Path Computation Element BOF (PCE BOF)
60th IETF, San Diego, August 2004

Routing Area Ads: Alex Zinin (zinin@psg.com),
Bill Fenner (fenner@research.att.com)

BOF Chairs: JP Vasseur (jvasseur@cisco.com), Adrian Farrel 
(adrian@olddog.co.uk)

Description:
In certain MPLS TE networks it may be beneficial or desirable to have path
computation performed by a distinct node (termed the Path Computation
Element PCE) that is not the LSR that needs to know the path. This BOF
examines the scope of such function, what extensions to existing protocols
might required, what additional protocols may need to be developed, and
whether there is cuase and support for this work within the IETF.

Proposed WG Charter

Organizational Overview
The PCE working group coordinates the work within the IETF of defining the
operation of path computation elements within the Internet. Path
computation elements are responsible for computing paths through IP
networks for uses such as traffic engineering so that a prime consumer of
such paths might be an MPLS-TE LSR. Areas of responsibility will include
the collection of attributes relevant to the computation of paths, the
discovery by LSRs of available path computation elements, the communication
with LSRs for the request of path computation, the collaboration between
path computation elements within the network, and analysis of path
computation algorithms with a view to ensuring consistency between computed
paths. The working group will work closely with many working groups in the
Routing Area including the OSPF, IS-IS, IDR, MPLS and CCAMP working groups.

Working Group Scope

The PCE working group scope includes:
- Definition of Generalized Traffic Engineered LSP paths computation
techniques involving Path Computation Element(s). This includes the intra
IGP area, inter IGP area, inter-AS and inter-provider TE LSPs path
computation for Point-to-Point, Point-to-Multipoint and
Multipoint-to-Multipoint TE LSPs.
- Definition of protocol-independent metrics and constraints defining path
quality measurement criteria, algorithm complexity and scalability criteria
related to path computation techniques.
- Definition of requirements for communication between LSRs and PCEs
including routing extensions in support of PCE discovery techniques within
an IGP area and across multiple IGP areas, ASes and Provider networks, and
including the development of new protocols or protocol extensions for
requesting path computation and supplying responses. Any protocol
extensions will developed in conjunction with the working groups in charge
of the specific protocols.
- Specification of routing (OSPF, ISIS, BGP) and signalling extensions
(RSVP-TE) required by PCE-based path computation techniques. The extensions
will developed in conjunction with the working groups in charge of the
specific protocols.
- Specification of requirements and protocol extensions related to the
policy, security and confidentiality aspects of PCE-based path computation
techniques involving PCEs of multiple Providers.
- Definition of MIBs, management procedures related to the protocol
extensions defined by the WG
In doing this work, the WG will closely work with at least the following
other WGs: CCAMP, MPLS, ISIS, OSPF, IDR. The WG will also cooperate with
the ITU-T and OIF.

Goals and Milestones
Dates for milestones to be decided later.
- Post strawman WG goals and charter.
- Submit WG document defining the framework and applicability of the
PCE model.
- Select a single candidate protocol from communication between LSRs
and PCEs.
- Submit document(s) that define various path computation models
- Submit an analysis document examining the requirements for coherent
computation techniques and the implication of cooperation between
PCEs.
- Submit a document defining the protocol for communication between
LSRs and PCEs.
- Submit document(s) defining extensions to routing and signalling
protocols necessary to support the use of a PCE model within MPLS
networks.
- Submit a document defining MIB modules for modeling and management
of PCE systems.

1. I see that in the "Overvew" section (slide 4) there is some reference to
PCE, PCS...what did you mean by "PCS (S=Server)-> PCE" ? I have also
seen references to PCC and PCS...do they apply only in the context of
distributed path calculation ?

2. Is RSVP the only signaling protocol between an LER and a PCE ? Or
is it like there are no assumptions made abt the communication between
LER and PCE ? (maybe this is my lack of prior knowledge but the draft
on PCE signaling "draft-lee-mpls-path-request" mentioned in Slide 26
seems to have expired ??)

PCS is the old terminology, this is what I'll explain here.

The purpose of the BOF are listed in slides 39, not to discuss possible 
solutions. To specifically answer your question, there is one draft 
proposing to use RSVP between an LSR and the PCE, but this is one solution, 
there are other proposed alternatives.

