Hi,

 

During graceful restart (as specified in RFC 3623), if an ABR completes
its adjacency formations in one area, BEFORE it discovers neighbors in
another area, it will exit GR using the router LSA checks. (I am
assuming that the pre-restart router and net lsas are not stored in
non-volatile memory across GR and are received from peers).

After GR exit, it will form adjacencies with the neighbors in the other
areas leading to network downtime since the forwarding table is updated
with the current route entries. This defeats the purpose of a GR. This
is in spite of using a sufficiently large grace period.

While implementations can overcome this problem with proprietary timers,
flags and other hacks, would it not be better if the Graceful restart
protocol specification itself could address this scenario?

 

Thanks,
Ashok

This is incorrect. The GR should not exit GR until it has recovered all 
its database - which means *all* its areas
implicitly.

Router-lsa check allows you only to determine that a particular area is 
done.

It's for compatability with RFC 1850; ospfAuthType, ospfIfAuthType and
ospfVirtIfAuthType were all pseudo-enumerations and are now all
of type OspfAuthenticationType.

To get the TC controlled by IANA, it would be seperated out into
a seperate MIB module (perhaps IANA-OSPF-MIB) and imported, and
the right boilerplate inserted to say that IANA-OSPF-MIB is maintained
by the IANA, right?

Folks,

I was listening to the OSPF session today from my office,
and would like to make some comments and answer some
questions regarding OSPF-MDR (Manet Designated Routers).

I will address the comments/questions from Fred Baker and the
person who explained that MPRs can be selected in zero time :-)
and will then comment on the simulations presented by Stan.

First I want to make an observation.  The people who favor OSPF-MDR
are the ones who took the time to understand it well.
Therefore, it is important for people to read the OSPF-MDR draft:

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ogier-manet-ospf-extension-05.txt

For an overview, here is a presentation of OSPF-MDR similar
to the one Phil presented at the OSPF session:

http://home.earthlink.net/~ogier/mdr_nov05.ppt

Fred Baker mentioned a possible drawback of the fact
that MDRs and Backup MDRs are a natural generalization
of the DR and Backup DR of an OSPF broadcast network.
He said that a problem can occur if an obstacle separates
the DR and Backup DR.  Actually, in a fully connected network
(similar to a broadcast network), OSPF-MDR actually selects
one MDR and *two* Backup MDRs. This is necessary to ensure that
the backbone consisting of (Backup) MDRs is biconnected.
As a result, if the link between the MDR and first Backup MDR
is broken, the second Backup MDR will forward LSAs between
these two routers.  This is no accident - it is the reason
for having a biconnected backbone.  At first, I was worried
that a second Backup MDR was selected, since OSPF does not
do this, but I am happy that this actually solves a known
drawback of OSPF that Fred Baker mentioned.

Next, I will address the comment of the person who explained
that MPRs can be selected in zero time.  I think he means that
any router can select itself as a Backup MPR (or overlapping relay)
if it can cover any neighbors that are not covered by the
sending neighbor.  Since all neighbors must be considered,
I think this takes O(n) time, not zero time, where n is the
number of neighbors.
In OSPF-MDR, Backup MDRs are preselected for the same purpose
as Backup MPRs (in case a primary relay fails to forward the LSA).
(Backup) MDRs are selected in O(n^2) time, same as MPRs.

One may ask the following: Why not allow any router to be a Backup MDR,
similar to the Overlapping Relay solution which allows any router to be
a Backup MPR?  I thought about this, but excluded it partly because it
is not scalable (explained below).  Also, it not necessary, since
it turns out that biconnected redundancy is sufficient for
good performance.  The reason it is not scalable is because there
can be a large number of routers that are potential Backup MPRs.
If this number is large enough, then it is possible for several of
these routers to forward the LSA at approximately the same time.

