Dear Dr. Gorry Fairhurst,

Sorry for the late reply. I hope you are okay with the inlined reply.

Oh I see. What are the financial implications for approach a and b? I 
assume that b is harder and may take longer to get approval.
1) I think b is more desirable since it applicable for ULE/GSE and UDLR.

2) If getting a EtherType from IEEE is not feasible, then we may need to 
resort to change the format of the ULE payload to accommodate the source 
address if necessary.

3) Yes, the ideal case is to get IEEE EtherType for ROHC, so that it can 
be used for Bridged Frame (Type = 0x0001).

4) Yeap, so it can't get work without IEEE EtherType.

5) I'm not sure whether I get your point correctly. Referring to section 
4.5, there is no point of using ROHC in multicast and broadcast. So it 
only make sense in unicast. But since the IPv4/IPv6 header is 
compressed, the receiver needs to distinguish its packet from others by 
looking at the Destination Address in the case where multiple receivers 
share the link. Is that your concern?

6) Yes, you are right. The idea is to save 2 - 3 bytes for each ROHC 
compressed packet. But if the amount of effort involved does not worth 
it, we can drop this.  The whole idea is that is to let compressor site 
selects a PID as a unique channel between itself and a particular 
receiver. Of course, the advantage is more obvious if source and 
destination L2 addresses need to be included. By mapping a PID to a pair 
  of source and destination address, 12 bytes can saved per ROHC 
compressed packet.  But ROHC over ULE can also work in this manner.

A late OPSDIR review flagged some places where the guidance could be 
tightened (a few paragraphs of rewording and one minor change to the 
spec - require padding of unused  low-order time stamp bits with zero's 
in section 3.3).

I've spoken to Bernhard (co-author) and Martin (as Shepherd) and we
think two changes are appropriate. If anyone on this list has concerns 
about the proposed changes please *DO* tell us. All issues need to be 
received by Thursday 20th March 2008.

Best wishes,

Gorry Fairhurst
(as WG Chair)

----------- Proposed Change note ----------

Section 3.1:

OLD:
  "This document does not specify how TS Packets are to be
  handled at the Receiver, however it notes that a poorly
  configured Encapsulator could lead to a Multiplex carrying
  multiple (possibly conflicting) sets of TS Logical Channels
  and SI information encapsulated at different levels or with
  different NPA addresses. The need for  consistency in the use
  of PIDs and the related SI information is described in
  section 4.2 of [RFC4947]."

NEW:
  "This document does not specify how TS Packets are to be
  handled at the Receiver. However, it notes:

  * A Receiver needs to consistently associate all TS Packets
  in a Stream with one TS Logical Channel (Stream). If an
  Encapsulator transmits more than one Stream of TS Packets
  each encapsulated at a different level or with a different
  NPA address, a Receiver needs to ensure that each is
  independently demultiplexed as a separate Stream (Section 3.2
  [RFC4259]).

  * If an Encapsulator transmits service information
  encapsulated at different levels or with different NPA
  addresses, the Receivers need to ensure each Stream is related
  to the corresponding SI table information (if any). A
  RECOMMENDED  way to reduce signaling interactions is to ensure
  each PID value uniquely identifies a Stream within a TS
  Multiplex carrying ULE and also any TS Packets encapsulated
  by a ULE/GSE Stream.

  The need for consistency in the use of PIDs and the related
  service information is described in section 4.2 of [RFC4947]."

---
In Section 3.3

OLD:
  "may use an arbitrary (and varying) value to pad the unused
  least-significant bits."

NEW:
  "MUST pad the unused least-significant bits with a value of zero."

--- end of change note

Dear Dr. Fairhurst,

Here is updated version according your previous feedback, but still 
incomplete. I removed the section that carries ROHC compressed packet 
directly over MPEG2-TS. So, what works for ULE should also work for GSE 
except for section 4.1.4.1.1 which relies on MPEG2-TS.

In addition to 2 new ULE type, we also need to have a new EtherType for 
section 3.1.2. If getting new EtherType is hard, we may need to redefine 
the packet format.

As for your previous comment:
 > 2) In Section 3.1.1:

I'm not sure what you meant exactly. I refer to figure 11 of RFC4326 and 
  the Receiver Destination NPA address field seems redundant since MAC 
destination address is there. Any practical scenario where Receiver 
Destination needs to be different from MAC destination address?


Diagrams has been changed to conform with the style used by RFC4326, but 
  style of diagram 4, 5, 6 and 7 is left untouched since it is difficult 
to represent variable format imposed by medium information using the 
former style.