Hi,

I think it is very necessary to do this work in IETF, Service Providers in China also expressed such requirements during the technical exchanges.

I have delved into PCE.ppt in the link, however, I can't find the following drafts, If anyone can share with me? Could you please send me these drafts in e-mail, Thanks!

draft-mescal-pce-interas-00.txt

  Hi,

  Just to let you know that the set of slides for the PCE BOF will be available next Monday morning (http://www.olddog.co.uk/60/pce.ppt)

  Cheers,

  Path Computation Element BOF (PCE BOF) 
  60th IETF, San Diego, August 2004

  Routing Area Ads: Alex Zinin (zinin@psg.com), 
  Bill Fenner (fenner@research.att.com)

  BOF Chairs: JP Vasseur (jvasseur@cisco.com), Adrian Farrel (adrian@olddog.co.uk)

  Description: 
  In certain MPLS TE networks it may be beneficial or desirable to have path 
  computation performed by a distinct node (termed the Path Computation 
  Element PCE) that is not the LSR that needs to know the path. This BOF 
  examines the scope of such function, what extensions to existing protocols 
  might required, what additional protocols may need to be developed, and 
  whether there is cuase and support for this work within the IETF. 

  Proposed WG Charter 

  Organizational Overview 
  The PCE working group coordinates the work within the IETF of defining the 
  operation of path computation elements within the Internet. Path 
  computation elements are responsible for computing paths through IP 
  networks for uses such as traffic engineering so that a prime consumer of 
  such paths might be an MPLS-TE LSR. Areas of responsibility will include 
  the collection of attributes relevant to the computation of paths, the 
  discovery by LSRs of available path computation elements, the communication 
  with LSRs for the request of path computation, the collaboration between 
  path computation elements within the network, and analysis of path 
  computation algorithms with a view to ensuring consistency between computed 
  paths. The working group will work closely with many working groups in the 
  Routing Area including the OSPF, IS-IS, IDR, MPLS and CCAMP working groups. 

  Working Group Scope 

  The PCE working group scope includes: 
  - Definition of Generalized Traffic Engineered LSP paths computation 
  techniques involving Path Computation Element(s). This includes the intra 
  IGP area, inter IGP area, inter-AS and inter-provider TE LSPs path 
  computation for Point-to-Point, Point-to-Multipoint and 
  Multipoint-to-Multipoint TE LSPs. 
  - Definition of protocol-independent metrics and constraints defining path 
  quality measurement criteria, algorithm complexity and scalability criteria 
  related to path computation techniques. 
  - Definition of requirements for communication between LSRs and PCEs 
  including routing extensions in support of PCE discovery techniques within 
  an IGP area and across multiple IGP areas, ASes and Provider networks, and 
  including the development of new protocols or protocol extensions for 
  requesting path computation and supplying responses. Any protocol 
  extensions will developed in conjunction with the working groups in charge 
  of the specific protocols. 
  - Specification of routing (OSPF, ISIS, BGP) and signalling extensions 
  (RSVP-TE) required by PCE-based path computation techniques. The extensions 
  will developed in conjunction with the working groups in charge of the 
  specific protocols. 
  - Specification of requirements and protocol extensions related to the 
  policy, security and confidentiality aspects of PCE-based path computation 
  techniques involving PCEs of multiple Providers. 
  - Definition of MIBs, management procedures related to the protocol 
  extensions defined by the WG 
  In doing this work, the WG will closely work with at least the following 
  other WGs: CCAMP, MPLS, ISIS, OSPF, IDR. The WG will also cooperate with 
  the ITU-T and OIF. 

  Goals and Milestones 
  Dates for milestones to be decided later. 
  - Post strawman WG goals and charter. 
  - Submit WG document defining the framework and applicability of the 
  PCE model. 
  - Select a single candidate protocol from communication between LSRs 
  and PCEs. 
  - Submit document(s) that define various path computation models 
  - Submit an analysis document examining the requirements for coherent 
  computation techniques and the implication of cooperation between 
  PCEs. 
  - Submit a document defining the protocol for communication between 
  LSRs and PCEs. 
  - Submit document(s) defining extensions to routing and signalling 
  protocols necessary to support the use of a PCE model within MPLS 
  networks. 
  - Submit a document defining MIB modules for modeling and management 
  of PCE systems.