Regarding Stan's simulations comparing Smart Peering with MPRs
(which provides a 1-connected adjacency graph), with a version
of OSPF-MDR that provides a biconnected adjacency graph, my
first comment (as you might guess) is that it is not fair
to compare an algorithm that provides a 1-connected adjacency
graph with one that provides a biconnected adjacency graph.
For a fair comparison, the *uniconnected* option of OSPF-MDR
should be used.  (As I was listening to the session, I was
frustated that nobody mentioned this!)

The rest of this message is part of a message that I sent to
the wireless design team this morning.

I ran MDR with 1-connected adjacencies on the 50 node scenario
that Cisco used with radio rage = 200 and velocity = 16.
(Cisco used biconnected adjacencies for MDR, which was not a fair
comparison.)
The results are shown below for three choices of LSAFullness:
0 for Minimum LSAs, 2 for MDR Full LSAs, and 3 for Full LSAs.

The resulting delivery ratios were .834, .839, and .849 for MDR,
compared to .833 for MPRs in the same scenario, so delivery ratio
is comparable.

The resulting UDP forwards were 6265, 6255, and 5487 for MDR,
compared to 10627 for MPRs, so much longer paths were obtained
with MPRs.

The resulting total overheads were 177.59, 257.33, and 500.61
(the last one is for Full LSAs) compared to 457.24 for MPRs.

Although MDR with Full LSAs resulted in more overhead than MPRs,
the other two choices of LSAs performed better than MPRs in
all of the above metrics.  The most notable result is the very
long paths produced by MPRs, which is probably caused by a bug.

Another point is that Cisco considered very sparse networks
(e.g., radio range = 100m), which frequently partition.
Such networks necessarily have a very low delivery ratio
(e.g., 38%) due to partitions, so I am not sure how important
such scenarios are to us.

Additional comments and questions are welcome.

Richard Ogier

I'm looking into possible options for the 3rd party OSPF stack.
The requirement is that it should seamlessly integrate with Linux IP
stack.
It should also provide quality and robust implementation.

Does anyone have experience with OSPF implantations from:
- IP Infusion
- Zebra group
- Quagga group
- John Moy's OSPF (www.ospf.org?
I would love to hear your honest opinion about those implantations.

Are there other options you would recommend?

Regards,
Piotr

Piotr,

I would suggest putting this question to the vendors directly - DCL,
Nexthop, IpInfusion, Futuresoft, Netplane etc. Or even to one of the zebra
or gated mailing lists.

Or the Quagga list for Quagga, obviously ;). See 
http://lists.quagga.net. FWIW, there are other OSPF implementations 
running on Linux and other Unix platforms, see:

 	XORP: http://www.xorp.org/
 	Bird: http://bird.network.cz/

The OSPF implementation in XORP is derived from Moy's implementation, 
IIRC/TTBOMK/etc.

Not quite Linux, but the OpenBSD people are working on their own OSPF 
implementation, OpenOSPFd - no formal release yet. See:

 	http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.sbin/ospfd/

All,

Please see my comments below, in the context of the OSPF minutes.
Comments made at a WG session can be misleading, and there is often
not enough time at the meeting to present opposing viewpoints.
I am posting this message for this reason, and to help people
understand OSPF-MDR better.
I am posting this to both the OSPF and MANET lists.
(There is some overlap with my previous post to the OSPF list, but I
tried to give fewer opinions and more supporting facts this time.)

I also recall that Fred Baker mentioned that OSPF has a problem when
the DR and Backup DR are separated by an obstacle. This may be true
for (unmodified) OSPF, but OSPF-MDR is an extension of OSPF that has
been shown to perform well in MANETs, so this comment does not apply
to OSPF-MDR.

In a fully connected MANET, OSPF-MDR does closely resemble OSPF in
a broadcast network, since both protocols will select the same two
routers as DR/MDR and Backup DR/MDR, and each adjacency has a DR/MDR
or Backup DR/MDR as one of its endpoints. In this sense, OSPF-MDR is
a generalization of OSPF, i.e., an OSPF broadcast network can be
considered a special case of a MANET. But even in a fully connected
MANET, there are a few differences to make OSPF-MDR more robust
(e.g., it selects a 2nd Backup MDR to provide a biconnected
backbone).

transients.

