CALL FOR PAPERS

Special Issue on "Management of Softwarized Networks"
IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management
  -- http://www.comsoc.org/tnsm/cfp/si-msn --

    * Paper submission date: January 31, 2016
    * Notification of acceptance: April 30, 2016
    * Publication date*: September 1, 2016

Currently, there is a strong interest in both industry and academia in 
the softwarization of telecommunication networks and cloud computing 
infrastructures. This evolution of network softwarization is enabled by 
three paradigms: (i) Software-Defined Networking (SDN), which allows 
network control to be separated from the forwarding plane and allows for 
a flexible management of the network resources, (ii) Network 
Virtualization (NV), which enables virtualization of network resources, 
and (iii) Network Function Virtualization (NFV), which focuses on 
virtualization of software-based network functions. Instead of 
installing and managing dedicated hardware devices for these functions, 
they are instead implemented as software components and deployed on 
commodity hardware infrastructures. There are also ongoing research 
efforts focusing on Software-Defined Clouds, including edge clouds and 
Fog Computing.
In order to efficiently manage softwarized networks and to be able to 
use them to their full potential, there are many interesting challenges 
to be addressed (see the areas listed below).
We welcome submissions addressing the important challenges and 
presenting novel research or experimentation results. Survey papers that 
offer a perspective on related work and identify key challenges for 
future research will be considered as well. We look forward to your 
submissions!

Topics of interest for this special issue, include, but are not limited 
to the following:
    * APIs and management protocols for software programmable networks
    * Management of SDIs (Software-Defined Infrastructures)
    * Virtualization of resources, services and functions in SDN and NFV
    * Management of software-defined datacenters
    * Resource management for SDN or NFV-based systems
    * Efficient management of cloud computing and softwarized edge cloud 
infrastructures
    * Network softwarization for 5G networks
    * Life cycle management of virtual network functions, SFC modeling 
and representation
    * Composition algorithms and automated deployment of Service 
Function Chains (SFCs)
    * Algorithms for efficient orchestration in softwarized networks
    * Dynamic resource scaling and migration of network functions in 
NFV-based systems
    * Efficient network and service monitoring for SDN or NFV
    * Security management for SDN and NFV-based systems
    * Automated configuration and repair of virtualized software-defined 
systems
    * Algorithms for diagnosis and correlation of events in SDN or 
NFV-based systems
    * Availability and resilience of virtualized software-defined systems
    * Debugging and introspection of software-defined virtualized systems
    * Management of federated SDN/NFV infrastructures
    * Detailed experience reports from experimental testbeds
    * Transition strategies from existing networks to SDN/NFV

**Submission guidelines**
All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted 
through the IEEE
ManuscriptCentral service located at: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tnsm
Authors must indicate in the submission cover letter that their 
manuscript is intended for the "Management of Softwarized Networks" 
special issue.

We are looking forward to your submissions!

This draft seems to be written as if MPLS were a transport-independent 
forwarding mechanism for SFC.  While I expect MPLS (and MPLS-SPRING) to 
be used as a transport for MPLS, and sometimes as a transport across 
multiple service functions, I would NOT claim that it is itself 
transport independent.

As such, I am unclear on how the SFC working group could adopt this 
document.

Considered as a transport description, it does not appear to standardize 
anything, so it would seem at most to be an informational document.

Yours,
Joel M. Halpern

Abstract:
   This document discusses considerations related to passing host- and
   subscriber-related information to upstream Service Functions for the
   sake of policy enforcement and appropriate SFC-inferred forwarding.
   Once the information is consumed by SFC-aware functional elements,
   the information is stripped from packets so that privacy-sensitive
   information is not leaked outside an SFC-enabled domain.




Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission
until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.

Hi Joel,

As described in this draft, an MPLS label stack is used to indicate a certa=
in service function path. In other word, the MPLS label stack is now looked=
 as another SFC encapsulation form. As MPLS encapsulated packets could be t=
ransported over MPLS networks or IP networks through IP-based tunnels (e.g.=
, GRE or UDP), the MPLS-formatted SFC header could be safely deemed as tran=
sport-independent.

