Hi all,

It's time to start the conversation about where the RRG is headed.  =
Towards that end, I'd like to open the floor for the discussion of =
topics.  Any _research_ topic within the broad area of routing and =
addressing is appropriate. =20

I propose the following process: we hold this discussion this month, =
trying to identify relevant topics.  Each topic should have a succinct =
statement of its goals.  At the end of the month, we poll to determine =
the interest level in the various topics.  Those that seem to have =
critical mass are recommended to the IRTF Chair for consideration.

The default answer, if no topic has critical mass, is for the RG to go =
on hiatus.

Any questions or comments on the process?

Any proposals of research topics?

The floor is open...

Tony

Noting the silence, I do have one topic to suggest.

In prior conversations with you, you have suggested that the broad
architectural approach I prefer for path selection - i.e. topology
distribution, with unified path computation (although perhaps 'monolithic'
is a better term than 'unified', since the latter term was used elsewhere
in routing) - is problematic. I don't recall your reasoning exactly (not
that I ever got it in detail, I don't think), IIRC it was something to do
with a combination of:

i) ISPs didn't want to hand out topology information
ii) ISPs like the kind of policies about traffic flow they can impose
	with destination vector architectures
iii) the overhead of path computation needs to be distributed

So perhaps a discussion about what you see as the shortcomings of that
approach, and discussion about whether those issues are or are not
handlable, would be a good thing to do here?

I'm sensing NIMROD, here. It'd be nice to see it rehashed why precisely 
OSPF-like full topology distribution and/or a purely source routing 
framework could or couldn't be done within a wider, multilevel context. 
Also the relative pros and cons of going that way, or not. A couple of 
decades or so more experience certainly couldn't hurt.

I also wonder whether there is some unifying factor under the 
Interplanetary Internet work, the recent, more practical routing work 
on-list wrt IRON/LISP/whatnot, and the long (thin or thick) network 
stuff. All three pictures rely heavily on information stored at the edge 
of the network, which will or should influence routing decisions. 
Evidently the data should stay at the edge, if at all possible, but all 
that caching, prediction and compression seems somehow unifiable to me.

Is there some overa(r)ching principle lying around here, perhaps having 
to do with (nondeterministic?) source routing, unconventional prediction 
by the source, and (soft state?) edge to core (? to edge? one-way?) 
signaling? With the grand aim of countering otherwise-expected latency 
and other routing-relevant problems, in an e2e-compatible way?

As a much more well-defined problem, a recent I-D-in-queue points out 
many problems in how IPv6's flow label is defined and constrained. One 
of the main solutions to the hassle that it proposes is to hide any 
manipulations of the semantics to within some fixed realm and/or AS 
and/or something, so that the manipulations aren't visible from the 
outside. Much of the LISP/IRON/MPLS/whatnot work tries to achieve the 
precise same thing -- transparent routing from the viewpoint of the edge 
device, while the core is doing something else entirely. So do we even 
now have a good description of what the edge device should see, once and 
for all? If not, nailing that down to pure logic would seem like a 
worthwhile exercise, and a rather well-defined one at that. As such it 
would be an academically motivated one, but in practice it might help in 
unexpected ways wrt the protocols we actually use, right now, including 
but not limited to IP and ICMP in their two main versions.

Van Jacobson et al's content centric networking, of course. Especially 
if we could somehow make it lighter-weight than it is now. (The inherent 
copying aspect is just as relevant or irrelevant as it was with TCP, I 
think, from the purely technical viewpoint. I'm also pretty sure there 
are efficient ways to compress those long URI-style addresses downto 
something routable in even current silicon. If not e2e, then at least 
MPLS-style hop-to-hop FEC-like. I'm thinking about some derivation of 
0-complete trees or something to that effect. But that's still research 
stuff, not real, clear-cut engineering, the precise way HIP used to be.)

An evaluation of any and all ways to aggregate and/or cheaply refine 
existing congestion pricing work done by the IETF at the core routing 
level would be neat as well. I.e. how might the ConEx work interface 
with the core routing fabric. Again, there might be a multitude of 
fundamental interface questions lurking around here, well-suited for 
IRTF and not so much for IETF.

