Ahh, yes:

"Last IETF, I got a lot of comments from David McDysan of verizon.
So, I will update them by the beginning of May. After that, we will
start the LC."

Thanks, looking forward to the update.

Your claim is incorrect wrt steady state, as in a steady state
single forwarder election with BGP as a signaling protocol does
eliminate/resolve duplicates by itself. 

Without the ability to discard packets from the unexpected UMH,
(without what you call "the strong RPF check") duplicates may exist
during transients (e.g., RPT to SPT switchover), but such duplicates
may exist with PIM as a signaling protocol as well. And as mentioned
above, with this ability (with "the strong RPF check") such duplicates 
will be suppressed with BGP as the C-multicast signaling protocol.

Your claim is incorrect, and here is why. Let's look at the whole 
section 9.1.2 of [MVPN] (not just the paragraph you quoted above):
 
 9.1.2. Single Forwarder Selection
 
  Section 5.1 specifies a procedure for choosing a "default upstream PE
  selection", such that (except during routing transients) all PEs will
  choose the same default upstream PE.  To ensure that duplicate
  packets are not sent through the backbone (except during routing
  transients), an ingress PE does not forward to the backbone any
  (C-S,C-G) multicast data packet it receives from a CE, unless the PE
  is the default upstream PE selection.
 
  One difference in effect between this procedure and the procedure of
  section 9.1.1 is that this procedure sends only one copy of each
  packet to each egress PE, rather than sending multiple copies and
  forcing the egress PE to discard all but one.
 
>From the text above it should be (abundantly) clear that section
9.1.2 talks about a steady state, *not* about transients, and in a
steady state single forwarder election with BGP as a signaling
protocol does eliminate duplicates by itself.
 
>>> <RA> Please see Yakov's email on the clarifying changes to the text
>>> in section 13.1.
>>
>> The new proposal for SA withdrawal is as follows:
>>
>>   "Whenever as a result of receiving a withdrawal of the previousely

How about the following modified text:
 
   "Whenever the PE deletes the (C-S, C-G) state, or whenever the
    PE, as a result of receiving a withdrawal of the previousely
    advertise Source Tree Join C-multicast route for (C-S, C-G),
    is going to remove the S-PMSI/I-PMSI from the outgoing interface
    list of the (C-S, C-G) state, the PE MUST also withdraw the
    Source Active A-D route for (C-S, C-G), if such a route has
    been advertised by the PE."

Yakov.

In a *transient* state only few duplicates are generated, which is
generally acceptable to multicast applications.=20
The multicast scenario and how it is handled by BGP-multicast, which I
described, is not a case of a *transient* state. Let me explain:
The BGP implementation of the scenario forces SPT-to-RPT switchover
which is quite different from the familiar RPT-to-SPT switchover. I
believe that such a switchover should be avoided in the first place. In
fact, such SPT-to-RPT switchover does not happen in PIM because (as
defined in RFC4601) all receivers will stay on SPT as long as the source
is active.=20
As Rahul described in his e-mail (and I agree with it), the only
solution to avoid packet loss is to delay sending (S,G) Prune towards
the source "S". The delay of this Prune will have to be long enough to
give time for the (*,G) Join to be delivered to C-RP:
-First, this delay has to be long enough for Source-Active A-D route to
be withdrawn and for egress PEs to change their forwarding to receive
"S" traffic on RPT. This might take seconds, especially if multiple RRs
are in the path, which itself poses a question whether the amount of
duplicates will be acceptable.=20
-But more importantly this delay cannot be just in seconds but should
last several minutes. PIM allows for, at least, 210 sec (3.5 min) for an
interface to time out, taking into account that some Join(s) might not
be delivered. The switchback to RPT should allow similar amount of time
before pruning (S,G) since the (*,G) Join that performs the switchback
to RPT is being send to customer's network over which SP has no control,
and there is no guarantee that the 1st (*,G) Join will be delivered.
Since the source "S" can be active and there are active listeners, its
flow cannot be interrupted. The reliance on discarding duplicates in
this case is necessary (as Rahul correctly stated).=20
Hence, it is quite clear that multicast forwarding with BGP-signaling
requires "strong" or "UMH-based" RPF check.