Those drafts falls in the "Under Work" category ... and have not been 
published yet. I'll say a few words about them this afternoon, the goal was 
just to highlight on-going work related to this area.

<dd>Description: 
<dd>In certain MPLS TE networks it may be beneficial or desirable to have path 
<dd>computation performed by a distinct node (termed the Path Computation 
<dd>Element PCE) that is not the LSR that needs to know the path. This BOF

<dd>might required, what additional protocols may need to be developed, and 
<dd>whether there is cuase and support for this work within the IETF. <br>
<br>

<dd>Proposed WG Charter <br>
<br>

<dd>Organizational Overview 
<dd>The PCE working group coordinates the work within the IETF of defining the 
<dd>operation of path computation elements within the Internet. Path 
<dd>computation elements are responsible for computing paths through IP 
<dd>networks for uses such as traffic engineering so that a prime consumer of 
<dd>such paths might be an MPLS-TE LSR. Areas of responsibility will include 
<dd>the collection of attributes relevant to the computation of paths, the 
<dd>discovery by LSRs of available path computation elements, the communication 
<dd>with LSRs for the request of path computation, the collaboration between 
<dd>path computation elements within the network, and analysis of path 
<dd>computation algorithms with a view to ensuring consistency between computed 
<dd>paths. The working group will work closely with many working groups in the 
<dd>Routing Area including the OSPF, IS-IS, IDR, MPLS and CCAMP working groups. <br>
<br>

<dd>Working Group Scope <br>
<br>

<dd>The PCE working group scope includes: 
<dd>- Definition of Generalized Traffic Engineered LSP paths computation 
<dd>techniques involving Path Computation Element(s). This includes the intra 
<dd>IGP area, inter IGP area, inter-AS and inter-provider TE LSPs path 
<dd>computation for Point-to-Point, Point-to-Multipoint and 
<dd>Multipoint-to-Multipoint TE LSPs. 
<dd>- Definition of protocol-independent metrics and constraints defining path 
<dd>quality measurement criteria, algorithm complexity and scalability criteria 
<dd>related to path computation techniques. 
<dd>- Definition of requirements for communication between LSRs and PCEs 
<dd>including routing extensions in support of PCE discovery techniques within 
<dd>an IGP area and across multiple IGP areas, ASes and Provider networks, and 
<dd>including the development of new protocols or protocol extensions for 
<dd>requesting path computation and supplying responses. Any protocol 
<dd>extensions will developed in conjunction with the working groups in charge 
<dd>of the specific protocols. 
<dd>- Specification of routing (OSPF, ISIS, BGP) and signalling extensions 
<dd>(RSVP-TE) required by PCE-based path computation techniques. The extensions 
<dd>will developed in conjunction with the working groups in charge of the 
<dd>specific protocols. 
<dd>- Specification of requirements and protocol extensions related to the 
<dd>policy, security and confidentiality aspects of PCE-based path computation 
<dd>techniques involving PCEs of multiple Providers. 
<dd>- Definition of MIBs, management procedures related to the protocol 
<dd>extensions defined by the WG 
<dd>In doing this work, the WG will closely work with at least the following 
<dd>other WGs: CCAMP, MPLS, ISIS, OSPF, IDR. The WG will also cooperate with 
<dd>the ITU-T and OIF. <br>
<br>

<dd>Goals and Milestones 
<dd>Dates for milestones to be decided later. 
<dd>- Post strawman WG goals and charter. 
<dd>- Submit WG document defining the framework and applicability of the 
<dd>PCE model. 
<dd>- Select a single candidate protocol from communication between LSRs 
<dd>and PCEs. 
<dd>- Submit document(s) that define various path computation models 
<dd>- Submit an analysis document examining the requirements for coherent 
<dd>computation techniques and the implication of cooperation between 
<dd>PCEs. 
<dd>- Submit a document defining the protocol for communication between 
<dd>LSRs and PCEs. 
<dd>- Submit document(s) defining extensions to routing and signalling 
<dd>protocols necessary to support the use of a PCE model within MPLS 
<dd>networks. 
<dd>- Submit a document defining MIB modules for modeling and management

Hi Rahul, et al

During the WG meeting, there were a number of major comments were made on
the requirement document. Given this, I don't think we have a case for
adapting solution document by the WG. 