Even a facts-based unification of fundamental internet protocol 
compressions is very much lacking. It probably could be done at least to 
a degree, and it would be very useful especially with IPv6, with its fat 
headers and the current deeply nested protocol stack. But nobody's ever 
tried to tackle the problem in full, at a fundamental level, at least to 
my knowledge.

These are all newbie ideas, but perhaps one or two of them could also 
break the silence Noel mentioned.

And perhaps more importantly, they are unwilling to disclose their =
policy information.  Peering policies are a very touchy subject.  Being =
nice to competitor A and not nice to competitor B is the type of =
diplomatic fodder that starts corporate battles.

Specifically, the ability to do hot-potato and cold-potato routing, as =
well as destination originated traffic engineering.


> iii) the overhead of path computation needs to be distributed


This is the least of the issues.  Yes, this needs to be distributed for =
scalability.  But then I come from a church where _everything_ needs to =
be distributed for scalability.

So I'm more than happy to have that conversation, but I would very much =
like it to proceed into a concrete topic proposal if we're doing it on =
RRG.  If we're having just a fun architectural discussion, then =
routing-discussion might be more appropriate, so that this list could be =
reserved for those developing topics.

Warmest regards,
Tony

Hi,

What about doing some work in multi-path routing in the inter-domain?
i.e. enabling a router to use multiple paths with potential different 
characteristics to forward packets across domains.
Would people find this topic interesting?

regards, marcelo

Hi,

I think there are many interesting problems to be explored in the
context of inter-domain multipath routing. Having mainly done work on
intra-domain multipath routing so far, I would be very interested in
looking at this as well.

I'd guess they would, since the idea is so old and also underexploited. 
But does it bring in real extra value? I.e. does anybody know whether 
multipath routing could significantly increase the total utilization of 
the routing fabric, either now or under some theoretically founded 
future situation?

If nobody knows, a preliminary study could be IRTF material.

I don't know the secret why DV is such sacrosanct but I know for sure that=
 enhancements for routing via more and more remote nodes would blow up DV.


Offlist I received comments about what to do with so many alternative path=

 where the traffic comes from. Again: not possible based on DV.

Obviously no one, because this was a main goal of ignored TARA: multipath=
 forwarding based on a network graph which is composed of =20

inter- AND intra-network links and which  not only comprises  ECMPs but al=
so  detouring paths  via equidistant or even more remote routers.

&gt; Hi all,&nbsp;<br>
&gt;&nbsp;<br>
&gt; It's time to start the conversation about where the RRG is headed. To=
wards that end, I'd like to open the floor for the discussion of topics.=
 Any _research_ topic within the broad area of routing and addressing is=
 appropriate.&nbsp;<br>
&gt;&nbsp;<br>
&gt; I propose the following process: we hold this discussion this month,=
 trying to identify relevant topics. Each topic should have a succinct sta=
tement of its goals. At the end of the month, we poll to determine the int=
erest level in the various topics. Those that seem to have critical mass=
 are recommended to the IRTF Chair for consideration.&nbsp;<br>
&gt;&nbsp;<br>
&gt; The default answer, if no topic has critical mass, is for the RG to=
 go on hiatus.&nbsp;<br>
&gt;&nbsp;<br>
&gt; Any questions or comments on the process?&nbsp;<br>
&gt;&nbsp;<br>
&gt; Any proposals of research topics?&nbsp;<br>

I guess there are some potential advantages in deploying multipath =20
inter-domain routing. For instance, currently each border router =20
forwards the traffic for a prefix through the same next AS. Balancing =20=

through two different next ASes it is not possible without re-=20
advertising and sending the control plane to reconverge. Using =20
multipath the balancing could be done even in a fine granularity (e.g. =20=

per packet) so that,

	- Different treatment (e.g. regarding QoS) could be provided per =
=20
packet/flow, relaying traffic to a better provider (likely to have a =20
higher pricing) and charging more money to the customers.
	- The latter may enable pricing and services competition.
	- Egress traffic engineering could be decoupled from the routing =
=20
advertisement, forwarding to an upstream provider or another should be =20=

transparent to downstream customer ASes if they all the paths are =20
advertised beforehand.
	- Congestion control may be more flexible for ISPs.

