Hannes -

Here is a more complete reply to the points you have raised.

By way of preface, assume that an MI-capable router will use a different
system ID for non-zero IID instances than it does for the instance
associated with IID #0. We don't state this in the draft, but it is not
prohibited either. In consideration of the points you raise, it is
probably a good practice - and a future version of the draft will
discuss this.

What this means is that even in the contexts you raise below, in the
unlikely event a legacy router receives an IS-IS PDU associated w a
non-zero IID, it will always be seen as having originated from a system
which is unreachable in the IID #0 topology. Therefore, such a PDU will
not alter routing behavior in the IID #0 topology.

More detailed responses inline.

The window of opportunity here is the time between the "strange event"
and the receipt of the first hello (which, due to 3way handshake logic,
will cause the adjacency to be reinitialized). Should a non-zero IID LSP
or SNP PDU arrive, it could find its way into the legacy router's LSPDB.
However as the originating system will be unreachable (due to the
different system ID used for non-zero) this will not affect routing in
IID #0 topology.

It is also worth mentioning that the same sort of event could happen
today even without MI extensions. For example, if A has a neighbor B on
a P2P. The "strange event" happens and A is now connected to C on the
same interface. A could receive an LSP from C prior to the reception of
an IIH. This LSP could be added to A's LSPDB. If C were in a different
area, this might not be appropriate.=20

So MI does not introduce a new risk here - and with the use a different
system ID for non-zero instances the dangers are certainly no greater
than in current deployments.

Your answer to a follow up question from me indicates that we agree that
incoming multicast PDUs pass through a lower level address filter before
being delivered to IS-IS code. Therefore, the use of a new multicast
destination address will prevent legacy implementations from ever seeing
an IS-IS PDU associated with a non-zero IID which is sent on a LAN.

Your concern seems to be that in order to support MI extensions, some
implementations might have to modify hard coded filter logic which might
be part of the kernel code. So this isn't an interoperability concern,
but rather a concern on your part that the MI implementation cost in
some cases could be higher than you would like.

I invite other folks on the list to indicate whether this is a
significant concern.

I stand by my previous comments regarding a new protocol version.

Spinning a new protocol version quite rightly demands a higher set of
requirements than is generally applied to releasing a new version of a
software implementation. Given that this would be the first new version
in the history of the IS-IS protocol, it is reasonable to assume that
before taking such a step we would solicit requests for other changes
which might be incorporated at the same time. (I am sure many of us have
a few things which we might like to see...) Based on the experience of
other protocols, I am guessing a few years from now we might have
reached agreement. Of course, noting that in this case the base spec is
owned by ISO (not IETF), it might take a bit longer. :-)

It is legitimate to debate whether MI can be supported in an
interoperable way in the current protocol version. If the collective
wisdom of the WG is "no", then I think MI gets thrown onto the pile of
things that shouldn't be done now.

MI solves the same problem as MT, but it allows for a greater degree of
fault isolation. This has been a significant concern for some in the
community. YMMV

yes, this is the first motivation: having a router with
different and isolated routing instances but sharing one
or more interfaces. Today, MT doesn't allow this since
everything is in the same LSP/LSDB/Flooding.

This of course doesn't mean MI should be a replacement
for MT... it's just an answer to a specific requirement.

the draft explicitly says that a MI-router not seeing
the appropriate IID in received  hello packets will not
form any adjacency. No bouncing.

LEs proposal looks good to me as using different SysIDs
fix the misconfig issue you raised.

Please reread Section 3.4.2 of the draft. We have taken pains to prevent
such behavior. I agree than any proposal that introduced the possibility
of adjacency flapping is not acceptable - we have not done so.

On P2P we make sure we do not send non-zero PDUs to a legacy system.
Om LANs we use the different mcast addresses so legacy routers do not
see the non-zero PDUs.

For the corner case on P2P when for a brief period (due to APS
switchover or some other event which changes the wiring on the fly) we
require different system IDs for the non-zero instance to make sure any
non-zero LSP which might be "leaked" into a legacy router in such a case
is not used for forwarding.

Note that in such a case as soon as the MI capable router receives a
legacy IIH from the neighbor it will both tear down any existing
adjacency on that interface AND subsequently only send instance zero
PDUS on that interface - so the window during which a non-zero LSP might
be sent is brief - and because of the different system ID it does not
affect routing/forwarding in the instance 0 topology.

