Hello all,
    I have few doubts as well as suggestions for the current version of this draft.
Please go through them and let me know your comments.

1.  Following object identifiers have "null" description clause in the draft
        a. isisSystem
        b. isisCirc
        c. isisIsAdj
        d  isisReachAddr
        e. isisIPReachAddr
        f. isisIPDest
                   Normally description clauses are not null. So either descriptions
can be added to them. (The descriptions are already there in the draft before the
start of the mib module.) or we can have just something like this.

e.g
        isisSystem   OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {isis 1 }
       isisCirc  OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { isis 2 }
etc.

2.  At present, type TOS  is defined as follows.

  TOS ::= INTEGER
                 {
                     default(1),
                     delay(2),
                     expense(3),
                     error(4)
                  }

 This could also have been a  TEXTUAL-CONVENTION instead INTEGER.
The same thing applies to type 'PathCost.' Am I missing something ?

3.  For all of the following tables in the MIB, one of the indices of the table  identifies
the instance of Integrated IS-IS to which the particular row corresponds.

Tables of interest are
    a. isisSysTable
    b. isis isisManAreaAddrTable
    c. isisAreaAddrTable
    d. isisSysProtSuppTable
    e. isisSummAddrTable

            Instead of each of these tables defining one object which acts as an index
to identify the same thing (i.e instance of Integrated IS-IS), only one table can (say
isisSysTable) define the object  to identify the instance of the integrated IS-IS.
Presently the object which identifies the instance of  Integrated IS-IS in "isisSysTable" is
"isisSysInstance". All other tables can use this object as an index(external indexing )
instead of defining their own object to serve the same purpose. Also by  using the same
object for indexing  for all the tables consistency is maintained across the tables to
identify the instance of Integrated IS-IS.

4. ResettingTimer behaviour definition
        The description there applies to objects who follow ResettingTimer  behaviour.
Defining TEXTUAL-CONVENTION can be better
way of  documenting the behaviour provided it is possible. I suppose this
is not possible here. Same thing applies to  "OperationalState behaviour definition".
    Also definition of  these behaviours use the phrase "This object". I feel
it would have been more appropriate to use the phrase "objects following this
behaviour".


5. The description clause of many objects refer to "replaceOnlyWhile
    Disabled behaviour". But  I was not able to find documentation for
this behaviour in the draft.

6. Description clause of  few objects is not very clear.
    e.g  for "isisSysPartChanges" it is
            DESCRIPTION
                 "partition changes".
        The above description  not really indicates what aspect of  "partition changes"
is being managed by this object ?

                        I might me missing something in above doubts. So please
enlighten me with the same.

Thanks
Rathi

1.0 Abstract

   This document describes extensions to the IS-IS protocol to support
   Traffic Engineering [1].  The IS-IS protocol is specified in [2],
   with extensions for supporting IPv4 specified in [3].

   This document extends the IS-IS protocol by specifying new
   information that a Intermediate System (IS) [router] can place in
   Link State Protocol Data Units (LSPs).  This information describes
   additional information about the state of the network that is useful
   for traffic engineering computations.


2.0 Introduction

   An IS-IS LSP is composed of a fixed header and a number of tuples,
   each consisting of a Type, a Length, and a Value.  Such tuples are
   commonly known as TLVs, and are a good way of encoding information in
   a flexible and extensible format.

   The changes in this document include the design of new TLVs to
   replace the existing IS Neighbor TLV, IP Reachability TLV and add
   additional information.  Mechanisms and procedures to migrate to the
   new TLVs are not discussed in this document.

   The primary goal of these extensions is to add more information about
   the characteristics of a particular link to an IS-IS's LSP.
   Secondary goals include increasing the dynamic range of the IS-IS
   metric and improving the encoding of IP prefixes.  The router id is
   useful for traffic engineering purposes because it describes a single
   address that can always be used to reference a particular router.

   This document is a publication of the IS-IS Working Group within the
   IETF, and is a contribution to ISO IEC JTC1/SC6, for eventual
   inclusion with ISO 10589.


3.0 The Traffic Engineering router ID TLV


   The Traffic Engineering router ID TLV is TLV type 134.

   The router ID TLV contains the 4-octet router ID of the router
   originating the LSP.  This is useful in several regards:

   For traffic engineering, it guarantees that we have a single stable
   address that can always be referenced in a path that will be
   reachable from multiple hops away, regardless of the state of the
   node's interfaces.

   If OSPF is also active in the domain, traffic engineering can compute
   the mapping between the OSPF and IS-IS topologies.

   If a router advertises the Traffic Engineering router ID TLV in its
   LSP, and if it advertises BGP routes with the BGP next hop attribute
   set to the BGP router ID, in that case the Traffic Engineering router
   ID should be the same as the BGP router ID.

   Implementations MUST NOT inject a /32 prefix for the router ID into
   their forwarding table, because this can lead to forwarding loops
   when interacting with systems that do not support this TLV.


4.0 The extended IP reachability TLV


   The extended IP reachability TLV is TLV type 135.

   The existing IP reachability TLV is a single TLV that carries IP
   prefixes in a format that is analogous to the IS neighbor TLV.  It
   carries four metrics, of which only the default metric is commonly
   used.  Of this, the default metric has a possible range of 0-63.
   This limitation is one of the restrictions that we would like to
   lift.

   In addition, route redistribution (a.k.a. route leaking) is a key
   problem that is not addressed by the existing IP reachability TLV.
   This problem occurs when an IP prefix is injected into a level one
   area, redistributed into level 2, subsequently redistributed into a
   second level one area, and then redistributed from the second level
   one area back into level two.  This problem occurs because the path
   that the information can take forms a loop.  The likely result is a
   forwarding loop.

   To address these issues, the proposed extended IP reachability TLV
   provides for a 32 bit metric and adds one bit to indicate that a
   prefix has been redistributed 'down' in the hierarchy.

   The proposed extended IP reachability TLV contains a new data
   structure, consisting of:
        4 bytes of metric information
        1 byte of control information, consisting of
             1 bit of up/down information
             1 bit indicating the existence of sub-TLVs
             6 bits of prefix length
        0-4 bytes of IPv4 prefix
        0-250 optional octets of sub-TVLs, if present consisting of
             1 octet of length of sub-TLVs
             0-249 octets of sub-TLVs

   This data structure can be replicated within the TLV, not to exceed
   the maximum length of the TLV.

   The up/down bit shall be set to 0 when a prefix is first injected
   into IS-IS.  If a prefix is redistributed from a higher level to a
   lower level (e.g. level two to level one), the bit shall be set to 1,
   to indicate that the prefix has travelled down the hierarchy.
   Prefixes that have the up/down bit set to 1 must not be
   redistributed.  If a prefix is redistributed from an area to another
   area at the same level, then the up/down bit shall be set to 1.

   These semantics apply even if IS-IS is extended in the future to have
   additional levels.  By insuring that prefixes follow only the IS-IS
   hierarchy, we have insured that the information does not loop,
   thereby insuring that there are no persistent forwarding loops.

   If there are no sub-TLVs associated with this IP prefix, the bit
   indicating the presence of sub-TVLs shall be set to 0.  If this bit
   is set to 1, the first octet after the prefix will be interpreted as
   the length of sub-TLVs. Please note that while the encoding allows
   for 255 octets of sub-TLVs, the maximum value cannot fit in the
   overall extended IP reachability TLV. The practical maximum is 255
   octets minus the 5-9 octets described above, or 250 octets.  No sub-
   TLVs for the extended IP reachability TLV have been defined yet.

   The 6 bits of prefix length can have the values 0-32 and indicate the
   number of significant bits in the prefix.  The prefix is encoded in
   the minimal number of bytes for the given number of significant bits.
   This implies:

           Significant bits                Bytes
           0                               0
           1-8                             1
           9-16                            2
           17-24                           3
           25-32                           4

   The remaining bits of prefix are transmitted as zero and ignored upon
   receipt.

   If an IP prefix is advertised with a metric larger then
   MAX_PATH_METRIC (0xFE000000, see below), this IP prefix should not be
   considered during the normal SPF computation. This will allow
   advertisment of an IP prefix for other purposes than building the
   normal IP routing table.


5.0 The extended IS reachability TLV


   The extended IS reachability TLV is TLV type 22.

   The existing IS reachability TLV is a single TLV that contains
   information about a series of IS neighbors.  For each neighbor, there
   is a structure that contains the default metric, the delay, the
   monetary cost, the reliability, and the 7-octet ID of the adjacent
   neighbor.  Of this information, the default metric is commonly used.
   The default metric is currently one octet, with one bit used to
   indicate that the metric is present and one bit used to indicate
   whether the metric is internal or external.  The remaining 6 bits are
   used to store the actual metric, resulting a possible metric range of
   0-63.  This limitation is one of the restrictions that we would like
   to lift.

   The remaining three metrics (delay, monetary cost, and reliability)
   are not commonly implemented and reflect unused overhead in the TLV.
   The neighbor is identified by its system Id (typically 6-octets),
   plus one octet to indicate the pseudonode number if the neighbor is
   on a LAN interface.  Thus, the existing TLV consumes 11 octets per
   neighbor, with 4 octets for metric and 7 octets for neighbor
   identification.  To indicate multiple adjacencies, this structure is
   repeated within the IS reachability TLV.  Because the TLV is limited
   to 255 octets of content, a single TLV can describe up to 23
   neighbors.  The IS reachability TLV can be repeated within the LSP
   fragments to describe further neighbors.

   The proposed extended IS reachability TLV contains a new data
   structure, consisting of
        7 octets of system Id and pseudonode number
        3 octets of default metric
        1 octet of length of sub-TLVs
        0-244 octets of sub-TLVs

   Thus, if no sub-TLVs are used, the new encoding requires 11 octets
   and can contain up to 23 neighbors.  Please note that while the
   encoding allows for 255 octets of sub-TLVs, the maximum value cannot
   fit in the overall IS reachability TLV.  The practical maximum is 255
   octets minus the 11 octets described above, or 244 octets.  Further,
   there is no defined mechanism for extending the sub-TLV space for a
   particular neighbor.  Thus, wasting sub-TLV space is discouraged.

   The metric octets are encoded as a 24-bit unsigned integer. Note that
   the metric field in the new extended IP reachability TLV is encoded
   as a 32-bit unsigned integer. These different sizes were chosen so
   that it is very unlikely that the cost of an intra-area route has to
   be chopped off to fit in the metric field of an inter-area route.