Thinking of future architectures, the case of multipath-aware =20
transport protocols would let some or full control of the path =20
selection to final hosts. It is not likely that ISPs go for this, but =20=

theoretically failure detection, failure recovery and better =20
congestion control should be possible in this scenario, since end-=20
hosts can measure end-to-end performance easily.

It looks like there are a number of people who are at least somewhat =
interested in this topic.

To move this topic forward, it would be very good to have a very clear =
statement of what this would (and would not) involve as research goals, =
and the specific researchers who are interested in contributing to this =
effort.  Obviously, much of this topic might involve direct protocol =
modifications or mechanism proposals.  These would be inappropriate as =
research goals, as these would be overlapping with the work that the =
IETF is chartered to perform.  Answering architectural questions would =
be appropriate, IMHO.

Folks writing topic proposals might do so with an eye on the current RRG =
charter.  Any eventual topics will necessarily become part of our =
rechartering effort.

Hi Tony and all,

In the past few years, RRG has done a lot of excellent research work to
explore various ideas and approaches (e.g., map&encap, id/locator split =
and
translation...) to addressing the Internet routing scalability issue. =
Today
it seems that the cloud Data Center Network (DCN) and Data Center
Interconnection (DCI) scenarios are facing a similar scalability =
challenge
(i.e., MAC forwarding table scalability issue). The demand for VM =
mobility
within the whole large L2 data center network or even across =
geographically
dispersed data centers is one major driving force of extending the L2 =
domain
scope larger and larger.

Although the reason for the MAC forwarding table scalability issue in =
the
DCN/DCI scenarios is not the same as that for the Internet routing
scalability issue, the ideas and approaches suitable for scaling the
Internet routing system could be utilized to deal with the MAC =
forwarding
table scalability issue. There are already many such attempts in =
reality,
especially in the academic circle. VL2 , SEATTLE and MOOSE are good =
examples
of them.

Hence I suggest we spend some time to consider whether we could utilize =
our
experience which was obtained from the past and ongoing Internet routing
scalability solution research to address the similar scalability issue
existed in the DCN/DCI scenarios, for example, we could attempt or even
develop those familiar ideas or approaches mentioned above to address =
the
MAC table scalability issue in the DCN/DCI scenarios.

Best regards,
Xiaohu

As an adjunct to this line, there is the ARMD group in the IETF (not
officially chartered AFAIK) and an associated BOF at NANOG 52 in Denver.

Hi,

I would like point out another requirement from HPC. According to
DOE target of Exascale computing, the top HPC system will be
comprise 100K or 1M nodes. And each node will interconnected
with 2TB/s or 250GB/s BW.

http://www.er.doe.gov/ascr/ascac/Meetings/Mar10/AWhite.pdf

I am not sure whether the system will choose regular direct
interconnection network such as 3-D torus, or irregular indirect
network. DCN/DCI requirements clearly meet the later system.
Even in case of direct interconnection, I believe some topology
finding mechanism will be strongly required for optimal
performance and for operation.=20

Interesting.  As you prepare your topic proposal, please highlight the =
IP routing and addressing aspects of the research here.

Hi Xiaohu,

this is an interesting topic and there has been other research works
as well. I find it more appealing to use L3 in data centers and that
is doable if the identifier/locator split is applied. Instead of
finding a path from endpoint A to endpoint B the the path is
established from endpoint A to service instance B.
You might find these links interesting

We are running some simulation experiments to get insight in the
scalability (number of BGP update messages and maybe later the
convergence time) and path diversity/disjointness of different
multi-path routing proposals.  We are trying to get an answer what the
practical implications are of the deployment of multi-path routing on
current Internet AS-topology (and the past topologies from 2004 onwards).

If these are interesting questions to put in the draft, I am more than
happy to give more details, etc.

Cheers,

Proposals:


1) Discussion about alternate multicast instance identification:


Historically, a multicast instance is identified by some unique (?) multic=
ast address. Meanwhile there is also ssm, where the multicast instance is=
 identified by the sender's unicast address plus some multicast-address =
 from some ssm-specific range.=20


Proposal: Use a new multicast-protocol type plus the sender's unicast addr=
ess.


