Bob and Phil in particular have expressed interest in documenting a mode of 
operation whereby PCN information is "piggybacked" on top of resource 
signalling. One of the desirable properties of this is fate sharing: if the 
message from the egress node goes missing, the flow is not admitted.

We co-authors of the signalling requirements document had a discussion today to 
clarify the content of our draft. It was clear to me as a result of this 
discussion that piggybacking has to be treated as a separate edge behaviour. 
This behaviour differs from CL and SM because:

(1) it assumes that resource signalling is being used;

(2) it assumes that the egress node makes the admission decision for each flow 
based on its current CLI estimate, whereas CL and SM both assume the per-flow 
decision is made elsewhere;

I propose to write a separate draft describing this edge behaviour.

If the piggybacking edge behaviour is restricted to admission control only, it 
has no signalling requirements above those already defined for resource 
signalling. There is no point in transporting the CLI estimate back to the 
ingress node given that the egress node is the place where it is used.

The interesting question is whether we would want the piggybacking edge 
behaviour to support flow termination. If it does, a signalling requirement 
exists, to transport the current estimate of supportable rate back to the 
ingress node. I think it is up for discussion whether this information would be 
piggybacked in the per-flow resource signalling or sent by a separate message. 
If the latter is the case, I would argue that the transport solution(s) 
specified for PCN should be used, whatever it is/they are.

Note that the charter says PCN can define the requirements for a signalling 
protocol, but cannot specify the protocol itself. That means it's someone else's 
job to say what PCN's signalling transport is. (AD bait here -- I think the 
charter was written making some unstated assumptions.) We can't assume resource 
signalling will be the chosen vehicle, taking note that if it is chosen, 
Ruediger's network will not support it.

Hi Tom,

I thought that Bob's and Phil's proposal with piggybacking was the 
following. If many RESV messages are sent from the egress to the ingress 
to do per-flow resource signalling, the per ingress-egress-aggregate 
information from the egress to the ingress can be piggybacked on top of 
these per-flow RESV messages. That's what I understood when talking to 
them last time.

Bob, Phil, can you clarify, please?

Kind regards,

    Michael

OK, I'll bite :-)

It's not so much unstated assumption as a strong desire to not charter  
open-ended WGs, so we tried very hard to chop off the smallest  
possible set of initial work items when the WG was chartered. So  
important stuff is missing until after a recharter (e.g., inter-domain  
behavior, etc.) For signaling specifically, at charter time it sounded  
like there were multiple different use cases (ITU-T etc.) some of  
which had pre-existing signaling protocols and which wanted to roll in  
PCN support into whatever their broader architecture was. Hence, we  
decided to not mandate one signaling protocol.

If that's now different, we can definitely talk about what to do at  
rechartering time (when a few more of your initial work items are  
nearing completion...)

Hi

I think what Michael says basically agrees with what tom says (?)

For admission control there seem to be 2 cases, basically as tom says:

- where pcn signalling fate shares with existing resource signalling, eg
by "piggybacking" in the RESV msgs
- where pcn signalling doesn't fate share with existing resource
signalling, eg a special pcn msg carries pcn info.=20

They key difference is that the first assumes there is an existing
resource signalling mechanism, whilst the second needs reliability on
the special pcn msg

Tom, I don't see you difference (2) as significant - I think that the
admission decision can be made at the ingress or egress for either [the
case of centralised decision point makes no difference; if you want to
fate share pcn signalling & resource signalling, then clearly the latter
must go through the centralised node]

for Flow termination
Signalling of pcn info can use the existing resource signalling - if the
latter allows asynchronous msgs. So for resource signalling protocols
that don't support this, then you have to use a special psn msg=20

Best wishes,
phil

Hi Tom,

I thought that Bob's and Phil's proposal with piggybacking was the=20
following. If many RESV messages are sent from the egress to the ingress

to do per-flow resource signalling, the per ingress-egress-aggregate=20
information from the egress to the ingress can be piggybacked on top of=20
these per-flow RESV messages. That's what I understood when talking to=20
them last time.

Bob, Phil, can you clarify, please?

Kind regards,

[PTT] No. You are confounding the per-flow decision with the reporting of an 
admission state that conditions that decision. The actual decision whether to 
admit a specific flow can be made at the egress node only when resource 
signalling is being used. Otherwise it MUST be made elsewhere.

[PTT] No. You are confounding the per-flow decision with the reporting
of an=20
admission state that conditions that decision. The actual decision
whether to=20
admit a specific flow can be made at the egress node only when resource=20
signalling is being used. Otherwise it MUST be made elsewhere.

[phil] don't agree with this MUST - you can make the decision wherever
and this then sets what signalling msgs are needed.=20
But sure, I think it's fine for the i-d covering the case without the
resource signalling to assume that the actual decision is not at the
egress.

Creation_date:=09 2009-10-19
WG ID:=09=09 Independent Submission
Number_of_pages: 11

Abstract:
Precongestion notification (PCN) is a means for protecting quality of
service for inelastic traffic admitted to a Diffserv domain. The
overall PCN architecture is described in RFC 5559. This memo
describes the requirements for the signaling applied within the PCN
domain, to carry PCN content from the PCN-egress-node towards either
the PCN-ingress-node or towards the centralised decision point.

