 hi
i would like to ask how DiffServ can support mobile
communication(date and voice etc...)
any papers address this issue?

thank you very much
baroly

Hello Baroly:

The following paper covers some aspects of
wireless service differentiation for an
802.11 MAC across a shared link. It does
not cover mobility, however.

Barry, M., Campbell, A. T and A. Veres, "Distributed Control Algorithms for
Service Differentiation in Wireless Packet Networks ",Proc. IEEE
INFOCOM'2001, Anchorage, Alaska, 2001.

hi Andrew 
thank for your reply...
in the paper u mention that if the mobile node move to
anther base station  we need to transfer the previous
SLA 
my q is why? the mobile node can renegotiate according
to the QOS that the application need (so  it may get
better QOS that  the  new base station can support or
it can continues with acceptable degradation  which is
better than being blocked)

also I would like to ask can we use colouring  and 
marking shame like single rate three colour marker
(srtcm)
 to enable service differentiation in wireless
networks.

Hi all... I don't mean to be a bother but I just noticed on the current
draft agenda that the diffserv meeting has been changed to Friday
morning. Is this a mistake or has it been changed? Any help is
appreciated!

Brian,
Pre-note: I am aware of that this is a fundamental argument. My intention
is to learn the factors/trade offs on choosing current Diffserv 
Arcitecture as it is. I am sorry if this was an earlier discussions in
Diffserv group. I wasn't a member of diffserv discussion group back then.
In addition to below lines I would like to add: It seems to me that AF PHB
with a "loose" rate contraint (+ some other contraints if PDB definition
can't achieve adding additional contraints to PHB) would suffice as a
building block (p.s. if a PDB definition can add such contraint then only
AF PHB is enough as a PHB level building block. I mis-used
"overload" term, I guess. I meant adding additional contraints on a PHB,
i.e. adding rate contraint to AF PHB when defining (Expedited) Virtual
Wire PDB + delay). I assume loss also will depend on buffer/queue length
allocated.  Current, EF PHB claims that EF PHB can be used to build low
loss, low delay, low jitter, assured bandwidth services. I asked the
question of if "low jitter" is claimed or not, but didn't receive any
reply. If this is the case, then I don't see any reason why AF PHB can't
claim to be a building block for such services.
Going back to this threads discussion, I tried to make this point a long
time ago. To me, the most fundamental building block is a assurance
varying from 0% to 100%. I guess, this is the current Internet with no QoS
support (congestion control and avoidance is excluded). What AF PHB is put
into current architecture is to provide assurance levels for packets that
is marking packets with different assurance levels (from 0% to 100%). I
assume this mechanisms is a building block for "low loss" services. The
other two contraint that a PHB can achieve is rate and delay contraint. I
don't think that jitter contraint can be achieved efficiently by a PHB. As
a result result, a PHB can have a rate, delay, loss contraints varying
from 0% to 100%. Though jitter is not one of the contraints that a PHB can
achieve it efficiently, let's assume that this contraint can be achieved
varying from 0% to 100% (though current research shows that with aggregate
scheduling 100% is not possible if we don't know the topology where EF
addresses this with "figure of merit"). 
Regarding to congestion control and avoidance, I asked the question of "if
we need adaptive protocols in QoS-enabled networks" to
end-to-end-interest list a long time ago. I assume the answer to that is
for default (let's assume best-effort)  and default-like services, we need
adaptive protocols, i.e. the current Internet. Still, I am not sure if we
need it for non-defaul services. I assume for some services to improve the
performance of applications using this services and fairness among
applications, adaptive applications will help. However, I assume this
complexity can be pushed into the edge (this is kind of end-to-end
argument, I guess). I am aware of that TCP is all around and we need
mechanisms to protect TCP flows in a QoS-enabled networks. I assume
this is a whole different research and you will tell me to take this to
diffserv-interest.
Post-note: I am aware of that this is a fundamental argument. My intention 
is to learn the factors/trade offs on choosing current Diffserv
architecture as it is.

If you define a mathematically sound PDB that way, I can't see anything
wrong. 

The class selectors are mainly there for compatibility with IP Precedence,
but the first VW I ever experienced ran over class selector 5 with PQ
and strict admission control. It worked just fine.

It's currently Friday morning; I've lost track of how many
times it's been changed due to various scheduling conflicts.
But watch this space as there may be more change soon.

- The (strict) admission control was for Diffserv EF aggregate or per-flow
(meaning microflow/application flow) at the edge ??? 
- I assume network was a little "overprovisioned" to achieve rate
constraints ??? 
- Was jitter among the services to be supported? If so, I assume jitter
accumulation problem was solved with toplology-are
setup/configuration/mechanisms??? 
- I appreciate any pointer/reference. Thank you very much.

Brian,

I remember your answer that stated "self-similar traffic" based on a
mathematical model. I wasn't very sure what you meant by this, but to me
some deterministic/stochastic models can achieve delay/jitter services
based on AF PHB. I might be underestimating the problems.
What I meant by "Expedited Virtual Wire" PDB is to inherit the current EF
PHB constraints as PDB constraints. In this context, "jitter
accumulation" fits very well here. However, my intention was not this
explicitly. I am trying to understand current design choices/tradeoff of
current Diffserv architecture (especially fundamental designof it) over
this approach. I tried to explain this in one of my previous (long
one) message. I also remember somehow related point made by Juha (I am
sorry if I am naming the wrong person). I hope I am not missing any
important issue here. Please see my previous email explained more detail.

P.S. I still didn't receive any answer if "jitter" is part of services
that EF might support.

Hi,

> P.S. I still didn't receive any answer if "jitter" is part of services
> that EF might support.

The EF draft binds the delay inside a device. Binding of the jitter is a direct consequence of binding the delay:

If:
     Delay < B/R + E_p   
Then:
     Jitter < B/R + E_p      

As explained in the draft, jitter is the difference between minimum and maximum delay. Therefore when delay is bound by D, jitter is also bound by D. Off course this is not the tightest bound for jitter. If one wants to find a tighter bound,  he could use separate "E" components advertised by a device: 

If:
     E_p = E_fixed + E_variable
Then:
     Jitter < B/R + E_variable

In the latter formula Jitter has a tighter bound than the former formula.

Yours,
-Shahram

What you expect corresponds to classical RED as defined in [1,2]: When
the smoothed average queue length exceeds the second ("max")
threshold, all packets are dropped.

Section 3.5.2 of the I-D describes a variant of RED which is commonly
referred to as "gentle" RED.  Using my limited tools (no library but
WWW access), I couldn't come up with self-contained descriptions of
it.  The best approximation seems to be the last paragraph
http://www.aciri.org/floyd/REDfunc.txt (followed by an unfinished
ASCII art graph which should probably look somewhat like this:

The MIB DEFINITIONS however don't contain a variable that would
correspond to Qclip.  This is at least confusing (maybe Qclip is meant
to be 2 * Qmax, as Sally suggested?).

I'm thinking about how this part of the MIB could be improved, but
currently I don't have time to write something down.