Thanks

The two are orthogonal.

I support making draft-raggarwa-mpls-rsvp-te-p2mp-00.txt an MPLS WG doc.

Thanks

Bill Fenner ( fenner@research.att.com)

BOF Chairs: JP Vasseur ( jvasseur@cisco.com), Adrian Farrel ( =
adrian@olddog.co.uk)

Description:=20
In certain MPLS TE networks it may be beneficial or desirable to have =
path=20
computation performed by a distinct node (termed the Path Computation=20
Element PCE) that is not the LSR that needs to know the path. This BOF=20
examines the scope of such function, what extensions to existing =
protocols=20
might required, what additional protocols may need to be developed, and=20
whether there is cuase and support for this work within the IETF.=20

Proposed WG Charter=20

Organizational Overview=20
The PCE working group coordinates the work within the IETF of defining =
the=20
operation of path computation elements within the Internet. Path=20
computation elements are responsible for computing paths through IP=20
networks for uses such as traffic engineering so that a prime consumer =
of=20
such paths might be an MPLS-TE LSR. Areas of responsibility will include =

the collection of attributes relevant to the computation of paths, the=20
discovery by LSRs of available path computation elements, the =
communication=20
with LSRs for the request of path computation, the collaboration between =

path computation elements within the network, and analysis of path=20
computation algorithms with a view to ensuring consistency between =
computed=20
paths. The working group will work closely with many working groups in =
the=20
Routing Area including the OSPF, IS-IS, IDR, MPLS and CCAMP working =
groups.=20

Working Group Scope=20

The PCE working group scope includes:=20
- Definition of Generalized Traffic Engineered LSP paths computation=20
techniques involving Path Computation Element(s). This includes the =
intra=20
IGP area, inter IGP area, inter-AS and inter-provider TE LSPs path=20
computation for Point-to-Point, Point-to-Multipoint and=20
Multipoint-to-Multipoint TE LSPs.=20
- Definition of protocol-independent metrics and constraints defining =
path=20
quality measurement criteria, algorithm complexity and scalability =
criteria=20
related to path computation techniques.=20
- Definition of requirements for communication between LSRs and PCEs=20
including routing extensions in support of PCE discovery techniques =
within=20
an IGP area and across multiple IGP areas, ASes and Provider networks, =
and=20
including the development of new protocols or protocol extensions for=20
requesting path computation and supplying responses. Any protocol=20
extensions will developed in conjunction with the working groups in =
charge=20
of the specific protocols.=20
- Specification of routing (OSPF, ISIS, BGP) and signalling extensions=20
(RSVP-TE) required by PCE-based path computation techniques. The =
extensions=20
will developed in conjunction with the working groups in charge of the=20
specific protocols.=20
- Specification of requirements and protocol extensions related to the=20
policy, security and confidentiality aspects of PCE-based path =
computation=20
techniques involving PCEs of multiple Providers.=20
- Definition of MIBs, management procedures related to the protocol=20
extensions defined by the WG=20
In doing this work, the WG will closely work with at least the following =

other WGs: CCAMP, MPLS, ISIS, OSPF, IDR. The WG will also cooperate with =

the ITU-T and OIF.=20

Goals and Milestones=20
Dates for milestones to be decided later.=20
- Post strawman WG goals and charter.=20
- Submit WG document defining the framework and applicability of the=20
PCE model.=20
- Select a single candidate protocol from communication between LSRs=20
and PCEs.=20
- Submit document(s) that define various path computation models=20
- Submit an analysis document examining the requirements for coherent=20
computation techniques and the implication of cooperation between=20
PCEs.=20
- Submit a document defining the protocol for communication between=20
LSRs and PCEs.=20
- Submit document(s) defining extensions to routing and signalling=20
protocols necessary to support the use of a PCE model within MPLS=20
networks.=20
- Submit a document defining MIB modules for modeling and management=20
of PCE systems.

