[A very late reply to this email, but since no-one else replied… to add topic diversity to the list.]
SPRING chairs, Sending this note only for completeness, and not as indication of interest or support of draft-mirsky-spring-bfd-08.txt. Since draft-mirsky-spring-bfd has no provenance metadata (Replaces/Replaced-by tags), I thought it useful to point to the ancestry of this text. TL;DR: Two big concerns: 1. Review of this text (on a different draft) in the MPLS WG is unacknowledged and undressed. Basically this text has technical showstoppers. 2. Potentially applicable IPR, as per the email below, is undisclosed. Besides there being no apparent interest, there’s serious issues. Longer version: Martin, At the time you were shepherd of draft-ietf-mpls-bfd-directed, so you might remember this. Much of the text of draft-mirsky-spring-bfd seems to be coming from earlier versions of draft-ietf-mpls-bfd-directed. The text was removed from draft-ietf-mpls-bfd-directed during reviews in the MPLS WG, instead of fixing it, and now it seems to have found its way into a new document and a new WG, bypassing the previous review. All the text from draft-ietf-mpls-bfd-directed about SRv6 was removed here: https://tools.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-ietf-mpls-bfd-directed-03.txt All the text from draft-ietf-mpls-bfd-directed about SR MPLS was removed here: https://tools.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-ietf-mpls-bfd-directed-05.txt All that text received critical review and comments that can be found for example at: * https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/search/?q=%22draft-ietf-mpls-bfd-directed%22%20%22Segment%20Routing%3A%20MPLS%20Data%20Plane%20Case%22<https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/search/?q=%22draft-ietf-mpls-bfd-directed%22%20%22Segment%20Routing:%20MPLS%20Data%20Plane%20Case%22> * https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/search/?q=%22draft-ietf-mpls-bfd-directed%22%20%22Segment%20Routing%22 And the authors of draft-ietf-mpls-bfd-directed decided to remove it as per: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/mpls/imnwjd0the9F-F4gdHxh_J3xzq4 This particular email to the MPLS WG has interesting text: " authors decided to remove sections Segment Routing: MPLS Data Plane Case ... The new version has been submitted as draft-ietf-mpls-bfd-directed-05 (see below) and, to the best of our knowledge and understanding, earlier disclosed IPR is no longer applicable to this version. “ Basically this seems to imply that there was IPR applicable to that text, that removing it made it not applicable to the MPLS WG doc. https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/search/?submit=draft&id=draft-ietf-mpls-bfd-directed However, that text seems to have founds its way to this new doc, but there does not seem to be any IPR disclosures. https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/search/?submit=draft&id=draft-mirsky-spring-bfd There are still significant outstanding technical issues with this text, raised in the MPLS WG under a different I-D, but still apply, as for example: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/mpls/pPq_LO8E0vIKKYLiHa50z7cFWks https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/mpls/iXsENQuPWmmgsueNiUMlyRCcu4U https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/mpls/X1a595fcp8D-WYGO9UkVsqum23s Etc. Back to your regular programming (no pun intended :-) Best, Carlos.

Name: draft-mirsky-spring-bfd Revision: 08 Title: Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) in Segment Routing Networks Using MPLS Dataplane Document date: 2019-08-02 Group: Individual Submission Pages: 13 URL: https://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-mirsky-spring-bfd-08.txt Status: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-mirsky-spring-bfd/ Htmlized: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mirsky-spring-bfd-08 Htmlized: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-mirsky-spring-bfd Diff: https://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-mirsky-spring-bfd-08 Abstract: Segment Routing (SR) architecture leverages the paradigm of source routing. It can be realized in the Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) network without any change to the data plane. A segment is encoded as an MPLS label, and an ordered list of segments is encoded as a stack of labels. Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) is expected to monitor any existing path between systems. This document defines how to use Label Switched Path Ping to bootstrap a BFD session, control path in reverse direction of the SR-MPLS tunnel and applicability of BFD Demand mode in the SR-MPLS domain. Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org<http://tools.ietf.org/>.