Other than the fact that there isn't a CSC PHB 8 (a mistype I expect),
there's some sense in what you're saying. In fact, I'm somewhat of
the opinion that it makes more sense to put, as is stated in the PDB def
document, the additional restrictions required on a particular
"standard"
PHB in order to meet the specific requirements of that PDB rather than
to try to think of everything that needs to be put into a PHB definition
for some PDB that might use it in the future. That is, PHBs were/are
supposed to be generally useful things whose coupling with specific
configurations and traffic conditioning at the edge would/could lead
to a particular per-domain behavior (or "edge to edge service" if you
will). The original reason for an EF PHB was that it seemed that this
PHB was generally useful for a range of things. For VW it is of course
possible to configure a CSC to give the desired behavior and, in
practice,
that's been done experiments and limited uses. (If you consider the
CS PHBs to be the direct descendants of the old precedence stuff.)

You can define any PDB you wish, but please note that "Virtual Wire"
is already taken. There are lots of possible names out there. For
example, use Virtual Leased Line. We abandoned that name since it
was getting a sort of colloquial use that was inconsistent with the
original intent.

Katie,
My intention is not to state that I would like to use "Virtual Wire" name
at all (I am not trying to write a PDB, I wish I were at that stage :).
It was just an example. I used that name so that readers can
understand my point. Please refer to my old email regarding to my
point. Thank you very much for reminding about naming issue though.

Diffservers,

At present the outstanding WG work items are:

Finalize model and MIB drafts, submit to IESG (overdue since July 2000)
  The remaining issues on these drafts are rather specialized and
  are better discussed by email.
Finalize PIB draft, submit to IESG (overdue since August 2000)
  This is not ready for further discussion at this time.
Finalize initial PDB descriptions, submit to IESG (overdue since August 2000)
  In our view, none of the PDB descriptions are yet backed up by
  operational experience as required for them to be published.
RFC2598 revision
  All points of principle were settled in San Diego.

Thus, we don't have any issues to discuss in a big meeting.
For this reason we have decided not to hold a WG session at the
Minneapolis IETF meeting.

    Brian + Kathie

Hi,

    What is the reason for nocorrelation between session DS value
 and Control DS values?  Giving more priority for  control packets
 than data session packets seems to be a good thing to have.


thanks,
hari kishan

Fred,

Has the Model be changed? Or Is it based on draft-ietf-diffserv-model-06 ?

Thank you.

I agree with you it seems to be a good thing to have more prority for
control packets than data packets, but it's very much up to the operation
to decide what to do with it, and the protocol is flexible enough to
accommodate whatever arrangement that comes off from the Service Level
Agreement between the two L2TP endpoints.

Hari,

Diffserv is not a priority model, so there is no magic formula that will
achieve the effect you are after. It is a matter of QOS policy which
diffserv behaviors are applied to which traffic, and the policy
is an operational choice outside the scope of any IETF standard.

In the draft, jitter is defined as:
"jitter is defined as the variation between maximum and minimum delay."

I guess, what you mean by "variation" needs a further explanation. In
literature, variation IS NOT a simple difference. I assume VW PDB is based
on EF PHB because it is expected that VW behavior depends on overall
packet behavior where "jitter" is a well-known QoS parameters that can
be used in network literature so far  we know; not only one packet's
behavior. Of course, "jitter" gets bounded when "delay" gets bounded cause
... However, obviously, EF PHB is not capable of pushing the "limits" of
"jitter" that is "no/zero jitter" from mathematical point of view. I am
very confused with above definitions.

Sorry, I hadn't read the description thoroughly enough.  It says quite
clearly: "diffServAlgDropQThreshold represents Qclip".  Welllllllll...
in my opinion, Qclip should be independent of the physical size of the
queue, but the DESCRIPTION of diffServRandomDropMaxThreshBytes suggests
that, for random droppers, diffServAlgDropQThreshold is the queue depth.

I have another fundamental problem with the way the droppers, and in
particular the random dropper, are specified: it's not clear whether they
count packets or bytes.  The specific thresholds in the random dropper
both have a byte-counting variant as well as a packet-counting variant,
e.g. diffServRandomDropMinThreshBytes and diffServRandomDropMinThreshPkts.

It's fine if both packet-counting and byte-counting RED can be expressed,
but, in my limited imagination, a given RED can only do one at a time.
When I set diffServRandomDropMinThreshBytes, then that change "may or may
not be reflected in the reported value of
diffServRandomDropMinThreshPkts.", but how do I know whether the dropper
will listen to my byte-threshold or to a packet-threshold derived from
it? It certainly cannot do both.

Also note that for Qclip, there's only a byte-counting version
(diffServAlgDropQThreshold).  That currently breaks the possibility to
describe both byte- and packet-counting random droppers.

For the non-random droppers, it means that only byte-counting head/tail
droppers can be expressed.  Personally I think that's fine, but it may be
problematic for some types of queue implementations.  Fortunately I don't
build routers, I just operate them.  So let's leave it as is.

So here are my suggestions (a context diff relative to the -09 draft is
appended):

* Qclip should be independent from physical queue depth.  Add variables
  for Qclip to DiffServRandomDropEntry, let's say
  "diffServRandomDropClipThresh"{Bytes,Pkts}.

* It should be possible to specify all queue-size-valued parameters of
  the random dropper (diffServRandomDrop{Min,Max,Clip}Thresh) as either
  packets or bytes, but not independently, i.e. if one is specified in
  bytes, you cannot specify another in bytes (at least not in the same
  dropper).

  Each DiffServRandomDropEntry should have an additional variable
  "diffServRandomDropCountStyle" which can be packets(1) or octets(2).
  On some boxes this will be read-only (because they only support one
  style of counting), on others you can select the counting style per
  dropper.

  For each threshold, we can either keep separate bytes/packets
  variables, only one of which will be used depending on
  diffServRandomDropCountStyle, or have only one "overloaded" variable
  per threshold that should be interpreted depending on
  diffServRandomDropCountStyle.  I have no idea which is preferable, so
  let's leave it as is (two variables per threshold).

* "Bytes" should be renamed "Octets" everywhere to appease the God of MIBs.

I forgot to remove the fixed value of B/R, doing so you could express the jitter as:

Jitter < E_variable

Which is a tighter bound and in fact can be zero theoretically.

Jitter has many definitions in the literature. Some assume it to be the difference between max and min delay, some assume it to be the Variance of the PDF of the delay, ...

See above.

I don't see how to reconcile this view of a "shaper" with what's in the Model 
draft, or with what I thought was in the MIB, as explained by you and Kwok in 
private messages over the last few weeks. "Queues" do not have output rates, 
they just contain data. "Schedulers" do have input rates (rates at which they 
pull data from whatever happens to be at their input). "TCB" is a shorthand for 
"collection of datapath elements that together implement some traffic 
conditioning functionality": it seems reasonable to use this shorthand for the 
queues-feeding-into-schedulers thing which is what is used, at least in the 
Model draft, to build something with traffic shaping functionality. It seems as 
if you are arguing that a "shaper" needs to be an independent element in the 
Model - if so, you need to argue the case for that on the list.