Since the MPLS-SPRING-based SFC approach as described in this draft is buil=
t on the mature MPLS forwarding paradigm, SFF functionalities could be easi=
ly implemented on existing MPLS devices without any change to their data-pl=
anes if the attached SFs are SFC-aware. Note that SFC-aware here (i.e., in =
the MPLS-SPRING-based SFC context) means MPLS-aware at least (e.g., being c=
apable of receiving and treating received packets with the MPLS encapsulati=
on). As SFC-aware SFs tend to be implemented in the NFV form, MPLS-awarenes=
s would not be a excessive demand for them, IMHO.

Best regards,
Xiaohu

#12: Remove "SFC/SFP Diagnosis" Section

 [[Note: This section is expected to be removed once the working
       group adopts a document on OAM.]]

 4.9. SFC/SFP Diagnosis

    The Control & Management planes should allow for the following:

    o  Assess the status of the serviceability of a SF (i.e., the SF
       provides the service(s) it is configured for).  Obviously, this
       assessment must not rely only on IP reachability to decide whether
       a SF is up and running.
    o  Diagnose the availability of a SFC (including the availability of
       a particular SFP bound to a given SFC).
    o  Retrieve the set of service function chains that are enabled
       within a domain.
    o  Assess whether an SFC-enabled domain is appropriately configured
       (including, check the configured chains are matching what should
       be configured in that domain, and ensure coherent classification
       rules are installed in and enforced by all the Classifiers of the
       SFC-enabled domain).
    o  Correlate classification policies with observed forwarding actions
       (including, assess the output of the classification rule applied
       on a packet presented to a Classifier of an SFC-enabled domain).
    o  Support the correlation between a service function chain and the
       actual forwarding path followed by a packet matching that service
       function chain.
    o  Notify the SFC Control Element whenever some (critical) events
       occur (for example, a malfunctioning SF instance).
    o  Re-use SF built-in diagnostic procedures specific to each SF.

#13: Sumandra Majee's comments

 Following are my comments and we should be able to discuss this before the
 last call.

 1.      4.7 SF liveliness detection:  An inband liveliness also should be
 considered and this control point should be the only recipient of this
 information. In a large distributed system this architecture may have a)
 scalability issues b) issues with reaction time.  If node#1 has the health
 information for node#2 it can (sometimes) independently take local
 decision. This will scale well. Furthermore attributes like latency etc.
 are measured at the local node, and this makes the feedback loop between
 observer and corresponding local control point much shorter.  This is in
 addition to what is described in draft.
 2.      4.8 Monitoring and counters: Yes it is needed, but I am not sure
 this needs to be part of this draft. Either way the list of attributes are
 best incomplete and it will be always be like that. Why bother with this
 section at all.
 3.
 4.      SFC Classification policy entry should be bound to one single
 service
 5.         function chain (or one single SFP)
              The above appears to be unnecessary, if I create a policy
 object I would rather refer it to multiple places. Can you describe a case
 or thought process behind this assertion.

 Regards

 Sumandra

#14: Taeho's Comments

 IMHO, for SFC resiliency, the aspect of high availability of SF/SFF should
 be emphasized, including failover of SF.
 Some attributes of SFF(e.g. high capacity) and SF(mandatory/optional)
 could be considered
 for dynamic path selection and connectivity of SFs.
 (http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-kang-sfc-dynamic-path-selection/)
 Dynamic path selection of multiple instances of SF can be used for policy-
 based load balancing as well.

 Draft-ww-sfc-control-plane-06 treats resiliency and load balancing,
 and I think these parts could be further extended with support of WG.

 Best Regards,
 Taeho

#15: Whether the control plane operates on SFC IDs, SFP IDs, etc.

 The draft includes this note:

          [[Note: The question of whether the data plane operates just in
          terms of SFP IDs or needs SFC IDs, as described in this version
          of the draft, is still under discussion among the authors.]]

 The current version of the draft is more generic as it does not preclude
 manipulating service chains based on an identifier of the chain. Also, it
 does not assume that the SFP indirection level is mandatory (SFP IDs).