Thank you.

Regards,
Ang Way Chuang

   TS

      Transport stream (TS) is a format specified in MPEG-2 Part 1,
      Systems (ISO/IEC standard 13818-1).  Its design goal is to allow
      multiplexing of digital video and audio and to synchronize the
      output.  Transport stream offers features for error correction for
      transportation over unreliable media, and is used in broadcast
      applications such as DVB and ATSC.

   ULE stream

      An MPEG-2 TS Logical Channel that carries only ULE encapsulated
      PDUs.  ULE streams may be identified by definition of a
      stream_type in SI/PSI [ISO-MPEG2].

   ROHC

      Robust Header Compression.  A framework of compression headers of
      IP packet as defined in [RFC3095].

   ROHC channel

      A logical unidirectional point-to-point channel carrying ROHC
      packets from one compressor to one decompressor, optionally
      carrying ROHC feedback information on the behalf of another
      compressor-decompressor pair operating on a separate ROHC channel
      in the opposite direction.

   ROHC profile

      A logical unidirectional point-to-point channel carrying ROHC
      packets from one compressor to one decompressor, optionally
      carrying ROHC feedback information on the behalf of another
      compressor-decompressor pair operating on a separate ROHC channel
      in the opposite direction.

   MRRU

      Maximum Reconstructed Reception Unit as defined in [RFC3095].

   Context Identifier

      [RFC3095] provides a definition for context identifiers.

3.  Packet Format of ROHC Packet

   This section briefly describes the notation used in all diagrams. ":"
   in a diagram indicates that the part is optional.  Likewise, "=" in a
   diagram indicates the number of octets by the part is not presented
   in a precise manner.  This situation appears when a field or part
   spans multiple or variable number of bytes.

   The packet format for ROHC compressed packet encapsulated within ULE
   can be in one the following two formats:

     Figure 1: ROHC compressed packet encapsulated using dedicated ULE
                                   type

   The semantics of D-bit, Length, Type, Destination Address and CRC-32
   fields are defined in section 4 of [RFC 4326].  However, the Type
   fields requires a new IANA assigned ULE type value to indicate the
   presence of ROHC compressed packet in PDU.

   In the absence of multiple receivers, a transmitter can send an SNDU
   without Destination Address Field (D bit marked).  However, when
   multiple receivers are listening to the same transmitter, destination
   address must be included in SNDU.

   needs to be assigned for this.

4.  Establishing ROHC Channel

   This standard presents two approaches to setup a ROHC channel over a
   DVB link.  The first approach is to setup ROHC channel manually.
   This requires that the operators at the every transmitters and
   receivers to manually configure the ROHC channel parameters.  When
   the size of network is small, this approach is favourable.

   But the former approach becomes nonviable if the network is dynamic
   and is not scalable as the size of the network grows.  Henceforth, we
   present a negotiation protocol to create ROHC channel in the next
   section.

4.1.  ROHC Channel Parameters Negotiation Protocol (RCPNP)

   The approach presented in this section can only work if compressor
   site and decompressor site are connected through two dedicated
   unidirectional DVB links, with a unidirectional link originating from
   each of the sites, configured to form a bidirectional network link
   between the two sites.  This protocol works through ULE packets only.
   It is possible to extend this protocol to work over Generic Stream
   Encapsulation [GSE] in the future.  While it is possible to extend
   this protocol to work over asymmetrical link, this draft doesn't try
   to address this issue.  Since new EtherType can be allocated, this
   protocol can be extended to asymmetrical link via Link-Layer
   Tunneling Mechanism [RFC3077] with little modifications.

   The basic format of a ULE SNDU packet for RCPNP message is as such:

   Body

      This field is not present in this message.

   This message is used by the compressor site to advertise the
   availability of ROHC Compressor.  Out of concern for bandwidth and
   energy consumption, compressor site should limit the broadcast of
   this message for a few times when it first joins the network.  This
   message should also be broadcasted when a Compressor Solicitation
   message is received.  The decompressor site will use the value
   specified in the Source Address field when addressing compressor
   site.

4.1.2.  Compressor Solicitation

   Operation Code

      The value is 1.

                     Figure 5: Format of Reply message

   The fields shown in the figure above collectively form the Body field
   of a Reply message.  This message is sent by compressor site to
   decompressor site in response to a Request message sent by
   decompressor site.  The meaning of each fields in the message are
   described below:

   Operation Code

      Not shown in the diagram, but this field carries the value of 3.

   MRRU

      Maximum Reconstructed Reception Unit tolerated by compressor.
      Decompressor site should send a NACK if it is receives higher MRRU
      than what it requested.