I don't think anyone was arguing that Meters were a part of such a shaper (they 
can certainly be part of different types of shapers which may or may not make 
commercial sense).

I assume you're talking about things that didn't make it into -09 draft: will do 
so. In the last week or so, I have been attempting to decipher the scheduler 
part of the MIB since the changes that you and Kwok made last time around - I 
don't recall much publication or consensus-building on those changes on the list 
though: as far as I can tell, your consensus for those changes was based on 2 
opinions and a whole bunch of deafening silence (that's OK, that's how we work 
here). I think we've made some good progress with -09 (many thanks to Fred for 
lightning fast editing turnarounds) in the last week although there's still more 
work to be done.

In another message you say that the MIB does try to represent this, at least for 
a RFC 2963 shaper.

It sounds, again, like you are arguing that the Model draft cannot adequately 
represent this RFC 2963 shaper, and yet you are quite happy to have the MIB 
attempt to do so. I know you do not care that much for the Model document but 
the WG has said, again and again, that it wants that document to represent, in 
an abstract way, the things that the MIB is based on.

I cannot see any record of the WG having decided to add the RFC 2963 shaper 
support to the MIB - but if it did, and I guess it could have been a verbal 
agreement that was not captured in writing anywhere, then I would have expected 
the WG chairs to have insisted that the Model be updated consistently. Right now 
things are, apparently, inconsistent - please supply text to update the Model 
draft or else we should remove the RFC 2963 stuff from the MIB.

Well, if it takes a TCB to implement a shaper (your statement to which I 
was responding), a meter is going to have to be part of it. Maybe I'm not 
understanding your definition of a shaper.

To me, a shaper is a queue with a maximum output rate. A simple shaper is 
exactly that, and a multi-rate shaper is a queue with more than one maximum 
output rate and a reason to choose among them. For a well-described 
example, read RFC 2963; it talks a whole lot about a queue, some number of 
rates, and some number of thresholds that say when each rate might be 
chosen. It also goes into great depth on how the parameters to such a thing 
should be specified - some number of {threshold, rate} pairs. That is 
literally what I implemented in the diffServShapingRateTable:

         DiffServShapingRateEntry ::= SEQUENCE  {
             diffServShapingRateId              Unsigned32,
             diffServShapingRateLevel           Unsigned32,
             diffServShapingRateAbs             Unsigned32,
             diffServShapingRateRel             Unsigned32,
             diffServShapingRateThreshold       BurstSize,
             diffServShapingRateStatus          RowStatus
         }

It doesn't take a classifier, a meter, a set of actions, and a queue to 
implement that, and when you say "a shaper is a TCB", I start looking for a 
classifier, a meter, and a set of actions, as well as a queue. So I'm 
missing something. Fill me in?

Those are certainly some of the things that can be contained in a TCB. Nowhere 
does the Model say that they must all be present. As I wrote before, it's just a 
useful shorthand for "a collection of datapath elements".

I understood that there was interest in a multi-rate shaper. I looked at a 
definition for a multi-rate shaper, and put the parameters that definition 
required into the MIB. If you would rather not model a multi-rate shaper, I 
will remove the table from the MIB. You and Steve duke that one out, and 
the chairs can tell me I'm all wet.

As I have said before, the MIB does not directly model a shaper, as we do 
not have a meter that checks the instantaneous queue depth, we do not have 
an action that removes a packet from a queue, and so on. A shaper could 
probably be implemented with a TCB, but the MIB does not directly model 
TCBs, it models classifiers, meters, actions, queues, and schedulers, which 
one can build TCBs out of.

Aren't we a little late for this debate? The MIB has *never* had the 
necessary components to let you build a shaper. A shaper has always been 
something you parameterized, not something you built.

The VW draft (which has expired) was based on RFC 2598, not on the
redefinition of EF.

My impression was that maybe Demir was thinking "variance" rather than
"variation," the latter having no particularly specific technical meaning.

Alper,

I agree. However, admission rules for one2any and one2one may differ significantly. This is
the reason why in our draft we decided to focus only on the one2any case.

> - Is this PDB based on a "stochastic model" where "stochastic admission
> rule" is used as a supporting mechanisms for assured rate for one2ay?

Yes. This is one of the differences with the AR PDB draft and ours.

> supports one2one, one2few and one2any.

Yes.

> If not, what do you think about

There is a tradeoff between the probability of not dropping one-to-any assured rate traffic
and network utilization: the higher this probability, the higher the network utilization by
assured rate traffic. If we make this probability small enough, we will have a kind of
"assured rate" in a real life.
However, in our draft we have left this probability as a configuration parameter of the
service to be configured based on the network operator's preferences.
In the future we plan to perform simulations to study this tradeoff.

I agree. Actually, the intention of our draft goes in this direction.

Albert

That was how I understood it. The strong requirement I have is that the MIB
is *consistent* with the model; that doesn't oblige them to be congruent,
so I am not bothered by things being present in one and not the other,
as long as they don't actively contradict each other.

Sure. A TCB is just a descriptive tool; I don't think we
expect to see it manifested in an implementation.

Brian,

There should be also some effort from the authors to
provide a bit of a framework on how to test based on 
"packet id aware equations" (especially with regard to the notion of
relative ordering of packets arriving at different interfaces, which is 
fundamental to the soundness of the packet id aware equation, if
my understanding is not wrong). Any tip welcome.

Dear DiffServ WG,

A couple of weeks ago there was a discussion about admission 
control and DiffServ. In our view, the real point to discuss 
is not if DiffServ needs admission control, but whether 
DiffServ low level mechanisms ARE CAPABLE of supporting 
some form of implicit admission control function, where the term 
implicit comes necessarily out since we cannot handle explicit 
signaling and flow-level state information.

To this purpose, please (for the moment -  waiting for this draft to 
be archived) refer to:

http://cerbero.elet.polimi.it/ietf/draft_bianchi_blefari_adm_contr_over_af.txt

for an approach that attempts to link per flow admission control 
to standardized packet level mechanisms (namely, the AF PHB). We 
feel that our (unexpected?) suggested usage of the AF PHB may be 
of interest for DiffServ WG discussions.

Sincerely,

Giuseppe Bianchi
Nicola Blefari-Melazzi

The following new I-D was uploaded to the IETF internet draft site on
2/23/00 and is
now available there for download.

Title: Proportional Forwarding PHB
Authors: P. Jagannathan, A. Durresi, and Raj Jain
Category: Informational
Filename: draft-jagannathan-diffserv-pf-00.txt

Abstract:
   We propose a new Per Hop Behavior (PHB) for differentiated services
   in IP networks.  In this PHB, each network subscriber (or flow)
   receives a bandwidth allocation proportional to the subscribed
   information rate.  This new PHB is called "Proportional Forwarding
   PHB" or PF PHB.  The marking mechanism at the source or ingress
   router and the queuing and discard behavior at core routers are
   clearly described.

   Three different sample marking algorithms are proposed in this
   document and are analyzed using simulations.  It is shown that it is
   possible to obtain proportional bandwidth allocation using proper
   marking mechanism at the ingress routers and multi-level threshold-
   based dropping mechanism at the core routers.