Can you explain which specific comments on draft-ietf-mpls-p2mp-requirement-03.txt
impact the adoption of draft-raggarwa-mpls-rsvp-te-p2mp-00.txt as a MPLS
WG document (i.e. for this draft being a reasonable basis for the soulutions work) ?

thanks,
rahul

Hi Rahul, 

- The requirement document had some major issues raised against it at the
last WG meeting. I would suggest that we wait for the meeting minutes and
debate some issues at that point. In any case, you are asking me to compare
the solution document with the requirements that are in flux. 

- There is a dependency for this work with multicast WG. Chairs can correct
me if I am wrong, but some "formal" interaction between the WGs is required
(I think you agreed to this aspect in the WG meeting). 

Thanks

Regards... Zafar

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label-Controlled ATM and Frame-Relay Management Interface Definition
	Author(s)	: T. Nadeau, S. Hegde
	Filename	: draft-ietf-mpls-lc-if-mib-03.txt
	Pages		: 19
	Date		: 2004-8-18
	
This memo defines two MIB modules and corresponding MIB Object
   Definitions that describe how label switching controlled 
   Frame-Relay and ATM interfaces can be managed given the 
   interface stacking as defined in the MPLS-LSR-STD-MIB and 
   MPLS-TE-STD-MIB.

A URL for this Internet-Draft is:

Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.

Send a message to:
	mailserv@ietf.org.
In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-mpls-lc-if-mib-03.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.

	RFC3036 (LDP specification) is advancing to draft standard.

	As part of this process, it is necessary to compile a list of
changes/clarifications to the rfc, based on the experience gained with the
protocol.

	Please send me errors/changes/clarifications that you know about,
so that they can be taken into account in the revised document. Please
send your comments by September 6, either directly to me or to the list.

	I will post the complete list of the issues a couple of weeks
later.

		Thank you,

			Ina

Here is one issue:
The spec defines two types of FECs: "address prefix" and "host address".
The address prefix FEC is what's in widespread use. We have also
implemented support for the host address FEC but I have never seen
it used. It would be interesting to know whether there is any
known actual use of it. If not, I suggest to remove it from the spec.

I agree we should get rid of the host FEC type.

Issue: it would be nice to be able to shut down an adjacency without
having to time it out.  E.g., two interfaces between the same pair of
nodes running LDP.  If one is shut down, there is no way to notify the
peer endpoint, e.g., notification message to the multicast address over
UDP.

Issue: do we really have to send all FECs in our database whenever we
have an LDP session between two peers?  E.g., A is a PE which does LDP
for address FECs as well as PW FECs.  If it sets up a targeted adjacency
clear across the network to another PE, does it really have to send all
its address FECs there?  In our implementation, we do not send address
FECs across a session that was set up with a targeted adjacency, since
we only use targeted adjacencies for PW FECs.

Issue: with all the combinations of Downstream Unsolicited, Downstream
on Demand, Ordered Control, Independent Control, etc., it makes sense to
define a mandatory combination.  DU/OC seems to be the favored one.
E.g., IC was useful back when MPLS LSPs replaced IP forwarding.  Now
that that isn't the case anymore, if there is a P router doing
independent control in the middle of the network, it propagates a FEC
for a tunnel that may be used by 2547, BGP-free core routing, or PWs,
falsely giving the impression that the PSN tunnel is end to end.  It
would be far better to identify, at ingress, that the tunnel is not up.
In either case, we blackhole packets, but in one case, we clearly know
the service is not up, the route is not resolvable, etc., while in the
other, you have to figure that there is a problem somewhere in the
middle of the network.

Issue: Minor optimization: why do you send a FEC back to the owner of
the FEC?  E.g., A sends its loopback to B.  Why should B send it right
back to A (as described in LMp.21)?

Issue: Minor optimization: if A is a stub node, i.e., only one LDP
session, does it really have to send a label mapping for every FEC that
it has, or can it do it lazily, e.g., when it has a second LDP session?

Ina,

The following text needs more explanation:
RFC3036:

  F bit
     Forward unknown TLV bit.  This bit applies only when the U bit is
     set and the LDP message containing the unknown TLV is to be
     forwarded.  If F is clear (=0), the unknown TLV is not forwarded
     with the containing message; if F is set (=1), the unknown TLV is
     forwarded with the containing message.  The sections following
     that define TLVs specify a value for the F-bit.