   To preclude overflow within an SPF implementation, all metrics
   greater than or equal to MAX_PATH_METRIC shall be considered to have
   a metric of MAX_PATH_METRIC.  It is easiest to select MAX_PATH_METRIC
   such that MAX_PATH_METRIC plus a single link metric does not overflow
   the number of bits for internal metric calculation.  We assume that
   this is 32 bits.  Thus, MAX_PATH_METRIC is 4,261,412,864 (0xFE000000,
   2^32 - 2^25).

   If a link is advertised with the maximum link metric (2^24 - 1), this
   link should not be considered during the normal SPF computation.
   This will allow advertisment of a link for other purposes than
   building the normal Shortest Path Tree. An example is a link that is
   available for traffic engineering, but not for hop-by-hop routing.

   Certain sub-TLVs are proposed here:
           Sub-TLV type    Length (octets) Name
           3               4               Administrative group (color)
           6               4               IPv4 interface address
           8               4               IPv4 neighbor address
           11              32              Unreserved bandwidth
           18              3               TE Default metric

   Each of these sub-TLVs is described below.  Unless stated otherwise,
   multiple occurrences of the information are supported by multiple
   inclusions of the sub-TLV.


5.1 Sub-TLV 3: Administrative group (color, resource class)


   The administrative group sub-TLV contains a 4-octet bit mask assigned
   by the network administrator.  Each set bit corresponds to one
   administrative group assigned to the interface.

   By convention the least significant bit is referred to as 'group 0',
   and the most significant bit is referred to as 'group 31'.


5.2 Sub-TLV 6: IPv4 interface address


   This sub-TLV contains a 4-octet IPv4 address for the interface
   described by the (main) TLV.  This sub-TLV can occur multiple times.

   If the interface being advertised for Traffic Engineering purposes is
   unnumbered, the IPv4 interface address sub-TLV is set to the router
   ID of the advertising router. In combination with the IPv4 neighbor
   address sub-TLV this identifies the unnumbered link over which the
   advertised adjacency has been established.

   Implementations MUST NOT inject a /32 prefix for the interface
   address into their routing or forwarding table, because this can lead
   to forwarding loops when interacting with systems that do not support
   this sub-TLV.

   If a router implements the basic TLV extensions in this document, it
   is free to add or omit this sub-TLV to the description of an
   adjacency.  If a router implements traffic engineering, it must
   include this sub-TLV.


5.3 Sub-TLV 8: IPv4 neighbor address


   This sub-TLV contains a single IPv4 address for a neighboring router
   on this link.  This sub-TLV can occur multiple times.

   If the interface being advertised for Traffic Engineering purposes is
   unnumbered, the first two octets of the IPv4 neighbor address sub-TLV
   are set to zero and the next two octets are set to the interface ID
   of the unnumbered interface. In combination with the IPv4 interface
   address sub-TLV this identifies the unnumbered link over which the
   advertised adjacency has been established.

   Implementations MUST NOT inject a /32 prefix for the neighbor address
   into their routing or forwarding table, because this can lead to
   forwarding loops when interacting with systems that do not support
   this sub-TLV.

   If a router implements the basic TLV extensions in this document, it
   is free to add or omit this sub-TLV to the description of an
   adjacency.  If a router implements traffic engineering, it must
   include this sub-TLV on point-to-point adjacencies.


5.4 Sub-TLV 11: Unreserved bandwidth


   This sub-TLV contains the amount of bandwidth reservable on this
   direction on this link.  Note that for oversubscription purposes,
   this can be greater than the bandwidth of the link.

   Because of the need for priority and preemption, each head end needs
   to know the amount of reserved bandwidth at each priority level.
   Thus, this sub-TLV contains eight 32 bit IEEE floating point numbers.
   The units are bytes (not bits!) per second.  The values correspond to
   the bandwidth that can be reserved with a holding of priority 0
   through 7, arranged in increasing order with priority 0 occurring at
   the start of the sub-TLV, and priority 7 at the end of the sub-TLV.

   For stability reasons, rapid changes in the values in this sub-TLV
   should not cause rapid generation of LSPs.


5.5 Sub-TLV 18: Traffic Engineering Default metric


   This sub-TLV contains a 24-bit unsigned integer.  This metric is
   administratively assigned and can be used to present a differently
   weighted topology to traffic engineering SPF calculations.

   To preclude overflow within an SPF implementation, all metrics
   greater than or equal to MAX_PATH_METRIC shall be considered to have
   a metric of MAX_PATH_METRIC.  It is easiest to select MAX_PATH_METRIC
   such that MAX_PATH_METRIC plus a single link metric does not overflow
   the number of bits for internal metric calculation.  We assume that
   this is 32 bits.  Thus, MAX_PATH_METRIC is 4,261,412,864 (0xFE000000,
   2^32 - 2^25).

   If a link is advertised without this sub-TLV, traffic engineering SPF
   calculations must use the normal default metric of this link, which
   is advertised in the fixed part of the extended IS reachability TLV.


6.0 Security Considerations

   This document raises no new security issues for IS-IS.

	Title		: OSPF, IS-IS, RSVP, CR-LDP Extensions to Support 
                          Inter-Area Traffic Engineering Using MPLS TE
	Author(s)	: S. Dharanikota, S. Venkatachalam
	Filename	: draft-dharanikota-interarea-mpls-te-ext-00.txt
	Pages		: 20
	Date		: 05-Sep-00
	
In this draft, we propose the extensions required to the routing 
protocols, signaling protocols, and the MIB to support the idea of 
inter-area LSPs. A companion document [INTER_AREA_FWK] provides the 
architectural requirements for such a concept. This document also 
provides the signaling extensions to support the crankback as 
defined in the architecture document [INTER_AREA_FWK].

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IS-IS for IP Internets Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: IS-IS extensions for Traffic Engineering
	Author(s)	: T. Li, H. Smit
	Filename	: draft-ietf-isis-traffic-02.txt
	Pages		: 9
	Date		: 05-Sep-00
	
This document describes extensions to the IS-IS protocol to support
Traffic Engineering [1].  The IS-IS protocol is specified in [2],
with extensions for supporting IPv4 specified in [3].
This document extends the IS-IS protocol by specifying new
information that a Intermediate System (IS) [router] can place in
Link State Protocol Data Units (LSPs).  This information describes
additional information about the state of the network that is useful
for traffic engineering computations.

									SC 6 N 11618

Title: Liaison Report to the IETF Routing Area Director on 2nd CD for
ISO/IEC 10589 (IS-IS Routing)

Source: ISO/IEC JTC1/SC6

ISO/IEC JTC1/SC6 WG7 is currently creating a new base text for ISO10589.
SC6 intends to use this new version 2 as the base for adding the
enhancements which have been requested by the IETF to optimise the use
of ISO 10589 for Internet routing solutions.  The IETF IS-IS WG convenor
originally identified  Internet Drafts: <draft-ietf-isis-dyname-02.txt>
and <draft-ietf-isis-traffic-01.txt> as the source documents which
specify these enhancements.   SC6 invites the IETF to confirm that the
above Internet Drafts are the correct references and to inform SC6 if
there are additional IETF documents which refer to any other
requirements for  IS-IS Routing enhancements.

 SC6 would like to interact with the IETF on clarifying the detailed
requirements in the hope that it may be possible to  introduce them
during the editing cycle for version 2 of the standard.   To this end,
we would like the Routing Area Directors to arrange an IS-IS BOF at the
San Diego IETF meeting to discuss these requirements and how they can be
incorporated into the new version of  ISO 10586.

 SC6 will post an initial draft version of the new base document as an
Internet Draft in August 2000 but this will not contain the changes
requested by the IETF.  A ballot closure date of February 2001 has been
set for the 2nd CD Ballot to allow incorporation of final input on the
Internet requirements if they can be agreed at the December 2000 IETF
meeting.

For information, the current instructions to the editor are that he
should use ISO/IEC 10589:1992 as a base for editing, and shall apply the
minimum textual changes mandated by the following TCs and DRs:

   ISO/IEC 10589:1992/Cor.1:1993
   ISO/IEC 10589:1992/Cor.2:1996
   ISO/IEC 10589:1992/Cor.3:1996
   ISO/IEC 10589:1992/Amd 1:1996
   6N10323 - Defect Reports 7-26
   6N10659 - Defect Reports 27-34
   6N10733 - Technical Corrigendum 4
   The editor will also apply the minimal changes necessary to resolve
additional Defect Reports 35-44.

If SC6 and the IETF are unable to resolve the required changes, the
Editor will add a temporary note to the cover page and the scope clause
stating that:  “ ISO 10589 does not currently include the extensions
originally requested by the IETF in Internet Drafts:
<draft-ietf-isis-dyname-02.txt> and <draft-ietf-isis-traffic-01.txt>.
National Body and Liaison organization comments are invited to comment
on the best way to progress these extensions.”

  Thank you, I appreciate it !
 Pretty weird that a standards body like ISO is using a proprietary
 files format. ;-)

  draft-ietf-isis-dyname-02.txt is not a draft anymore.
 It is now an RFC: RFC2763.

  I have just submitted a new version of draft-ietf-isis-traffic-01.txt,
 draft-ietf-isis-traffic-02.txt. It might be a while before it becomes
 an RFC.

  And what about RFC1195 itself ? There is no mention that this RFC
 will be incorporated ?

  If RFC1195 is incorporated, there is one more ISIS draft that I would
 like to see added. Tony Li, Tony Prziegynda and myself are also authors
 of a draft that is related. draft-ietf-isis-domain-wide-02.txt. It is
 slated to be an RFC pretty soon, just waiting for the RFC editor to
 process it. If 10589 is including IP specific stuff, I think this one
 should be incorporated too.

    Henk.

Folks,

I will say that the only documents that I integrated into the ISO 10589 2nd edition were those specified in the "Instructions" from the ISO meeting in Prague.  The changes consist of the following documents:

ISO/IEC 10589:1992/Cor.1:1993
ISO/IEC 10589:1992/Cor.2:1996
ISO/IEC 10589:1992/Cor.3:1996
ISO/IEC 10589:1992/Amd 1:1996
6N10323 - Defect Reports 7-26
6N10659 - Defect Reports 27-34
6N10733 - Technical Corrigendum 4
The editor will also apply the minimal changes necessary to resolve
additional Defect Reports 35-44.

Regarding the changes proposed for DR 35-44, the SIF recommendation was used in place of these DRs.

Nothing IP specific was added to ISO 10589.  The question that the ISO is presenting here to the IETF as I understand it is: 

What does the IETF recommend as the best method moving forward to handle changes to the ISO spec by the IETF and how best should the IP specific information be handled?


The ISO world does not seem intent upon making great sweeping changes to the spec, to the best of my knowledge and most new work is being handled within the IETF.