 Note the current version accommodates various deployment contexts: e.g.,
 rely solely on a chain ID, rely on a chain ID and a SFP, supply a strict
 path, supply a loose path, etc. The purpose is to not dictate deployment
 choices on how forwarding is actually achieved within an SFC-enabled
 domain.

 An identifier of the chain is the minimum information that is needed, but
 other information may be supplied as well.

 Feedback from the WG about which information to supply is needed.

 FWIW, there is a ticket issue for this issue for the nsh spec.

 * status:  new => closed
 * resolution:   => fixed


Comment:

 Removed from draft-ietf-sfc-control-plane-00.

Given that we have an adopted architecture that specifies that the 
system should function in terms of service function paths, I would 
prefer that the control requirements draft align with the architecture 
in that regard.  We are, as far as I know, specifying the requirements 
for control mechanisms in support of the architecture and data plane we 
standardize.

Yours,
Joel

I do not consider this issue closed or fixed.

More generally, as a working group document, the working group needs to 
agree to the resolution the authors make before any issue is considered 
closed.

Joel

Hi Joel,

The issue is "closed" as there is no such section in draft-ietf-sfc-control=
-plane-00!=20

We had a note in draft-ww that basically says that we need to move that sec=
tion once an OAM draft is adopted by the WG. I created an issue in the trac=
ker so that the authors of the OAM draft are aware of that text, fwiw.=20

Thank you.

Cheers,
Med

Re-,

The control draft as it stands is compliant with the data plane architectur=
e document.=20

Indeed, the arch draft acknowledges the following:=20
(1) SFPs are "associated with a given SFC".=20
(2) SFPs are presented as a form of constrained SFCs.=20
(3) Some deployments may not impose any constraint on the abstract SFC.
(4) Some others may impose either loose or strict routes. =20

Requiring SFP IDs for deployments that do not impose any constraint on the =
SFC is an oxymoron because according to the data plane architecture, an SFP=
 is a "constrained version of the original SFC".

For deployments that do not impose any constraint on the abstract SFC, but =
adopt a fully distributed SFC forwarding strategy, a chain identifier is su=
fficient.

Because an SFP may be associated with several SFCs, the identifier of the S=
FC may be required to associate an SFP with its SFC.=20

Below an excerpt from the arch draft, fwiw:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
   A service function path (SFP) is a mechanism used by service chaining
   to express the result of applying more granular policy and
   operational constraints to the abstract requirements of a service
   chain (SFC).  This architecture does not mandate the degree of
   specificity of the SFP.  Architecturally, within the same SFC-enabled
   domain, some SFPs may be fully specified, selecting exactly which SFF
   and which SF are to be visited by packets using that SFP, while other
   SFPs may be quite vague, deferring to the SFF the decisions about the
   exact sequence of steps to be used to realize the SFC.  The
   specificity may be anywhere in between these extremes.

   As an example of such an intermediate specificity, there may be two
   SFPs associated with a given SFC, where one SFP specifies that any
   order of SFF and SF may be used as long as it is within data center
   1, and where the second SFP allows the same latitude, but only within
   data center 2.

   Thus, the policies and logic of SFP selection or creation (depending
   upon the solution) produce what may be thought of as a constrained
   version of the original SFC.  Since multiple policies may apply to
   different traffic that uses the same SFC, it also follows that there
   may be multiple SFPs may be associated with a single SFC.
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

Med

I actually think your proposed resolution for this issue is correct.

However, until the WG agrees, it is merely a proposed resolution.  We as 
authors (and you as lead author) do not get to declare issues closed 
based on our own judgment.

Yours,
Joel

As far as I can tell, there is nothing in the Service Chaining work that 
requires correlating service path IDs with service chain IDs within the 
data plane.  Any such relationship exists entirely within the control 
plane or above, and would be driven by requirements other than the data 
plane.  When I look at this document, all of the requirements that talk 
about service function chain IDs can be accurately captured, in terms of 
data plane requirements, by service function path IDs.  Thus, the 
requirement that the data plane has is to see such path IDs.  Yes, in 
some deployments those will be 1-1 with chain IDs.  They are still path IDs.