I agree. I made this comment because, I guess, the name led me
to. Current, AR PDB also claims one2any, too. They address the issue with
"assumptions". They don't give any specific mechanisms. However, I assume,
your approach gives a specific mechanisms with "admission rules" where it
is based on a stochastic model; as a result, assurance on rate is
stochastic. I am not sure if you are planning to integrate
"determinism" into your approach. In case of one2one, "deteminism" seems
possible without any sacrifice from "utilization". I guess, there is no
problem if the whole architecture is stochastic, for simplicity and
easy service understanding for later, either.

Why the PHB ID code is 12 bit wide for non standard PHBS??I think
 6 bits should be enough ?? Am I missing something ??

Somebody asked (sorry I had a mail glitch and had to look in the archive....)

> Why the PHB ID code is 12 bit wide for non standard PHBS??I think
>  6 bits should be enough ?? Am I missing something ??

Yes. The DSCP is 6 bits which only allows 64 values, but that is not
the limit on the number of PHBs - since DSCPs are locally mapped,
there can be a theoretically infinite number of PHBs.

Note that the PHBID revision has already passed WG last call. The new last call
is for comments from the rest of the IETF.

My co-authors and I have collected all the comments that have been made so
far on the list regarding draft-ietf-diffserv-rfc2598bis-00.txt. The
following mail summarizes the issues raised and proposes a resolution for
each issue. In addition to the issues listed below, Dan Grossman made a
couple of suggestions for clarification that I didn't bother to list below
but which made sense and will be taken care of.

If you feel the need to reply to these on the list, it might be best to
break the issues out into separate threads.

Bruce Davie
---------------------------

Issue 1. Lack of mention of jitter in the abstract.

This was a simple omission, abstract will be made consistent with the rest
of the document. As noted in Section 2.4, per-hop jitter can be bounded if
the offered load to a node is also appropriately bounded.

Proposal: add the words ", low jitter" after "low loss" in the abstract.

Issue 2. Use of "speed-of-light" to cover fixed propagation delays.

Proposal: replace "speed-of-light delay" with "fixed propagation delay"

Issue 3. Definition of packet arrival & departure times.

Dan Grossman makes the point that the arrival time had better be defined as
time of arrival the last bit of the packet *including layer 2 trailer, if
present*, since the packet isn't available for forwarding before that time.
And then the departure time should be similarly defined.

Proposal: make the change as Dan suggests

Issue 4. How can a scheduler run early?

Dan asked this question if reference to 2.1, fourth para.

As the text says, we can consider the scheduler to be running "early" if it
delivers a packet earlier than the ideal time. I'm not quite sure how to
make this clearer than it already is.

Issue 5. Naming issue - colorblind, color-aware, etc.

I have yet to come up with a pair of names that makes everyone happy. My
current favorite is:

 "aggregate behavior" (equations 1 & 2, with error term E_a)
and "packet-identity-aware" (equations 3 & 4, error term E_p)

Some people like colorblind but many found it confusing. I think "aggregate"
works pretty well, since it defines the behavior of the EF aggregate
(without regard to individual packets). I prefer "packet-identity-aware" to
Dan's suggested "individual flow" because the equations themselves refer to
packets, not flows - the issue of microflow (mis)ordering is handled by a
piece of text, not the equations.

Proposal : replace "colorblind" with "aggregate behavior"; leave
"packet-identity-aware" unchanged.


Issue 6. Layer 2 overhead.

Dan asked if it was really OK to leave layer 2 overhead out of the
definition of l_j and R.
My opinion is that it is OK, and that implementors simply need to make sure
that, if a scheduler is configured to deliver service at rate R as defined
in bits of IP packet per second, that it can do so while dealing with the
worst case layer 2 overhead. This exact issue arises in the int-serv service
definitions and I don't think there is any significant issue here.

Proposal: no change.

(I could be persuaded to add a few words in the appendix on this issue.)

Issue 7. Unclear definitions of F_j and D_j

Dan points out that when we say "packet that arrived", we don't say where it
arrived. The intent is that the packet may have arrived on any interface of
the DS-node in question.

Proposal: add clarifying text per Dan's suggestion: "packet that arrived at
any interface to the node"

Issue 8. Additional security considerations:

Proposal: insert Dan's text verbatim:

"In addition, traffic conditioning at the ingress to a DS-domain MUST ensure
that only packets having DSCPs that correspond to an EF PHB when they enter
the DS-domain are marked with a DSCP that corresponds to EF inside the
DS-domain.  Such behavior is as required by RFC 2475.  It protects against
denial-of-service and theft-of-service attacks which exploit DSCPs that are
not identified in any TCS provisioned at an ingress interface, but which map
to EF inside the DS-domain."


Issue 9. Multiple instances of EF PHB in a domain

Proposal: Add some text in the appendix to mention this possibility and its
effect on implementations.

Issue 10. Other schedulers in the appendix

Dan suggested adding mention of EDF; since there are a million schedulers
and the appendix is only there for illustrative purposes, I'm not inclined
to do much here. This topic is given more coverage in the
informational-track draft-ietf-diffserv-ef-supplemental-00.txt, to which we
can make a reference.

Issue 11. How to test for comformance to the "packet-identity-aware"
equations

Alessio Casati requested some clarification on how a device's conformance to
the "packet-identity-aware" equations could be tested "especially with
regard to the notion of
relative ordering of packets arriving at different interfaces".

In theory, two packets can't arrive at *exactly* the same time on different
interfaces. However, if two or more packets arrive at almost the same time
and the difference between their arrival times can't be measured, then it is
acceptable to use a random tie-breaking method (a virtual coin-toss) to
decide which packet arrived "first". It is precisely for this reason that
devices with large numbers of interfaces, even if they have excellent
schedulers, tend to have large values of E_p.

Proposal: Add a paragraph near the end of section 2.2 (after equations 3 &
4) along the following lines:

For the purposes of testing conformance to these equations, it may be
necessary to deal with packet arrivals on different interfaces that are
closely spaced in time. If two or more EF packets destined for the same
output interface arrive (on different inputs) at almost the same time and
the difference between their arrival times can't be measured, then it is
acceptable to use a random tie-breaking method to decide which packet
arrived "first".

hi 
i have one Q regarding PHP

say there is traffic like this
                                 
Tx1------                         ER2------ Rx1
-------- ER1 -----core1 --core2
Tx2------                         ER3------Rx2

if we have traffic from Tx1 to Rx1 and from Tx2 to Rx2
both traffic entering the diffServ Domain thorough
edge router (ER1) say both have the same QoS and have
the same DSCP my question is how the core
router2(core2)
will  know which traffic should go to ER2 from the
traffic that should go to ER3
thanks

This memo describes a SMIv2 MIB for a device implementing the
Differentiated Services Architecture [DSARCH], described in detail by
the Informal Management Model for Diffserv Routers [MODEL].

