[ipv6-wg] "Requirements For IPv6 in ICT Equipment" comment

Steve,

 

Do not you think that this is going too far? Especially if everyone is adding his/her own requirements...

 

For example, I cannot imagine a residential CPE having any kind of flow export ;-)

 

I would prefer to have RIPE-501 focus on the bare minimum requirements in order to get IPv6 deployed as soon as possible: this means enough requirements to be deployed in a secure, interoperable and manageable way but no more as we (at least I) prefer to have multiple 'compliant' devices.

 

Hope this helps and does not sound to vendor originated (see my affiliation)

Regarding:

http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-501.html 

 

I find no mention of flow instrumentation in the November 2010 document.

 

I suggest that "router and layer 3 switch" Mandatory support should include maintenance and export of flow records , ideally compliant with rfc 3917, with sampling rate capability of at least 1 per 1000 packets, at the maximum packet rate of the device.

 

Regards

Steve Nash
