Folks-

 OK, not much additional support on the list, but my overall
 impression based on what we saw here previously and my off-line
 conversations is that we should put these two topics in the charter
 (with the caveat that IP-only interworking will be addressed after
 the basic mechanisms) and shut the door for now.

 Stay tuned, I'll be sending the updated charter tonight.

Alex

Folks-

 Below is the updated charter for your review. The diff can
 be found at:
   http://psg.com/~zinin/ietf/ppvpn/l2vpn-diff-00-01.html

 The milestones are rather sketchy and may need some more
 adjustment.

Layer 2 Virtual Private Networks (l2vpn)

Chairs: <under discussion>

Area Director(s):
   Thomas Narten <narten@us.ibm.com>
   Erik Nordmark <nordmark@sun.com>

Area Advisor:
   Thomas Narten <narten@us.ibm.com>

Technical Advisor:
   Alex Zinin <zinin@psg.com>

Description of Working Group:

This working group is responsible for defining and specifying a
limited number of solutions for supporting provider-provisioned
layer-2 virtual private networks (L2VPNs).

The WG is responsible for standardization of the following solutions:

1. Virtual Private LAN Service--L2 service that emulates LAN
   across an IP and an MPLS-enabled IP network, allowing standard
   Ethernet devices communicate with each other as if they were
   connected to a common LAN segment.
 
2. Virtual Private Wire Service--L2 service that provides L2
   point-to-point connectivity (e.g. Frame Relay DLCI, ATM VPI/VCI,
   point-to-point Ethernet) across an IP and an MPLS-enabled IP network.

3. IP-only L2 VPNs--L2 service across an IP and an MPLS-enabled
   IP network, allowing standard IP devices to communicate with each
   other as if they were connected to a common LAN segment or a point-
   to-point circuit.

The WG will address intra-AS scenarios only at this point (other
scenarios will be considered for inclusion in the updated charter when 
the current one is completed.)
   
As a general rule, the WG will not create new protocols, but will 
provide functional requirements for extensions of the existing 
protocols that will be discussed in the protocol-specific WGs.
The group will review proposed protocol extensions for L2VPNs before 
they are recommended to appropriate protocol-specific WGs.
As a specific example, this WG will not define new encapsulation
mechanism, but will use those defined in the PWE3 WG.

The WG will work on the following items. Adding new work items 
will require rechartering.

1. Discovery of PEs participating in L2 service, and
   topology of required connectivity

2. Signaling of pseudo-wire and service parameters

3. Solution documents (providing the framework for a specific
   solution, should include info on how discovery, signaling,
   and encaps work together, include security, AS as a separate
   document)

4. MIBs
   
5. L2VPN-specific OAM extensions--extensions to existing OAM
   solutions for VPLS and VPWS.

6. Interworking of IP devices connected to an IP-only L2 VPN using
   dissimilar attachment circuits. This topic will be explored only
   after the basic L2VPN services (VPWS, VPLS, and IP L2VPN) are 
   defined.

Where necessary, the WG will coordinate its activities with IEEE 802.1
   
Milestones (optimistic):

JUL 2003  Submit L2 requirements to IESG for publication as Informational RFC
JUL 2003  Submit L2 framework to IESG for publication as Informational RFC
JUL 2003  Identify VPLS and VPWS solutions for the WG

Alex,
Similar to emulated LAN service (that you have defined in the L2VPN
charter), I think it would be useful to define the service (the problem
being solved) being specified here instead of stating the solution
(IPLS).

Thanks

I think it should be:
 
"2. Signaling for the purpose of establishing l2vpns"
 
or along these lines...
 
Signaling of pseudo-wire is already covered in PWE3
(for PW setup and maintenance)...

Noticed that in the l2vpn charter:

Needs to be taken out (must be copy and paste

Cheng-Yin,

  This is what I tried to do. From the updated charter:

> 3. IP-only L2 VPNs--L2 service across an IP and an MPLS-enabled
>    IP network, allowing standard IP devices to communicate with each
>    other as if they were connected to a common LAN segment or a point-
>    to-point circuit.
...
> 6. Interworking of IP devices connected to an IP-only L2 VPN using
>    dissimilar attachment circuits. This topic will be explored only
>    after the basic L2VPN services (VPWS, VPLS, and IP L2VPN) are 
>    defined.