> >> There are other side effects of single forwarder election and
> >> BGP-signaling (I will send an example in a separate e-mail).

The other side effect of single forwarder election and BGP-signaling is
that it might trigger different trees than VPN customer expects. Here is
one example:
                                =20
                 		                 RP---R3
                                         |
                                         |
                       R1---PE1-- ... --PE2---\
                                  ...          S
                       R2---PE4-- ... --PE3---/


Source "S" is dually connected to PE2 and PE3.=20
Assume that PE2's, PE1's, and PE4's best path to "S" is via PE2.

-RP sends (S,G) Join to PE2 and PE2 sends Join directly to "S"=20
-R1, R2, R3 send (*,G) Joins towards RP=20
-R1, R2, R3 switch to SPT and single forwarder election chooses PE3 as
the upstream PE

Hence, SPT will be as follows:

			  S
			/   \
      R3---RP---PE2--PE3---PE4---R2
			    |=09
			   PE1
			    |
			    R1

while VPN customer expected SPT not to include S--PE3 path, as follows:
	=09
				S         =20
                        |               =20
             R3---RP---PE2---PE4---R2	=20
			      |
                       PE1=20
			      |
			      R1
		=09
This is an issue because VPN customers expect multicast to follow VRF
routing policy.
 =20
When PIM is used as a signaling protocol the SPT will be as expected
because there will be no (S,G) Joins send to PE3 and thus there will be
no Asserts.

As I explained above the switching from SPT to RPT using BGP-signaling
would not generate *merely* a transient state.

This means that an upstream PE may have (S,G) Join route(s) but no (S,G)
PIM state. Doesn't this imply an inconsistency between PIM and BGP since
the (S,G) Join route (quote from [BGP-MVPN]) "'correspond' to the PIM
(S,G) state"?

First of all, you are contradicting your own requirements. This is
because on one hand you say above that SPT-to-RPT should be avoided
"as long as the source is active", which means that it should be
avoided irrespective of whether there are any receivers that switch
to SPT.  Yet on another hand you require MVPN "not trigger unexpected
(C-S, C-G) states in customer's network" (see Section 5 of your
draft draft-mnapierala-mvpn-part-reqt-02.txt).  If indeed SPT-to-RPT
switchover is to be avoided, even if there are no more receivers
that switch to SPT, then this may result in a situation where the
MVPN customer network will have an unexpected (C-S, C-G) state.

Second, please consider the following example:

     C-RP   C-S
      |      |
     CE1    CE2
      |      |
     PE1     PE2

     PE3     PE4
      |      |
     CE3    CE4
      |      |
     Rcv1   Rcv2

Assume that initially DRs connected to both Rcv1 and Rcv2 join RPT
(by sending Join(C-*, C-G) towards C-RP). When the DR connected to
Rcv1 receives the first (C-S, C-G) packet, the DR switches to SPT
(by sending Join(C-S, C-G) towards C-S). However, the DR connected
to Rcv2 stays on RPT (and does not switch to SPT). Later on, Rcv1
goes away.

Please point to the *specific* procedures in rfc4601 (section number
does not count as a "specific procedure") that would result in
preserving SPT (and specifically preserving (C-S, C-G) state on
PE2) after Rcv1 goes away.

Your last claim above is incorrect.

Let me remind you of the following text from Section 5.1.3 of 
draft-ietf-l3vpn-2547bis-mcast-08.txt

   Another procedure, which SHOULD be implemented, is to use the
   Installed UMH Route as the Selected UMH Route.  

in which case PE2 (and not PE3, as you claim above) will be chosen as 
the forwarder (as PE2's, PE1's, and PE4's best path to "S" is via PE2,
and not via PE3), and so the rest does not apply.

As you know quite well, use of PIM for C-multicast signaling, as
specified in draft-ietf-l3vpn-2547bis-mcast-08.txt, can result
in a situation where multicast will *not* follow the VRF routing
policy, and the SPT may not be "as expected".