Introducing a requirement for the data plane to see and work with chain 
IDs is not grounded in the work of the group.

Yours,
Joel M. Halpern

Joel,

I agree with your position.   Elements of the SFC architecture (e.g., SFF) =
need to know about multiple aspects of any particular SFP including which o=
f its SF's shall be invoked and in which order, which is the next SFF, if a=
ny, etc.   It is not unreasonable for it to also know to which chain it bel=
ongs, if such knowledge is necessary or beneficial.   And if it is benefici=
al, this binding can come in the control plane along with the other attribu=
tes describing the SFP.

   Ron

As far as I can tell, there is nothing in the Service Chaining work that re=
quires correlating service path IDs with service chain IDs within the data =
plane.  Any such relationship exists entirely within the control plane or a=
bove, and would be driven by requirements other than the data plane.  When =
I look at this document, all of the requirements that talk about service fu=
nction chain IDs can be accurately captured, in terms of data plane require=
ments, by service function path IDs.  Thus, the requirement that the data p=
lane has is to see such path IDs.  Yes, in some deployments those will be 1=
-1 with chain IDs.  They are still path IDs.

Introducing a requirement for the data plane to see and work with chain IDs=
 is not grounded in the work of the group.

Yours,
Joel M. Halpern

Hi Joel,

The excerpt I provided from the arch draft clearly shows that extreme cases=
 are allowed: non-constrained SFCs, fully constrained SFCs, and any variati=
on in between. The control plane should be able to accommodate all those ca=
ses.

The data plane draft is also explicit there is a binding between the servic=
e chain and its SFPs. The control plane relies on that ground for the requi=
rements it derives for the interfaces that are in scope. It does not mandat=
e that correlation should be transported in packets, but it identifies this=
 is a piece of information that is needed to be communicated via control in=
terfaces.=20

The document DOES NOT mandate any IDs.=20

Cheers,
Med

#16: RSP-related Considerations (L.  Dunbar/A.  Malis)

 Discuss what to do with this appendix.

 ==
 Appendix A.  RSP-related Considerations

    NOTE: This section records some contributions proposed by L.  Dunbar
    and A.  Malis, but have not been discussed yet among authors.

 A.1.  Encoding the Exact SFF-SF-sequence in Data Packets

    Encoding the exact RSP in every packet has the benefit and the issues
    associated with source routing.  This approach may not be optimal
    when the SFP doesn't change very frequently, as in minutes or hours.

    There are contexts that it might not be feasible for the head end
    Classifier to be notified of the changes of SFF-sequence or SFF-SF-
    Sequence for a given SFP because of the time taken for the
    notification and the limited capability of the Classifier nodes.

 A.2.  Fully Controlled SFF-SF-Sequence for a SFP

    This section describes the information that can be exchanged over C2
    interface (Section 3.3.2) when the SFC Control Element explicitly
    passes the steering policies to all SFFs for the SFF-SF-Sequence of a
    given SFC.  In this model, each SFF doesn't need to signal other SFFs
    for the SFP.

    Suppose the SFC ID for this SFP is "yellow", an example of policy to
    "sff-a" is depicted in Figure 2 (for illustration proposes)

               Matching                     |       Action
    ----------------------------------------+-------------------------
    SFC ID = "yellow" & ingress = sffx-port | next-hop: "sf2" & VID
    SFC ID = "yellow" & ingress = sf2-port  | next-hop: "sf3" & VID
    SFC ID = "yellow" & ingress = sf3-port  | next-hop: sff-b

         Figure 2: Example of Traffic Steering Policy to a SFF node

    The SFF nodes may not be directly adjacent to each other.  They can
    be interconnected by tunnels, such as GRE, VxLAN, etc.  SFs are
    attached to a SFF node or SFC Proxy node via Ethernet link or other
    link types.  Therefore, the steering policies to a SFF node for
    service function chain depends on if the packet comes from previous
    SFF or comes from a specific SF, i.e., the SFC Forwarding Policy
    Table entries have to be ingress port specific.  There are multiple
    different steering policies for one flow within one SFF and each set
    of steering policies is specific for an ingress port.