I think it would be wise to develop a method for dealing with all IETF changes before setting the precedent of integrating ANY of the IETF ID's or RFC's directly into the spec.  That document is already getting unwieldly in Word and if it is going to be accepting another 100 pages of material, it will very likely need to be restructured.

The question of whether the ISO wishes to continue to maintain this spec also needs to be asked.  If not, it may be possible to publish the ISO 10589 as a standards track RFC.  This would likely require some modification to the structure of the document.  ( Does an RFC really need 30 pages of complex conformance tables? )  Also the ISO 10589 spec is not friendly to a purely text based representation.

These are just some of my thoughts on the matter.  While, I am the current editor for the document, I am not presenting these suggestions as a "representative" of the ISO, or stating this to be their official position.

I will investigate further making available the PDF version that I have of the 2nd Edition.  This is pending a response from ANSI.

  Personally I would be in favor of combining all ISO documents and IETF
 RFCs into one, and then splitting it up in three separate documents.

  *) one document that specifies the core of ISIS. How to set up
     adjacencies, what an LSP looks like, what TLVs are, what areas
     are to ISIS, how to run the SPF itself, etc.
  *) one document that specifies all TLVs and algorithms related
     to routing of iso8473 (aka CLNP)
  *) one document that specifies all TLVs and algorithms related
     to routing of IP

  I think especially splitting the core of IS-IS from iso8473 related
 details will make the protocol much more understandable.

  Just my 2 cents, I guess it will never happen ... :-(

         Henk.

The original intent of the workplan submitted to ISO was a two step process:

1)To provide a revised version of the base ISO 10589 spec that incorporates
the known DRs etc. This is the work that Micah has taken on - for which he
deserves much applause as it involved considerable effort and I am sure not
all of it was fun.

2)Moving forward from the output of Step #1, to incorporate the IP related
extensions so that there was a unified document/set of documents which
accurately reflected the current usage of the protocol given its deployment
in both OSI and IP environments. The need for this is driven by the
evolution of the usage of the protocol in the IP environment and the
(potential) use of IS-IS in dual environments. Also, there is the feeling of
some (myself included) that the current fragmented definition is less than
optimal.

How best to implement Step #2 is a question yet to be answered. Whether to
try to put everything into a single document or provide a set of documents?
How to manage these documents (within IETF, within ISO, liason)?

There are obviously very different approaches to both organizations as far
as document formats, approval processes, participation in the process etc.

The fact that the IETF has been invited into this process is a very good
thing for it means that all the interested parties can easily have a voice
in defining at least the content of what should go into the document(s). How
such documents are to be maintained, while an important issue, I think
should be separated from the more immediate questions of:

  o What set of inputs should be used to create the document(s)?
  o What form should the document(s) take?

I certainly think that RFC 1195, appropriately revised, should be part of
the input set. as well as those extensions that are agreed upon. In addition
to those extensions mentioned by others I would also add the "3-way
handshake" draft as an essential.

Speaking as someone who is in the early stages of experience with this
protocol, I would love to see this as a set of documents managed by the
IETF.  If for no other reason than to have a unified source, and format 
for the information.  (I find the ISO format to be a bit unwieldy, but
that is an opinion and not very relevant)

It may also lead to development of protocol analysis, and "experience
with"  docs (additional benifits to the internet community.)  

I would be more than willing to volunteer my time in order to help
complete this work.  (Although the majority of you are probably more
qualified.)

Hi,
A question on hello interval timers. Cisco implements hellos times as 
follows:
1> hello interval : 10
2> hello multiplier: 3
does anybody have some suggestions as to where these values have been 
specified?

Any help is appreciated.

I think the Cisco numbers are reasonable. The hello timer must
be settable, and perhaps the holding multiplier is as well. So
the "hello interval" of 10 is a default, right?

By the way, the holding multiplier was something I discovered, to my
surprise (and not happiness) that 10589 specified to be a constant,
and 10 times
the hello timer, which is way too much. I think it was specified
as 2+fudge factor, or perhaps 3, in the DECnet Phase 5 routing spec.
At any rate, when I asked on the mailing list about how the multiplier
got to be specified as 10 (and not settable...an architectural constant),
the answer was that everyone was ignoring that, so it wasn't a problem!

There's no magic to the numbers, and there was no careful analysis
done, but 2 or 3 times for the multiplier
seems about right, and 10 times seems definitely
wrong. As for the hello timer, I'd think it would have to be
a parameter, since if you want to notice a router down within a few
seconds, you'll have to send more frequent hellos, and if it were
always, say, 1 second, that might be too much overhead in most cases.

Several service provider networks I'm familiar with actually increase the 
multiplier to 4 or 5 and lower the interval to 1-2s.  The b/w utilization is 
negligible (especially on OC-n connections), and even less when 
implementations stop padding hellos after adjacency establishment.  The 
benefit (i.e. detecting faults nearly an order of magnitude faster) certainly 
is interesting, especially when comparing to typical default values.

Then again, others increase the interval to cut down on chatting (especially 
w/large NBMA clouds -- where they need it most *8^/).

Of course, it goes without saying -- mucking with values without understanding 
the full impact on the network is a bad idea.

What is the value in increasing the multiplier? I understand why you'd
want to set the hello interval to be small in order to detect failure
quickly. The only reason I could imagine for setting the multiplier
higher is if the link is very flaky and it's likely you'll miss
several hellos in a row. Are the networks you refer to
using very fast and very flaky links?
Or are the routers likely to lose a lot of packets without looking at
them first, so that most hellos do get lost?

Just curious...

There are a number of reasons, actually.  A couple of the networks I refer to 
are indeed very fast and usually very reliable, though the reasoning equally 
applies to the lower-speed networks as well.

Increasing the multiplier seems to provide a sense of security when decreasing 
the interval, primarily in order to avoid instability or oscillation as a 
result of bursts of errors (on usually very reliable links, perhaps when 
switching to protected SONET paths, though applicable to "non-protected" links 
as well), or dealing with bursty traffic resulting in temporal congestion 
(perhaps as the result of circuit failures or other anomalies in the network). 
 And, of course, to deal with "platform" issues (e.g. lack or system 
bandwidth, processor cycles, plain old flakiness, etc..).

Similarly, such models have been deployed w/BGP and other routing protocols, 
as well as link layer keepalives, etc..

Hi,
My doubt is regarding , having more than one adjacency with same system Id 
but different SNPA.
I hope this is possible when there is any backup link present

I assume that,  if any Hello PDU be received by an IS with system Id same 
as the received IS, then it can be discarded. ie Receiving own hello PDU.


          IS - 1                              IS - 2
             |                                       |
             | c1                                  | c2
-----------------------------------------------------------
                     c3 |     | c4
                          |     |
                          |     |
                         IS - 3

For the above broadcast topology  let,
   IS-1, IS-2 & IS-3 be three L1 intermediate  systems
   c1, c2, c3, c4 be the respective IS's circuits. where c4 be the back up 
link for IS-3.
   Let priority of c1 be 10, c2 be 20, c3 be 30 and c4 be 40.

Here, IS -1  and IS -2 will have two  adjacencies for  IS -3 with same s  
ystem Id but, different SNPA.
But, IS -3 won't have any adjacency of it's own. ie c4 is not known to c3 
and vice versa

DOUBTS:
1. After DR election c1 , c2 and c4 will say c4 as the DR. But c3 will say 
 c3 as the DR. So the  LAN will have more than on DR at a time
2. If  the IS won't have two interfaces on the same LAN as in the above 
topology , then why do we need to check for system ID and SNPA. for 
creating new adjacency over a circuit.   I feel checking for System ID 
alone sufficient. So we can discard duplicate IIH.

Pls  correct me , if  I'm wrong.


 Selva.

Radia,

One of the reasons I know of for incresing the multiplier would be to
avoid unnecessary adj. flaps when you have bursts of traffic - hence
temporary congestions - and your hardware is not capable of separating
discarded protocol packets from data packets on an ingress line card. (I
know a few boxes which have such a characteristic :).

And before this provokes a discussion, I think most folks would agree that
that's not a particularly robust implementation.

 ]1. After DR election c1 , c2 and c4 will say c4 as the DR. But c3 will say

this actually will be worse, the IS-1 and IS-2 may randomly setup
adjacnecies with IS-3 on either c3 or c4 depends on the timing. since
they will rejects the second adjacency setup due to conflict in systemID
and mac addresses.

 ]2. If  the IS won't have two interfaces on the same LAN as in the above 
 ]topology , then why do we need to check for system ID and SNPA. for 
 ]creating new adjacency over a circuit.   I feel checking for System ID 
 ]alone sufficient. So we can discard duplicate IIH.

i guess the idea was to prevent accident. if you want to bring a new
router into the LAN and misconfigure the systemID which duplicates the
one already in operation, the proper behaviour should be the new router
can not join the ISIS on this LAN instead of knocking off the one already
working. since the chances are the new router probably is configured wrong.
so this check on both systemID and mac address is useful.

Hi Selva,

>I assume that, if any Hello PDU be received by an IS with system >Id same
as the received IS, then it can be discarded. ie Receiving >own hello PDU.

  I could not find reference to this in ISO 10589, where is this spelled
out? If they were not discarded, wouldn't the DR election process work
correctly?

> DOUBTS:
> 1. After DR election c1 , c2 and c4 will say c4 as the DR. But c3 >will
say c3 as the DR. So the  LAN will have more than one DR at a >time

  ISO 10589 states the following pertinent information in section 8.4.4 LAN
Designated Intermediate Systems:

d)After waiting ISISHelloTimer * 2 seconds, run the Level 1 and or the Level
2 Designated Intermediate System election process depending on the
Intermediate system type. This shall be run subsequently whenever an IIH PDU
is received or transmitted...(For these purposes, the transmission of the
system's own IIH PDU is equivalent to receiving it)...

   If IS-3 discards one of the IIH PDUs, I don't believe the DR election
process during circuit initialization will work properly. However,
subsequent DR elections should work properly because IS-3 will know about
both IIH PDUs being generated. Am I off in the weeds?

Cheers,
Ken Larmer

Hi,
   I hope this is the correct forum for asking these questions. I am
developing an IS-IS technology course and I have some questions, which I
can't seem to get the answers to. I have included a text version of my
questions and also a word attachment. I apologize for the lengthy
questionnaire, though I appreciate any assistance in this area!

   I am trying to determine the correct settings for the SRMflag and
SSNflag when a CSNP or PSNP are received over a Point-to-Point or Broadcast
link. ISO-10589, Section 7.3.15.2, sub-section b) details what actions to
take with respect to the SRMflag and the SSNflag when a SNP (either CSNP or
PSNP) are received over a circuit (either broadcast or non-broadcast). It
states the following: My interpretations and questions are proceeded by #.

