I have not yet received any comments on these changes. I've gone ahead and produced a new Internet Draft based on the text below. It's currently available at http://www.radb.net/rpslng-03.html and http://www.radb.net/rpslng-03.txt The IETF Secretariat is not accepting new drafts until March 1. -Larry On Fri, 2004-02-20 at 16:15, Larry J.

Andrei Robachevsky has proposed the following changes to the syntax for policy expressions in RPSLng based on feedback from the list and a desire to simplify the syntax for the case where v4/v6 and/or unicast/multicast policy are converged.
1) the absence of safi in an expression means that both unicast and multicast are defined. I.e.,
afi ipv4 == afi ipv4.unicast,ipv4.multicast
2) The afi specification will be optional in the mp-* attributes in the aut-num class. If no afi is specified, the policy shall be expanded to include all afi and safi types, namely --
afi ipv4.unicast,ipv4.multicast,ipv6.unicast,ipv6.multicast
3) introduce a pseudo afi with the value of "any". I.e.,
afi any.unicast == afi ipv4.unicast,ipv6.unicast afi any == afi ipv4.unicast,ipv6.unicast,ipv4.multicast,ipv6.multicast
Looking forward to your feedback.
