Are you on ietf-announce@ietf.org? If not, send a note to
ietf-announce-request@ietf.org, and you should start receiving announcements of
internet drafts, meetings, and the like.

The agendas of the diff-serv and rsvp meetings should be posted on the
diff-serv and rsvp mailing lists

you can also find more meeting information at www.ietf.org, and more
specifically, http://www.ietf.org/meetings/IETF-47.html. The agenda is not
posted there as yet, but should be within the next few weeks.

Seriously, the QoS architecture currently proposed that uses E2E RSVP
signaling and aggregation in the core of the network *is* stateless
signaling, at least in the parts of the network where statelessness is
both necessary and possible.

So, we are done.

That is, as long as you don't want to do multicasting.  People's

Indeed it is.  It (the host/network interface) is called X.25.

We've been there, and that experience helped the decision in RSVP to
use basically the SAME protocol for both the DCE/DTE and the DCE/DCE
communication.  I have not seen any strong reason to think this was
the wrong decision.  For one thing, it handles the DTE/DTE case
without fuss.

You can send packets repeartedly until acknowledged with no windows.
The standard protocol is called TFTP.

So, we are done.

What's next? Shall we disband IETF or the transport area of it?

What do you mean?

The currently proposed CoS architechture has nothing to do with QoS.

> That is, as long as you don't want to do multicasting.

Multicast is not an only factor to make QoS assurance stateful.

Frankly, I think we should focus on reinventing UNI/PNNI for the MPLS world and
then we can reinvent it one more time for IP, just got to keep everyone busy.
Also we *must* remember to change the name since otherwise we may look like we
are not earning our keep.

As far as I am concerned, there are two types of signaling protocols, soft-state
and hard-state. RSVP without HELLO extension is a soft-state signaling protocol
that can be extended rather easily as MPLS extensions have shown. It is
well-understood. UNI/PNNI is a set of hard-state protocols that were developed
for ATM but essentially are used to establish flows and QoS contracts within a
network. Moreover, UNI essentially can be made to run over a connectionless
network akin to TCP/IP.

If you look at these protocols you will find that they meet the signaling
requirements for a variety of environments.

I think that instead of getting hung up on yet another signaling protocol, we
should focus on the information that needs to get distributed and efficient
(compact) ways of representing that information both between domains (or ASs) or
within a domain. Once, the information we need to distribute is well-understood,
the appropriate mechanisms will be easier to develop. I believe that at least the
policy WG is working on this.

Also, I worry about the network operator acceptance of automated signaling and
negotiation protocols for communication between domains since anything dynamic
exposes risk and stability issues.

From current RSVP proposals stateless would mean not to touch.We are talking about
nodes doing CAC without signaling states. If this is done in RSVP you must give me
a pointer where to find it.

You can do multicast reservations even without signaling states.. What you can't do
is multicast with heterogenous destinations.

I still think we need a forum in the IETF in which to discuss these issues. It may
well be that stateless nodes could be integrated in RSVP but RSVP was not designed
for this.
With this in mind I beleive a good startingpoint would be a  framework to outline
the possibilities without the legacy of RSVP.

Yes, but there is a point when one shall get some fresh air before going 
further.

I think QoS signaling protocols and the QoS related info they carry are 
orthogonal in most cases. Thus if the Policy WG is already defining the 
QoS info objects we could look at the enhancement of signaling 
protocols in our BOF.

I see your point, but there are already a couple of autonomous and 
dynamic solutions in internet and operators still like it :-)

There is our work on state aggregation for RSVP, ``Aggregation of
Internet Integrated Services State'' which describes how to greatly
reduce the amount of signalling state.  Quoting from the draft:

   This draft describes how to provide Internet Integrated Services for
   both unicast and multicast traffic with greatly reduced state
   requirements.  We concentrate primarily on Controlled Load type
   service[10], which reserves bandwidth but not delay or jitter, though
   our approach should be more generally applicable (see [7] for a
   related approach).  With our approach, the amount of scheduler state
   is bounded at all nodes for both unicast and multicast traffic.  For
   unicast traffic, full classifier state and setup protocol state are
   stored only at the edges of the network.  In the interior of the
   network, no unicast setup protocol state is stored, and only a
   bounded amount of classifier state is used.  For multicast traffic, a
   minimal amount of additional classifier state and additional setup
   protocol state is used in the network interior.

The draft is available from the RSVP web page:

It appears that you have read the draft.

But what you can do is to store only the minimum amount of state and
only at the specific points of heterogeneous branching.  Doing this
allows you to support multicast with heterogeneous destinations.