7.3.15.2 Action on Receipt of a Sequence Numbers PDU
When a Sequence Numbers PDU (Complete or Partial...) is received on
circuit C the IS shall perform the following functions:
a) Perform the following PDU acceptance tests:
...
...
...
...
b) For each LSP reported in the Sequence Number PDU:

1)If the reported value equals the database value and C is a non-broadcast
Circuit, Clear SRMflag for C for that LSP.

#Non-broadcast:
#PSNP received - Acknowledged receipt of LSP. 
#What do we do with the SSNflag?

#CSNP received - Don't update a LSP on a circuit where an adjacent IS
already possesses it.
#Again, what do we do with the SSNflag?

#Broadcast:
#PSNP received - The DR sets the SRMflag for this LSP to update the LAN IS
requesting this LSP.
#Is this interpretation correct?

#CSNP received - Do nothing, the LSP databases are synchronized with respect
to this LSP.
#Is this interpretation correct?

2)If the reported value is older than the database value, Clear SSNflag, and
Set SRMflag.

#Non-broadcast:
#PSNP received - Acknowledgement of a received LSP, however, since the LSP
was propagated minimumLSPTransmissionInterval expiration (lastSent) onto
this circuit, the receiving IS has received a newer version of this LSP.
Consequently, it will update the adjacent IS. 
#Is this why the SSNflag is cleared? 

#CSNP received - Update the adjacent IS.
Why are we clearing the SSNflag? If this is circuit initialization, because
we just received a CSNP, should any SSNflags for this circuit be set? Or,
could the circuit have restarted and the SSNflags may represent a left over
state?

#Broadcast:
#PSNP received - Does this mean that the requesting IS is out of date
(perhaps dropped the latest CSNP due to congestion and is just getting
around to requesting an update) and DR may have had its LSP updated since it
sent the last CSNP?
#If not, why are we requesting an older LSP? 

#CSNP received - Update the DR.

3)If the reported value is newer than the database value, Set SSNflag, and
if C is a non-broadcast circuit Clear SRMflag.

#Non-broadcast:
#PSNP received - We are acknowledging a newer LSP than the adjacent IS
possesses.
#Why is the adjacent IS acknowledging a LSP we have not sent them? Or could
this be a previous incarnation?

#CSNP received - Do not update the adjacent IS with an older LSP. 
#Though, why set the SSNflag? 

#Broadcast:
#PSNP received - We are requesting a newer LSP than the DR possesses. Why is
this IS requesting a newer LSP and what should the DR do in this
situation?

#CSNP received - Request an updated LSP from the DR.  

4)If no database entry exists for the LSP, and the reported Remaining
Lifetime, Checksum and Sequence Number fields of the LSP are all non-zero,
create an entry with sequence number 0 and set SSNflag for that entry and
circuit C. Under no circumstances shall SRMflag be set for such an LSP with
zero sequence number.

#Non-Broadcast:
#PSNP received - This makes no sense for a PSNP. 
#???

#CSNP received - Create an entry, but do not propagate.
#Why set the SSNflag for a LSP we have not yet received?

#Broadcast:
#PSNP received - This makes no sense for a PSNP.
#???

#CSNP received - Create an entry, but do not propagate and request this LSP
from the DR.

I don't have the time to answer thoroughly, but let me
make a comment that will hopefully make things easier to
understand.

I don't remember why this was specified as two binary
flags SRM and SSN. Instead I think it's clearer to think
of it as a single "state" variable with 3 settings:
   OK (don't need to send ack or LSP)
   ACK (i.e., SSN, need to send ack)
   XMIT (i.e., SRM, need to transmit LSP)
   
You never should have both SSN and SRM flags set. You send
an ack once and then change the state to "OK". You send an LSP if
SRM is set (state is "XMIT") until you get an ack or the same
LSP from that neighbor. If an ack, you change state to "OK". If you receive
the same LSP from a neighbor N you set the state
to "ack" for that neighbor. If you receive a new LSP from N you set
the state to N to "ack" and to everyone else as "XMIT". You keep
transmitting to a neighbor until you get an ack from that nbr, or
the same LSP from that nbr.

This isn't very complete, I'm sure...but the main thing I wanted
to clarify is (unless I've completely forgotten this...it's been
about 85 years ... ) that you'd never want both SSN and SRM set.

Yes that is possible if  c1 and c2 already exist on the network before c3 
or c4.
For instance if another IS , IS-4, be commimg up then there is no gaurentee 
that IS-4 also will form the same adjacency with IS-3 as IS-1 & IS-2.

i guess the idea was to prevent accident. if you want to bring a new
router into the LAN and misconfigure the systemID which duplicates the
one already in operation, the proper behaviour should be the new router
can not join the ISIS on this LAN instead of knocking off the one already
working. since the chances are the new router probably is configured wrong.
so this check on both systemID and mac address is useful.

Hi,
I was out of station for the past two days. So I couldn't reply imedietly 
Sorry.

If  adjacency with neighbours having same system Id as the local system be 
established then those neighbours won't get in the SPF tree construction.
Because local systems cost will be zero and hence the neighbour gets 
overridden. So no way the adjacency is usefull.
If there is no such validation then there will be a possibility that all IS 
on the LAN ( even whole domain)  having same system ID. Won't it be ?
So neighbours with conflicting SNPA and System ID be detected it can better 
be ignored. In any way it is NOT useful.

Having useless things is better not having it.


Selva.

Hi Selva,

>I assume that, if any Hello PDU be received by an IS with system >Id same
as the received IS, then it can be discarded. ie Receiving >own hello PDU.

  I could not find reference to this in ISO 10589, where is this spelled
out? If they were not discarded, wouldn't the DR election process work
correctly?

> DOUBTS:
> 1. After DR election c1 , c2 and c4 will say c4 as the DR. But c3 >will
say c3 as the DR. So the  LAN will have more than one DR at a >time

  ISO 10589 states the following pertinent information in section 8.4.4 LAN
Designated Intermediate Systems:

d)After waiting ISISHelloTimer * 2 seconds, run the Level 1 and or the 
Level
2 Designated Intermediate System election process depending on the
Intermediate system type. This shall be run subsequently whenever an IIH 
PDU
is received or transmitted...(For these purposes, the transmission of the
system's own IIH PDU is equivalent to receiving it)...

   If IS-3 discards one of the IIH PDUs, I don't believe the DR election
process during circuit initialization will work properly. However,
subsequent DR elections should work properly because IS-3 will know about
both IIH PDUs being generated. Am I off in the weeds?

Cheers,
Ken Larmer

=20
I was reading the latest draft "draft-ietf-isis-traffic-02.txt" and a =
question came to mind regarding=20
unreserved bandwidth. In section 5.4 SUB-TLV 11: Unreserved bandwidth =
states "for stability reasons, rapid changes in the values in this =
sub-TLV should not cause rapid generation of LSPs".=20
=20
I was wondering what if  2 ingress (head end RSVP) LSR routers are =
provisioning LSPs (each wanting 100 Mbytes) through the same core =
convergent LSR interface and each one of the routers at the time they =
privision their LSP think there is 100 Mbyte of bandwidth free to =
complete the job. In reality there is a total of 100 MBYTE for the whole =
interface, the first RSVP reservation succeeds while the second fails.=20
=20
The second LSP Ingress router would ask TE Source routing for another =
next bandwidth constraint best path to setup the LSP.  How efficient is =
that if many LSPs coverge in the core of the network this way and there =
is no precise way to say what is available at the time RSVP is trigered =
on?

Also, since the IS-IS and its TE source routing engine take snap shots =
of the bandwidth resources in the network it has a tunnel view of what =
other IS-IS(LSR) routers are doing to this information at that moment in =
time, and are making inaccurate determination of what is reserved and =
what is free. The IS-IS route convergent time could be much slower than =
the RSVP signalling time.

The following is my assumption, please clarify if I am wrong, thanks

if a series of LSP requests are hitting a given IS-IS router (TE source =
routing engine) at the same processing window/cycle, it makes =
assignments based on a frozen snap shot of the bandwidth in the network. =
Assignments are made without consideration for their RSVP signalling =
success/failure and eventually the signalling components would fail =
their reservation requests causing turbulance with LSP attempts.


Assuming most of what i said is true, do we need another more precise =
mechanism to solve this? =20

Bena:

	This is a famous problem with the receiver-oriented
reservation mechanims. Where on the downstream side you do
the CAC and on the upstream side you do the actual reservaion.
I am not sure if we have a straight-forward answer for this.
I would also assume that the geneic consensus is pray god
that it will not happen (which is the generic approach taken
till now) or use different criteria for the second LSP after
it failed - as proposed in
draft-dharanikota-interarea-mpls-te-ext-00.txt

Cheers,

For CR-LDP a feedback mechanism was proposed to learn at signaling
intervals/speed whether or not there was b/w at interfaces. A snapshot
of that b/w is fed into TE database based on which source routes are
computed. With feedback, if there is insufficient b/w at an interface to
accomodate an LSP, a notification message with a feedback TLV is carried
towards the source. The feedback information is then input into
TE database at source and a new route computed. That route should now
not contain the interface where there was insufficient b/w. The feedback
mechanism is described in:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-mpls-te-feed-01.txt

The feedback provides you ability to try, fail, learn and try again.
From our experience, a proprietary signaling protocol with feedback
worked just fine, i.e. convergence was fast (one or two tries/failures
and a satisfactory route was found).

Abstract

   One key component of traffic engineering is a concept known as
   constraint based routing. In constraint based routing a topology
   database is maintained on all participating nodes. This database
   contains a complete list of all the links in the network that
   participate in traffic engineering and for each of these links a set
   of constraints which those links can meet. Bandwidth, for example,
   is one essential constraint. Since the bandwidth available changes
   as new LSPs are established and terminated the topology database
   will develop inconsistencies with respect to the real network. It is
   not possible to increase the flooding rates arbitrarily to keep the
   database discrepancies from growing. We propose a new mechanism
   whereby a source node can learn about the successes or failures of
   its path selections by receiving feedback from the paths it is
   attempting. This fed-back information can be incorporated into
   subsequent route computations, which greatly improves the accuracy

   of the overall routing solution by significantly reducing the
   database discrepancies.