Hi Georgios, Tom, Kwok and Michael,

The draft looks well-structured to me. It is great that you put the
requirements for signaling from PCN-egress-nodes to PCN-ingress-nodes and
the requirements for PCN-egress-node to centralised decision point signaling
into different sections, which makes requirements very clear for different
scenarios. It is also worth mentioning that you covers both scenarios, which
makes the draft integrated. In short, well done!

One minor comment about section 3. The identifier of the
ingress-egress-aggregate or the PCN-ingress-node should normally be included
in the signalling between PCN-egress-node and centralised decision point in
order to distinguish different ingress-egress-aggregates, which is another
difference between the two different kinds of signallings.


Best regards,
Fortune

As promised, draft-taylor-pcn-piggyback-edge-behaviour-00 has been posted. Here 
is the Abstract:

Abstract

    Precongestion notification (PCN) is a means for protecting quality of
    service for inelastic traffic admitted to a Diffserv domain.  The
    overall PCN architecture is described in RFC 5559.  This memo
    describes a behaviour for PCN egress nodes known as the
    "piggybacking" edge behaviour, because it "piggybacks" PCN
    information in resource signalling messages.  This version of the
    memo describes two alternatives, where piggybacking is derived from
    the CL edge behaviour and where it is derived from the SM edge
    behaviour.  The SM and CL edge behaviours are specified in companion
    documents.

I will be updating the other two edge behaviour drafts shortly. Some other work 
I have been involved in has taken a great deal of time.

 Hi all

During the last two IETF meetings I had promissed to publish the HOSE edge
behaviour draft.

Via the following URL you can find this draft:

http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-karagiannis-pcn-hose-edge-behaviour-00.txt

If you have any comments please let me know!

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

   Abstract ++

   Precongestion notification (PCN) is a means for protecting quality of
   service for inelastic traffic admitted to a Diffserv domain.  The
   overall PCN architecture is described in RFC 5559.  This memo is one
   of a series describing possible boundary node behaviours for a PCN
   domain.  The behaviour described here is denoted as the HOSE model.
   In this document the term HOSE is referring to the
   aggregation of incoming traffic from all ingress edges, which is
   associated with one traffic class, i.e., PHB, towards one egress
   edge.  This type of HOSE model is equivalent to the Multiple Point to
   Point (MP2P) type of aggregation.

   The HOSE model ensures bandwidth limits without the need of
   maintaining per each ingress and egress pair ingress-egress-
   aggregated states.  In this case all edges maintain one aggregated
   state per each traffic class, i.e., PHB (Per Hop Behaviour), used in
   the PCN domain. Moreover, the HOSE model is able to provide solutions
   for the ECMP (Equal Cost Multi Path) problem for both admission
   control and flow termination procedures.

Georgios

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Congestion and Pre-Congestion Notification Working Group of the IETF.


	Title           : Pre-Congestion Notification Encoding Comparison
	Author(s)       : K. Chan, et al.
	Filename        : draft-ietf-pcn-encoding-comparison-01.txt
	Pages           : 36
	Date            : 2009-10-26

A number of mechanisms have been proposed to support differential
Qualiy of Service for packets in the Internet.  DiffServ is an
example of such a mechanism.  However, the level of assurance that
can be provided with DiffServ without substantial over-provisioning
is limited.  Pre-Congestion Notification (PCN) uses path congestion
information across a PCN region to enable per-flow admission control
to provide the required service guarantees for the admitted traffic.
While admission control will protect the QoS under normal operating
conditions, an additional flow termination mechanism is necessary to
cope with extreme events (e.g. route changes due to link or node
failure).

In order to allow the PCN mechanisms to work it is necessary for IP
packets to be able to carry the pre-congestion information to the PCN
egress nodes.  This document collects the lessons learned as we
explore the different ways in which this information can be encoded
into IP packets.  This document does not choose the encoding but
provide information on trade offs with the encoding choices,
providing guidance based on different criteria.  This document
provides a historical trace of the consideration on different
encoding alternatives for Pre-Congestion Notification.

Hi Phil,

I'm not a staunch supporter of termination. I'm having a question =
related=20
to termination of small aggregates.

Assume 10% excess marked traffic at a particular egress.

- 5 flows for IEA1
- 3 flows for IEA2

Each flow consumes the same bandwidth.=20

I don't think that it matters whether decisions are taken at ingress or=20
egress. The farther congestion is from an ingress or egress, the lower=20
the number of IEAs. That means, that either the ingress or egress may=20
control a number of small aggregate IEAs, depending on the location of=20
the pre-congested interface.

As far as I understand, there's no way to signal which flows are the =
most=20
burdensome for a pre-congested interface. Maybe the above 8 flows =
consume
10 times the average bandwidth of any other flow passing the =
pre-congested=20
interface. The egress can't learn about that.

I'm not out for an endemic fairness discussion and I don't want to start =

a re-ECN discussion here. A pragmatic rule then would be "terminate=20
one flow"? Or should the reaction be configurable?