That should map to IP-only L2VPNs. Let's make it

JAN 2004  Submit IP-only L2VPN solution documents to IESG

Alex,

Could you clarify the "MPLS-enabled IP network" expression
used in the charter in different places? Why not just mention
MPLS network (which implies IP anyway)? (I am not aware of
existence of MPLS-enabled non-IP network). Something in mind? 

Hamid.

"MPLS-enable IP network" is intended to mean "an IP network that
supports MPLS functionality".

The main idea behind "across an IP and an MPLS-enabled IP network" is
to say that the services should be able to work across pure-IP as well
as MPLS/IP networks.

Do you have some concerns?

Alex

Okay. Maybe to be more accurate the charter should mention
"Non-MPLS enabled IP network" (for pure IP) and 
MPLS-enabled IP network (which includes MPLS, and IP)...
(I won't insist on that though...)

> Do you have some concerns?

No. It was just a clarification. Thanks.
 
Hamid.

Agree.  Without actually specifying a particular solution, it may be that the
signaling for l2vpns rides over the same signaling used for setting up the PWs,
and in that sense, qualifies the PW signaling.  That would tie in well with
using PWs as defined by PWE3.

It seems that the current text reflects the idea, and I'd rather limit
the changes, as the text we started with was reviewed within the IESG.
So, I guess I'll take you up on "I won't insist" ;)

OK, how about "Signaling of l2vpn service parameters"?

L2VPNers,

I've put a few questions into the updated version of the l2vpn charter,
background is some wg chair experiences, so it is at this point rather
formalistic issues. The kind of stuff a wg chair will ask him- or
herself when approached by people wanting to do (not to do) certain
things at a specific point in time.

Note: at this time I'm still playing catch up and is not through all
my mail and haven read this thread to the end, Soit is possible that
I'm knocking in open doors. In that case just ignore.

Layer 2 Virtual Private Networks (l2vpn)

Chairs: <under discussion>

Area Director(s):
    Thomas Narten <narten@us.ibm.com>
    Erik Nordmark <nordmark@sun.com>

Area Advisor:
    Thomas Narten <narten@us.ibm.com>

Technical Advisor:
    Alex Zinin <zinin@psg.com>

Description of Working Group:

This working group is responsible for defining and specifying a
limited number of solutions

Qustion: What is a limited number of solutions? Understanding that
it is not possible to give an exact number, there is nevertehless
a need to understand what the limitations are. A 100 is still liomited,
but so is 1 or 2.

for supporting provider-provisioned
layer-2 virtual private networks (L2VPNs).

The WG is responsible for standardization of the following solutions:

1. Virtual Private LAN Service--L2 service that emulates LAN
    across an IP and an MPLS-enabled IP network, allowing standard
    Ethernet devices communicate with each other as if they were
    connected to a common LAN segment.

Question: Since there are no MPLS enabled networks that are not IP
           networks (control by an IP routing protocól), it is an open
           issue how to read this.

           Should it be read as:
           a. one solution for IP networks
           b. another for MPLS enabled networks
           c. or a common solutions that works in both MPLS enabled
           networks and in IP networks that is not MPLS enabled

2. Virtual Private Wire Service--L2 service that provides L2
    point-to-point connectivity (e.g. Frame Relay DLCI, ATM VPI/VCI,
    point-to-point Ethernet) across an IP and an MPLS-enabled IP network.

Question: Same as for item 1.

3. IP-only L2 VPNs--L2 service across an IP and an MPLS-enabled
    IP network, allowing standard IP devices to communicate with each
    other as if they were connected to a common LAN segment or a point-
    to-point circuit.

The WG will address intra-AS scenarios only at this point (other
scenarios will be considered for inclusion in the updated charter when
the current one is completed.)

Question: "Completed" is fuzzy, when is something completed
            - wg last call done,
            - sent to the iesg for review
            - iesg decision
            - published as RFC.

           It is likely that the point in time is when the previous
           task is "90% done" is when something could be viewed as
           completed from a wg point of view.
           One would need more freedom, and the IETF process is probably
           good enough "after the wg have requested a charter update
           from the iesg and have had that request approved".

As a general rule, the WG will not create new protocols, but will
provide functional requirements for extensions of the existing
protocols that will be discussed in the protocol-specific WGs.
The group will review proposed protocol extensions for L2VPNs before
they are recommended to appropriate protocol-specific WGs.