The above statement is miseading.  First of all, the difference that
Alvaro is referring to is a design choice that can be applied to *either*
MDRs or MPRs, i.e., the issue does not favor one core approach over
the other.  In Cisco's solution (draft-chandra-ospf-manet-ext-03) any
neighbor of a router that floods an LSA can potentially forward the LSA
after PushbackInterval).  (Such neighbors are called non-active
overlapping relays or Backup MPRs.)
A similar mechanism could be used in OSPF-MDR, so that any router
could act as a Backup MDR and thus forward a flooded LSA.
SO THIS TECHNIQUE CAN BE USED WITH *EITHER* APPROACH.

The problem with this technique (in both approaches) is that
in a very dense network, there will be a very large number of such
Backup MPRs/MDRs, and even with jitter, a certain fraction of these
will forward the LSA - so the number of neighbors that forward
a given LSA will be proportional to the node degree - as a result,
the flooding overhead is no longer linear in the number of nodes
and the protocol is no longer scalable.

One might argue that we don't need to support more than about 50
neighbors, but as a design principle I prefer to maintain scalability
and ensure that the overhead is (approximately) linear in the number
of nodes.

The way this is done in OSPF-MDR is to select MDRs and Backup MDRs,
to form a biconnected backbone that is used both for flooding
and for defining adjacencies (same as OSPF).
This is done in O(d^2) time, just as MPRs (active overlapping relays)
are selected in O(d^2) time, where d is node degree.
The criticism seems to be that flooding will not be done if two
(Backup) MDRs fail at the same time, until a new MDR is selected.

1. First of all, the probability of this happening is small,
and in fact it usually takes the failure of more than
two (Backup) MDRs to partition the biconnected backbone
(because MDRs are selected based on local information, so
there is usually more than biconnected redundancy).
I.e., the event that the backbone becomes partitioned
is a rare event.

2. Second, in the rare event that the backbone becomes
partitioned, a new MDR will be selected within a few
seconds, based on 2-hop information from Hellos.
How detrimental is it to experience a few seconds delay
(in flooding LSAs) on rare occasions?

The important question is, whether or not you believe the
above claims, how does OSPF-MDR perform in mobile networks?
So far, it seems to perform as well as MPRs in terms of
delivery ratio.  If there is a problem with robustness,
it should show up in the delivery ratio.

And as I mentioned, if necessary, the technique of allowing
any router to be a Backup MDR *could* be employed.  But I
don't think it will be necessary or beneficial.

 >
 >   - High Mobility Scenarios with MPRs and MDRs (Refer to presentations)
 >      Stan Ratliff

Here, I will just summarize my comments regarding Stan's simulation
results that I previously posted on the OSPF list.  First of all,
Stan compared MPRs with Smart Peering, which creates a 1-connected
adjacency graph, to the *biconnected* version of OSPF-MDR, which is
not a fair comparison.  For fairness, it should be compared to the
1-connected version of OSPF-MDR.  Second, the routes obtained with Smart
Peering were much longer than the ones obtained with OSPF-MDR, which
should not be the case since both methods use full LSAs and thus should
produce min-hop paths. This and other anomalies in the simulation
statistics indicate that there is probably a bug.  Also, the simulations
emphasized sparse networks - I think that performance should also be
compared in dense networks.  Anyway, I'm sure that future simulations
will provide a fair comparison.

At the last IETF, Tom Henderson updated both the OSPF and MANET working
groups on the status of the design team and our inability to reach 
concensus which
of the two flooding reduction algorithms to go select. We (chairs/design 
team) decide to
open up the debate to the entire OSPF and MANET WGs. The discussions
were to be take place on the OSPF WG list. However, after the Vancouver
IETF, many felt a separate focused list would be more appropriate.