Hannes,

my concern is that a misconfiguration should not cause
permanent/long loops/blackholes and Les proposal ensure
this.

A misconfigured network having adj bouncing is something
we could expect... even if I don't think it's the case in
mi-isis draft (as Les explained).

Similar issue happens when you configure the same SysID
to different routers (LSP bouncing).

Mistakes don't come for free...

Hi All,

These are the minutes from today's meeting.  Please take a look and  
let me know if anything needs correction.  Else, the chairs will post  
them as is.

Thanks!

Meeting Notes
ISIS WG
2006-07-11

Document Status:
- Docs progressing
- Recharter in progress
- Still operating under the old rules until things officially change.
- v6 standardization process a bit held up because of a comment from the
IESG that it needs more than a ref to the ISIS spec.  WG chairs are going to
push back on this, since this is deployed and interoperable.

Stefano Previdi
draft-previdi-isis-mi-mt-01.txt

ISIS Extension, new TLV, used to identify the instance of ISIS the packet
belongs to.  The idea is to have multiple instances of isis with full 
separation.  True ships in the night.

Dino's suggestion from the last meeting: where you have MI and non-MI capable
addresses, to use a different set of MAC's for multicast.  This was documented
in the draft.

Hannes suggestion: Work on PDU version number.  This is practically difficult
since the IETF does not "own" the ISIS spec. 

Some discussion on the draft's solution to this interop issue between
MI and non-MI routers.

Alternate approaches were investigated.

IID TLV seems more straightforward to implemetn and support.

No major interop issues here.

Next draft will incorporate the results of this.

Chris: We need to do some more due dilligence on the assumption of interop.  For
example an interop report.  The reason is we're counting on old implementations
working this way.

Stefano: Okay...

Unidentified Speaker: Is this a WG item??

Dave: This is on the recharter list.

Unidentified Speaker: Do we have to wait?

Dave: We're treating this as if it were a WG item.

Mohan Nanduri: This is a good thing for operators.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Russ White: HMAC-SHA Crypto Authenticaiton Draft.

No sequence number, so vulnerable to replay.
Slightly less vulnerable
- wrong packets are silently discarded.
- works over l2
...

All we're doing is updating from HMAC-MD5 to a newer, more secure algorithm.

HMAC-MD5: although no published attacks, suspected to be vulnerable.

New Proposal: TLV 10, CRYPTO_AUTH - value 2, to add a new, expandable value
for example: SHA-1, SHA-256, etc.

Allows easy extension with new auth algorithms.

Allows for KEY-ID, which eases troubleshooting.

Would like to make it a WG item.

Dave: Let's take a poll.

Room: NO OBJECTIONS to making the draft a WG doc.

Dave: We'll take it up as part of the recharter.

Dave: What's happening in OSPF?

Acee: We're working on OSPF over IPSec for a while.  I'm convinced that there
may be a good argument for a mechanism such as this, but we need to take
this up with the group.

Dave: We may have a generic keychain object draft soon, that we can leverage
that for both OSPF and ISIS.  This will probably be in the rtgwg.

Dave: As a reminder to the group, we cannot do ISIS over IPsec, since it is
not IP.

------------------------------------------------------------------              

Les Ginsberg
Simplified Extension of LSP Space for ISIS

Max size on LSP's (256 * 1492).  Not a practical limit for routing, but when
you add a mess of non-routing info, and you add in multi-topology info, you
could exceed the space.  This was addressed in RFC 3786 a few years ago, 
saying you could have alias system id's, and have a new full set of info
for each alias.  

To achieve the full flexibilty, you need to use mode 2 in 3786, which is
not compatible with legacy routers.  This is what we're trying to address 
in this draft.

New proposal: 

- Utilizes multiple system ID's and Alias System ID TLV like
RFC 3786.

- Defines new TLV to carry non-routing info.

- Define rules for considering non-routing info for the same object 
when multiple TLV's are required.

Some discussion on the changes from the previous draft based on comments.

In the extended LSP's you MUST have:

- Neighbor to the originating system, having a metric of maxmetric-1
MT support for all topologieS)

- Area Address(es) - same as the Originating System

- OL, ATT, P bits MUST BE ZERO

- MT TLV (299) listed as necessary based on leaf node information.

Normal LSP's MUST HAVE:

- neighbor to the virutual IS with a metric of 0 (MT support - for all topos)

- one other requirement.