Question: Can't make head an tail of this. If the wg produces
           "requirements" to be sent to a protocol specific wg,
           once this is done the work will be done within that wg.
           No? If not is the process that we produce "requirements"
           that will be "discussed in the protocol specific wg" and
           once approved by wg and the iesg, the l2vpn wg will
           develop the extensions that will go through the same
           process. Could become a bit cumbersome.
           If we are not doing the extension, how do we make sure
           that we have the attention on the other working group.

As a specific example, this WG will not define new encapsulation
mechanism, but will use those defined in the PWE3 WG.

The WG will work on the following items. Adding new work items
will require rechartering: rechartering.

Question: This is possibly too restrictive, we might see that there are
           work items that are "within charter" and we would like to
           undertake those task, but it wouldn't require a new charter.

1. Discovery of PEs participating in L2 service, and
    topology of required connectivity

2. Signaling of pseudo-wire and service parameters

3. Solution documents (providing the framework for a specific
    solution, should include info on how discovery, signaling,
    and encaps work together, include security, AS as a separate
    document)

4. MIBs

5. L2VPN-specific OAM extensions--extensions to existing OAM
    solutions for VPLS and VPWS.

Question: OAM for IP only L2VPNs?

6. Interworking of IP devices connected to an IP-only L2 VPN using
    dissimilar attachment circuits. This topic will be explored only
    after the basic L2VPN services (VPWS, VPLS, and IP L2VPN) are
    defined.

Where necessary, the WG will coordinate its activities with IEEE 802.1

Question: Wouldn't it be appropriate to look into re-using mechanisms
           that are (have been) developed by the l3vpn wg? And the other
           way around?
           Or is this within the IETF mode of working, and need not to
           be explicitly stated?

Milestones (optimistic):

JUL 2003  Submit L2 requirements to IESG for publication as
           Informational RFC
JUL 2003  Submit L2 framework to IESG for publication as
           Informational RFC

Okay. But I am afraid the term "parameters" will be
interpreted as the stuff that goes after the signaling
info used for the purpose of connectivity (stuff like
optional parameters, etc)...

Thanks for thoughtful comments. It is a good idea to clarify possible
interpretations now. Please see inline below

My opinion is that the _default_ mode for the WG should be one
solution per item of the list below (VPLS, VPWS, IPL2VPN), each going
to STD track. If the WG believes at some point that more than one is
necessary, than (as usual) a strong case would need to be made wrt why
one is not enough.

The intent is to say that the WG should aspire to "c" above.

I would consider an document/milestone completed when the IESG
review is completed and it's approved.

The way I see this happening is that the WG chairs and ADs would
discuss the matter, and as soon as both sides are comfortable with
adding more work on the plate, new items would be taken on. The intent
of that piece of the charter is to set priorities for the WG.

We had a discussion about this on the list. The text above tries to
capture in a short form what I described in my message on May 9th:

Please see if this makes sense.

The intent here is again to give WG chairs and ADs a tool to control
the amount of work in the WG. For instance, if we wanted to add QoS,
we would need to add an item to this list, and hence revise the
charter.

If an item is within the charter, then adding it should be a matter
of adding a milestone, which is a much less painful procedure.

I would say this consideration will anyways be on a case-by-case
basis, which is, as you say, already the normal IETF mode.

Could you propose wording that would (to your mind) address your
concern?

Thanks.

	Alex,

	I like this idea in theory, but in practice, how is
the determination of going with one over the other going to
be made if the WG seems fairly divided? I have seen this
handled in different ways in different WGs in the past, but
it was never consistent. I guess we could always call in 
the VP to breat the tie or flip a coin? *)

Alex,

Not a major concern but how about: 
 
"Signaling of l2vpn related information 
for the purpose of setup and maintenance of 
l2vpn circuits. When applicable PWE3 signaling 
procedures should be used".
 
That pretty much reflects current reality...

Hamid.

Not sure this is in fact accurate. The charter indicated
that the l2vpn services need to be provided across both
IP and MPLS-enabled IP network, and since a solution is described 
in the charter as 
 
"providing the framework for a specific solution, 
should include info on how discovery, signaling, and encaps work 
together, include security",
 
It results that we will end up, at least, with two solutions
for the same service...(that's another reason why I think
the charter should mention explicitly that one of desirable
goals is to maximize commonalities among solutions
(even between the IP and MPLS-based solutions).
 
Hamid.
 
(with no intent of respining the "single vs multiple solutions"
debate ;-)).