Toward this purpose, I have created ospf-manet@ietf.org.

  https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ospf-manet

Please subscribe if you are interested in this participating 
in or following this discussion. Tom's IETF presentation provides

Hi,
I am not able to understand the idea behind generating router-lsa. A router 
may originate one or more router-LSAs for a given area. what is the idea 
behind generating multiple router-lsa. A single router-lsa cannot 
accomadate about all the info of the different links of the router? since 
in ospfv2 router-lsa can accomadate all the info about the links in the 
router.  Can anyone clarify me on this regard.
Thanks in advance
vishnu

Hi Vishnu,

The primary motivation is to orginate a router-LSA that will fit in a
single OSPFv3 Link
State Update packet without requiring fragmentation.

Hope this helps,
Acee

We once checked the relation between link flapping and
OSPF fixed timer. In the paper we solved that by applying
dampening function similar with BGP's.

http://www.sfc.wide.ad.jp/~yasu/saint2003.pdf

The experiment was done by Zebra ospf6d.
Unfortunately I removed the dampening code since then,
because there seemed no interest.

Let me know if you want further info.

yasu

Dear WGs,

Raymond Zhang, Jean-Louis Le Roux and myself have been discussing for  
a while about the idea of the formation of a new Working Group at the  
IETF (under the OPS area) in order to discuss operational issues  
related to the use of multi-technologies in the context of protection/ 
restoration. This was motivated by a number of discussions that we  
had with Service Providers expressing some interest in this topic.

For the sake of illustration,
     (1) How to use Fast IGP in conjunction with MPLS TE FRR ?
     (2) How to use Graceful Restart with Fast IGP or IPFRR ?
     (3) Multi-technology protection/restoration OAM
      - ...

Indeed, there are many cases where such protection/restoration/HA  
technologies may interact thus triggering potential race conditions  
if not used appropriately.

The aim of such potential Working Group would be to discuss these  
issues, document deployment models, ... and potentially come up with  
problem statements leading to new protocol requirements. Note that  
the goal of such WG would NOT be to work on protocol extensions but  
to analyze the problems statements, document combination  
strategies, ... Protocol extensions would be worked out in other WGs  
(likely in Routing area).

We had a first informal meeting in Vancouver with: Bruno Decraene  
(FT), Eiji Oki (NTT), Yuichi Ikejiri (NTT), Kenji Kumaki (KDDI),  
Javier Achirica (Telefonica), Deborah Brungard (ATT), Jaime Miles  
(Level 3) and Alberto Tempia (Telecom Italia), Jean-Louis and myself.  
In this meeting, we got positive feed-back on the usefulness of this  
work.

In the meantime we also received positive feed-back from a number of  
other Service Providers.

A short ID should be posted soon proposing a problem statement.

The OPS Area Directors (Bert and David) gave us the approval to  
create a mailing list to see whether this topic is of interest to the  
IETF community in which case a BOF may be approved for the next IETF.  
If you are interested, please join the mailing list and contribute to  
this work.
     mter@ietf.org: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/mter

Thanks.

JP, Jean-Louis and Raymond.

Note:  This message is intended to start new discussions.  Replies
**only** to ospf-manet@ietf.org.

Now that we have established a list for this activity, I would like to
suggest that the first order of business should be to agree upon a fair
process whereby the OSPF WG is in a position to move forward on an OSPF
MANET design by the March meeting.   =20

A first step should be to agree upon what we are trying to decide.  I
believe that we are trying to decide upon whether the basis for
efficient flooding and topology control for OSPF MANET should be a
source-independent connected dominating set (specifically, Ogier's MDR
proposal) or a source-dependent connected dominating set (specifically,
Overlapping Relays with Smart Peering). =20

I also believe that, unless it is proven that the two current designs
have significant performance differences in different operating
environments, we are trying to downselect to one OSPF MANET design, not
to define the operating regions most applicable to two separate designs.

A second step should be to agree on evaluation criteria and scenarios,
to address the comments at the WG meeting that the previously used
scenarios were too narrow.  This should be agreed upon within the next
month or so, based on list discussion.  The scenarios/criteria need to
be feasible to achieve in the timeframe of this evaluation.

A third step should be to allow time for the interested parties to study
the proposed approaches in light of the above criteria.  Simulation or
implementation experiments can be used to support arguments, but are not
required in any or all cases.  I will take the action item to integrate
the new Cisco code and post a new evaluation software release.