Micheal,

When people use RSVP to setup MPLS, each LSP can have ZERO bandwidth.
Please check the draft in MPLS WG. In we are only talking about
bandwidth reservation, then state scaling problem is that serious at
this point. But when we use it to setup virtual connections all over the
network, then we need to be careful.

;-) We indeed proposed a hierarchical architecture here: end-user driven
reservation protocols at user network, and an inter-domain reservation
protocol at core. 

I have heard the argument of using DiffServ at core. Here are my
questions:

In RFC2597 (AF PHB):"... A DS node MUST allocate a configurable, minimum
amount of forwarding resources (buffer space and bandwidth) to each
implemented AF class. Each class SHOULD be serviced in a manner to
achieve the configured service rate (bandwidth) over both small and
large time scales...."

IN RFC2598 (EF PHB):"... Creating such a service has two parts:

      1) Configuring nodes so that the aggregate has a well-defined
         minimum departure rate. ("Well-defined" means independent of
         the dynamic state of the node.  In particular, independent of
         the intensity of other traffic at the node.)

      2) Conditioning the aggregate (via policing and shaping) so that
         its arrival rate at any node is always less than that node's
         configured minimum departure rate.
..."

I also heard that all network interior routers need to provide traffic
conditioning functionality (policing/shaping, etc.). That means the
routers need to be aware of the rates associated with each PHB. (Look:
this is Frame Relay CIR/Bc/Be all over again essentially. ;-))

Question: Who set up the rate for each PHB in the core? Don't tell me we
are setting them by hand. ;-) I think that BGRP (or other backbone
resource management mechanism) is responsible for setting up and
maintain the rate at routers. I don't believe these reservation states
change a lot over time. but they need to be maintained regardless (to
avoid route flapping for example).

BTW, while we are making assumption on using DiffServ at core, can
someone please provide some information on the DiffServ deployment
plan/experience? Like to know how it works. Thanks in advance!

BR,

Agree. The original idea of Host vs Network is like a conspiracy by the
telco's to limit customer's access and selection so that they can charge
their usual retail prices to end-users. The concept was defined in
telco's interest, but is not meant for the Internet.

In our proposed model, users have the choice to subscribe service from
more than one ISP and have the choice to put their data through any
inter-domain reservation "tunnel". RSVP and other end-user drive
reservation protocols fit in this model without a problem. For example
in RSVP, to across an inter-domain reservation interconnecting network X
and Y, RSVP can simply allow the Next-Hop to point to Y, and
Previous-Hop to point to X. That's it!

Gentlemen, please. Separating Network-Host and Network-Network (or
Router-Router) interface (in general not only in case of QoS) has
*technical* merits. It allows the easy deployment of different mechanism
in the network without affecting the end systems. (Remember: You can use
whatever multicast routing protocol you wish without changing the hosts.
IGMP is used on the Host-Network interface and the multicast routing
protocol is used on the Router-Router interface. That clearly has
benefits.)

Again: I do not care what was the reason for this separation in ATM,
X.25 or whatever. Had RSVP/Intserv been designed like this, now it would
be much easier to employ different mechanisms in different domains. But,
perhaps it is not a requirement and should not be an issue.

Finally: I accept that the people developing RSVP had really thought
this issue through and rejected it if Bob says so. I just wanted to
point out that the idea is not a complete nonsense from the technical
point of view and is not only a devil telco invention.

Wrong.

As it is clearly demonstrated by IGMP and RSVP,if you want to allow
whatever multicast routing protocl you wish, Network-Host protocol
(IGMP) or multicast-related Network-Network protocol (RSVP) must
be compatible with all the possible (including those which does
not scale at all) Network-Network multicast routing protocols,
which makes the Network-Host protocol (IGMP) or the multicast-related
Network-Network protocol (RSVP) unnecessarily complex and, worse,
not scalable.

They did not rejected it w.r.t. multicast routing protocols.

Lou et al,
Good job with the latest version of the draft.
I have a few very minor questions and editorial points, and a bunch of typos
(sorry, I can't read a draft w/o marking up typos!)
Hope this is of use.
Regards,
Adrian

1) Discovery that neighbor supports bundling.
   Section 3.3 suggests using configuration to discover that 
   the neighbor supports bundling. Is this of any use given
   that the neighbor may change its support at any time and 
   indicate the fact using the RRC bit?
   Are you just covering a possible implementation where it
   is well known what the behavior of the neighbor is so that
   it is never necessary to examine the RRC bit?  If so, this
   is in contradiction with section 2 that says that the node
   MUST examine the RRO on every received message.
  