Jeff, Tony, Acee,
Thanks for your clarification.
L2VPN WG is defining emulated LAN (and broadcast network for IP traffic)
service over IP/MPLS network and some of the mechanims being defined can
result in loss of communication among a subset of routers on the
emulated LAN (even if all the nodes in the underlying IP/MPLS transport
network are reachable).
Some of the discussions have been how tolerable are routing protocols to
this type of problem, if it is worth fixing some L2VPN WG mechanisms to
prevent this problem, how feasible are these L2VPN solutions, are these
not well-known problems ...

I hope the L2VPN WG would consider these issues and requirements in the
L2VPN solutions.
Perhaps a more detailed understanding of how things work/don't work may
help L2VPN WG develop/appreciate solutios that will work well with
routers for e.g, in case of (i) below, what would an emulated LAN user
observe in the routed network (is this predictable/unpredictable?)

Thanks
Cheng-Yin
p.s I have cced l2vpn, but pls feel free to respond only to the relevant
WG as is appropriate.

Hamid,

lost track of the arguments. My question and Alex answer below

The intent is to say that the WG should aspire to "c" above.

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

So I guess that we all agree - default is one solution per vpws, vpls
and ipls, that works for both ip and mpls enabled ip networks.

same == maximum commonalities!

This topic is what we (the ADs and the WG chairs) are discussing now.
There is no magic wand. However, what I can say already is:

 1. If the WG is able to make the decision, we should do everything
    possible to make this happen--no doubt that decisions made by
    consensus are preferred over all other options.

 2. I'd like us to have a clear understanding on the way forward (read
    have made all necessary decisions) two weeks from Vienna the latest.

 3. To make this possible, we'll start the discussion right after
    the charter has been approved.

Alex

Tony, Naiming,
Thanks for clarifying this further and providing suggestions.

I would agree that it's better to use point-to-point links (or OSPF's
multipoint) when there are such problems.
As known, this is not a problem in a real LAN segment or emulated LAN
segment, provided by a bridged LAN (bridging over real LAN segments) or
bridging over circuits.
As has been brought up in the OSPF/IS-IS mailing lists, it is when the
emulated LAN (broadcast network) uses an approach whereby a full-meshed
of communication is required and there is a requirement that every
communication channel is working that this becomes a problem for routing
(and for bridges too).

There have been some proposals to overcome the problems in the
full-meshed approach, e.g. disabling the emulated LAN when one or more
connectivity loss is detected or artificially partitioning the emulated
LAN, or engineer the transport network in such a way that communication
failure never/rarely happens from the perspective of the user of the
service (e.g. routers).
More protocol mechanisms (and perhaps some heuristics) may be used to
emulate a proper LAN failure, but I think it not easy to get this
working (it also raises the question, is this the only compelling way),
in particular because of race/timing issues.
Can an operator engineer a network such that the pseudo-wire or
communications never or "rarely" fail from the perspective of
routers/bridges? What is the cost and effectiveness (backup and
rerouting pseudo-wire may not be sufficient as there can be many other
reasons why communication is lost) in this case?

I hope the L2VPN WG would consider these service issues as carefully as
L2VPN discovery protocols because even the best L2VPN discovery
protocols cannot help if the L2VPN service itself does not work well
with routers and bridges.

Thanks

Folks,

In particular, if there is a disconnect on a broadcast medium
between two routers and neither is the DR, then the two routers
will present a black hole between them.  This problem has been
seen before in real life and is Not Pretty.

For this reason alone, I would encourage you to model any L2
solution as a number of point-to-point links.  

Regards,
Tony

Hamid,

  I'd be fine with this, though I would change
  "When applicable" to "As much as possible".

  I'll change the text...

Description of Working Group:

Alex is the routing advisor.
Russ is the security advisor.

This working group is responsible for defining and specifying a
limited number of solutions for supporting provider-provisioned
layer-2 virtual private networks (L2VPNs).

The WG is responsible for standardization of the following solutions:

1. Virtual Private LAN Service--L2 service that emulates LAN
   across an IP and an MPLS-enabled IP network, allowing standard
   Ethernet devices communicate with each other as if they were
   connected to a common LAN segment.
 
2. Virtual Private Wire Service--L2 service that provides L2
   point-to-point connectivity (e.g. Frame Relay DLCI, ATM VPI/VCI,
   point-to-point Ethernet) across an IP and an MPLS-enabled IP network.

3. IP-only L2 VPNs--L2 service across an IP and an MPLS-enabled
   IP network, allowing standard IP devices to communicate with each
   other as if they were connected to a common LAN segment or a point-
   to-point circuit.