In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-diffserv-mib-09.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Differentiated Services Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Differentiated Services Quality of Service Policy 
                          Information Base
	Author(s)	: M. Fine, K. McCloghrie, J. Seligson, 
                          K. Chan, S. Hahn, A. Smith, F. Reichmeyer
	Filename	: draft-ietf-diffserv-pib-03.txt
	Pages		: 94
	Date		: 06-Mar-01
	
[SPPI] describes a structure for specifying policy information that can
then be transmitted to a network device for the purpose of configuring
policy at that device.  The model underlying this structure is one of
well defined policy rule classes and instances of these classes residing
in a virtual information store called the Policy Information Base (PIB).

This document specifies a set of policy rule classes specifically for
configuring QoS Policy for Differentiated Services [DSARCH].

One way to provision policy is by means of the COPS protocol [COPS] with
the extensions for provisioning [COPS-PR].  This protocol supports
multiple clients, each of which may provision policy for a specific
policy domain such as QoS.  The PRCs defined in this DiffServ QoS PIB
are intended for use by the COPS-PR QoS client type.  Furthemore, these
PRCs are in addition to any other PIBs that may be defined for the QoS
client type in the future, as well as the PRCs defined in the Framework
PIB [FR-PIB]

It will know via the IP header and routing tables.  The DiffServ processing
polices and shapes the traffic and then the routing tables determine where
to route the traffic.

Subject: [Diffserv] PHP


hi 
i have one Q regarding PHP

say there is traffic like this
                                 
Tx1------                         ER2------ Rx1
-------- ER1 -----core1 --core2
Tx2------                         ER3------Rx2

if we have traffic from Tx1 to Rx1 and from Tx2 to Rx2
both traffic entering the diffServ Domain thorough
edge router (ER1) say both have the same QoS and have
the same DSCP my question is how the core
router2(core2)
will  know which traffic should go to ER2 from the
traffic that should go to ER3
thanks

This a forwarding decision based on routes or paths that
have been previously setup - it is not specified by the 
Diffserv PHBs.

The intent of the AR PDB spec was not to constrain the means
by which the network operator realizes the edge-to-edge 
behaviour for the PDB. There are various possibilities. 
The assumption section documents one possibility. The one2any
draft documents another possibility.

The authors crafted the paragraph on delay/jitter in response
to the comments on the initial draft. We feel it accurately
captured the sentiment on the list.

More to the point, this may be necessary to support, say, Virtual Wire with

However, being characterized by R ans S means that it must be possible to have multiple EF PHBs in the same DS domain for example to implement different PDBs. Shouldn't EF PHB in such a case be a PHB group?

RFC 2836 says " For PHBs defined by standards action, as per [RFC 2474],
the recommended DSCP values must be used, even if  the network in question
has
 chosen a different mapping"

But  draft-ietf-l2tpext-ds-03.txt, section 8 on DS Value encoding did not
enforce
the same ( I found the above stmt from RFC2836 is missing in this draft).

 Doesn't it mean that the encoding given in this draft differs from the
RFC2836
 with no strict rule to use the recommended dscp values??

Why can't we have the same rfc2836 PHB encoding  system for L2TP PHB
negotiation ??

Please read the first paragraph of section 8 very carefully:

   The DS value is a left-justified 16-bit field using Per Hop Behavior
   (PHB) encoding defined in [RFC 2836].  Note that [RFC 2836] and its
   successor is the ultimate authority defining PHB encoding, and
                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   governs if there is any conflict between it and the text reproduced
   in this section.

L2TP DS encoding *does* use RFC 2836 PHB encoding.

Hi,

The l2tpext draft is correctly using RFC2836. It says:

  "If the DS value comprises a single PHB, the encoding for the DS is
   the encoding for this single PHB.  It is the recommended DSCP value
   for that PHB, left-justified in the 16-bit field, with bits 6 through
   15 set to zero."

Yours,
-Shahram

Dear Raj,

I read your I-D and I think it is an interesting example of
providing relative services. Even though the diffserv WG is not
going to standardize any more PHBs AFAIK, it is still something
that can be implemented as an experimental PHB in some
"QoS-inclined" networks or in individual hot-spot links.

The PHB that you propose is quite relative (even though not the
same idea) with our work on Proportional Differentiation. I mean
the following papers, written with P. Ramanathan from U-Wisc
and D. Stiliadis from Bell Labs:
http://www.cis.udel.edu/~dovrolis/Papers/sigcomm99.ps
http://www.cis.udel.edu/~dovrolis/Papers/case.pdf
http://www.cis.udel.edu/~dovrolis/Papers/iwqos00.ps

or my PhD thesis:
http://www.cis.udel.edu/~dovrolis/Papers/thesis.ps.gz

Of course, your work targets more on proportional bandwidth
differentiation, while we focus on proportional delay and loss rate
differentiation. The reason we focus on per-hop delays and losses is
that all Internet applications have to be rate-adaptive (at least in
my opinion) depending on the network congestion (a la TCP),
instead of transmitting at a fixed rate.

It will be interesting to examine the similarities/differences
between the two approaches (bandwidth vs delays/losses) in depth,
and how they can be jointly implemented in the network core and edges.

Constantinos

I'm an Italian student and I hope you don't find too silly my question.  I was
asking myself  if it's possible perform DiffServ qos in ipsec data flow. How can
I choose which packet discard inside a tunnel where each packet have header and
payload encryped?
Sorry for my bad english.
Best regards
Cianchi Mauro

See RFC 2983 for how IPSec and Diffsrv work well (or not so well) with each
other. It comes down to a class of service per tunnel.

For the draft we do not plan to integrate determinism. Another PDB draft 
may be look into one2one deterministic guarantees.

All,

I have a question pertaining to the PDP providing policy updates
(specifically QoS/Diffserv PIB) to the PEP.  Please let me know if this
question belongs on another mailing list.  Anyhow, can a PDP only send data
from one or two tables in a DEC without also providing Interface Name and
Role Combination data?  In other words, would the PEP look at pointer values
to determine what policy set this subset updates?

Regards,

Tina Iliff

I just read the one-to-any AR PDB draft. 
The key concept in the draft appears to be
an admission control mechanism for aggregates based on
assigning traffic distribution probabilities for each 
ingress-egress pair visited by that aggregate.

In this respect, it seems to me there are a few key 
issues worth discussing:

- The draft says the traffic distributions MAY be a 
  PDB parameter for an aggregate.
  I doubt customers would specify such information as it
  is difficult to predict ahead of time. In a network with
  hundreds of nodes, it will be difficult for a customer to
  provide a probability for each of the 100 egresses that
  its traffic may visit from a particular ingress.

- Morover, an aggregate's parameters would usually be
  something that the network would assure and also
  enforce: such as the rate. The provider can neither
  assure the traffic distribution nor enforce it.
  The latter is theoretically possible via an 
  edge device mechanism but may introduce scalability
  concerns and may not be desirable.