1. Introduction

   Because the network is a distributed system, it is necessary to have
   a mechanism to advertise information about links to all nodes in the
   network [IS-IS], [OSPF].  A node can then build a topology map of
   the network.  This information is required to be as up-to-date as
   possible for accurate traffic engineered paths.  Information about
   link or node failures must be rapidly propagated through the network
   so that recovery can be initiated. Other information about links
   that may be useful for reasons of quality of service include
   parameters such as available bandwidth, and delay. The information
   in this topology database is often out of date with respect to the
   real network. Available bandwidth is the most critical of these
   attributes and it can drift substantially with respect to reality
   due to the low frequency of link state updates that can be sustained
   in a very large topology. We refer to the deviation in the topology
   database available bandwidth as being optimistic if the database
   shows more available bandwidth than there really is, or pessimistic
   if the topology database shows less bandwidth than there really is.
   This distinction is important because we shall propose an efficient
   algorithm to deal with optimistic databases without resorting to
   shorter flooding intervals.

   One of the major problems for a constraint based routing system is
   dealing with changing constraints. Obviously, since bandwidth is one
   of the essential constraints, dealing with the rapid changes in
   reserved bandwidth poses some interesting challenges. In smaller
   networks, one can resort to higher frequency flooding but this
   obviously does not scale.

   The basic proposal is to add to the signaling protocol the ability
   to piggyback actual link bandwidth availability information at every
   link that the signaling traverses. This is done as part of the
   reverse messaging on success or failure (mapping, release, withdraw
   or notification). What this means is that every time signaling
   messages flow backwards toward a source to tell it of the success,
   failure or termination of a request, that message contains a
   detailed slice of bandwidth availability information for the exact
   path that the message has followed. This slice of reservation
   information, which is very up to date, is received by the source
   node and attached to the source node's topology database prior to
   making any further source route computations. The result is that the
   source node's topology database will tend to stay synchronized with
   the slices of the network through which it is establishing paths.
   This is nothing more than learning from successes and failures and
   represents an intelligent alternative to either waiting for floods
   or introducing non-determinism (guessing) into the source
   algorithms. It is important to note that the fed-back data is never


Ashwood-Smith, et. al.       July  2000        [Page 2]
=0CInternet Draft      LSP Feedback with CR-LDP    July, 2000


   re-flooded. It simply overrides flooded information for the purpose
   of route computation until a superceding flood or fed-back value
   arrives. As such, it is not actually inserted into a topology
   database, most likely it simply is linked to that database as an
   override used only by source route computations.

   Operating a constraint based routing system without such feedback is
   inefficient at best since a source node will continue to give out
   incorrect route over and over again until it gets an IGP update.
   This could be minutes away and as a result the worst case blocking
   time for a new route is the minimum repeatable flooding interval
   (often several minutes in big networks). Alternatives to feedback
   mechanisms involve adding some non-determinism (randomness) to the
   routing algorithm in the hopes that it will stumble onto a path that
   works. These sorts of approaches are seen in ATM dynamic routing
   systems, which do not have these forms of feedback.

   In order to get a good understanding of how the feedback works,
   imagine a network with precisely one path (with sufficient
   unreserved bandwidth) available from the source to the destination.
   Further, imagine that the topology database at the source is
   significantly out of date with respect to the real network in that
   the source topology database sees sufficient bandwidth available on
   many different routes to the destination. We call this being
   optimistic with respect to the network since the source thinks that
   more bandwidth is available than there really is.

   When such an optimistic source selects its first path it will likely
   contain links that do not in reality have sufficient unreserved
   bandwidth. Therefore, the path is only established up to the link
   that does not have sufficient bandwidth. A notification message is
   formatted that contains the actual unreserved bandwidth for this
   blocking link which flows back toward the source, collapsing the
   partially created path as it goes. In addition, at every link that
   this notification traverses, the current unreserved bandwidth
   information for each corresponding link is appended to the vector of
   unreserved bandwidth along the path. In this manner, an accurate
   view of the slice through the network we are traversing is
   constructed. Eventually this message arrives back at the source
   node, where the vector is taken and used to temporarily override the
   topology database for route computations. This node has just learned
   from its mistake and is now slightly less optimistic with respect to
   the real network conditions.

   Path selection can be attempted again but this time the node will
   not make the same mistake it made the previous time. The link in
   question, at which rejection occurred the first time, will not even
   be eligible this time around, so a source route computation is
   guaranteed to produce a different path (or none). The same procedure
   may be repeated as many times as is necessary, each time learning
   from its mistakes, until eventually no paths remain in the source
   topology to the destination, or we actually find a path that works.

Ashwood-Smith, et. al.       July  2000        [Page 3]
=0CInternet Draft      LSP Feedback with CR-LDP    July, 2000


   This tendency to converge either to a solution or determine that
   there is no solution is an important property of a routing system
   (it actually behaves a lot like a depth first search). This property
   is not present with flooding mechanisms alone since the source node
   must randomly hunt, or continually make the same mistakes, or abort
   until the next flood arrives.

   In addition to feeding back bandwidth on failure, we also recommend
   feedback on success. This has important consequences on our ability
   to spread load or to spill over to new links as existing links fill.
   It is true that spilling over to new links does not require feedback
   on success since we could simply wait for a feedback on failure, but
   we can achieve better load spreading earlier.

   Finally, when a path is torn down the release/withdraw messages also
   contain bandwidth information that can be fed back to override the
   source topology database. This is very important during failure
   scenarios where the links we need to use to reroute the path share
   common sub-segments with the failed path. Without the feedback, the
   common sub-segments may not indicate sufficient available bandwidth
   until we get a flood that may mean many seconds without a
   connection. With feedback at least we will be up to date with
   respect to available bandwidth up to the point of failure in the
   path. Also since failure involves many paths tearing down and re-
   establishing this is the time that it is most critical to have an
   accurate view.

   When preemption is being employed it is also extremely important
   that the topology database inconsistencies be small. If not, high
   setup priority LSPs may unnecessarily preempt lower holding priority
   LSPs to obtain bandwidth that, had they had a more up to date view
   of unreserved bandwidth, they would have been able to find
   elsewhere. Since preempted LSPs may in turn preempt other LSPs in a
   domino like effect, the results of such database inconsistencies can
   have wide reaching ripple like impacts. These feedback mechanisms
   help reduce these occurrences significantly.

   There are a number of network conditions where feedback shows its
   value. One can think of a constraint-based network as being in one
   of three conditions. The first is called ramp-up, this is when the
   rate of arriving reservations exceeds the rate of departing
   reservations. The second is called steady-state, this is when the
   rate of arriving reservations is about the same as the rate of
   departing reservations. Finally, the ramp-down condition is that
   which has a greater rate of departing reservations than arriving
   reservations.

   These three network conditions show distinctly different types of
   error in the topology databases. In particular an optimistic view of
   available bandwidth by a source node is characteristic of the ramp-
   up condition of a network. A pessimistic view of available bandwidth
   by a source node is characteristic of the ramp-down condition of a

Ashwood-Smith, et. al.       July  2000        [Page 4]
=0CInternet Draft      LSP Feedback with CR-LDP    July, 2000


   network. If one plots the average error in the topology databases
   with respect to the real network for the three different network
   conditions, one will see the error slowly go positive during ramp
   up, slowly go negative during ramp down, and drift slowly around 0
   for the steady condition. The effect of flooding on this plot is to
   periodically snap the error back to 0 at flooding intervals. The
   effect of the feedback algorithm is to bring an optimistic error
   back to zero without having to wait for the flood interval. On
   average then, the feedback algorithm tends to halve the absolute
   error, keeping it mostly negative or pessimistic. This makes sense
   since a routing system will never give paths to links that it thinks
   do not have resources and as a result its pessimistic view of the
   world stays that way until it gets a flood.  This relieves the IGP
   updates of the most urgent requirement of flooding when bandwidth is
   consumed. Availability of new bandwidth occurs when paths are
   released or new links become available.  New links are accompanied
   by floods. Significant releases of bandwidth can be broadcast at
   relatively low frequencies in the order of several minutes with
   little operational impact.

   Extensive operational experience with this feedback protocol in
   proprietary Nortel Networks (pre-standard CR-LDP) products has shown
   it to work very well for networks up to 1000 nodes with significant
   flooding intervals damped to several minutes. Without this protocol,
   these networks would block setups for up to several minutes. With
   this protocol, the blocking in most cases is reduced to a small
   number of retry attempts which is usually sub-second depending
   mostly on the propagation delays in the network.

   These feedback algorithms have been particularly beneficial in cases
   of failure recovery during which the network is in a sudden
   condition of ramp-up. Since a large number of reservations must be
   remade, it is highly likely that we will exceed the limits of
   certain key links in the network. Without feedback, the rerouting
   must block until a flood arrives telling us of the situation at
   those key links at which time rerouting can continue. With feedback,
   the rerouting simply continues until a feedback indicates that a
   link is full. In addition since reservation-balancing algorithms are
   also often used, feedback allows the balancing algorithms to make
   better distribution decisions based on immediate feedback.

   We have also explored through simulation and implementation a
   variety of mechanisms to deal with the pessimistic error in the
   database. One simple proposal is to use selective forgetting. In
   this algorithm, a reserved bandwidth value slowly drops back to zero
   over a relatively short time interval. The theory being that you
   shift the network back to an optimistic state (by forgetting your
   pessimism) where the feedback algorithm will again correctly
   operate. These algorithms have not shown any great advantage and are
   actually non-optimal when the error is purely optimistic.



Ashwood-Smith, et. al.       July  2000        [Page 5]
=0CInternet Draft      LSP Feedback with CR-LDP    July, 2000


   Other algorithmic permutations we have explored include such
   variations as:

   Feeding-back to all intermediate nodes, information learned from
   control messages upstream of that intermediate node.

   Feeding back in both directions so that both the source and
   destination node's databases stay synchronized.

   Allowing a request to continue to its destination despite there
   being insufficient bandwidth at some intermediate hop. Then,
   rejecting the request with a full bandwidth vector slice all the way
   to the destination instead of just to the point of rejection.

   Our simulations have not show significant benefits relative to the
   simpler algorithm proposed here. However, it is an interesting
   research topic to explore and quantify the different feedback
   algorithms and their impacts on blocking times so we do not want to
   discourage the interested reader from exploring these concepts more
   fully.

2. Adding feedback TLVs to CR-LDP

   Two new TLVs are optionally added to the CR-LDP mapping,
   notification, and withdraw messages. There may be an arbitrary
   number of these TLV in any order or position in the message. It is
   recommended that they be placed such that they can be read and
   applied to override the topology database by scanning the message
   forwards and walking the topology database from the point where the
   last link feedback TLV left off.

   Each TLV consists of the 8 unreserved bandwidth values for each
   holding priority 0 through 7 as IEEE floating point numbers (the
   units are unidirectional bytes per second). Following this are the
   IP addresses of the two ends of the interface. Two TLVs are
   possible, one for IPV4 and one for IPV6 addressing of the link.