Internet-Draft     ROHC over ULE and MPEG-2 TS frames         March 2008


   Maximum CID

      Maximum CID tolerated by compressor.  This value of this field
      should be less than or equal to its counterpart in Request
      message.  Decompressor site should send a NACK if it receives
      Maximum CID that is higher than the initial negotiated value.

   Number of profile IDs

      Note that this field occupies 1 octet instead of 2 because there
      can be only 256 active profiles at any given ROHC channel.
      Decompressor site should send a NACK if it receives more profile
      IDs than it can support.  FIXME: Add more notes here.

   Profile IDs

      Profile Identifiers of the ROHC profiles that will be used for the
      negotiated ROHC channel.  Decompressor site should send a NACK if
      it receives any profile ID that it doesn't support.

4.1.4.1.  Medium Information

   The following notation depicted in the previous figure 10 indicates
   the presence of medium information.

   +===============================================+

   Medium information conveys how compressor is to send ROHC compressed
   packets to decompressor over ULE packets.  The details of packet
   format for ROHC over ULE are described in section 3.  Medium type is
   conveyed by Medium field.  Other media may be supported in the future
   and the support for these media will specified in other documents.
   Decompressor receiving unsupported medium type should send a NACK.
   When an unrecognized medium type is received, decompressor site
   should send a NACK message to compressor.

   PID

      Packet Identifier of MPEG2-TS frames that will carry ROHC
      compressed packet.

   This approach should only be used when the current negotiating PID
   channel of MPEG2-TS is shared by multiple senders and receivers and
   the need to shave off the destination and source addresses from each
   ULE packet at the cost of using additional PID is reasonable.  It is
   pointless to use this approach the PID channel of MPEG2-TS is only
   used for Point to Point communication between a sender and a receiver
   where there is no need to send source and destination addresses.  For
   such case, compressor site should opt the approach mentioned in the
   next section.

   Type:

   0

      No MAC address will be sent in ULE packets.  This option should
      only be used if the compressor site is certain that there is only
      one receiver and one transmitter over DVB link.  This is similar
      to what is mentioned in section Section 4.1.4.1.1, but without the
      cost of additional PID channel.

   1

      Only destination MAC address will be sent in ULE packets that
      carry ROHC compressed packet.  This means that Destination Absent
      bit in ULE header will be cleared.  This option is used only if
      there is one transmitter and many receivers listening to that
      transmitter via DVB link.

      ROHC packets will be encapsulated in Ethernet bridged frame.  This
      option is used when there multiple transmitters and receivers over
      a DVB link.

      Not used.  Receiver should treat it as corrupted packet, silently
      discard the message and wait for a valid Reply message or until a
      timeout occur at which the decompressor site will start the
      negotiation afresh by sending a Request message.

   Reserved field is not used and should be ignored.

4.1.5.  Acknowledgement/Negative Acknowledgement

   Operation Code

      The value is 4.

   X

      If this bit is set, this message is an acknowledgement.
      Otherwise, it is a negative acknowledgement.

   Body

      This field is not present in this message.

   Decompressor site should send either an acknowledgement or negative
   acknowledgement if it receives a valid Reply message.  If compressor
   site doesn't receive ACK nor NACK within a reasonable interval, it
   should discard any information of negotiated ROHC channel parameters.
   An acknowledgement must be sent to decompressor site when compressor
   site receives Decompressor Shutdown message.

4.1.6.  Compressor Shutdown

   Operation Code

      The value is 5.

   Body

      This field is not present in this message.

   This message is sent by the compressor site to notify the
   decompressor site that it is about to stop compressing IP packets.
   Upon receiving this message, decompressor should release all

   resources that are being held for decompression.

   Compressor must wait for an acknowledgement from decompressor site
   before freeing its resource.  If it doesn't receive an
   acknowledgement within a reasonable interval, it should keep sending
   a shutdown message for a number of times before freeing its resource.

4.1.7.  Decompressor Shutdown

   Operation Code

      The value is 6.

   Body

      This field is not present in this message.

   This message is sent by the decompressor site to notify the
   compressor that it is about to stop decompressing IP packets.  Upon
   receiving this message, compressor should release all resources that
   are being held and stop sending compressed IP packets.

   Decompressor must wait for an acknowledgement from compressor site
   before freeing its resource.  If it doesn't receive an
   acknowledgement within a reasonable interval, it should keep sending
   a shutdown message for a number of times before freeing its resource.