- The draft specifies a loss probability to be 
  associated with the PDB parameters. In order for 
  such information to be useful, there must be an 
  indication of how such probability will be measured.
  This is something that needs careful consideration.
  e.g. Is a measurement interval for the loss probability
  sufficient? Probably not. Hotspot routing 
  type problems (eg olympic server), may cause loss 
  rates to be temporarily skewed for timeframes 
  longer than the measurement interval. In any case,
  just wanted to point out it is not as simple of 
  stating a loss probability as a PDB parameter. The
  AR PDB originally had much discussion on loss
  probability but the authors finally agreed to take
  it out because not all providers want to explicitly 
  guarantee a loss probability. 

- IMHO, the key contribution of the draft, is providing
  one mechanism to assist in realizing the AR PDB.  I don't
  think it is really a separate PDB definition. 
  I'm also not sure there is sufficient evidence to say that 
  such an approach is better than one based on 
  monitoring traffic loads. 

Best,
Nabil

I, also, agree with all comments made by Nabil below. I have a question
on the traffic  volume granularity of an admission control:
As far as I am aware of, all current admission control research is based
on a finer-grained traffic that is five tupple microflows
(srcIP,dstIP,srcPrt,dstPrt,protocolID). However the grain of Diffserv
aggregate is much larger than microflow (I am not very familiar with ATM
or any other architectures, but I assume they are the same way, too). To
me the question is: Do we need "admission control" for Diffserv
aggregates (actually, what is the granularity that can be used for
admission control)? If so, what is the granularity of services that can be
provided and if clients are willing to use it? If not, then I assume there
are easier mechanisms that can be used such as one described in AR PDB
(Nabil also points it out in a differnt way in his last comment).
My last concern is on the implementation and service provider
issue: will clients ask for "stochastic" services at all if the network
dynamics can not be predetermined with current tools we have, and will
network dynamics not change at all (what is the time scale that network
dynamics change drasticaly?)

You can blame me. Obviously any proposed resolution of his points
has to be agreed by the WG but it seemed like a good idea to get
consensus among those most actively involved first.

Tina,

I think that the PEP should be able to process the policy
updates if the PDP makes sure that the references to the PRC 
instances in this changed subset of the PIB are still valid.

Subject: [Diffserv] COPS-PR 05 question: Policy Updates


All,

I have a question pertaining to the PDP providing policy updates
(specifically QoS/Diffserv PIB) to the PEP.  Please let me know if this
question belongs on another mailing list.  Anyhow, can a PDP only send data
from one or two tables in a DEC without also providing Interface Name and
Role Combination data?  In other words, would the PEP look at pointer values
to determine what policy set this subset updates?

Regards,

Tina Iliff

I agree, that most customers won't be able to specify that. But some may be 
around, which have a very clear picture of their usage. Therefore it is a MAY. 
IMO, the probability is a function of the capacity or utilization of the egress 
links assuming that new users behave similar to the total of the existing users.

You are right, the latter has severe scalability problems (to our todays 
knowledge). But as said before, the probability as a parameter makes only 
sense in a few scenarios.

We recognized, that loss probability is the wrong wording. What we meant is the 
probability of congestion in a buffer less network model. (Albert, Sandra do I 
correctly discribe our discussion?

We do not claim to be better, but we try to quantify the congestion probability 
(at least an upper bound). I would like to here some other opinions on whether 
it is a seperate PDB or not.

Hello,

I'm currently studying the performance for real-time traffic using
DiffServ, and were wondering if some of you can give me some hints where
to find articles or reports addressing this issue.

Everything will be of great interest.

Regards
Frode Trydal

Hi,

   Have a doubt about the usage of ZeroDotZero in the  Management Information
   Base for Diffserv architecture . 

 What is the action to be undertaken when ZeroDotZero is encountered? 
 The MIB mentions that it is the end of the Diffserv functionality . What does
  ths mean ?? 

 How do we know what is the next functionality to be applied. 
 For eg. in the case of ingress the functionality may be ip forwarding and in
 the case of egress it may be the dev driver transmit functionality. 

   For example
  On the ingress side :

      The Next Data Path element of the Meter Table is 0.0 , Then after meter
   functionality is executed , should we carry out the normal IP forwarding .
   There is no queuing taking place in this particular case .

In this case, since Sean Murphy's DS patch is for the network
simulator ns, the appropriate place is the ns-users mailing list
described under:

I think you answered your own question - on the ingress side, after you 
have applied forwarding and accounting policies related to the ingress 
interface, one would expect you to select an egress interface and routing 
neighbor, and apply the policies related to it.

But the point is not that we know what that process is. The point is that 
it is not specified by diffserv, and therefore beyond the scope of this MIB.

What I meant was: the introduction (section 1.0) of the 
one2any draft implies that the AR PDB as defined 
cannot be used for a one-to-any service. It further
appears to infer that folks deploying the AR PDB
would use an admission control scheme based on
multi-path capacity reservation. Neither of the above
are the case.

The AR PDB applies to the one-to-any scenario and 
does not mandate how it should be realized.

Best,
Nabil

Oh, did we write that? The emphasis was on the fact, that one-to-one
assured rate with admission control may be provided differently than we
use in our draft. Which means in fact that our draft may not work well
for the one-to-one case. 

Since your draft does not specify how the PDB should be provided, we can
not argue about whether it is at all comparable with ours. Sorry for any
misunderstandings, we will fiix it in a future version.

Hi,
  do the accounting policies relating to the ingress interface have to be
applied after forwarding(ip forwarding - routing core) or before? This is 
just to clarify the sentence

Hi,

I have a question about the DataPath Table , which is indexed by
ifIndex, diffServDataPathIfDirection. Unlike other MIB tables which have
the index as an element, the diffServDataPathTable doesnt have ifIndex
as an entry.  My question is why is ifIndex included as an index though it
is not one of the elements of the table?

Subject: [Diffserv] Question about DataPathTable


Hi,

I have a question about the DataPath Table , which is indexed by
ifIndex, diffServDataPathIfDirection. Unlike other MIB tables which have
the index as an element, the diffServDataPathTable doesnt have ifIndex
as an entry.  My question is why is ifIndex included as an index though it
is not one of the elements of the table?

    Hello,

     I would like talk about DiffServ over ATM simulation in NS. My work
is about mapping DiffServ to ATM and I don't know ATM implementation  for
ns-2.1b6 (version in use here). Is there somebody work with this
subject?

    Regards.

Bruce, et al,
I have another comment on your draft. I did make this comment
to you before you wrote the draft, so I'd assumed it was
included. There was a clause in rfc2598 that was required
by the WG by consensus (this did not come from the orignal
3 authors) that is in section 2, paragraph 2:


  "If the EF PHB is implemented by a mechanism that allows unlimited
   preemption of other traffic (e.g., a priority queue), the
   implementation MUST include some means to limit the damage EF traffic
   could inflict on other traffic (e.g., a token bucket rate limiter).
   Traffic that exceeds this limit MUST be discarded. This maximum EF
   rate, and burst size if appropriate, MUST be settable by a network
   administrator (using whatever mechanism the node supports for non-
   volatile configuration). The minimum and maximum rates may be the
   same and configured by a single parameter."

