Re: [NSIS] I-D ACTION:draft-rahman-rtg-router-alert-dangerous-00.txt

 

|So obviously the whole thing has been messed up by imprecise
|specifications and weird implementation behavior. The question
|is really how to proceed now.
|a) Work on an update of RFC 2113, fixing specification flaws.
|   This may cause inconsistent behavior between old implementations
|   and new implementations following the new spec/RFC.
|b) Define a new RAO option type, this time with proper semantics,
|   let alone existing implementations of the old RAO stuff.
|
|Please see also the "I hate Router Alert" slides (slide 13-)
|from Robert Hancock @IETF67 (Nov 2006):
|http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/06nov/slides/nsis-1/nsis-1.ppt
|So the issues of the last bullet on slide 25 are still unsolved
|(except for the IANA issues).


I'd be happy to help with this effort.