-----------------------------
If  the U Bit and the F bit are set , then the extra TLV can be forwarded.

I believe that somewhere we need to explain that this was intended to 
allow attachment of attributes to a FEC.
I believe that this is used by the LDP MTU draft already, but we need 
some text to specify the F-bit better.

Hi Ina,  I have 2 items:

1.  It would be nice to fold the content of 
draft-ietf-mpls-ldp-mtu-extensions-02.txt into the main LDP standard document.

2.  Re LDP discovery (RFC 3036 section 2.4):  Two types of peer discovery 
are described: Basic and Extended.  Basic as described will work on 
broadcast and point-point media but not in general on NBMA media (e.g. 
non-LC-ATM when used in a multipoint mode).

Extended can work on NBMA but its semantics are quite different than Basic: 
it allows "discovery" of peers that are more than 1 hop away, and it does 
not bind the Hello adjacency to a particular interface.  Both of these 
differences can be undesirable in a context where one is looking to use LDP 
to distribute outer labels with adjacent peers on a non-LC NBMA 
network.  Extended discovery appears to be primarily intended for 
distributing "inner" labels with non-adjacent peers.

I think the successor to 3036 should either point out that basic discovery 
on NBMA is not provided for, or it should specify a mechanism semantically 
similar to basic discovery (1 hop limit, bind the hello adjacency to an 
interface) except using preconfigured neighbor addresses.

Thanks, Mark

	Mark,

	Thank you for your feedback, please see inline below.

	From a standards point of view, this cannot be done, since the mtu
extensions is not yet an RFC.

	Regarding the second point, I will send all comments together to
the list for review/discussion after receiving all the feedback.

  --------             --------
  Send Label Mapping
                       Recv Label Mapping
                       Send Label Release (due to Loop found).
  NHOP Changes
  Send Label Mapping
  (with new pv tlvs)

  Recv Label Release
                       Recv Label Mapping.

In the above scenario, "A" ends up with no label advertised to "B", But "B"
has received label from "A".

 Probably, the Label Release message should carry the message id (mandatory)
to indicate exactly this is an ack for which message.

Thanks,

	From a standards point of view, this cannot be done, since the mtu
extensions is not yet an RFC.

	Regarding the second point, I will send all comments together to
the list for review/discussion after receiving all the feedback.

Ina,

    From an IETF standards process perspective, what you say below is not
strictly correct. That does not mean that your conclusion is incorrect. :-)

    You cannot refer to the MTU extensions work in progress as a normative
reference until it is an RFC. However, if it turns out that LDP 
implementations
typically include these extensions and multiple such implementations are 
found
to not only include it but interoperate as well, then you certainly 
_could_ "fold
in" the actual contents (at least as actually implemented). In fact, if 
a number of
implementation reports indicated that implementing these extensions was 
needed
in order to achieve interoperability, you would have to do so.

    Assuming these extensions are not required to make LDP work (I 
believe this
to be the case) then the fact that you _could_ "fold in" the extensions 
does not
mean that you should. In fact, from the perspective that "options are 
(often) bad",
you should not.

    So, while I agree with the conclusion that we don't want to do this, 
I have to
object to the (possibly precedent setting) statement that "this cannot 
be done".

You're both missing a key point.  That does not mean your conclusion
is incorrect :-)

RFC 2026 says:

4.1.2  Draft Standard

   A specification from which at least two independent and interoperable
   implementations from different code bases have been developed, and
   for which sufficient successful operational experience has been
   obtained, may be elevated to the "Draft Standard" level.

While I think that the LDP MTU stuff is wonderful, folding it into a
DRAFT STANDARD is soooo tomorrow -- no implementation, let alone two
interoperable implementations (it is currently targeted as
Experimental just for this reason), no vast storehouse of deployment
experience, none of what it takes to take a doc to Draft status.

Let it mature for a few years, then we can re-evaluate.

The same principle should apply to anything else that people suggest
get put into the DS version of 3036, *even parts of 3036* that
haven't had enough exposure, implementation or deployment.

Kireeti.

I also agree that we should get rid of the host FEC type.

This should not be a requirement of the protocol spec, the application which
is using the protocol should determine which FECS get sent. 