Using your example above, let's assume that that PE1's best path
to "S" is via PE2, but PE4's best path to "S" is via PE3. In this
case Asserts will result in either PE2 or PE3 being the forwarder,
which in turn will result in violation of the VRF routing policy
on either PE1 or PE4, and the SPT *not* being "as expected".

What makes you think that the text I proposed mean "that an upstream PE 
may have (S,G) Join route(s) but no (S,G) PIM state" ?

Yakov,

> First of all, you are contradicting your own requirements. This is
> because on one hand you say above that SPT-to-RPT should be avoided
> "as long as the source is active", which means that it should be
> avoided irrespective of whether there are any receivers that switch

> draft draft-mnapierala-mvpn-part-reqt-02.txt).  If indeed SPT-to-RPT

> MVPN customer network will have an unexpected (C-S, C-G) state.

Well, you opposed this draft, so are you now supporting it?

> Second, please consider the following example:
>=20
>      C-RP   C-S
>       |      |
>      CE1    CE2
>       |      |
>      PE1     PE2
>=20
>      PE3     PE4
>       |      |
>      CE3    CE4
>       |      |
>      Rcv1   Rcv2
>=20
> Assume that initially DRs connected to both Rcv1 and Rcv2 join RPT
> (by sending Join(C-*, C-G) towards C-RP). When the DR connected to
> Rcv1 receives the first (C-S, C-G) packet, the DR switches to SPT
> (by sending Join(C-S, C-G) towards C-S). However, the DR connected
> to Rcv2 stays on RPT (and does not switch to SPT). Later on, Rcv1
> goes away.
>=20
> Please point to the *specific* procedures in rfc4601 (section number
> does not count as a "specific procedure") that would result in
> preserving SPT (and specifically preserving (C-S, C-G) state on
> PE2) after Rcv1 goes away.

RFC 4601, section 4.6.1. "(S,G) Assert Message State Machine":

AssertTrackingDesired(S,G,I) =3D
        (I in ( ( joins(*,*,RP(G)) (+) joins(*,G) (-) prunes(S,G,rpt) )
                (+) ( pim_include(*,G) (-) pim_exclude(S,G) )
                (-) lost_assert(*,G)
                (+) joins(S,G) ) )
        OR (local_receiver_include(S,G,I) =3D=3D TRUE
            AND (I_am_DR(I) OR (AssertWinner(S,G,I) =3D=3D me)))
        OR ((RPF_interface(S) =3D=3D I) AND (JoinDesired(S,G) =3D=3D =
TRUE))
        OR ((RPF_interface(RP(G)) =3D=3D I) AND (JoinDesired(*,G) =3D=3D =

            AND (SPTbit(S,G) =3D=3D FALSE))

...

   Transitions from NoInfo State
...
     Receive Acceptable Assert with RPT bit clear AND
          AssertTrackingDesired(S,G,I)=3D=3DTRUE
          We're interested in (S,G) Asserts, either because I is a
          downstream interface for which we have (S,G) or (*,G)
          forwarding state, or because I is the upstream interface for S
          and we have (S,G) forwarding state.  The received assert has a
          better metric than our own, so we do not win the Assert.  We
          transition to "I am Assert Loser" and perform Actions A6
          (below).
...

   (S,G) Assert State machine Actions

...
    A6:  Store new assert winner as AssertWinner(S,G,I) and assert
          winner metric as AssertWinnerMetric(S,G,I).
          Set Assert Timer to Assert_Time.

If "Installed UMH Route" procedure is chosen and MI-PMSI is used it
would generate duplicates if say PE1 choose PE2 as UMH and PE3 chooses
PE4 as UMH.  This would not be the case in PIM since the Assert would
choose either PE3 or PE4 as a single forwarder. =20

My example meant to illustrate something different, namely, that with
Assert, when all PEs/VRFs have the same routing policy, the correct
upstream PE will be chosen. This is not the case with single forwarder
election and BGP-signaling.=20

The first condition "Whenever the PE deletes the (C-S, C-G) state [...]"
implies the creation of such a state (i.e., existence of (S,G) join
route but no (S,G) PIM state) on upstream PE.