I'm not looking for solutions which result in flow awareness at=20
pre congested interfaces or centralised systems having an overview.

Regards,

Ruediger

Hi Rüdiger,

you are right that small overtermination can be problematic with small 
aggregates. This has been studied in Section 4.6 in
http://www3.informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de/~menth/Publications/papers/Menth08-Sub-9.pdf
and solutions that can be locally implemented have been proposed and 
demonstrated.

Regards,

    Michael

The current versions of the edge behaviour drafts have stepped back slightly 
from the extreme of reporting only transitions in admission state. Now admission 
state is reported at regular intervals.

A fair amount of off-list discussion has been happening over the appropriateness 
of the current arrangement. For one, there is a certain amount of opposition to 
specifying exponential smoothing of the CLE. For another, Phil has raised the 
possibility of a CLE-dependent policy at the decision point, where more 
important flows are allowed in at higher CLE values than less important flows. 
That suggests that instead of admission state, the egress node should be 
reporting at least the CLE.

I believe the discussion should be happening on the list -- that's what it is for.

Michael Menth suggested an useful principle to which the present drafts adhere: 
actions at the decision point/ingress node should be exactly the same for CL and 
SM. He argued that the egress node unavoidably knows the difference between CL 
and SM in any case, so it might as well absorb all the differences.

It is true that at least one end has to know the difference, but it doesn't have 
to be the egress node. If the egress node simply reports rates of unmarked, 
threshold-marked, and excess-traffic-marked traffic each interval, the decision 
point/ingress node can apply the CL- or SM-specific algorithms and draw the 
correct conclusions.

It seems reasonable to design the system so one end is the same whether CL or SM 
is deployed. If we accept that, we have one-and-a-half questions really:

1) Which end should know that SM or CL is deployed?

1) a) If it is the egress node, should it report admission state or CLE? Either 
way, the egress node would have to report the estimated edge-to-edge supportable 
traffic rate whenever termination might possibly be required, and the decision 
point/ingress node would have to compare that with the admitted traffic rate to 
see if termination is really needed.

Hi all,

I summarize the issue I raised during the spec writing process. It would 
be good to keep either the PCN egress or the decision point / PCN 
ingress unaware of CL or SM is used. This automatically leads to the 
same signalling protocol for CL and SM, too. Benefits of such an 
approach are obvious (one signalling protocol for CL/SM, simplified 
migration from SM to CL). This can be achieved in two different ways.

A) egress-based-PCN-calculation

The egress calculates a PCN-admission-state (admit/block) as well as the 
edge-to-edge supportable rate (ETM traffic in CL, u*ThM traffic in SM) 
and sends these values to the decision node. The decision node can do 
its operation (admit/block traffic, measure ingress PCN traffic and 
possibly terminate PCN traffic) without knowing whether the PCN reports 
from the egress node are based on CL or SM.

B) decision-point-PCN-calculation

The decision-point (ingress) calculates the PCN-admission-state and the 
edge-to-edge supportable rate. To that end, the egress transmits the 
measured rates of NM, ThM, and ETM traffic in regular intervals.


Advantages of egress-based-PCN-calculation (A):

1) The PCN calculation algorithm can be exchanged locally at the egress 
node without changes to the signalling protocol and the ingress node. 
Example: the egress may send "block" immediately when it observes a 
marked packet. It is basically a different edge behavior that is able to 
work with smaller ingress-egress-aggregates. Reason: small 
ingress-egress-aggregates need long measurement intervals for meaningful 
rate estimates and then it is good when a block-message can be sent 
before the end of the measurement interval.

2) If the PCN-admission-state does not change at the egress and the 
edge-to-edge supportable rate is zero, regular reports which are usually 
carried every 100 ms from egress to ingress can be suppressed until the 
next change. The saved signalling overhead can be significant when the 
rate of ingress-egress-aggregates is small.



Advantage of decision-point-based-PCN-calculation (B):

3) In case of SM, the CLE increases proportionally with the load. It is 
possible to use different CLE-admission-thresholds for high- and 
low-priority traffic so that high priority traffic has a lower blocking 
probability than low priority traffic when the system is near to 
pre-congestion.


Below the line, the question whether A or B is better boils down to the 
issue what's more important for PCN under the assumption that we want to 
keep either the ingress or egress unaware of CL/SM:

i) Potential support for smaller ingress-egress-aggregates

ii) Differentiated blocking probabilities for low- and high-priority 
traffic (only for SM)

Basically we need to decide which of the two issues is more important 
for PCN.

Regards,

    Michael

Hi Michael,

I am not sure I understand the goal.  Why is it good to keep either the
ingress or the egress unaware o whether it is CL or SM used?   Usually
the egress and the ingress side is implemented in the same device, so I
am not sure why that requirement?=20

I do understand that it is good to have the same signaling protocol for
SL mad CL, but I still do not see a clear connection between these two
statements.  What am I missing?

I don't say it's a requirement, but a nice feature. Moreover, the 
decision point can also be in a centralized node and then ingress and 
egress do not sit in the same device. Then it matters.