    The semantics of traffic steering rules can be "Match" and "Action",
    similar to the "route" described in [I-D.ietf-i2rs-rib-info-model].
    The "match" and "action" for distinct ports can be different.  The
    matching criteria for SFF can be more sophisticated.  For example,
    the matching criteria could be any fields in the data packets:

    o  Ingress port
    o  Destination MAC address
    o  Source MAC address
    o  VLAN_id,
    o  Destination IP address
    o  Source IP address
    o  Source port number
    o  Destination port number
    o  DSCP
    o  Packet size, etc., or any combination thereof.

    A SFF node may not support some of the matching criteria listed
    above.  It is important that SFC control plane can retrieve the
    supported matching criteria by SFF nodes.  The "Actions" for traffic
    steering could be to steer traffic to the attached service function
    or SF instantiations via a specific port.

    The "Actions" to SFC Proxy may include a method to map the SFC
    Identifier carried in the packet header to a locally significant link
    identifier, e.g., VLAN-ID, and a method to construct and encapsulate
    the SFC header back to the packets when they come back from the
    attached SFs.

    This approach does not require using an end-to-end signaling protocol
    among Classier nodes and SFF nodes.  However, there may be problems
    encountered if SFF nodes are not updated in the proper order or not
    at the same time.  For example, if the SFF "A" and SFF "C" get flow
    steering policies at slightly different times, some packets might not
    be directed to some service functions on a chain.

Med,

It seems to me you are reading what you want to read from the architecture =
and data plane documents, and not what it's actually there.=20

Where are service chain IDs within the data plane?

Thanks,

Hi Carlos,

As I mentioned in my previous message to Joel, the control plane draft DOES=
 NOT mandate any IDs. It lists a set of information that is needed to be in=
structed via control plane interfaces. I'm arguing that not only SFPs are n=
eeded to be communicated to the control points, but also service chains.=20

Please refer to the excerpt from the data plane arch I included in one of m=
y messages.=20

FWIW, there is a ticket for the NSH specification draft since almost 5 mont=
hs: http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/sfc/trac/ticket/1=20

Cheers,
Med

Linda,

It seems the issue that this draft attempts to raise can be summarized with=
 this question:


"When traffic is steered to SF3, how SF3 to correctly analyze the
   Mandatory Context Headers in NSH within the arriving traffic?"

The solution to this, however, is neither of what's presented in Sections 4=
.1 and 4.2. The answer is much simpler and already there: the SFP (by way o=
f the SFP ID) provides context to understand the format of the metadata. In=
 other words, a given SFP ID will use one of the MD formats/syntax (DC, Mob=
ility, something else).

Thanks,

Dear all,

   Here is a new draft proposed to raise an issue which may exist when MD T=
ype=3D0x01 is mandatory.
And to motivate the further discussion about MD Type. Wish you can pay atte=
ntion to this to
continue the discussion and make a consensus ;)

  Thanks..

Best Wishes,

&gt; Abstract:<br>
&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp;Service function chain is the definition of an ordered se=
t of service<br>
&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp;functions. &nbsp;After instantiated, the service function=
 path is created<br>
&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp;and the classified traffic is steered through the corresp=
onding<br>
&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp;service function path and then forwarded to the final des=
tination.<br>
&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp;Metadata (MD) is conveyed in SFC data plane which provide=
s the<br>
&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp;ability to exchange context information between classifie=
rs and SFs,<br>
&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp;among SFs, and between external systems and SFs. &nbsp;Th=
is document is<br>
&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp;motivated to state an issue when MD Type =3D 0x1 and disc=
uss which<br>
&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp;Metadata Type in more appropriate to be mandate in SFC da=
ta plane.<br>

First, if we are doing to assume that Service Functions will use the 
SFP-ID to disambiguate type-1 metadata in mixed environments, we should 
say that in the draft.