   Note: the feedback TLVs may also optionally be included in query or
   query-reply messages in response to bandwidth update queries from an
   LER. Details of this mechanism are provided in [QUERY].

2.1 Bandwidth directionality considerations

   The order of the two addresses in the feedback TLV implies the
   direction in which the bandwidth is available. For example if the
   first address is A and the second address is B the bandwidth is
   unreserved in the A to B direction.

   It is possible for an implementation to provide both the A to B
   direction and the B to A direction as part of the same feedback
   message. This is done by simply including a TLV with A,B as the
   addresses of the link and a different TLV with B,A as the addresses

   of the link. Should CR-LDP evolve to be able to support bi-
   directional traffic flow and reservations it is expected that bi-
   directional feedback would also be implemented via this mechanism.

5. Detailed Procedures

   On receipt of a withdraw, notification, query-reply, or mapping
   message pertaining to a request made by CR-LDP (as opposed to LDP),
   a feedback TLV of the appropriate format for the interface over
   which the message was received is inserted into the message before
   forwarding it back to the source of the request. The 8 bandwidth
   values are filled in with the outgoing bandwidth available on this
   interface for each of the 8 holding priorities in bytes per second.
   Finally the interface's address and far end address are placed in
   the TLV.



Ashwood-Smith, et. al.       July  2000        [Page 8]
=0CInternet Draft      LSP Feedback with CR-LDP    July, 2000


   On receipt of a CR-LDP request message which cannot be satisfied. A
   notification message is formatted normally. The 8-bandwidth values
   are filled in with the outgoing bandwidth available on this
   interface for each of the 8 holding priorities in bytes per second.
   Finally, the interface's address and far end address are placed in
   the TLV.

   On receipt of a CR-LDP request message which has been satisfied and
   which results in a mapping being generated. No feedback TLV is added
   since the previous node will insert the proper TLV when it receives
   the reverse flowing mapping.

   When an LDP session goes down either because of a link failure,
   TCP/IP timeout, keepalive timeout, adjacency timeout etc. Other LDP
   sessions in the module must generate either notification, withdraw
   or release messages for LSPs that traversed the LDP in question. In
   the case that the LSP was created by CR-LDP and that a withdraw or
   notification is about to be generated, LDP will insert a feedback
   TLV for the interface which just went down that contains 0's for all
   the bandwidth values and attach to it the proper interface
   addresses.

   When the LDP session that originated a CR-LDP label request receives
   a mapping that contains feedback TLV's it is recommended that these
   bandwidth values supersede the corresponding values in the node's
   topology database for source route computations. Doing so permits
   this node to immediately synchronize its topology with respect to
   the real bandwidth reservations along the path that was just
   established.

   When the LDP session that originated a CR-LDP label request receives
   a notification that contains feedback TLV's it is recommended that
   these bandwidth values supersede the corresponding values in the
   node's topology database for source route computations. Doing so
   permits this node to immediately synchronize its topology with
   respect to the real bandwidth reservations along the path that just
   failed to establish. The source node may then re-compute a path
   knowing that the computation will take into account the failure if
   it was caused by the topology database being in error with respect
   to the real network state.

   6. IGP considerations

   Implementations MUST NOT permit bandwidth information learned by
   this feedback mechanism to be re-flooded via IS-IS, OSPF or any
   other IGP. The bandwidth information learned via these feedback
   mechanisms is to be used ONLY for source route computations on the
   nodes that are directly on the path that fed back the bandwidth.
   Normally only the source node of the LSP, or perhaps intermediate
   gateway nodes will use this information. It is however permitted for
   intermediate nodes that are forwarding this feedback information to
   store it for their own local source route computations.

Ashwood-Smith, et. al.       July  2000        [Page 9]
=0CInternet Draft      LSP Feedback with CR-LDP    July, 2000


   There is a possibility of a race condition between the bandwidth
   information that is received via feedback and that which is received
   via a normal IGP flood. While there may be a discrepancy between the
   two, both are within a few 100 milliseconds of being correct.
   Solutions to allow us to determine which information is most up to
   date (say by adding a sequence number) do not add any significant
   benefit. Constraint based, source routed systems will always have
   errors in the local topology database with respect to the real
   network. We can reduce these errors through reduced flooding
   intervals, path following feedback and selective flooding but we
   cannot realistically reduce the errors below the second or so range.
   As a result propagation delay order race conditions are noise with
   respect to the average expected errors. An implementation SHOULD
   therefore consider the most recently received update (IGP or
   feedback) as being the most up to date.

7. Future considerations

   Constraint based routing systems such as CR-LDP will in the future
   offer other forms of constraint than simply reserved bandwidth.
   Actual utilization levels, current congestion levels, number of
   discrete channels/wavelengths available etc. are all possible
   constraints that change rapidly and which must be taken into
   consideration when computing a route. It is expected that this
   mechanism will be used to feedback these and other new forms of link
   constraining data.

8. RSVP consideration

   Nothing precludes the use of such feedback mechanisms with a similar
   TLV structure in the RSVP Resv and other reverse flowing messages
   although repeatedly applying a fed-back should be avoided since it
   increases the race condition window with flooded LSPs. This could be
   accomplished by a simple rule that only permits fed-back information
   on the original RESV, not on subsequent refreshes.

If you can't mix dual and non-dual routers in the same area and
have routing work for the non-OSI protocols supported (IP and IPv6),
then how can it work at Level 2 if all the Level 2 routers do not
support all the same non-OSI protocols?  It seems to have the same
problem - routes will be computed through routers that do not support
the protocol of the data, just because the link costs are lowest.

Am I missing something?

You still need to regenerate and flood LSPs when an interface state (i.e. bandwidth)
changes. How you do this is up to you. For example, you could reflood LSPs at an interval
that could be tied to the amount of bandwidth being used. The more frequently LSPs 
are reflooded the closer an approximation of actual unreserved bandwidth in the 
network you will have.

Why would you need a feedback mechanism if you regenerate and flood IS-IS LSPs with updated TE TLVs
that contain up to the moment (second, millisecond, whatever) bandwidth info?

I agree with the 'try fail and learn again' approach but I don't think you need
a separate feedback mechanism other than recent IS-IS LSPs from other LSRs.

If your flooding interval is very short then there is no need for feedback but you don't want to flood too frequently or
else only control traffic is running in the network and the network doesn't scale too well. We employed feedback in a
system where regular floods were every 30 minutes, feedback updates were at path establishment rates, i.e. feedback
information was piggy-backed on top of appropriate signaling messages.

Matthew and Darek:
  I kind of like the feedback mechanism defined in
"draft-ietf-mpls-te-feed-01.txt". I think what is missing and maybe Bilel or
Darek can add it to their spec is that a timestamp be added to both the
flooded LSA/LSP TE TLV to identify when the bandwidth sample was taken. Also
the CR/LDP or RSVP-TE new TLV have a time stamp identifying when the
reservation denial and bandwidth sample was taken from the rejecting LSR. As
the message is returned to the ingress LSR its bandwidth will be overwritten
into the linkstate database, since its the most up to date information.

I can see a race condition where IGP converging link state information might
have older data then Reservation Release/Withdrawl messages containing the
same (feedback) data. Thus its possible for the ingress LSR IGP to
momentarily over-write newer bandwidth with bad/older bandwidth into the
ingress LSR linkstate database. Ingress LSR IGP should check the timestamp
in the database with its current LSA/LSP packet and only update the
bandwidth value if it has the newer timestamp in the LSA/LSP packet.

regards,
Ben

Darek:
  Thanks for the kind response. I was thinking about your answer. What =
happens if you have multiple LSP attempts with multiple retries does the =
originating LSR take into account potential attempts that have not =
initiated yet, but could collide in the core LSR interface and thus =
forces other potential LSP to go to different paths (although less =
optimal), or does it simply assume that all colliding LSPs have plenty =
of bandwidth even before they are actually assigned or signalled through =
the domain?

Second question, how do you keep the feedback information carried back =
in CR/LDP from being overwritten by the IGP flooding of the same =
bandwidth data?   Could this propose a synchronization issue or is the =
assumption that the IGP data will be as good as the feedback data?

Ben

  Abstract

     One key component of traffic engineering is a concept known as
     constraint based routing. In constraint based routing a topology
     database is maintained on all participating nodes. This database
     contains a complete list of all the links in the network that
     participate in traffic engineering and for each of these links a =
set
     of constraints which those links can meet. Bandwidth, for example,
     is one essential constraint. Since the bandwidth available changes
     as new LSPs are established and terminated the topology database
     will develop inconsistencies with respect to the real network. It =
is
     not possible to increase the flooding rates arbitrarily to keep the
     database discrepancies from growing. We propose a new mechanism
     whereby a source node can learn about the successes or failures of
     its path selections by receiving feedback from the paths it is
     attempting. This fed-back information can be incorporated into
     subsequent route computations, which greatly improves the accuracy

     of the overall routing solution by significantly reducing the
     database discrepancies.

  1. Introduction

     Because the network is a distributed system, it is necessary to =
have
     a mechanism to advertise information about links to all nodes in =
the
     network [IS-IS], [OSPF].  A node can then build a topology map of
     the network.  This information is required to be as up-to-date as
     possible for accurate traffic engineered paths.  Information about
     link or node failures must be rapidly propagated through the =
network
     so that recovery can be initiated. Other information about links
     that may be useful for reasons of quality of service include
     parameters such as available bandwidth, and delay. The information
     in this topology database is often out of date with respect to the
     real network. Available bandwidth is the most critical of these
     attributes and it can drift substantially with respect to reality
     due to the low frequency of link state updates that can be =
sustained
     in a very large topology. We refer to the deviation in the topology
     database available bandwidth as being optimistic if the database
     shows more available bandwidth than there really is, or pessimistic
     if the topology database shows less bandwidth than there really is.
     This distinction is important because we shall propose an efficient
     algorithm to deal with optimistic databases without resorting to
     shorter flooding intervals.

     One of the major problems for a constraint based routing system is
     dealing with changing constraints. Obviously, since bandwidth is =
one
     of the essential constraints, dealing with the rapid changes in
     reserved bandwidth poses some interesting challenges. In smaller
     networks, one can resort to higher frequency flooding but this
     obviously does not scale.