Extended LSPs MUST NOT HAVE

- No neighbors other than to the originating system
- TLV's which MAY NOT have...

Extended LSP's MAY HAVE (new info):
- Leaf Information (avoid if possible - because it increases the set of LSP's
and cause a new SPF)

New TLV's
- Alias TLV (24)
- IS Neighbor Attibute (23) - identical to TLV 22
- MT IS NEighbor Attirbute (223) - identical to TLV 222
Neighbor attribute TLV's do NOT establish a neighbor relationship!

IS Neighbor Attribute TLV's
- may appear in any LSP
- handling multiple TLV's wi came context (eg link)
 - if no conflicts: TLV's are additive
 - if conflicts
   - Normal LSP's
   - Extended LSP with lowest system-id

Overcomes 255 byte limit.

Example of how this would work:
Router A: Original LSP, advertise Max BW
        : Extended LSP, advertise Max BW + GMPLS Link Protection
If Max BW is the same, then add GMPLS Link Protection, if conflict (such
as different Max BW values, use lowest system-id tiebreaker)

Advantages of new proposal:
- Single Operating Mode
- No Change to handling of LSP's in SPF
- Backwards compatible
- TLV "overflow" (>255/object) is easily accomodated.

Limits:
- Requries support foe extended LSP's in support of non-routing info extensions
in the future
- Requries new TLV for TE info has to be supported.

Why?

Existence of RFC 3786 may lead to deployments
Alternative Solution will then be more costly/difficult.

Dave: At last IETF, a poll indicated 0 implementations or deployments

Les: Did do a MList poll - got one response, but only 3786 mode 1, not mode 2
so it is is compatable.

hmmm don't you sense that I believe mi-isis solves a clear
and simple problem in a simple way with minimal protocol
extension that do not require massive ietf/itu negotiation ?

I'm afraid if you go that path you will collect many other
requirements and good reasons to incorporate other changes...

I'm not sure it's a good idea for this specific case. Again,
we are fixing a simple problem with a simple solution...

but I believe the concern you reported has been addressed

no offense here ... it is just the nature of the change
(one TLV affecting interpretation of all the others)
that is unprecedented of IS-IS related protocol work so far,
and that was raising red flags to me.

i hope its just paranoia on my side and the potential
unwanted MI fallout will eventually turn out to be
"simple" fixable as well.

lets say we have massive flooding in instance #1 plus an APS event.
then we end up getting a lot of instance #1 LSPs getting installed
in instance zero LSDB, which (as you have pointed out correct)
will be recognized as "disconnected" during SPF computation
and not consume any forwarding state. however it will consume LSDB storage
space and more worse cause confusion on the network operator side,
as you have "zombie" LSPs from another instance that potentially
may hang around for more than 18 hours.

i know a lot of customers who still have heavy-APS deployments and that
artifact of MI is not nice and IHMO should be avoided.

there is a window of opportunity [between an APS switchover and until the
next regular hello is sent] that some LSPs may slip through and unless
you choose a dead-sure way of encoding MI extensions for leagcy systems.

-----

some comment also to the pdu-version 2 usage. - since its nearly the same
set of people that drive IS-IS protocol evolution both in the ITU and IETF
what is the practical hazzle of just adding a note like "because of the non-incremental
nature of the MI extension we demand use of the IS-IS PDU version field codepoint 2"
in the draft text and send a note to the ITU liason ? -

allocating two well-known functional MAC adresses requires a level of coordination
between two standard-bodies as well.

In order for "massive flooding" to occur, we would have to have the
following set of circumstances:

a)Router MI-1 has just formed an adjacency with router MI-2 (which has
just started) on circuit MI-1/1 and is in the process of dumping its
Instance #1 LSDB to MI-2.

NOTE: Alternatively, we could hypothesize a massive network disruption
coincidental with Step c below.
=20
b)Router L (a legacy router) has an adjacency with some router (identity
unimportant) on circuit L/1.

c)Early in the process of the dump mentioned in "a", an APS event occurs
which causes circuits MI-1/1 and L/1 to be connected.
=20
d)A number of seconds remain before either MI-1 or L will transmit an
IIH.

If all of these circumstances occur, then yes - it is possible for a
significant number of Instance #1 LSPs to be added to the LSDB in Router
L - though we both agree that they will be seen as orphans and will not
affect routing/forwarding.