You draft states in section 2.10:

   "If the EF PHB is implemented by a mechanism that allows unlimited
   preemption of other traffic (e.g., a priority queue), the
   implementation SHOULD include some means to limit the damage EF
   traffic could inflict on other traffic. This will be reflected in the
   range of supported R values as described in section 2.2."

You will note that the MUST was downgraded to a SHOULD. As WG co-chair,
I am quite certain there was no call for consensus on this change.
On the other hand, I know that we had a clear consensus to
develop the new per-hop behavior you describe and to call it the
EF PHB, so perhaps it's reasonable to assume that this should
include a change of the above clause (which was argued for
quite strongly by several parties during the writing of 2598).
Still, I believe it should be made clear that, in addition to
a change in the definition of the packet treatment at each
hop, there is a change in some of the required protections,
etc. If this is the consensus of the WG, we can certainly go
this route.

	Kathie

I don't especially care. They need to have the same effect as if the 
ingress diff-serv configuration was applied, forwarding occurred, and then 
the egress diff-serv configuration was applied. That is by no means the way 
it has to be implemented - one could easily imagine implementing the three 
steps in parallel engines, for example. But it should be indistinguishable 
from that, externally.

For example: suppose that you are a service provider. You have a contract 
with customer A that it may send you at most some amount of AF11 traffic, 
and that you will remark any excess as AF12. You also have a contract with 
customer B that, on traffic to it, you will apply certain RED 
characteristics to AF11 traffic in a certain queue and certain other RED 
characteristics (a lower min-threshold) to AF12 traffic. And let's further 
suppose that customers A and B are both serviced from the same router. One 
would expect that customer B might be receiving AF1 traffic from a large 
number of customers, not just from customer A. Likewise, one would expect 
that the ingress configuration for customer A would apply only to its 
traffic; you're not going to commingle traffic from other customers into 
that ingress policy. And the fact that it went through the ingress 
configuration may very well mean that something received as AF11 must be 
remarked, queued, and randomly dropped according to customer B's AF12 
rules. What you have to implement is that correct accounting and correct 
application of policy; to do otherwise would not correctly implement the SLAs.

Hi
I was wondering what happened with the virtual pdb and where i can find the discussion carried about it.

Thank you

Hi all,

I perceive (maybe incorrectly) the eclosed message as a call for the 
consensus opinion of the WG on the subject.

Personally I think that the clause on protection of the non-EF traffic from 
the possible over-expansion of the EF one should retain its MUST status in 
the new RFC version. Otherwise we could, as an extreme example, experience 
problems with the routing protocols which are definitely non-EF but should 
run properly in any (Diffserv-aware pr not)network no ensure its proper 
operation.

With best regards,
Sasha Vainshtein

I think my intent was a call for discussion that would
proceed a call for consensus. But I think we can keep track of 
those who express an opinion in this stage for the consensus
stage. 

Thanks for you opinion and for making me be more specific about
the intent!

Brian,

We're trying to provide for management-tool interoperability aren't we?
(that's different from Diffserv interoperability). Seems like the management
standard is incomplete (and therefore almost worse than having no standard)
if you don't handle this issue. But I'm not going to push this one - if
people don't want to complete the spec then ... like ... whatever.

Andrew

Andrew,

Why? I don't understand why we would want to standardise this. I understand
why we want to describe it in an informational document, but what's
the IETF interoperability problem if people choose to implement screwy
datapaths inside their boxes?

Kathie,
 It really wasn't my intent to re-open an issue on which consensus had
previously been reached, and I honestly don't recall your earlier comment.
So I'd be quite happy to revert to the MUST (and I polled a bunch of my
co-authors who concur). Given that the surrounding text for the paragraph in
question is a little different than it was in RFC2598, I would propose that
it should now read:

   "If the EF PHB is implemented by a mechanism that allows unlimited
    preemption of other traffic (e.g., a priority queue), the
    implementation MUST include some means to limit the damage EF traffic
    could inflict on other traffic (e.g., a token bucket rate limiter).
Traffic
    that exceeds this limit MUST be discarded. This maximum EF rate, and
burst
    size if  appropriate, MUST be settable by a network administrator (using
    whatever mechanism the node supports for non-volatile configuration)."

The last time this (the existence of the TCB) was raised there were
opinions on both sides, and we concluded that there was a weak consensus
to leave it in the model, but no consensus to instantiate it in the MIB. If 
I recall correctly that was in the San Diego meeting that you missed. So what 
I am trying to arrange is that the MIB and model drafts are compatible with
that, and with the fact that the model is not a standards track document.

Bruce,

I directed you to the relevant section of RFC 2598 when you
were meeting with Brian and Scott and I in SD and I'd thought
you were taking notes. At that time, you didn't have a "protection
clause" in your draft. Thus I thought the change of MUST to
SHOULD indicated that you wished to propose this approach. The point 
is that Brian and I believe the the earlier WG consensus on this
was forceful and applied to any PHB that could potentially starve
other traffic. Since you are reverting to the earlier WG consensus,
I think we can declare this a non-issue.

Thanks for your attention to the wording.

	Kathie

I am currently comparing different methods of congestion notification,
especially ECN. In order to progress in this work I need to understand
the following  point.

If a host sends data via TCP using  the bit URG (urgent mode) , the packet
is 
then carried by IP along the path . My question, is how is the competition
between
this urgent packet and a packet that belongs to EF class ?

Is the urgent packet also encapsulated in EF class or is this urgent packet 
all the time out of band and first served ?

I believe the second is more logical but I must be sure and formal.

Please if someone can reply or suggest me some specific links about this.

Thanks 

Kamel

Kamel:
TCP's urgent mode has nothing to do with how
the packet is routed/treated along the way.
TCP is layer 4 protocol and routers typically
do not deal with layer 4 headers.
The TCP urgent mode is used to notify the
receiving TCP entity (transport receiver)that
an urgent data has been placed into the data stream,
and it is up to the transport receiver what to do
with it (e.g., go and read the urgent data directly,
skipping everything else in the stream). 
It is most commonly used in Telnet/Rlogin
(when the user types the interrupt key) and
FTP (when the user aborts the transfer)applications.
I hope this helps.

Hi,

Let's assume an implementation that uses the physical layer for shaping
and no shaping parameters configuration is actually needed.

The MIB mentions that a ZeroDotZero is an illegal configuration.
Why does the MIB obligate the diffServQShaper?

Regards,
Yossi Barsheshet.

If you're using the physical layer to take care of QoS issues, such as
jitter control or what have you, then why do you need Diffserv or its MIB?
For example, you could use an ATM backbone with ATM techniques to achieve
your QoS requirements, in which case the diffserv queues would not be an
issue.

To go a bit beyond that, ATM is, or certainly was, looking at implementing
diffserv over UBR, in which case the diffserv shapers would certainly be
required there as well.

That would be my answer. (Brian will suggest this be moved over to
diffserv-interest.)

