A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Next Steps in Signaling Working Group of the IETF.


	Title           : NSIS Operation Over IP Tunnels
	Author(s)       : C. Shen, et al.
	Filename        : draft-ietf-nsis-tunnel-07.txt
	Pages           : 26
	Date            : 2009-12-03

NSIS QoS signaling enables applications to perform QoS reservation
along a data flow path.  When the data flow path contains IP tunnel
segments, NSIS QoS signaling has no effect within those tunnel
segments and the resulting QoS-untended tunnel segments could become
the weakest QoS link and invalidate the QoS efforts in the rest of
the end-to-end path.  The problem with NSIS signaling within the
tunnel is caused by the tunnel encapsulation which masks packets'
original IP header fields.  Those original IP header fields are
needed to intercept NSIS signaling messages and classify QoS data
packets.  This document defines a solution to this problem by mapping
end-to-end QoS session requests to corresponding QoS sessions in the
tunnel, thus extending the end-to-end QoS signaling into the IP
tunnel segments.

Hi,

It was raised by Joel Halpern in his Gen-art review and I personally
have question marks about the intended status of Informational. I think
it would make more sense to publish this document as Experimental.

Please voice your opinion.

Cheers

I don't see that much difference. Since all nsis specs are going for exp, 
i guess qspec might as well.

As long as an implementer is able to leave with the dual token bucket 
spec, that is enough for me. If I need to choose, I'd typically take the 
simpler approach of two options, and would remove the Bp, but I don't 
have a strong opinion either way.

If no one really objects, we'll just keep the Bp since it is has been in 
the spec for quite some time.

Hi Jerry

I think that the reason of removing the  "Maximum Packet Size [M]
(32-bit unsigned integer)" parameter from the QSPEC specification was
that this parameter is only relevant for some QoS models that are used
on an end-to-end basis, such as Y.1541 QOSM. I would therefore prefer
that this parameter should not be specified in the QSPEC draft.
In my opinion this parameter should be specified as an TMOD extension in
any QoS model that needs it. I believe that Y.1541 QOSM already does
specify the "Maximum Packet Size [M] (32-bit unsigned integer)"
parameter in Section 3.1.

Best regards,
Georgios

Georgios,
=A0
The maximum packet size (M) sub-parameter is a required element of the traf=
fic model (TMOD) parameter specified in the QSPEC.=A0 TMOD is modeled after=
 the RSVP Tspec parameter (see RFC 2210=A0http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc=
2210.txt=A0and RFC 2212 http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2212.txt), which c=
onsists of 5 sub-parameters:=20
=A0
rate (r)
bucket size (b)
peak rate (p)
minimum policed unit (m)
maximum packet size (M)
=A0
The TMOD parameter=A0is mandatory for the QNI to include in the initiator Q=
SPEC and mandatory for downstream QNEs to interpret.=A0 As such, the TMOD p=
arameter and M sub-parameter apply to ALL QOSM's, including Y.1541, RMD, et=
c., and must be used by them.
=A0
As explained in the attached email below, the M sub-parameter was erroneous=
ly=A0removed from the QSPEC in version 5 when it was incorrectly assumed th=
at automatic discovery of MTU would also apply to M.=A0 It does not, MTU=A0=
and M are not the same parameter.=A0 Fortunately this error was recently br=
ought to our attention by Al Morton (and earlier by Bernd Schloer).
=A0
Therefore M needs to be put back in the QSPEC, as Jukka has correctly agree=
d.
=A0
Thanks,
Jerry

Hi Jerry

I think that the reason of removing the=A0 "Maximum Packet Size [M]
(32-bit unsigned integer)" parameter from the QSPEC specification was
that this parameter is only relevant for some QoS models that are used
on an end-to-end basis, such as Y.1541 QOSM. I would therefore prefer
that this parameter should not be specified in the QSPEC draft.
In my opinion this parameter should be specified as an TMOD extension in
any QoS model that needs it. I believe that Y.1541 QOSM already does
specify the "Maximum Packet Size [M] (32-bit unsigned integer)"
parameter in Section 3.1.

Best regards,
Georgios

Magnus,
=A0
I agree with you and Joel=A0that the QSPEC document should be published as =
Experimental.=A0 QoS-NSLP (Experimental) and QSPEC are companion documents =
to a common specification; I've never understood why the QSPEC was designat=
ed Informational.

Hi,

It was raised by Joel Halpern in his Gen-art review and I personally
have question marks about the intended status of Informational. I think
it would make more sense to publish this document as Experimental.

Please voice your opinion.

Cheers

Hi Jerry

As long as the current specified QSPEC processing rules are not affected
it is okay with me to include the maximum packet size (M) subparameter
into TMOD.

Furthermore, please see in line!

Georgios: The NSIS WG had decided to use only 4 parameters, see QSPEC
draft (v.22):, section 3.3.1:
o rate (r) specified in octets per second
o bucket size (b) specified in octets
o peak rate (p) specified in octets per second
o minimum policed unit (m) specified in octets

>=A0
>The TMOD parameter=A0is mandatory for the QNI to include in the initiator QS=
PEC and mandatory for downstream QNEs to interpret.=A0 As such, the TMOD para=
meter and M sub-parameter apply to ALL QOSM's, including Y.1541, RMD, etc., a=
nd must be used by them.

Georgios: I think that the QSPEC draft describes in a good way how TMOD
is processed by QNEs and local QoS models.

>=A0
>As explained in the attached email below, the M sub-parameter was erroneousl=

automatic discovery of MTU would also apply to M.=A0 It does not, MTU=A0and M=
 are not the same parameter.=A0 Fortunately this error was recently brought t=
o our attention by Al Morton (and earlier by Bernd Schloer).

Georgios: Please note that the maximum packet size (M) subparameter was
removed in v.13 of the QSPEC draft. In v.12 of the QSPEC draft the
maximum packet size (M) subparameter was specified, see Section 7.2.2 of
version 12 of the QSPEC.
So I do not know what was the reason of removing the M subparameter from
TMOD.

However, as long as the current QSPEC/TMOD processing rules are not
affected it is okay with me to include the maximum packet size (M)
subparameter into TMOD.

Best regards,
Georgios