Con: Existing (deployed) multicast services have to be changed.
Pro: 1 billion IPv4-addresses would be freed for unicast which is quite a=
 lot while facing the address depletion issue.=20


The discussion should be led by ISP folks. I think, they would know best=
 the costs as well as the benefits.


2) State-less multicast for about 99 % of the involved routers by means of=
 cascade tree multicast
Example: By employing a cascade degree =3D10 about 90 % of the receivers=
 wouldn't even become aware of being involved in some multicast activity.A=
ssuming 20 hops in average between any two nodes of the cascade tree, only=
 a half percent of the involved routers have be cascade tree multicast kno=
wledgable.

This proposal came up a few times on the North American Network
Operators' Group (NANOG) mailing list, where the ISP folks hang out. I
think the main concern is that "Class D" (and E, the experimental block)
is hardcoded into most router's software, and forcing everyone to
upgrade is just not feasible. Granted, a lot of IPv4 addresses would be
freed this way, but migrating to IPv6 should be a better long term
strategy. The amount of time/energy needed to coordinate a change like
this would be better spent for IPv6 migration.

Hi Lorand,


Certainly, my proposal is to find out how urgent is the IPv4-address deple=
tion issue. Maybe it is not urgent and NAT will do.
And looking at IPv6: IPv6 provides even more of these funny Multicast addr=
esses :-(=20
You may be fancy about IPv6, not me. (I don't know whether I should be hap=
py or sad about the flow label's destiny so far.)




This is RRG, i.e. somehow "research for the better". IMHO there are differ=
ent actions wrt p2p, p2mp, mp2p, mp2mp and anycast which should be express=
ed by different protocol types. Yes, some additional information is to be=
 provided:
In case of multicast, the sender's IPv4-address, in case of anycast some=
 ANYCAST-destination address (by using a separate protocol type  the anyca=
st addres range could be 32 bits long - more than enough). Wrt  mp2p I onl=
y know MPLS applications - it does not exist in IP. mp2mp isn't reflected=
 nowhere :-(

upgrade is just not feasible. Granted, a lot of IPv4 addresses would be
freed this way, but migrating to IPv6 should be a better long term
strategy. The amount of time/energy needed to coordinate a change like
this would be better spent for IPv6 migration.

Sorry for late response. Yes, your point is correct from this special
aspect:).  The reason that I mentioned includes both the external reason =
(e.
g., VM mobility v.s. multi-homing, traffic-engineering and PI address =
usage)
and internal reason (flat address v.s. overloading of IP address =
semantics).

Agree. However, since the application scenarios have some differences =
(e.g.,
site networks could be configured with a default IP route in the =
Internet
routing scenario while data center sites could not be configured with a
default MAC route in the DCI scenario...), it would better to =
investigate
whether the approaches we used before for scaling the Internet routing
system could be reused or even simplified to deal with the similar
scalability issue existed in the DCN/DCI scenarios.

Hi Heiner, all,

I'm sorry to hear this "NAT will do". NAT does at home/SOHO
environments. NAT may do at the office/branch/company environment.
NAT may even do at the current low traffic profile mobile devices.
But NAT will *certainly* not do when installed in the network. The
problems:

1) I can open ports @ my home router, because I have all 65536 ports
under my control. But in a NATxyz environment, I will be restricted
and I will most probably not get the 'right' ports (i.e. 0-1023)
assigned.

2) Overlooking that, you are putting boxes into the network which are
concentrating traffic of a lot of people and they are single points
of failure in the sense that if one dies, it will most probably not
passed unnoticed by the users.

3) We have to think that the number of customers will grow and it is
certain that the traffic per user will _not_ diminish. Any NAT solution
means putting very specialise boxes in a sort of black hole. When
traffic takes up, we will need to throw in NAT after NAT after NAT.

As you see, neither users (and be it just the 'port opening' issue) nor
operators will be well served with a NAT solution.


Just my 2 cents,/PA

Hi,

Sorry for late response and not to fit an RRG charter.

I believe the host number scalability issue in HPC network
are not different from DCN/DCI.  HPC has a roadmap including
some the number of hosts to be connected, while the
requirements of future DCN/DCI is not clear.