This is still undesirable of course - but there are the following points
to consider:

1)Orphaned LSPs occur in the LSDB in today's world - for example,
whenever a router is removed from the network, it is highly likely that
its old LSPs remain in the network until they age out. In cases of
orderly shutdown, it is possible for a router to purge its LSPs before
"departing", but as a practical matter this often does not occur - and
isn't possible in cases of unexpected failure.

2)The length of the "window of opportunity" above can be shortened
through the use of fast failure detection mechanisms (e.g. BFD)

3)The undesirable consumption of LSDB space can be prevented by the use
of authentication - where the password for Instance #0 is different than
that for non-zero instances.

I think our opposing positions on this are clear - so I will not repeat
myself - except to once again invite others to respond.

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 HMAC SHA Cryptographic Authentication 
	Author(s)	: M. Bhatia, et al.
	Filename	: draft-ietf-isis-hmac-sha-00.txt
	Pages		: 9
	Date		: 2006-7-17
	
This document proposes an extension to IS-IS to allow the use of any 
cryptographic authentication algorithm in addition to the already 
documented authentication schemes, described in the base    
specification and RFC 3567.   
        
Although this document has been written specifically for using MAC 
construct along with the SHA family of cryptographic hash functions, 
the method described in this document is generic and can be used to 
extend IS-IS to support any cryptographic hash function in the 
future.

Hi,
 
This draft follows the ISIS HMAC SHA authentication draft that was presented in Montreal.
 
This document lists down the various authentication schemes and algorithms that IS-IS can use to authenticate its PDUs. Further to ensure interop between different
implementations, it specifies a set of MUST/SHOULD/MAY support auth schemes/algos to ensure that there is atleast 1 auth algo/scheme that all implementations support.

This is basically an equivalent of RFC 4305 for IS-IS. 
 
The nature of cryptography is that new algorithms surface continuously and existing algorithms are continuously attacked. An algorithm believed to be strong today may be demonstrated to be weak tomorrow.  Given this, the choice of mandatory-to-implement algorithm should be conservative so as to minimize the likelihood of it being compromised quickly. 
    
Also, we need to recognize that the mandatory-to-implement algorithm(s) may need to change over time to adapt to the changing world. For this reason, the selection of mandatory-to-implement algorithms should not be included in the base IS-IS specification. This way it is only this document that needs to get updated, whenever there is a need to update the status of mandatory-to-implement authentication algorithms or if some authentication algorithms are deprecated/obsoleted.
 
A URL for this Internet-Draft is:

Jack,

These definitions have been used in RFCs (4305 and 4307), internet drafts
and the community since quite some time and I don't think there should be
any problem there. In cryptography, algorithms believed to be secure today
may get broken any time tomorrow and we need to continuously deprecate such
algorithms. Thus an algorithm marked as MUST may not always remain a MUST
and it may need to be demoted if there are weaknesses found there.

Hope this helps.

Manav

# Manav,

# Would your definitions of new RFC 2119 language be acceptable to the

# making sure that flies with the IESG (or the powers to be).

# Subject: [Isis-wg] Cryptographic Algorithm Implementation 
# Requirements for IS-IS
# 
# Hi,
# 
# This draft follows the ISIS HMAC SHA authentication draft that was
# presented in Montreal.
# 
# This document lists down the various authentication schemes and
# algorithms that IS-IS can use to authenticate its PDUs. Further to
# ensure interop between different
# implementations, it specifies a set of MUST/SHOULD/MAY support auth
# schemes/algos to ensure that there is atleast 1 auth algo/scheme that
# all implementations support.
# 
# This is basically an equivalent of RFC 4305 for IS-IS.
# 
# The nature of cryptography is that new algorithms surface continuously
# and existing algorithms are continuously attacked. An algorithm
# believed to be strong today may be demonstrated to be weak tomorrow.
# Given this, the choice of mandatory-to-implement algorithm should be
# conservative so as to minimize the likelihood of it being compromised
# quickly.
# 
# Also, we need to recognize that the mandatory-to-implement
# algorithm(s) may need to change over time to adapt to the changing
# world. For this reason, the selection of mandatory-to-implement
# algorithms should not be included in the base IS-IS specification.
# This way it is only this document that needs to get updated, whenever
# there is a need to update the status of mandatory-to-implement
# authentication algorithms or if some authentication algorithms are
# deprecated/obsoleted.
#

# Thanks,
# Manav