     The basic proposal is to add to the signaling protocol the ability
     to piggyback actual link bandwidth availability information at =
every
     link that the signaling traverses. This is done as part of the
     reverse messaging on success or failure (mapping, release, withdraw
     or notification). What this means is that every time signaling
     messages flow backwards toward a source to tell it of the success,
     failure or termination of a request, that message contains a
     detailed slice of bandwidth availability information for the exact
     path that the message has followed. This slice of reservation
     information, which is very up to date, is received by the source
     node and attached to the source node's topology database prior to
     making any further source route computations. The result is that =
the
     source node's topology database will tend to stay synchronized with
     the slices of the network through which it is establishing paths.
     This is nothing more than learning from successes and failures and
     represents an intelligent alternative to either waiting for floods
     or introducing non-determinism (guessing) into the source
     algorithms. It is important to note that the fed-back data is never


  Ashwood-Smith, et. al.       July  2000        [Page 2]
  Internet Draft      LSP Feedback with CR-LDP    July, 2000


     re-flooded. It simply overrides flooded information for the purpose
     of route computation until a superceding flood or fed-back value
     arrives. As such, it is not actually inserted into a topology
     database, most likely it simply is linked to that database as an
     override used only by source route computations.

     Operating a constraint based routing system without such feedback =
is
     inefficient at best since a source node will continue to give out
     incorrect route over and over again until it gets an IGP update.
     This could be minutes away and as a result the worst case blocking
     time for a new route is the minimum repeatable flooding interval
     (often several minutes in big networks). Alternatives to feedback
     mechanisms involve adding some non-determinism (randomness) to the
     routing algorithm in the hopes that it will stumble onto a path =
that
     works. These sorts of approaches are seen in ATM dynamic routing
     systems, which do not have these forms of feedback.

     In order to get a good understanding of how the feedback works,
     imagine a network with precisely one path (with sufficient
     unreserved bandwidth) available from the source to the destination.
     Further, imagine that the topology database at the source is
     significantly out of date with respect to the real network in that
     the source topology database sees sufficient bandwidth available on
     many different routes to the destination. We call this being
     optimistic with respect to the network since the source thinks that
     more bandwidth is available than there really is.

     When such an optimistic source selects its first path it will =
likely
     contain links that do not in reality have sufficient unreserved
     bandwidth. Therefore, the path is only established up to the link
     that does not have sufficient bandwidth. A notification message is
     formatted that contains the actual unreserved bandwidth for this
     blocking link which flows back toward the source, collapsing the
     partially created path as it goes. In addition, at every link that
     this notification traverses, the current unreserved bandwidth
     information for each corresponding link is appended to the vector =
of
     unreserved bandwidth along the path. In this manner, an accurate
     view of the slice through the network we are traversing is
     constructed. Eventually this message arrives back at the source
     node, where the vector is taken and used to temporarily override =
the
     topology database for route computations. This node has just =
learned
     from its mistake and is now slightly less optimistic with respect =
to
     the real network conditions.

     Path selection can be attempted again but this time the node will
     not make the same mistake it made the previous time. The link in
     question, at which rejection occurred the first time, will not even
     be eligible this time around, so a source route computation is
     guaranteed to produce a different path (or none). The same =
procedure
     may be repeated as many times as is necessary, each time learning
     from its mistakes, until eventually no paths remain in the source
     topology to the destination, or we actually find a path that works.

  Ashwood-Smith, et. al.       July  2000        [Page 3]
  Internet Draft      LSP Feedback with CR-LDP    July, 2000


     This tendency to converge either to a solution or determine that
     there is no solution is an important property of a routing system
     (it actually behaves a lot like a depth first search). This =
property
     is not present with flooding mechanisms alone since the source node
     must randomly hunt, or continually make the same mistakes, or abort
     until the next flood arrives.

     In addition to feeding back bandwidth on failure, we also recommend
     feedback on success. This has important consequences on our ability
     to spread load or to spill over to new links as existing links =
fill.
     It is true that spilling over to new links does not require =
feedback
     on success since we could simply wait for a feedback on failure, =
but
     we can achieve better load spreading earlier.

     Finally, when a path is torn down the release/withdraw messages =
also
     contain bandwidth information that can be fed back to override the
     source topology database. This is very important during failure
     scenarios where the links we need to use to reroute the path share
     common sub-segments with the failed path. Without the feedback, the
     common sub-segments may not indicate sufficient available bandwidth
     until we get a flood that may mean many seconds without a
     connection. With feedback at least we will be up to date with
     respect to available bandwidth up to the point of failure in the
     path. Also since failure involves many paths tearing down and re-
     establishing this is the time that it is most critical to have an
     accurate view.

     When preemption is being employed it is also extremely important
     that the topology database inconsistencies be small. If not, high
     setup priority LSPs may unnecessarily preempt lower holding =
priority
     LSPs to obtain bandwidth that, had they had a more up to date view
     of unreserved bandwidth, they would have been able to find
     elsewhere. Since preempted LSPs may in turn preempt other LSPs in a
     domino like effect, the results of such database inconsistencies =
can
     have wide reaching ripple like impacts. These feedback mechanisms
     help reduce these occurrences significantly.

     There are a number of network conditions where feedback shows its
     value. One can think of a constraint-based network as being in one
     of three conditions. The first is called ramp-up, this is when the
     rate of arriving reservations exceeds the rate of departing
     reservations. The second is called steady-state, this is when the
     rate of arriving reservations is about the same as the rate of
     departing reservations. Finally, the ramp-down condition is that
     which has a greater rate of departing reservations than arriving
     reservations.

     These three network conditions show distinctly different types of
     error in the topology databases. In particular an optimistic view =
of
     available bandwidth by a source node is characteristic of the ramp-
     up condition of a network. A pessimistic view of available =
bandwidth
     by a source node is characteristic of the ramp-down condition of a

  Ashwood-Smith, et. al.       July  2000        [Page 4]
  Internet Draft      LSP Feedback with CR-LDP    July, 2000


     network. If one plots the average error in the topology databases
     with respect to the real network for the three different network
     conditions, one will see the error slowly go positive during ramp
     up, slowly go negative during ramp down, and drift slowly around 0
     for the steady condition. The effect of flooding on this plot is to
     periodically snap the error back to 0 at flooding intervals. The
     effect of the feedback algorithm is to bring an optimistic error
     back to zero without having to wait for the flood interval. On
     average then, the feedback algorithm tends to halve the absolute
     error, keeping it mostly negative or pessimistic. This makes sense
     since a routing system will never give paths to links that it =
thinks
     do not have resources and as a result its pessimistic view of the
     world stays that way until it gets a flood.  This relieves the IGP
     updates of the most urgent requirement of flooding when bandwidth =
is
     consumed. Availability of new bandwidth occurs when paths are
     released or new links become available.  New links are accompanied
     by floods. Significant releases of bandwidth can be broadcast at
     relatively low frequencies in the order of several minutes with
     little operational impact.

     Extensive operational experience with this feedback protocol in
     proprietary Nortel Networks (pre-standard CR-LDP) products has =
shown
     it to work very well for networks up to 1000 nodes with significant
     flooding intervals damped to several minutes. Without this =
protocol,
     these networks would block setups for up to several minutes. With
     this protocol, the blocking in most cases is reduced to a small
     number of retry attempts which is usually sub-second depending
     mostly on the propagation delays in the network.

     These feedback algorithms have been particularly beneficial in =
cases
     of failure recovery during which the network is in a sudden
     condition of ramp-up. Since a large number of reservations must be
     remade, it is highly likely that we will exceed the limits of
     certain key links in the network. Without feedback, the rerouting
     must block until a flood arrives telling us of the situation at
     those key links at which time rerouting can continue. With =
feedback,
     the rerouting simply continues until a feedback indicates that a
     link is full. In addition since reservation-balancing algorithms =
are
     also often used, feedback allows the balancing algorithms to make
     better distribution decisions based on immediate feedback.

     We have also explored through simulation and implementation a
     variety of mechanisms to deal with the pessimistic error in the
     database. One simple proposal is to use selective forgetting. In
     this algorithm, a reserved bandwidth value slowly drops back to =
zero
     over a relatively short time interval. The theory being that you
     shift the network back to an optimistic state (by forgetting your
     pessimism) where the feedback algorithm will again correctly
     operate. These algorithms have not shown any great advantage and =
are
     actually non-optimal when the error is purely optimistic.



  Ashwood-Smith, et. al.       July  2000        [Page 5]
  Internet Draft      LSP Feedback with CR-LDP    July, 2000


     Other algorithmic permutations we have explored include such
     variations as:

     Feeding-back to all intermediate nodes, information learned from
     control messages upstream of that intermediate node.

     Feeding back in both directions so that both the source and
     destination node's databases stay synchronized.

     Allowing a request to continue to its destination despite there
     being insufficient bandwidth at some intermediate hop. Then,
     rejecting the request with a full bandwidth vector slice all the =
way
     to the destination instead of just to the point of rejection.

     Our simulations have not show significant benefits relative to the
     simpler algorithm proposed here. However, it is an interesting
     research topic to explore and quantify the different feedback
     algorithms and their impacts on blocking times so we do not want to
     discourage the interested reader from exploring these concepts more
     fully.

  2. Adding feedback TLVs to CR-LDP

     Two new TLVs are optionally added to the CR-LDP mapping,
     notification, and withdraw messages. There may be an arbitrary
     number of these TLV in any order or position in the message. It is
     recommended that they be placed such that they can be read and
     applied to override the topology database by scanning the message
     forwards and walking the topology database from the point where the
     last link feedback TLV left off.

     Each TLV consists of the 8 unreserved bandwidth values for each
     holding priority 0 through 7 as IEEE floating point numbers (the
     units are unidirectional bytes per second). Following this are the
     IP addresses of the two ends of the interface. Two TLVs are
     possible, one for IPV4 and one for IPV6 addressing of the link.

     Note: the feedback TLVs may also optionally be included in query or
     query-reply messages in response to bandwidth update queries from =
an
     LER. Details of this mechanism are provided in [QUERY].

  2.1 Bandwidth directionality considerations

     The order of the two addresses in the feedback TLV implies the
     direction in which the bandwidth is available. For example if the
     first address is A and the second address is B the bandwidth is
     unreserved in the A to B direction.

     It is possible for an implementation to provide both the A to B
     direction and the B to A direction as part of the same feedback
     message. This is done by simply including a TLV with A,B as the
     addresses of the link and a different TLV with B,A as the addresses

     of the link. Should CR-LDP evolve to be able to support bi-
     directional traffic flow and reservations it is expected that bi-
     directional feedback would also be implemented via this mechanism.

  5. Detailed Procedures

     On receipt of a withdraw, notification, query-reply, or mapping
     message pertaining to a request made by CR-LDP (as opposed to LDP),
     a feedback TLV of the appropriate format for the interface over
     which the message was received is inserted into the message before
     forwarding it back to the source of the request. The 8 bandwidth
     values are filled in with the outgoing bandwidth available on this
     interface for each of the 8 holding priorities in bytes per second.
     Finally the interface's address and far end address are placed in
     the TLV.