The WG will address intra-AS scenarios only at this point (other
scenarios will be considered for inclusion in the updated charter when 
the current one is completed.)
   
As a general rule, the WG will not create new protocols, but will 
provide functional requirements for extensions of the existing 
protocols that will be discussed in the protocol-specific WGs.
As a specific example, this WG will not define new encapsulation
mechanism, but will use those defined in the PWE3 WG.
L2VPN WG will review proposed protocol extensions for L2VPNs before 
they are recommended to appropriate protocol-specific WGs.

The WG will work on the following items. Adding new work items 
will require rechartering.

1. Discovery of PEs participating in L2 service, and
   topology of required connectivity

2. Signaling of l2vpn related information for the purpose of 
   setup and maintenance of l2vpn circuits. As much as possible
   PWE3 signaling procedures should be used

3. Solution documents (providing the framework for a specific
   solution, should include info on how discovery, signaling,
   and encaps work together, include security, AS as a separate
   document)

4. MIBs
   
5. L2VPN-specific OAM extensions--extensions to existing OAM
   solutions for VPLS, VPWS, and IP-only L2VPNs.

6. Interworking of IP devices connected to an IP-only L2 VPN using
   dissimilar attachment circuits. This topic will be explored only
   after the basic L2VPN services (VPWS, VPLS, and IP L2VPN) are 
   defined.

Where necessary, the WG will coordinate its activities with IEEE 802.1
   
Milestones (optimistic):

JUL 2003  Submit L2 requirements to IESG for publication as Informational RFC
JUL 2003  Submit L2 framework to IESG for publication as Informational RFC
JUL 2003  Identify VPLS and VPWS solutions for the WG

It's up to the WG. The only constrain is that the security part needs
to go to the IESG at the same time as the solutions.

Do you mean security and inter-AS to be documented separately from the
solution document?

Folks-

 I brought the L2VPN charter to the IESG last week.

 Item 6 in the list of tasks the WG is undertaking--

  6. Interworking of IP devices connected to an IP-only L2 VPN using
     dissimilar attachment circuits. This topic will be explored only
     after the basic L2VPN services (VPWS, VPLS, and IP L2VPN) are
     defined.
 
 --caused some concerns within the IESG and it will take some time to
 discuss this subject.

 In the interest of progress, I made a decision to remove this item
 from the charter at this time so it can go to the IETF review stage.
 I will continue the discussion within the IESG with the plan to have
 a decision two weeks from Vienna.

Hamid,

The high-order bit is whether this work belongs within the IETF or
not. We're talking about details now. More later.

I think the charter mentioned the term "Interworking" in
the statement below and that may have caused some misunderstanding.
 
"Interworking of IP devices Interworking of IP devices connected 
to an IP-only L2 VPN using dissimilar attachment circuits." 
 
It should be stressed that this is not l2vpn interworking in a
sense that the wg will not be defining an interworking function
between two dissimilar layer-2 attachment circuits. In fact if it 
is not too late, I suggest to remove bullet 6, and just leave 3) 
which includes already an IP-only communication between point
to point circuits of (dissimilar attachment circuits). Bullet 3)
says:
 
"3. IP-only L2 VPNs--L2 service across an IP and an MPLS-enabled
IP network, allowing standard IP devices to communicate with each
other as if they were connected to a common LAN segment or a point-
to-point circuit."
 
For me this statement is enough...(no need for further clarification).
 
Hamid.

Defeng and all participants,

There will be two meetings in Vienna to address L2 and L3 VPN work. I
expect the agendas for these two meetings to be posted to the ppvpn,
l2vpn, and l3vpn lists by the end of this week.=20

I am sorry you have been having difficulties with the mail list. People
at Nortel have been notified and are looking into this. Anyone with
specific error messages or debug information documenting a problem with
the list can forward it to John Pugh [johnpugh@nortelnetworks.com]. He
has offered to try and help.

Rick

Subject: How about the agenda for the 57th IETF ppvpn wg meeting ?

Hi, all

The 57th IETF meeting is forthcoming,but I don't know the agenda of
PPVPN wg
yet, and I wrote e-mails to the maillist and some important individuals
to
inquire the arrangement,but they are always rejected by the server or
something called Lyris Listmanager, I don't know the reason.

I just registered to the maillist of l3vpn and l2vpn today. and I have a
concern about the operation of vpn relevant wg, I wonder what happened
to
ppvpn wg,and what is the arrangement in the following future.

Who can clarify the question?

TIA & Regards

Sincerely Yours