A fourth step is to have any interested party submit a short position
draft on the issue at hand.  The position draft should be page limited
(e.g., 10 pages) so that it is more accessible to a wider WG review,
although it may reference additional supporting material.  It would be
recommended but not required that any simulation or implementation
scripts used to justify the arguments be made available at this time as
well (private simulation results should probably be treated with less
confidence by the WG).  Drafts should not be allowed later than the I-D
cutoff date, and the publishing of such a draft should be required to
make a formal presentation on this topic at the Dallas meeting.=20

The fifth step is to have discussion on the list between the I-D cutoff
and the meeting, and presentations and discussions at the Dallas
meeting.

Comments?

This version addresses comments during the previous WG last call. Due to 
the
scope of the ASON requirements and their focus on OSPFv2, we have elected
not to try and address ASON requirements in this draft. Please take a 
look at it.

I know of at least one implementation - any others?

Thanks,
Acee

This presupposes emulations are "the" way to evaulate the proposals. In 
fact, I believe we need to do more traditional work here, such as 
examining pathological cases. For instance:

o Is there a point in the mobility graph where the protocol mechanism 
simply won't converge when real rachability should be available in the 
network?

o Is there a specific event that will cause a long outage in 
reachability when physical reachability still exists?

o How much change to existing code do the proposed mechanisms cause? One 
of the reasons we're using OSPF here is to reuse as much of a known 
working protocol as possible in a different environment. If the proposed 
changes change entire sections of the OSPF code (1,000 lines sounds 
trivial, until you realize that most OSPF implementations are probably 
only 12,000 lines of code, and 1/12th doesn't sound so trivial any 
longer), then we don't want to mess with it--better to use a new protocol.

o How extensible, into the future, are the proposed changes? Are they 
currently "at the end of the line," as optimal as they will ever get, or 
are there other areas of exploration to be done? If one mechanism has 
optimized all it can, and another shows similar improvements, but has 
many more possible optimizations, it's better to go with one that can be 
further optimized.

These are the sorts of things we normally look at when examining a 
protocol change, rather than basing the change simply on simulation 
results. We all realize implementations have a huge impact on 
performance (you can implement SPF as n^2, or n(log n), for instance), 
and that you learn how to improve performance over time. Basing an 
initial modification based on simple performance in a simulator is the 
wrong way to work at the problem. Imagine the IETF choosing between 
IS-IS and OSPF based on simulation work (!).

Simulations are interesting, but they don't indicate much of anything, 
until you get to simulating on real routers, and possibly even real 
radios (although I'm not so certain about that part, for various reasons).

Interesting,

	I was thinking on the same lines. But specific items
	also come to mind.

	* negotiated initialization params to ease adj formations.
	  Ex: LDP peer negotiation. Wouldn't this allow a peer
	  to move easier from area to area with diff adj params?

	* freq (in the case of mobility) drops of pkts where a
	session / connection oriented scheme may be warranted.
	Wouldn't we want to handoff to TCP these cases for rexmits???

	* a very low overhead of periodic summation of parts of
	the LSDB so a pull method vs a push method of updates
	can  be implimneted. Would this work better in the cases
	where a small number of peers are mobile? And scale using
	multicast where a larger nbr of peers are mobile? The
	trusted mobile peers make the requests and if trusted,
	use targeted hellos or .. AND responses are either uc or mc
	depending on the nbr of outstanding reqs.
	Ex: a mix of IS-IS and partial OSPF LSDB chksums..

	* a spec'ed method to deter transit routing.

	* ??a spec'ed method to inform that a host is reaching a point
	  between two handoff routers and if possible defer delivery
	  of its pkts??

	* a spec'ed method to state that a transition from a 2G to
	a 3G type connection (or vice versa) is occuring?

	* etc..

	So, I am assuming that we are talking about a really diff
	type of envs versus current OSPF envs. Yes, I ask alot,
	but this is a new env and done right could superseed
	our current envs.