Second, I am a bit concerned by this proposed behavior, because we have 
been careful up till now to have the Service Functions act on metadata 
without requiring per-SFP state.  This would mark a significant shift.

yours,
Joel

Unless we are using per-subscriber SFPs (which scalesvery badly, but you 
can do it) I would expect that association to be made on the basis of 
subscriber metadata.  In normal circumstances, the path ID is neither 
necessary nor sufficient for the service function to enable symmetry.

Even if the SFPs are at a granularity so that there are separate SFP IDs 
for helping enforce path symmetry, that will not provide the state 
needed for the service functions.  And the state that is needed for the 
service functions is, in all cases I can see, sufficeint without 
examining the SFP ID.

Yours,
Joel

That is an aspect that I had not considered in asking your question. 
That is not about symmetry of SFPs, but about the behavior of service 
functions which generate extra packets in each direction.

Over all, that is seriously under-specified, and we should address it.

While I don't know what answer the working group will adopt, my 
inclination is to say that such packet generation needs a classifier. 
The service function generates the packet with whatever metadata it 
wants to attach, and then hands it to a classifier to determine what to 
do with it.

Separately, I would note that even if we adopt an SFP-stateful solution 
for such service functions, I would not want the metadata handling to 
drive a requirement for such state in all service functions in order to 
understand the metadata.
Before someone argues that this would only be needed in hybrid 
deployments, I would observe that I expect service functions to be 
designed and built to work in both dedicated and hybrid deployments. 
And if MD-1 is a MUST (as it currently is written) then they all have to 
have this capability.

Yours,
Joel

>>>>>      Metadata (MD) is conveyed in SFC data plane which provides the
>>>>>      ability to exchange context information between classifiers and SFs,
>>>>>      among SFs, and between external systems and SFs.  This document is

<div>Unless we are using per-subscriber SFPs (which scalesvery badly, but y=

<div>First, if we are doing to assume that Service Functions will use the</=

<div>say that in the draft.</div>

<div>It seems the issue that this draft attempts to raise can be summarized=

<div><br>
</div>

</div>
<div>The solution to this, however, is neither of what's presented in</div>
<div>Sections 4.1 and 4.2. The answer is much simpler and already there: th=
e</div>
<div>SFP (by way of the SFP ID) provides context to understand the format o=
f</div>
<div>the metadata. In other words, a given SFP ID will use one of the MD</d=

<div>Abstract:</div>
<div>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Service function chain is the defi=
nition of an ordered set of service</div>
<div>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;functions.&nbsp;&nbsp;After instan=
tiated, the service function path is created</div>
<div>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and the classified traffic is stee=
red through the corresponding</div>
<div>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;service function path and then for=
warded to the final destination.</div>
<div>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Metadata (MD) is conveyed in SFC d=
ata plane which provides the</div>
<div>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ability to exchange context inform=
ation between classifiers and SFs,</div>
<div>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;among SFs, and between external sy=
stems and SFs.&nbsp;&nbsp;This document is</div>
<div>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;motivated to state an issue when M=
D Type =3D 0x1 and discuss which</div>
<div>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Metadata Type in more appropriate =
to be mandate in SFC data plane.</div>

>                                Service function chain is the definition
>                         of an ordered set of service
>                                functions.  After instantiated, the
>                         service function path is created
>                                and the classified traffic is steered
>                         through the corresponding
>                                service function path and then forwarded
>                         to the final destination.
>                                Metadata (MD) is conveyed in SFC data

Title: Service Function Chaining Use Cases for Network Security
Document date: 2015-09-24
Group: Individual Submission
Pages: 22
URL:            https://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-wang-sfc-ns-use-=

Abstract:
  Enterprise networks deploy a variety of security devices to protect
  the network, hosts and endpoints.  Network security devices, both
  hardware and virtual, operate at all OSI layers with scanning and
  analysis capabilities for application content.  Multiple specific
  devices are often deployed together for breadth and depth of defense.
  This document describes use cases of Service Function Chaining (SFC)
  when deploying network security devices in the manner described above
  and also puts forth requirements for their effective operation.




Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submissio=