2) Refresh period/ Refresh delay
   Section 3 suggests that refresh messages may be delayed up
   to their refresh interval. This isn't clear to me.
   Are you saying that a refresh message that is generated 
   _before_ the refresh timer pops can be delayed up until the
   time that the timer pops? 
   Or are you saying that a refresh message that is generated 
   when a refresh timer pops can be delayed up to at most 
   another time period equal to the value of the refresh timer?

3) Bundle message Send_TTL
   Section 3.4 says that the Send_TTL is used to calculate the
   number of non-IP hops, and that this is used later in 
   processing sub-messages.
   The same section says that each sub-message is processed as
   if it was received individually. Since each sub-message also
   contains a Send_TTL, what is the use of the Bundle Send_TTL?

4) Message Acknowledgement
   The last paragraph of section 4 says...
      Each message containing an MESSAGE_ID object may be 
      acknowledged via a MESSAGE_ID_ACK object.
   Is "may be" too generous? An Ack may only be sent if the
   MESSAGE_ID object requests an Ack.
   
5) Epoch
   I think the definition in 4.2 would benefit from some of the 
   text in 4.5.  In particular:
   - include "the RSVP agent restarts" with the "node reboots"
   - the value SHOULD be different from the last time the node 
     cycled

6) Message_Identifier
   Section 4 para 2 makes this unique within a sender/receiver
   pairing. The definition in 4.2 says that it is unique for
   a sender.
   Although this is unlikely to make a difference to the 
   implementation at a receiver, it does make a difference to
   sender and line trace implementations.

7) MESSAGE_ID_NACK object
   See section 4.3
   Is there scope for a reason code? There may be no use at the 
   moment, but this looks good for future extensions.
   
8) Epoch value
   Section 4.5 para 3...
        On startup, a node SHOULD randomly select
        a value to be used in the Epoch field. The
        node SHOULD ensure that the selected value
        is not the same as was used when the node 
        was last operational.
   - Why is it important that the assignment is random? The 
     important bit is to try to keep the value different from 
     previous use. Perhaps you should use RECOMMEND?
   - Is the previous use the only value to avoid? Might it be
     desirable to avoid several previous values, especially
     if the RSVP agent is cycled several times in quick 
     succession?
     
9) Message_Identifier value
   See section 4.5, para 4...
       When a node is sending a trigger message, the 
       Message_Identifier value MUST have a value that
       is greater than any other previously used value.
   This is within the scope of the current value of Epoch, right?
   Perhaps the text should say so.

10) Message_Identifier presence
    Section 5.1
    Is it worth stating that at least one Message_Identifier must
    be present in the MESSAGE_ID LIST object?
    Ditto MESSAGE_ID SRC_LIST and MCAST_LIST.

11) Srefresh NACK
    I think it would help to add clarification that the
    MESSAGE_ID_NACK refers to the Message_Identifier in the (e.g.)
    MESSAGE_ID LIST object of the Srefresh, *not* to the 
    Message_Identifier in the MESSAGE_ID object of the Srefresh.

    Perhaps it would also be useful to add a section on 
    "Acknowledgement of Srefresh" to clarify what is meant by an 
    Ack of an Srefresh (which may be requested through the flags 
    in the MESSAGE_ID object in the Srefresh. In particular, an 
    Ack of an Srefresh may still be followed by some 
    MESSAGE_ID_NACKs relating to Message_Identifiers carried by 
    the Srefresh.

_Typos_

section 2. Flags. First line. Delete "to" to read "when set, indicates that
this..."

section 3.3. 2nd para. penultimate line.  For "MUST not" read "MUST NOT"

section 3.4. 1st line. For "an Bundle" read "a Bundle"

section 4.  final para. For "an MESSAGE_ID" read "a MESSAGE_ID"

section 4.6, final para. final sentence should be clause of previous
sentence. Read "...and longer time, although additional..."

section 5.3, p27 last para. For "an MESSAGE_ID LIST" read "a MESSAGE_ID
LIST"

section 5.4 first line. For "indicated" read "indicate"

Hello,

Whoever your people are.... I seems to be recieveing all your mails 
communicating with each other but I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU PEOPLE.
I also realise that my email address is not in your communication but the 
true fact is I have been recieving hundreds of your mails in the pass few 
months. Please check your system and make sure I don't recieve them again.

I am getting sick and tired of deleting all these junk mails!

Thanks.

hi,

I would like to have a Linux implementation of RSVP...
Would any one tell me about the source site

Thanks,

Don't worry, we really appreciate the careful review!  We'll integrate your 
comments into the post last call version.

absolutely.