5.  Bidirectional ROHC Channels

   While establishing bidirectional ROHC channels allows for the use of
   ROHC bidirectional optimistic mode and bidirectional reliable mode,
   RCPNP doesn't concern itself with the establishment of bidirectional
   ROHC channels.  Therefore, it is up to implementers of this protocol
   to support bidirectional ROHC channels.  The implementation should be
   as straightforward as mapping correct pair of ROHC channels.

Hello,

 

We're in the process of defining a system that will use GSE.

 

We are looking at cases that are ambiguous in the GSE specification. One
such case is how to deal with zero length PDUs. It's possible, though
probably not advisable, for an encapsulator to send such a packet.

 

Any advice on how to handle this case?

 

Thanks,

Hello,

 

We are defining a system which will carry DOCSIS frames over GSE. We would
like to extend the GSE/ULE specifications in a compliant way.

 

Does anyone have advice about how to proceed?

 

Thank you,

maybe I am missing the point, but what would be the benefit of carrying
DOCSIS frames over GSE instead of sending the PDU via GSE only? I do see
only management/signalling reasons but did not catch its value yet.

> Does anyone have advice about how to proceed?

I see two fast tracks:
1. apply for an EtherType value that would allow to send DOCSIS frames
also over any "Ethernet" and bridge it accordingly over GSE (that could
provide some added value for the interconnection of DOCSIS-modem and
GSE-encapsulator but adds bridging overhead)
2. go for an (ULE/)GSE mandatory extension header I-D and have a
Extension Header (carrying DOCSIS frames) value being assigned therefor
(less overhead but also less and maby too little functionality)

on one side a zero length PDU (interpreted as having a valid protocol
header but empty payload) is not a "problem" for GSE rather than the
upper layer protocol(s) that handles the PDU. As long as the
GSE-Protocol-Type field is valid it will pass this "problem" to the
upper layer indicated by Protocol-Type.

On the other side (interpreting zero length PDU as having no header at
all) GSE would need a special Protocol-Type value to support transport
of it (nothing?). Currently only the test-extension-header (see RFC
4326, 5.1) could support this, but would prevent a receiver from
forwarding this (non-existing) data...

> Any advice on how to handle this case?

Combining this with your next question (DOCSIS over GSE) I would assume
that signalling is being carried in DOCSIS frames (as GSE PDUs) that
have only a header but no payload, in what case the first of above
options should work.

Thanks,

See in-line for a clarification, and some suggestions on formatting.

Best wishes,

There could be - when the receiver is an Ethernet Bridge and this is 
feeding a local area network. In the case in Figure 11, the NPA address 
is the address of the receiver itself. This topology resembles that of 
Metro-Ethernet - where Ethernet frames are bridged between two or more 
attached LANs using a L2 network. The NPA addresses are local only to 
the DVB/MPEG network and used to construct the "virtual" transmission 
network.

The abstract should state the name of the specification it is extendin 
in full, hence:

  " This document describes a set of Extension Headers for the
    Unidirectional Lightweight Encapsulation (ULE), RFC4326."

---

You may also wish to define:
    B: Byte. Groups of bytes are represented in Internet byte order.


    Next-Header: A Type value indicating an Extension Header [RFC4326].

    NPA: Network Point of Attachment [RFC4326]. In this document, refers
    to a destination address (resembling an IEEE MAC address) within the
    DVB-S/S2 transmission network that is used to identify individual
    Receivers or groups of Receivers.

    ULE: Unidirectional Lightweight Encapsulation (ULE) [RFC4326]. A
    method that encapsulates PDUs into SNDUs that are sent in a series
    of TS Packets using a single TS Logical Channel. The encapsulation
    defines an extension format and an associated IANA Registry.


---


I suggest rewriting the IANA section, so that reads something like the 
following. This is the form of words we used in previous IANA requests.

    This document requires IANA involvement for the assignment of two
    new Next-Header Type values from the IANA ULE Next-Header Registry.

    The following assignments have been made in this document, and
    registered by IANA:

    XXX NOTE: IANA please replace TBD and TBD-1 when assigned XXX

          Type      Name                             Reference

          TBD:      ULE-ROHC                        Section 3.1
          TBD-1:    ULE-ROHC-Neg                    Section 4.1


    The ULE-ROHC Extension is a Mandatory next-type Extension Header,
    specified in section 3.1 of this document. The value of this next-
    header is defined by an IANA assigned H-Type value of TBD.

    The ULE-ROHC-Neg Extension is a Mandatory next-type Extension Header
    specified in section 4.1 of this document. The value of this next-
    header is defined by an IANA assigned H-Type value of TBD-1.