  Ashwood-Smith, et. al.       July  2000        [Page 8]
  Internet Draft      LSP Feedback with CR-LDP    July, 2000


     On receipt of a CR-LDP request message which cannot be satisfied. A
     notification message is formatted normally. The 8-bandwidth values
     are filled in with the outgoing bandwidth available on this
     interface for each of the 8 holding priorities in bytes per second.
     Finally, the interface's address and far end address are placed in
     the TLV.

     On receipt of a CR-LDP request message which has been satisfied and
     which results in a mapping being generated. No feedback TLV is =
added
     since the previous node will insert the proper TLV when it receives
     the reverse flowing mapping.

     When an LDP session goes down either because of a link failure,
     TCP/IP timeout, keepalive timeout, adjacency timeout etc. Other LDP
     sessions in the module must generate either notification, withdraw
     or release messages for LSPs that traversed the LDP in question. In
     the case that the LSP was created by CR-LDP and that a withdraw or
     notification is about to be generated, LDP will insert a feedback
     TLV for the interface which just went down that contains 0's for =
all
     the bandwidth values and attach to it the proper interface
     addresses.

     When the LDP session that originated a CR-LDP label request =
receives
     a mapping that contains feedback TLV's it is recommended that these
     bandwidth values supersede the corresponding values in the node's
     topology database for source route computations. Doing so permits
     this node to immediately synchronize its topology with respect to
     the real bandwidth reservations along the path that was just
     established.

     When the LDP session that originated a CR-LDP label request =
receives
     a notification that contains feedback TLV's it is recommended that
     these bandwidth values supersede the corresponding values in the
     node's topology database for source route computations. Doing so
     permits this node to immediately synchronize its topology with
     respect to the real bandwidth reservations along the path that just
     failed to establish. The source node may then re-compute a path
     knowing that the computation will take into account the failure if
     it was caused by the topology database being in error with respect
     to the real network state.

     6. IGP considerations

     Implementations MUST NOT permit bandwidth information learned by
     this feedback mechanism to be re-flooded via IS-IS, OSPF or any
     other IGP. The bandwidth information learned via these feedback
     mechanisms is to be used ONLY for source route computations on the
     nodes that are directly on the path that fed back the bandwidth.
     Normally only the source node of the LSP, or perhaps intermediate
     gateway nodes will use this information. It is however permitted =
for
     intermediate nodes that are forwarding this feedback information to
     store it for their own local source route computations.

  Ashwood-Smith, et. al.       July  2000        [Page 9]
  Internet Draft      LSP Feedback with CR-LDP    July, 2000


     There is a possibility of a race condition between the bandwidth
     information that is received via feedback and that which is =
received
     via a normal IGP flood. While there may be a discrepancy between =
the
     two, both are within a few 100 milliseconds of being correct.
     Solutions to allow us to determine which information is most up to
     date (say by adding a sequence number) do not add any significant
     benefit. Constraint based, source routed systems will always have
     errors in the local topology database with respect to the real
     network. We can reduce these errors through reduced flooding
     intervals, path following feedback and selective flooding but we
     cannot realistically reduce the errors below the second or so =
range.
     As a result propagation delay order race conditions are noise with
     respect to the average expected errors. An implementation SHOULD
     therefore consider the most recently received update (IGP or
     feedback) as being the most up to date.

  7. Future considerations

     Constraint based routing systems such as CR-LDP will in the future
     offer other forms of constraint than simply reserved bandwidth.
     Actual utilization levels, current congestion levels, number of
     discrete channels/wavelengths available etc. are all possible
     constraints that change rapidly and which must be taken into
     consideration when computing a route. It is expected that this
     mechanism will be used to feedback these and other new forms of =
link
     constraining data.

  8. RSVP consideration

     Nothing precludes the use of such feedback mechanisms with a =
similar
     TLV structure in the RSVP Resv and other reverse flowing messages
     although repeatedly applying a fed-back should be avoided since it
     increases the race condition window with flooded LSPs. This could =
be
     accomplished by a simple rule that only permits fed-back =
information
     on the original RESV, not on subsequent refreshes.

such as=20

  these<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp; attributes and it can drift substantially with =

of the=20
  major problems for a constraint based routing system =

  challenges. In smaller<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp; networks, one can resort to =

  frequency flooding but this<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp; obviously does not=20

Hi Guys:

According to our draft.. our approach to this problem is:

	1. use a primary criteria to find a path 
	2. if it fails due to any reasons (unavailability of the
	   resources is being one of them) then use the crankback
           from the previous ABR by removing the links that are
	   failed. Note that we donot have to consider the
	   convergence problem in this case.
	3. If there are no other paths with the same characteistic
	   then use the secondary criteria to identify the
	   best path.

No links attached to the convergence and playing with the 
timers. Although i agree that changes in the ABW need to 
be propagated sooner.

Cheers,

sudheer

Hi Sudheer:
  Your draft/idea sounds like a good alternative. But if I understand
darek's spec. They are trying to adapt the topology to bandwidth changes as
quickly as possible so that the source routing engines can give the best
possible answer.  I agree most solutions still have that level of
inaccuracy, cause the data gathering mechanism (link state flooding) is much
slower than the execution (signalling) mechanism.

Regards,
Ben

 | If you can't mix dual and non-dual routers in the same area and
 | have routing work for the non-OSI protocols supported (IP and IPv6),
 | then how can it work at Level 2 if all the Level 2 routers do not
 | support all the same non-OSI protocols?  It seems to have the same
 | problem - routes will be computed through routers that do not support
 | the protocol of the data, just because the link costs are lowest.
 | 
 | Am I missing something?


If one Really Wanted to do this, then one would have to SPF independently
for each protocol.  

Plus, because adjacency information is not carried on a per-protocol basis,
you would still have the restriction that any link between two routers
supporting a protocol would have to have the protocol working on that
link.  So for example, the link between two IPv6 routers had better be
configured for IPv6.

This seems like more complexity than it's worth.  After all, there's only
one important network layer.  ;-)

Timestamping is a fine idea but in our proprietary system we simply wrote any
learned  information into a database,
whether the information was from feedback or flooding. You are right that
more-up-to-date feedback information
may be then overwritten by older flooding information but in that case we may
simply re-learn newer information via feedback when needed so we never
implemented timestamping.

All
 
Just to add one thing to the time stamping idea. We do not consider it
necessary since 
the database is still really maintained by the IGP flood. (Which does not
use timestamps
but sequence numbers). The feedback is more targeted information that is
used in the 
interim. Although there are small windows of opportunities for the feedback
to be miss ordered 
this is still leagues ahead of not having feedback. By the way, the most
likely misordering is an
old LSP (LSA) announcing more bandwidth than actually exists and overwriting
a feedback message
that has reported less bandwidth. This could result in a LSP signaling that
has to learn from feedback 
again. (We prefer to deal with the timing issues not pray they will not
happen!).
Relying on timestamps or sequence numbers for feedback requires
synchronization between peers 
and designers of IGPs have way more years of experience and code to deal
with this.

the CR/LDP or RSVP-TE new TLV have a time stamp identifying when the 
reservation denial and bandwidth sample was taken from the rejecting LSR. As

the message is returned to the ingress LSR its bandwidth will be overwritten

into the linkstate database, since its the most up to date information. 

I can see a race condition where IGP converging link state information might

have older data then Reservation Release/Withdrawl messages containing the 
same (feedback) data. Thus its possible for the ingress LSR IGP to 
momentarily over-write newer bandwidth with bad/older bandwidth into the 
ingress LSR linkstate database. Ingress LSR IGP should check the timestamp 
in the database with its current LSA/LSP packet and only update the 
bandwidth value if it has the newer timestamp in the LSA/LSP packet.

Timestamping is a fine idea but in our proprietary system we simply wrote
any learned  information into a database, 
whether the information was from feedback or flooding. You are right that
more-up-to-date feedback information 
may be then overwritten by older flooding information but in that case we
may  simply re-learn newer information via feedback when needed so we never
implemented timestamping.

Of course, there is really only one important network layer, IP,
but it has taken over the only routing protocol that CLNP ever had :-)

So, it's most prevalent use is in IP-only networks, or purely dual
domains.  In fact, without the SPF per-protocol (assuming there were
some information in the LSPs that they could use to imply the missing
Supported Protocol field), a "mixed" domain is a misconfiguration,
just as a mixed area is.

  Just to add one thing to the time stamping idea. We do not consider it =

  =20
  I only mentioned timestamp cause I did not think we can use the IGP =
sequence number as it is picked for
  IGP flooding for LSP signalling. The timestamp is only relevent to the =
router that is originating the LSA/LSP=20
  so there is no synchronization requirements between peers/neighbors.  =
I think eventually the IGP flooding mechanism=20
  will adjust to the correct value, but in the interim the routers in =
the domain could drift of actual capacities and thus
  create more LSP reservation failures. It would be nice to cover this =
hole no matter how small with a solution in
  the specification and leave it up to the implementor to choose. I =
guess since you guys went this far in trying to close
  down the inaccuracies between the routers in the domain.

Folks,

About 99% of this conversation is about signaling and crankback and not
about IS-IS.  Could we take it to a more appropriate mailing list, please?

Thanks,

Tony

I am perplexed by your statement. This spreads across 
several groups and we get disjoint consensus. 

From an IS-IS standpoint you should be concerned what scales 
and what does not. Feedback is in IS-IS's best interest. 
Are you suggesting anything that is accepted in MPLS just 
be rubber stamped in IS-IS?

Don

Don, 

	Going forward,could you kindly send mail to IETF lists 
using plain-text ASCII rather than some fancy format as you
just did ?

	A lot of us are NOT using MS-Outlook and at least some 
folks are on low-bandwidth connectivity, so using IETF 
standard US-ASCII (or ISO-8859-N) in text/plain format is 
customary on all IETF mailing lists.

Thanks very much,

Subject: [Isis-wg] DIS election question???

Hi,
I just have question on DIS election. Assuming, an unintended DIS(less 
capacity or something) is elected, due to misconfiguration of priority or by 
virtue of its mac address. And that, it is unable to bear the load  and 
submits to another DIS (less priority or low MAC address) in the next DRHold 
Interval. When its less loaded, is elected again as the DIS and the ping 
pong between DISs continue. Is there a mechanism by which the DIS which is 
stable can stick around by distributed/centralised mechanism for a certain 
period?
Any insight would be helpful.

Thanks
Vikram

Use the priority mechanism.