This is primarily aimed at covering the initialization case.  When so 
configured a node need not wait to receive a message from a neighbor before 
sending a bundle message.   It may also be used when non-RSVP nodes exist 
in the network and all RSVP nodes are known to support the extensions.  In 
my opinion, it would be a configuration error for the a node to be 
configured to expect that a neighbor supported the extensions when it in 
fact does not.

oh well, I thought I was clear...

yes.  Implicit in this is implementations can take advantage of this but 
aren't required to.

definitely not.

You are correct.  The the results of the test on Bundle message Send_TTL 
should be used in Path sub-message processing to detect a non-RSVP 
hop.  All other sub-messages are processed without modification.

I don't see a real problem with this given where it is in the document.  I 
also don't mind making it more clear by adding some words.

a reasonable comment.

Another good comment.  Consistency here would be useful.

Scope?  Do you mean room or value?

I'm not in favor of adding anything to the object that's not needed at this 
point.  We've been working to minimize features and options.  We can always 
define a "reason code" object or new c-type if and when the need arises.

You're getting into probabilities of when values get reused.  Randomness 
helps here.

I think it's adequately covered by text in the preceding paragraph:
    The [Epoch] value MUST NOT be changed unless the node or the
    RSVP agent is restarted.

sure.  You like things even more explicit than I do...

I though the text was fairly explicit in this area.  I'll review it with 
this comment in mind and see if we can be clearer.

OK.  Clear now.

I meant, is it worth adding a reason code now so that future extensions
don't require a modification of the format of the object.

But then you said...

OK.

Not a big issue.  The point I was trying to make is that it is OK to reset
the Message Identifier to 0 when starting with a new Epoch.  The text
actually says "greater than any other previously used value".

Ahh, you're right, I missed your point.  It is valid (although a little 
redundant with the definition of the field).  I'll clarify.

Thanks again for the comments,

This is to announce the RAP Working Group LAST-CALL for the COPS client MIB
document. The relevant IETF draft announcement is enclosed below. The
current intent is for this document to be on the Internet Standards track as
described in RFC-2026 although we will use this last call period, amongst
other things, to sense whether the RAP WG believes this is the appropriate
status for this document, or not. 

The RAP Working Group plans to make a decision on a recommendation for
progressing this document to the Proposed Standard state at the end of the
Working Group Last Call period which will be February 28th, 2000.

Comments should be sent to the RAP WG mailing list (rap@iphighway.com) as
soon as possible but not later than Monday February 28th, 2000.

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

	Title		: Application and Sub Application Identity Policy 
                          Element for Use with RSVP
	Author(s)	: Y. Bernet, R. Pabbati
	Filename	: draft-ietf-rap-rsvp-appid-01.txt
	Pages		: 4
	Date		: 10-Feb-00
	
RSVP [RFC 2205] signaling messages typically include policy data
objects, which in turn contain policy elements. Policy elements may
describe user and/or application information, which may be used by
RSVP aware network elements to apply appropriate policy decisions to
a traffic flow. This informational draft details the usage of policy
elements that provide application information.

A URL for this Internet-Draft is:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-rap-rsvp-appid-01.txt

Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username
"anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in,
type "cd internet-drafts" and then
	"get draft-ietf-rap-rsvp-appid-01.txt".

A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in
http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html 
or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt


Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.

Send a message to:
	mailserv@ietf.org.
In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-rap-rsvp-appid-01.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.

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

	Title		: Application and Sub Application Identity Policy 
                          Element for Use with RSVP
	Author(s)	: Y. Bernet, R. Pabbati
	Filename	: draft-ietf-rap-rsvp-appid-01.txt
	Pages		: 4
	Date		: 10-Feb-00
	
RSVP [RFC 2205] signaling messages typically include policy data
objects, which in turn contain policy elements. Policy elements may
describe user and/or application information, which may be used by
RSVP aware network elements to apply appropriate policy decisions to
a traffic flow. This informational draft details the usage of policy
elements that provide application information.

Comment on draft-ietf-rsvp-refresh-reduct-02.txt.

Section 5.5. the second paragraph says, "the node compares the new
checksum value and stored one periodically, and if the values differ,
then a corresponding standard Path or Resv refresh message should be
sent." 
But it is not clear who should send the standard refresh message. Is
it the node which found the checksum error, or the original node of
the corresponding state? 

If the former sends a standard refresh message, an incorrect state may 
be sent to the next hop, because the different values show some
internal errors. So we think, when the values differ, the node which
found the error needs to receive a standard message. 
However, most likely, the node will not receive any standard message,
since the sender continues to send Srefresh messages.