If L2 can be resolve the issues alone, it is not an IETF/IRTF issue.
If we need some support for ARP/DHCP presented as SEATTLE,
EtherProxy, IRTF should do.

HPC network also shares with DCN/DCI in the routing on
large number switches. RBridge and other link-state based
L2 routing can help. However, HPC network topology should be
free from "backbone", since HPC network topology and traffic
have highly symmetrical.

I think many people agrees with the host number scalability issue,
since many research challenges are ongoing and industries may support =
it.
The later routing issue is only my own idea, and I cannot find any
research paper discussing it other than ATM PNNI.=20
So, I don't insist that RRG should pick it.

Marcelo, Hannu and all, clearly it's interesting. Would you pre-distribute
routing information or have one or more mapping request phases? How do we
deal with tradeoffs between state maintenance and reliability?

Do you want to do this in routing or in some other signaling? Consider NUTS=
S
and the failed attempt at the EME RG. That has a policy based discovery
phase that seems very related.

<p>Marcelo, Hannu and all, clearly it&#39;s interesting. Would you pre-dist=
ribute routing information or have one or more mapping request phases? How =
do we deal with tradeoffs between state maintenance and reliability?=A0 </p=
>

<p>Do you want to do this in routing or in some other signaling? Consider N=
UTSS and the failed attempt at the EME RG. That has a policy based discover=
y phase that seems very related. </p>

 the floor for the discussion of topics.  Any _research_ topic within the b=

&gt;&gt;<br>&gt;&gt; I propose the following process: we hold this discussi=
on this month, trying to identify relevant topics.  Each topic should have =
a succinct statement of its goals.  At the end of the month, we poll to det=
ermine the interest level in the various topics.  Those that seem to have c=
ritical mass are recommended to the IRTF Chair for consideration.<br>

&gt;&gt;<br>&gt;&gt; The default answer, if no topic has critical mass, is =
for the RG to go on hiatus.<br>&gt;&gt;<br>&gt;&gt; Any questions or commen=

TTL is a data plane OAM mechanism, unrelated to routing. When packets are
forwarded, forwarding doesn't know about domain boundaries. If TTL is needed
at all, it needs to be continuous.

Wrt multipath routing I'm invoking the end to end argument. Routing provides
information on availability of paths. How many different path possibilities
will you maintain state for? The applications will always want finer
granularity in describing what they want than some lower layer tool like
routing will provide.

Heiner,
     I have mostly been ignoring your over-the-top assertions about your 
solution and about other solutions. However, Having also been there, I 
would have to disagree with yoru description of PNNI topology aggregation.
THere is no evidence that it is "the wrong way."  That is your personal 
opinion.
Networks of the scale that would have given evidence on the topic were 
never constructed.  Due, frankly, to IP and MPLS being better tools with 
lower complexity than ATM for the overall problem space.

You are welcome to your opinion about the likely correctness of what the 
WG adopted.  But please do not confuse that opinion with verified fact 
(as in "know for sure.")

Yours,
Joel

Joel,
there are several aspects that let me criticize the PNNI topology aggregat=
ion based on my present knowledge:


We aggregated the border-to-border physical links (based on the Aggrgation=
 Token which was invented by G.Swallow due to my own contribution)
and not the network by skimming its topology for a view from the far.
The Complex Node Representation wasn't satisfactory at all.=20
I guess those who came up with the (bad) STRETCH factor had in mind hierar=
chical routing a la PNNI.
=20
I pointed out several times what I called Istanbul effect. That poor prope=
rty applies to PNNI for sure.=20

Related though not part of the topology aggregation is its address summari=
zation: DCC, ICD, E.164. Even 3 address families. A lot of prefix building=
 work, which is the main part of the current and so-called scalability pro=
blem. As I have demonstrated: Prefix building isn't needed at all.


The really good thing about PNNI was - from my personal point of view- to=
 see and experience  the courage to go for implementing such a hierarchy=
 at all. It makes me go for some better one, though.

Thank you, Scott. I was not sure whether the TTL is re-initiated at the IS=
P boundaries or not. Good so,  that there is no such re-initialization.

TTL is a data plane OAM mechanism, unrelated to routing. When packets are=
 forwarded, forwarding doesn't know about domain boundaries. If TTL is nee=
