It is not untenable. It is operational really. > There is no such textbook. As you now, that was a euphemism for 'a moderate degree of operational experience on networks of at least moderate complexity and scope'. One comes by this knowledge by doing the work. To deny the reality of the situation as described is equivalent to denying that the sun rises in the East. You can deny it all you want, but it doesn't change the objective facts of the situation. > There is no consensus that what you have said is true.

It's just indicative that the level of operational experience of many of those engaged on this topic is minimal. For myself, I would not presume to interpose myself in a discussion of topics of which I've little understanding, nor would I dismiss the arguments of specialists in the relevant fields without first having educated myself to attain a reasonable degree of understanding of those arguments. > But if you want everybody to believe it, you have to make your case, and > not just hand-wave when I ask you for specifics. It has already been explained in detail. Beyond what I've already explained here, relevant information is readily available both in the context of meetings of this WG and elsewhere on the Internet. Anyone who has genuine interest in understanding these topics has plenty of information available to be perused. And it is obvious that if there weren't significant issues at stake, then they wouldn't have been raised in the first place. ----------------------------------- Roland Dobbins <rdobb...@arbor.net> _______________________________________________ TLS mailing list TLS@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/tls