So, the node must explicitly request the sender for a full (standard)
message.
We think there are two approachs.
1) The node sends NACK to the original node as soon as he finds the
   checksum error.
2) The node sends NACK, when he receives the next Srefresh message
   from the original node.
When the node receives a standard message, it processes the whole
message regardless of the Message_ID value.

I think it's clear in full context:

    The first mechanism uses a checksum or other algorithm to detect a
    previously unnoticed change in internal state.  When sending a Path
    or Resv trigger message, a node should run a checksum or other
    algorithm, such as [MD5], over the internal state and store the
    result.  The choice of algorithm is an administrative decision.
    Periodically the node should rerun the algorithm and compare the new
    result with the stored result.  If the values differ, then a
    corresponding standard Path or Resv refresh message should be sent
    and the new value should be stored.  The recomputation period should
    be set based on the computation resources of the node and the
    reliability requirements of the network.

it's the node that finds the difference.


>If the former sends a standard refresh message, an incorrect state may
>be sent to the next hop, because the different values show some
>internal errors.

The describe mechanism is aimed solely aimed at advertising state changes 
that may have gone unnoticed by the mechanism that generates trigger 
messages.  (This is inherent in standard RSVP refreshes.)

Protection against internal state corruption is not addressed by this 
mechanism and cannot be addressed by the transmission of a refresh 
message.  As eluded to in your message, it may be addressed by the receipt 
of a refresh messages.  This is the purpose of the paragraph following the 
one mentioned above.  It simply says to periodically send standard 
refreshes even when doing summary refreshes.

>So we think, when the values differ, the node which
>found the error needs to receive a standard message.

I think you're combining two cases here: unnoticed state changes and 
internal state corruption.  Both of these are separately addressed in 
section 5.5.

>However, most likely, the node will not receive any standard message,
>since the sender continues to send Srefresh messages.

right, because the described mechanism is covering unnoticed changed not 
corruption.

or just follow all of section 5.5.

Thank you for the comment,

I would like to announce, to any interested party, the availability of the
KOM RSVP protocol engine, release version 2.0.

This release contains a number of new features over previous releases:
- improved internal code structure
- multi-threaded message processing (optional)
- integration of ALTQ package (CBQ and HFSC scheduling) on FreeBSD
- fuzzy timer optimization (optional)
- initial performance tests

Although I don't claim the code to be highly optimized, I have done some
initial performance evaluations (on PCs with PIII 450Mhz); the results are
quite promising (I believe):

- A FreeBSD router can handle the raw signalling of 20,000 unicast flows.
  CPU utilization is about 77%.

- In combination with ALTQ-HFSC packet classification and scheduling, it can
  be loaded with up to 10,000 unicast flows and at the same time handle packet
  classification and forwarding of ~ 20,000 packets/sec.

- Preliminary tests show that if other optimizations, especially enabling
  fuzzy timers, and further tuning are carried out, these results can be
  increased quite significantly, i.e. raw signalling for ~ 30,000 flows
  => ~ 50% CPU utilization.

Hi Martin,

I read your paper "Design and Implementation of RSVP based on
Object-Relationships", that describes your RSVP implementation, and I have a
question regarding a sentence in section 6.4:

"...as has been reported to the rsvp-test mailing list [Mev99], the ISI code
currently has a hard-coded limitation to support only 64 concurrent sessions."

The email quoted (sent by Patrick Mevzek on June 24th, 1999) says that some
MAX_SESSIONS parameter is set to 64 in the ISI code, and that attempts to
increase this number result in other problems with some data structures.

I recently downloaded the 4.2a4 release of ISI code, and I don't see such
limitation. Am I missing something?

Could you explain? Can anyone confirm (or object to) this statement?

Thanks in advance,
Stefano

I am sorry I can neither object or confirm. Nobody ever replied to the email
above and Patrick confirmed his observation during a private email exchange.
He also told me that he managed to compile it to be able to handle 262144
flows, but then it allocated 83 MBytes memory at startup. When I have looked
at the code (before this email), I found it rather unsuitable for extending
it or generally playing around with it, so I decided to develop new code and
did not look into rsvpd's details. Maybe I should have done it before
quoting this email, but then again, nobody replied...

Note that I do not intend to bash anything or anyone here. Developing code
while you are defining a protocol is something completely different from
developing code when everything is settled.

Greetings,
Martin

The goal of iBAND is to help IP network professionals at ISP's and
enterprise's understand the direction of work being done by standards
groups and vendors. These events have also become a meeting place for the
folks driving innovation in the areas of bandwidth management and traffic
engineering.

engineering and business executives, MIS and IT professionals, product and
development managers, researchers and other innovators.