Hi,
     My name is Anand Kumar Venkatesan and I'm a graduate student with
Colorado State University and trying to specialise in the field of
networking.I wish to know what the following term means and where can I
get some technical stuff to know more about.
"Quantify the performance of Diff Serv on switches/routers".
           I would appreciate any help that wouyld enlighten me about
the above issue ASAP.


your's
Anand

To be clear, a packet that happens to have the urgent bit set
will inherit *exactly* the same diffserv treatment as any other
packet that is selected by the same MF classifier. In practice
that means it will get the same treatment as any other packet in 
the same TCP session, since it will have the same addresses,
protocol tpe, and port numbers.

Hi,

This is the list for diffserv standardisation. For this level of question,
I would recommend a textbook such as "Internet Performance Survival Guide"
by Geoff Huston.

Hello Anand:

I would suggest you to get fimilar with diffserv RFC/Internet Draft. But 
you go through that I would suggest you to read "HIGH SPEED NETWORKS BY
STALLINGS if you can acces that to get the basics.

I will sharpen my question,

In an implementation that doesn't use a shaper to shape or to limit the data
rate, the maximum data rate will be limited by the physical interface itself
(for example, UTOPIA interface for ATM, POS-PHY for packets over sonet,
etc.).

In absence of shaper, the configuration parameters for the shaper are not
needed.
The MIB mentions that a ZeroDotZero is an illegal configuration.
What should be configured in such scenario to fulfill the diffServQShaper
MIB ?
Why the MIB obligate diffServQShaper ?

If you're using the physical layer to take care of QoS issues, such as
jitter control or what have you, then why do you need Diffserv or its MIB?
For example, you could use an ATM backbone with ATM techniques to achieve
your QoS requirements, in which case the diffserv queues would not be an
issue.

To go a bit beyond that, ATM is, or certainly was, looking at implementing
diffserv over UBR, in which case the diffserv shapers would certainly be
required there as well.

That would be my answer. (Brian will suggest this be moved over to
diffserv-interest.)

Sami, I can explain  little bit more .

First, My mail was quite clear and I don't say that
TCP is other than  layer 4.  Then, I also know that routing is layer 
3 protocol. Perhaps it's a minimum people should know before sending 
a question in this maillist.

My question was not so naive, and since I am working with 
Douglas Comer TCP/IP book it's also possible that I know how 
Urgent TCP DATA work .

Out of this, in this same book (chapter that describes TCP), it is said that
"The program that receives urgent data, must receives them as fast as is
possible."

Now, you understand why I was wondering about the competition between urgent
data
encapsulated  in IP datagrams  and other data  signalled in EF class.

What is said by Brian seems to be  realistic and logical.


Thanks for your help

For the case you describe, I suppose you would configure a shaper with 
diffServShapingRateAbs set to zero. This effectively amounts to a
null shaper, but without inserting a null pointer in the MIB.

diffServShapingRateAbs OBJECT-TYPE                                        |
    SYNTAX       Unsigned32                                               |
    UNITS        "kilobits per second"
    MAX-ACCESS   read-create
    STATUS       current
    DESCRIPTION
       "The maximum rate in kilobits/sec that a downstream scheduler
       element should allocate to this queue. If the value is zero, then
       there is effectively no maximum rate limit and that the scheduler
       should attempt to be work-conserving for this queue...."

Kamel:

I did not mean to offend you by describing the layers
and how TCP urgent data works. I was just trying to
clarify the issues. The following is quoted from
your original email:

   "My question, is how is the competition between this 
    urgent packet and a packet that belongs to EF class ?
    Is the urgent packet also encapsulated in EF class or is this 
    urgent packet all the time out of band and first served ?"

If you know that routers do not deal with layer 4 headers
how are they going to know whether the URG bit is set or not
so that they can serve these packets (by your definition)
"out of band and first"? You are talking about competition
between EF packets and packets with TCP URG bit set. How is
this possible? 

Once the packets are in the core, the only competition/differentiation
is between different PHBs/PSCs. At the edge of the network, a classifier
determines what packet is marked with what DSCP based on the 6-tuple
classifier which does not include the TCP URG bit (at least not today).
Therefore, if a TCP flow happens to be marked with EF, then all
the packets in that TCP stream will be marked EF including the ones
with URG bit set.

One more point, TCP's urgent mode should NOT be called out-of-band data.
If you need to send out-of-band data, you need to create a separate
TCP connection. For more information see:
TCP/IP Illustrated, Vol 1 by Richard Stevens, Section 20.8 (pp 292-293).

--Sami

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Differentiated Services Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: New Terminology for Diffserv
	Author(s)	: D. Grossman
	Filename	: draft-ietf-diffserv-new-terms-04.txt
	Pages		: 8
	Date		: 29-Mar-01
	
This memo captures Diffserv working group agreements concerning new
and improved terminology. It is intended as a living document for use
by the Diffserv working group, and especially for use of authors of
Diffserv drafts.  It is expected that the terminology in this memo
will be incorporated into the existing Diffserv RFCs when they are
updated.

A URL for this Internet-Draft is:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-diffserv-new-terms-04.txt

Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username
"anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in,
type "cd internet-drafts" and then
	"get draft-ietf-diffserv-new-terms-04.txt".

A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in
http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html 
or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt


Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.

Send a message to:
	mailserv@ietf.org.
In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-diffserv-new-terms-04.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.

new *or* improved, surely?

I think 'new, improved, or just changed' sums it up better.

It may be outside the scope of this WG, since we might be dealing
with implementation here, but does anyone see any problem or issues 
with expanding MF classification in a DS node to also include the TCP
URG and ACK flags?

Comments and opinions welcome.

Including URG would need careful thought. URG is not out of band 
data, it's an indication that there's something urgent later on in 
the in-band stream. So the goal would be to get the whole stream to 
the receiver faster. Pulling URG-flagged packets into a different 
PHB, and thus likely delivering them out of order, might make the 
situation worse by triggering congestion control and retransmissions.

That was what I expected, and that being so it does seem more
like a topic for e2e-interest than this list.

Could someone inform me of how the PDB activities occuring the the DiffServ
working group or related to (or not related to) the SLS Internet Drafts such
as "Service Level Specification Semantics and Parameters". I have only just
recently been tracking the workgroup but intuitively it appears that the
objectives may be somehat overlapping. If not I an intereseted in if there
has been some formalism established regarding how the two activities relate
to each other.

In "Service Level Specfication and Usage Framework", by Yves T' Jones et.
al. it states that "The specification of SLSs is out of the scope of the
DiffServ WG. The definition of PDB's could however have an impact on the SLS
definition.... It is important to keep in mind that in general the PDB
definitions and their attributes are not expected to be directly visible to
customers at the SLS level".

This distinction is somewhat perplexing to me since it is not clear why the
PDB can not be itself be used instead of the SLS formalism specified in
those references. Can somewhat help me out with the formalism in how the two
transport domain level specifications are intended to coexist.

Hi

It appears that the Virtual Wire PDB draft can no longer be found in the
Internet Drafts. Has it been removed?

On another note, I retract my last message regarding PDBs/SLSs. The relation
between SLSs and PDBs is clear in the AF PDB draft. However, there could
stand to be more discussion on the that relationship in the SLS Internet
Drafts (e.g. "Service Specification and Usage Framework"). But thats a
different mailing list.