> Issue: with all the combinations of Downstream Unsolicited, Downstream

I believe  this would  put a majority  of the  deployed LDP speakers  out of
spec.  Such a change cannot be made as part of going to DS.

Actually I disagree. If anyting we should have DU/IC , the ordered 
control caused lot's of operational problems , and it took almost a year 
to get it working properly. There are a number of situations that cause 
problems in ordered control mode , but not in independent control. Most 
of these issues are due to timing.

No sure I understand what you mean here.  LDP cannot know what path is 
selected, so it must send all the FECs.

	I agree. This is not a specification issue, but rather a
best-practice based on the application for which the protocol is used.
If you only need the loopbacks as FECs for your application, then it is
best if you _ask_ LDP to only redistribute the loopbacks, because it will
make your network easier to troubleshoot.

Ina,

Please note the following points:

- the LDP loop detection mechanisms do not make much sense in DU mode. 
This is the hop count TLV,  and the Path Vector TLV. ( When LDP 
interoperability testing was just starting , I had most vendors out 
there remove it for DU mode ). We should add something explicitly that 
says that these TLVs should not be used in DU mode. ( This is the 
current practice in all implementations that I know of )

- The Host FEC is accepted by most implementations I worked with , but 
sent by none. So I also think it's probably a good idea to remove it.

Luca

Hi,

I also think that removing Host FEC is a good idea

1. Is it possible to reserve less than requested in the flow-info without failing? If yes what should be forwarded to the upstream node?

2. What should be forwarded to the upstream node in case the peak data rate, which was received in flow was "positive inf"?

Thanks,
Joh

Yes, it is theoretically possible.

In RSVP (including RSVP-TE), the egress node decides what should go in 
the FLOWSPEC.  It may choose any amount of resources between zero and 
the least-upper-bound of the TSPEC and ADSPEC.  Larger values are legal, 
but the transit nodes will clip them to the TSPEC value, and they may 
result in admission-control errors if the resources are unavailable 
(which is what the ADSPEC is supposed to inform the egress node.)

In actual practice, with RSVP-TE, the value placed in the FLOWSPEC will 
be directly taken from the TSPEC.  This is because RSVP-TE is a 
router-to-router protocol.  An egress node generally will not be able to 
determine what (if any) smaller-size reservations might be acceptable to 
the application(s) that will ultimately be using the LSP.

(This is different from classical RSVP.  In classical RSVP, the 
signaling goes from application to application, so an egress node may 
have sufficient information to pick a smaller acceptable value.)

In terms of what this reduced-size reservation looks like, it is exactly 
like any other Resv message, but with less resources represented in the 
FLOWSPEC object.

If your egress node is going to start picking alternate QoS values, it 
will be up to that node to somehow try and figure out what values to use.

A positive-infinity value for a peak data rate effectively means "no 
limit - peak at everything available."  If you choose to reduce it to 
something else, a good first guess might be the available bandwidth 
reported by the ADSPEC object.  But unless your egress node has 
application-specific information, anything you generate has a good 
chance of being wrong.

Ina,

Please note the following points:

- the LDP loop detection mechanisms do not make much sense in DU mode. 
This is the hop count TLV,  and the Path Vector TLV. ( When LDP 
interoperability testing was just starting , I had most vendors out 
there remove it for DU mode ). We should add something explicitly that 
says that these TLVs should not be used in DU mode. ( This is the 
current practice in all implementations that I know of )

- The Host FEC is accepted by most implementations I worked with , but 
sent by none. So I also think it's probably a good idea to remove it.

Luca

Are there any updates on the PCE WG formation front ?
After the BOF session meeting minutes we didn't hear
anything further...just curious as to what the status
is.


Thanks !

We'll send the minutes very shortly. The creation of a PCE mailing list has 
been approved by Alex/Bill and should be done soon. As requested by Alex, 
the first goal will be to prepare an architecture ID which will be 
discussed soon on the mailing list.

Thanks.

JP.

Ina,

I tried to go through the LDP RFC to see if it specifically says that a 
wildcard
release message should be sent only in response to a wildcard withdraw 
message.