Question on section 11.4 of draft-ietf-l3vpn-2547bis-mcast-bgp-06
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-l3vpn-2547bis-mcast-bgp-06.txt> :

How does the following (quote from section 11.4):

   "To further reduce the routing churn due to C-multicast routes
changes
   a Route Reflector that re-advertises a C-multicast route SHOULD set
   the Next Hop field of the MP_REACH_NLRI attribute of the route to an
   IP address of the Route Reflector. Likewise, an ASBR that re-
   advertises a C-multicast route SHOULD set the Next Hop field of the
   MP_REACH_NLRI attribute of the route to an IP address of the ASBR.

Hi Yakov,

Do you mean that by aggregation of C-multicast routes that you are going 
to propose modification to SAFI independent route reflector code which 
today does advertise the best path among received for a given net 
regardless of the next hop policy ?

Thx,
R.

Folks,
Last call for comments on these minutes ended about
10 days ago.  I'm surprised the person indicated here,
or no one in the room, knows who this is under item
3:

"- Questioner Male from Cisco: How would this work with PIM-based  
solutions?"

Beyond that, I've got a couple corrections and plan to
post the final minutes later this week.  Last chance for
input.

Thanks!

Hi David,

Perhaps I may have missed the discussion on this in the other WGs but I 
have two comments/questions ...

* Why the decision on enhancing the load balancing capability of IP 
encapsulated packet has to be signaled as opposed to be a local matter 
of the ingress router performing encapsulation ?

* Reg use of GRE key for the purpose of load balancing I must say that 
GRE key has already been proposed in number of solutions today. Therefor 
overloading more on it may be impractical. Did authors analyzed use of 
Sequence Numbers in GRE header instead for the purpose of increasing 
effectiveness of load-balancing by the transit nodes ?

Cheers,
R.

Hi,

I have few question on section 11.4 which has not been addressed by 
authors yet.

    Hence a BGP Route Reflector or ASBR that receives multiple such
    routes with the same NLRI will re-advertise only one of these routes
    to other BGP speakers.
...
    To further reduce the routing churn due to C-multicast routes changes
    a Route Reflector that re-advertises a C-multicast route SHOULD set
    the Next Hop field of the MP_REACH_NLRI attribute of the route to an
    IP address of the Route Reflector.

Question 1:

* If we are considering route reflection as defined in RFC4456 to what 
value such described in section 11.4 route reflector will set the 
ORIGINATOR_ID ?

   - If it will not set it to the best path as it would be per default 
bgp behavior to which reflected path it would be set ? First received ?

   - If it will set it to the best bgp path among those carrying the 
same set of C-multicast routes spec should clarify that each subsequent 
new best path election will result in new advertisement of same 
C-multicast route.

Question 2:

* When route reflector will withdraw advertised C-multicast route ?

   - Would it withdraw only when last valid path attached to given 
C-multicast route is withdrawn from it by the PE ?

   - Would it need to send implicit withdraw when best path get's 
withdrawn and new path selected as best to reflect to ORIGINATOR_ID value ?

Thx,
R.

Maria,

Maria:  How does the following (quote from section 11.4):
Maria:
Maria:   To further reduce the routing churn due to C-multicast routes changes
Maria:   a Route Reflector that re-advertises a C-multicast route SHOULD set
Maria:   the Next Hop field of the MP_REACH_NLRI attribute of the route to an
Maria:   IP address of the Route Reflector. Likewise, an ASBR that re-
Maria:   advertises a C-multicast route SHOULD set the Next Hop field of the
Maria:   MP_REACH_NLRI attribute of the route to an IP address of the ASBR.
Maria:
Maria:  reduces route churn?

Yakov: By aggregating C-multicast routes.

Maria: What does it mean "aggregating C-multicast routes"?

Since in the context of this document C-multicast routes are carried
in BGP, it should be abundantly clear that in the context of this
document "aggregating C-multicast routes" means "aggregating BGP
routes". The term "aggregating BGP routes" is covered in rfc4271
(BGP-4) section 9.2.2.2.

Yakov.

You are incorrect about "abundantly clear" part.

