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

	Title		: Information Model for Describing Network Device QoS 
                          Mechanisms
	Author(s)	: B. Moore, D. Durham, J. Strassner,
                          A. Westerinen, W. Weiss, J. Halpern
	Filename	: draft-ietf-policy-qos-device-info-model-07.txt
	Pages		: 90
	Date		: 01-Mar-02
	
The purpose of this draft is to define an information model to
describe the quality of service (QoS) mechanisms inherent in
different network devices, including hosts.  Broadly speaking,
these mechanisms describe the attributes common to selecting and
conditioning traffic through the forwarding path (datapath) of a
network device.  This selection and conditioning of traffic in
the datapath spans both major QoS architectures: Differentiated
Services (see [R2475]) and Integrated Services (see [R1633]).

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

	Title		: Policy Core Information Model Extensions
	Author(s)	: B. Moore et al.
	Filename	: draft-ietf-policy-pcim-ext-07.txt
	Pages		: 86
	Date		: 01-Mar-02
	
This document proposes a number of changes to the Policy Core Information Model (PCIM, RFC 3060).  These changes include both extensions of PCIM into areas that it did not previously cover, and changes to the existing PCIM classes and associations.  Both sets of changes are done in a way that, to the extent possible, preserves interoperability with implementations of the original PCIM model.

The "FilterList" class imported from CIM, is redefined by PCIMe with an
additional restriction relative to the "EntriesInFilterList"
aggregation. This restriction is described in both Sections 4.9.2 and
5.21.

The two descriptions seem to be somewhat contradictory. Thus, while
4.9.2 indicates the applicability of this restriction to *all* the
submodels:

"For PCIMe and its submodels, the EntrySequence property in this
 aggregation always takes its default value '0', indicating that
 the aggregated filter entries are ANDed together."

in section 5.21 the scope seems to be reduced to QoS submodel(s) *only*:

"In modeling QoS classifiers, however, this property is always
 set to 0, to indicate that the aggregated filter entries are
 ANDed together to form a selector for a class of traffic."

In section 5.21, was the reference to QoS intended as a scope limitation
or was that used as example? IMO clarification is necessary.

Mircea.

Mircea, When the restriction was originally discussed, it was put in place
to align the model with the DiffServ Informal Model.  IE, to put a default
value in place such that the property COULD be used but may also be ignored
(and the default taken).  So, this was specifically about QoS and not about
the general model.  I am not sure where it got generalized - or that it even
should be generalized.  I would recommend that we remove the word "always"
in the phrase "always takes its default value" (Section 4.9.2).  "Typically"
or "usually" seems safer.

The original thinking was to include all the model properties and align the
IETF and DMTF work, but also specify the "expected" defaults.

Andrea,


I have two issues that are somewhat related to each other:

1. If the restriction only applies to DiffServ then why is it defined in
PCIMe? If, as you explain, this restriction is there to align with the
DiffServ model then (IMO) QPIM would be a better place for it. PCIMe
would simply indicate that if sequencing is not intended then the value
"0" is to be used and as result the aggregated filters are ANDed.

2. However, if PCIMe allows sequencing for device-level filters (a
FilterList of FilterEntries), then why doesn't it have the same
functionality for the domain-level equivalent (a CompoundCondition of
CompoundFilters)? I understand that the consensus is against component
sequencing in the PCIMe CompoundCondition. Maybe the sequencing should
be removed from the FilterList on the same premise that devices, due to
their implementation, may not be able to honor it.

Regards,
Mircea.

Working group last call is hereby announced for the document titled
"Information Model for Describing Network Device QoS Datapath Mechanisms",
which is in the I-D repository at:

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-policy-qos-device-info-model-
07.txt

This revision reflects all known issues and comments discussed in
face-to-face working group meetings and on the working group mailing list.  

This note commences a two week working group last call, intended to bring
forth any last, remaining issues.  Please post comments to the list.  After
any such issues are resolved according to working group consensus, the plan
is to submit this document to the IESG for approval as a proposed standard.


This working group last call ends at COB on Friday, April 5, 2002.

I haven't received any response to these issues and I'm not quite sure what would
be the reason:

1. They don't make any sense at all. Please excuse me!
2. They are still discussed among the authors and a common opinion hasn't been
reached yet.
3. They are low priority waiting to be addressed, while other issues are getting
the authors attention.
4. They have been missed due to the high quantities of spam mail we are all
getting from public mailing lists.

Regards,
Mircea.

Hi,
   This is a query about congestion control
properties of draft-ietf-policy-qos-info-model-04.txt.
(QoS Info model)

Are the properties  qpDropThresholdUnits,
qpDropMinThresholdValue and qpDropMaxThresholdValue
applicable *ONLY* for random-drop algorithm?
Are not those properties relavent for tail-drop or head-drop also?

Following is a related exerpt from the I-D:
3.4.2  Congestion Control Actions
The QoSPolicyCongestionControlAction class controls queue length, 
thresholds and congestion control algorithms.
A PEP should be able to keep in its queues qpQueueSize packets matching 
the rule's condition. In order to provide a link-speed independent queue 
size, the qpQueueSize property can also be measured in milliseconds. The 
time interval specifies the time needed to transmit all packets within 
the queue if the link speed is dedicated entirely for transmission of 
packets within this queue. The property qpQueueSizeUnit determines 
whether queue size is measured in number of packets or in milliseconds.

The property qpDropMethod selects either tail-drop, head-drop or random-
drop algorithms. The set of maximum and minimum threshold values can be 
specified as well, using qpDropMinThresholdValue and 
qpDropMaxThresholdValue properties, either in packets or in percentage 
of the total available queue size as specified by the 
qpDropThresholdUnits property.

Thanks & Regards
Krishna

These properties are relevant to head-drop and tail-drop algorithms as
well.
Please see example within section 3.4.3