There may be a timing condition in which an upstream router may still hold
a label for which downstream router has removed it from the incoming label
database.

draft-ietf-pwe3-control-protocol-08.txt probably talks about a similar 
situation for
wildcard release for L2 FECs as below

"A wildcard  release message MUST include only the group ID. A Label Release
    message initiated from the imposition router must always include the 
   PW ID."

Any thoughts?

Regards,

Rama Ramakrishnan

How does it result in "misrouting"?

It seems to me that the appropriate place to address this issue is
in the protocol applicability document (i.e., rfc3037 as opposed to
rfc3036).

Packet misrouting can happen under the following circumstance. 
Consider the following L3-VPN network


A----------B----- ... ------Z

+ B sends a label mapping message for loop back address of Z to A using
  the independent control mode of operation. Let's call this label L10.

+ Z advertises label L100 for one of its VPN routes to A via MP-BGP.

+ B could also be a PE and could have allocated label value L100
  to one of its links to a CE device it is connecting to.

+ Receiving L10 for the loop back address of Z, A will be under the 
+ impression
  that it has a full path to Z.

+ A starts transmitting packets with outer label L10 and inner label 
+ L100. Meanwhile
  no label representing the loop back address of Z has arrived at B. 

+ B receives the labeled packet and pops L10.

+ B then proceeds with the processing of L100.

+ B recognizes L100 as a local label and transmits the un labeled packet 
+ to the
  wrong CE device.

It seems to me that the appropriate place to address this issue is in the
protocol applicability document (i.e., rfc3037 as opposed to rfc3036).

Hello Kireeti and George,

In draft-ietf-mpls-lsp-ping-06.txt page 20, there is a
paragraph saying:

"In "traceroute" mode (fault isolation mode), the TTL
is set successively to 1, 2, ..."

Transit node is suppose to send an Echo Reply
message back with Downstream Mapping object(s).
However, I am just wondering: when the transit node
receives an MPLS packet with TTL expiration, how would
it know the MPLS payload (Echo Request in this case)
is an IP packet(In general, payload could be IPv4,
IPv6, Martini, etc)? If transit node does not know the
MPLS payload, how could it assume that it is an IP/UDP
packet and parse it as an Echo Request? 

Thanks,
Fugui

This behavior of B appears to be in violation of the spirit (if not the
letter) of the advice in Section 3.22 (Lack of Outgoing Label) of rfc3031.

Unless label L10 refers to B itself (which it doesn't in the scenario
described above), forwarding the packet according to the label beneath
it (L100) is a forwarding error.

In addition to Bob's observation, one of the "known bugs" with MPLS/BGP
is that the BGP peers MUST know (in some un-specified way) that there is
a continuous LSP from peer to peer before they can use the LSP to carry
MPLS/BGP labeled packets. In this case, the ingress PE should not have
forwarded the packet using the MPLS/BGP label without "knowing" that=20
the LSP was continuous peer to peer. An example technique might rely on
the Hop-Count loop detection mechanism, possibly in conjunction with an
IGP routing protocol.

As Bob points out, if the LSP is incomplete, the LSR where it terminates
SHOULD discard the labeled packets it receives. Remembering that the LSR
in the example gave the label L10 out for a FEC for Z, that LSR SHOULD
be
anticipating that it would forward the enclosed packet toward Z. Finding
that the underlying packet is not - as expected - an un-labeled packet
(it
SHOULD expect this, because it does not have a downstream mapping for a
FEC corresponding to Z), it SHOULD discard the packet without processing

further. This would result in black-holing the packets, rather than mis-
directing them - and would actually be because of a misguided MPLS/BGP
implementation, rather than an LDP problem.

Even if the LSR did do further processing, it is NOT correct for the LSR
to=20
assume that it issued the underlying label - since (as Bob points out)
it
did not issue the original (freshly popped) label (L10) for itself as a
destination FEC. Looking further, it would see that it did not receive=20
any such label from the next hop for FEC Z, either, and would then
discard
the packet. If the LSR pops a label expecting to have terminated an LSP
(in other words, not as a result of PHP) associated with an IPv4 FEC, it

should expect the underlying packet to be an IPv4 packet and discard it
if
it is not.

We should write specifications to tell people what they need to do the
right thing, not to tell them all the wrong things they should not do.
