a positive test proves Ze does what the requirement demands and a negative one proves it refuses what the requirement forbids
Unsupported
RFC 8538 - Notification Message Support for BGP Graceful Restart
Every requirement this repository extracted from RFC 8538, the tests bound to it, and what a reader has verified about them. This summary is not enrolled.
Overview
Positive
what Ze has
the requirement admits no counter-case, so one polarity plus a recorded reason is the whole proof available for it
one direction is tested, the other is neither tested nor excused, and nothing states which
no test carries the requirement id, whether or not a gap states why
a red was observed once under a recorded procedure, and the unit, the claim and the producer it rested on still hash to what was recorded. The break is not re-run. A test pair is not a proof until one has been observed
0 weak, wrong or unimplemented, 0 no longer current. Each is named below under its own requirement id
Neutral
measures that are neither good news nor bad
MUST-level requirements this summary DECLARES. The gate holds none of them, because this RFC is not enrolled (blocked), so every share below reads what the summary records rather than what the gate enforces
a {not-applicable} annotation says the obligation does not bind Ze. Scope, not coverage: it is in no share below
No card above is a share of a population, so there is nothing to add up.
How to read the colors
A color names what the measure MEANS, not how well Ze scores on it. Green is a good outcome at any value, red is a bad one, and neither a population nor a scope count is an outcome, so both take no color. The number under the label is what says how far Ze has got.
| Card | Tone here | Why that color |
|---|---|---|
| MUSTs declared | neutral | no color: a population is a scale, and a larger one is neither good news nor bad. It is the accounting total |
| Out of scope | neutral | no color: an obligation that never bound Ze is neither an achievement nor a failure, and counting it either way would be a claim |
| Tested both ways | ok | green at every value: a test pair is the outcome this gate exists to produce, and the share under the label is what says how far Ze has got |
| One polarity plus reason | ok | green at every value: where no counter-case exists, one polarity IS the complete answer, and a recorded reason is what the gate demands beside it |
| One polarity, unexcused | ok | green at zero, RED above it: half a proof with no reason for the other half |
| No test at all | ok | green at zero, RED above it: a binding obligation nothing exercises is a claim with nothing behind it, whether or not a reason is stated |
| Proven by a recorded break | ok | green at every value: an observed break is the outcome the discrimination gate exists to produce. The denominator is TAGGED UNITS, not obligations, so this share is not one of the parts above |
| Audit verdicts | ok | RED on the first weak, wrong or unimplemented verdict, amber while a verdict is no longer current or a gated MUST is unjudged, green when every one is judged sound and current |

Enrolment
Not enrolled (blocked, something outside the summary stops the extraction, and it is named in the reason): Notification message support for BGP graceful restart. Written 2026-09-01 so the public row is declared by a summary. It is not enrolled because there is no source text at rfc/full/rfc8538.txt: fetch https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8538.txt, then extract. The row claims Unsupported, so no obligation here is gated.
What the public ledger says
Status: Unsupported
What the ledger says is covered:
Cease Hard Reset subcode (9) name is known.What the ledger says remains:
The GR N-bit is decoded but not acted upon; routes are dropped on any NOTIFICATION, so RFC 8538 route retention is not implemented.Coverage
RFC 8538 declares no MUST-level requirement, so the gate counts nothing here.
Requirements
RFC 8538 declares no requirement, so this summary generates no shard.
Gaps and untested MUSTs
RFC 8538 declares no gap, and every gated MUST it carries has a test bound to it.
Proof state
RFC 8538 carries no gated, tagged or audited requirement, so there is no proof state to state.
Extraction sign-off
No extraction sign-off exists for RFC 8538, so no reviewer has walked its text sentence by sentence.
Superseded
No document obsoletes RFC 8538, so its obligations are stated where they were written.