The section 9 of base BGP spec RFC4271 as well as section 8 of RFC4456 
describing BGP route reflection behavior has been modified between lines 
to fit your new model of "C-multicast routes aggregation" by the route 
reflector. [Some of the details are listed in my former mail to this WG].

Those modifications to standard BGP behavior (as per the above RFCs) has 
not been explained to the WG and before we proceed with this draft any 
further I would request that such omission and changes to BGP will be 
addressed by new document in IDR WG proposing new model of BGP route 
reflection for the purpose of reflecting and aggregating C-multicast routes.

Cheers,
R.

Hello,

It appears as if IANA has allocated an "IPv4 Address Specific" BGP  
Extended Community to two different Internet Drafts, which are on  
their way to becoming Proposed Standards.

1)  The Ext Community 0x010A was allocated as an "IPv4 address- 
specific Layer-2 VPN Identifier" in the following draft:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-l2vpn-signaling-08#section-6

2)  The Ext Community 0x010A was *also* allocated as "VRF Route  
Import" in the following draft:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-l3vpn-2547bis-mcast-bgp-06#section-18

The chairs of L3VPN & L2VPN intend to work with IANA to correct this  
error and ensure a unique Ext Community value is assigned to both  
drafts.  We would like to ask those who have implemented either 'draft- 
ietf-l2vpn-signaling' or 'draft-ietf-l3vpn-2547bis-mcast-bgp' to  
inform us of what is their status of their implementation.  Our intent  
is to then ask IANA to assign a new Extended Community for the draft  
that has the least number of implementations.  Your response may be  
public or private.  Private responses should go to either or both WG  
chairs in L3VPN or L2VPN.

The deadline for this poll is ~3 weeks and will close on 5/22/2009.

If you have an implementation of draft-ietf-l2vpn-signaling, please  
provide the following information:

1.   Organization
1.1. Organization URL(s)

2.   Status:
2.1  [ ] Development
2.2  [ ] Alpha
2.3  [ ] Beta

Since the "aggregation" takes place on the RR, could clarify what is the
ORIGINATOR_ID of those "aggregated" routes?=20

Thanks.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Layer 3 Virtual Private Networks Working Group of the IETF.


	Title           : Mandatory Features in a Layer 3 Multicast BGP/MPLS VPN Solution
	Author(s)       : T. Morin, et al.
	Filename        : draft-ietf-l3vpn-mvpn-considerations-03.txt
	Pages           : 32
	Date            : 2009-04-29

More that one set of mechanisms to support multicast in a layer 3
BGP/MPLS VPN has been defined.  These are presented in the documents
that define them as optional building blocks.

To enable interoperability between implementations, this document
defines a subset of features that is considered mandatory for a
multicast BGP/MPLS VPN implementation.  This will help implementers
and deployers understand which L3VPN multicast requirements are best
satisfied by each option.

Hi folks,

A new version of draft-ietf-l3vpn-mvpn-considerations has just been
posted.

Apart from adding the conclusions on bidir-PIM to the "Summary of
recommendations" section, the rest is essentially editorial comments
(typo/syntax, consistency in notations, references updates, some
reformulations).

Cheers,

-Thomas

Hi Robert,

Thank you for your comments, please see inline.

This is because the load-balancing field is signaled (see RFC5512), so
using for lb it needs signaling of a block to avoid collisions. Note
also the context from the title, lb for Mesh Softwires. For the L2TPv3
case, and from <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5512#section-4.1>, the
only encapsulating header field that is always there is the Session ID
(Cookie is optional), which is signaled; the case for GRE is equivalent,
but also please see below. If it's only a local matter, the
encapsulating header's fields could not be used and you would be limited
to playing with e.g., the source IP address.

Yes, it was considered, but we need a field that can be used for flow
identification. From RFC2890, the seq # MUST be used by the receiver to
establish packet transmission order, so it's incompatible with a
per-flow use. The GRE Key's semantics from RFC2890 match this use,
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2890#section-2.1>:

   The Key field contains a four octet number which was inserted by the
   encapsulator. The actual method by which this Key is obtained is
   beyond the scope of the document. The Key field is intended to be
   used for identifying an individual traffic flow within a tunnel.

Thanks,

-- Carlos.
