Hi Mukesh

   I have the following questions for you regarding VRRP:

   1- When the master router responds to ARP request, does it use the
virtual MAC address of the VR
       as the source MAC address of the layer 2 header of the ARP =
response ?
   2- What source MAC address is used by the routers in the VR =
configuration
when they send VR control
       messages (e.g. advertisements).

   Thanks

   Hesham

VR advertisements, and only VR advertisements, should be sent
with a source address in the layer two header set to the VR MAC
address.

I think there are two principle reasons for not using the VR MAC
address as the layer 2 source in any other packets. First, VR
advertisements are the only packets guaranteed to only be sent
when you own the address, so it avoids the possibility of using
it when you shouldn't. Second, you always want to be able to
identify the host that sent any given packet so you can debug
problems.

The WG last call for this draft has ended.

The only thing that needs to be fixed is the authors list (unless Bob =
has received any comments directly to him). In the WG meeting in Vienna, =
the conclusion of the discussion was that Bob Hinden should be listed as =
"editor", and a "contributors" section should be added acknowledging the =
others. (this can be found in the meeting minutes)

I want to confirm this decision on the mailing list. If anyone =
(specially folks that are listed as authors in the draft) has any =
opposition to this proposal, please respond.

If I don't see any opposition till 10th Aug, I will assume that everyone =
is ok with it and I will ask Bob to submit the final version of the =
draft with this change.

regards
Mukesh

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

	Title		: Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol
	Author(s)	: R. Hinden
	Filename	: draft-ietf-vrrp-spec-v2-09.txt
	Pages		: 30
	Date		: 2003-8-14
	
This memo defines the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP).
VRRP specifies an election protocol that dynamically assigns
responsibility for a virtual router to one of the VRRP routers on a
LAN.  The VRRP router controlling the IP address(es) associated with
a virtual router is called the Master, and forwards packets sent to
these IP addresses.  The election process provides dynamic fail over
in the forwarding responsibility should the Master become
unavailable.  This allows any of the virtual router IP addresses on
the LAN to be used as the default first hop router by end-hosts.  The
advantage gained from using VRRP is a higher availability default
path without requiring configuration of dynamic routing or router
discovery protocols on every end-host.
This document replaces RFC2338 'Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol'.
RFC2338 will become historic.

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

Folks,

In the WG meeting in Vienna, we all agreed that the=20
sub-second timers should be allowed at least in VRRPv3=20
but we couldn't agree about the granularity of the=20
advertizing interval for allowing them.

There were concerns that if we allow the advertizing
intervals in miliseconds, it will allow the user to
bombard the LAN with VRRP packets which is dangerous.

Advertizing intervals in the units of 1/10 seconds
or 1/100 seconds seemed like good choices.

We would like to know what is everyone's opinion=20
about this. Please reply with your preference.

1) 1/10 second
2) 1/100 second
3) 1/1000 second (miliseconds)

regards
Mukesh

It would be especially short-sighted to use coarse-grained timers.  I
don't see a problem with millisecond resolution.

Also, keeping people from doing something stupid, like setting the timers
to 1ms on a 10Mb/s LAN, would seem like an implementation decision, not the
sort of thing that should be built into the protocol.

Doing it for v3 is straightforward, since there's no
compatibility issue, and as Mukesh's note says, the only
issue is what the units should be.

The other issue is whether to make a new version of VRRP for IPv4
that uses subsecond timers.

The issues for that are:

1) what is the encoding of the field, given that it can't be
expanded beyond a byte. I think it was Bill Fenner at the meeting
that said that some spec or another did some exponential type encoding,
and that we might as well copy something someone else has done. If someone
can give a pointer to that, that would be helpful.

2) how to (and whether to) mix VRRP-for-IPv4 routers that only do
units of seconds with ones that do subseconds.

Let's say we want to do this...where the new guys would like to use
subsecond granularity, but will be willing to only be seconds if there's
a VRRPv2 router on the link.

So how do they do this? They could send a new version number (let's say 4),
and it won't confuse the old guy (the spec says it must discard it).
However, if there is an old guy, that means that the new guys have to
speak v2, in units of seconds. Presumably they know an old
guy is there because they see a VRRP message with version=2.
Suppose someone upgrades the last
old guy. How will the new guys know that their neighbors are really new
guys even though those neighbors are emitting v2 messages?

That, by the way, is why I like two fields "version of this message",
and "version I can speak". In IKEv2, FYI, we did it with one additional
bit: a flag that says "I could speak a higher version"

But with the current VRRP encoding, I don't even see any reserved bits
we could use to signal subsecond capability.

since I missed the working group meeting and
didn't see explicit justification for this decision
in the meeting minutes I'm wondering if someone
could summarize the justification for this feature?

I don't have the paper right here in front of
me, but the original vrrpv2 design incorporated
findings from the higginson&shand DEC TR referenced
in the RFC.  a simple picture showing 
a generalized internetwork, illustrating where
failures could occur in end-to-end connectivity,
and then expected recovery interval for typical
IETF standardized protocols.  basically illustrated
that protocol recovery on the order of seconds
was inline with Internet standards.

have these findings changed?  is there a movement
toward end-to-end connectivity containing only
vrrp ``routing'' and L2 with transparent, sub-second
recovery?

later,danny

look at the igmpv3 rfc3376.  membership query
message max response time (secton 4.1.1) or
querier interval (section 4.1.7).  these fields
actually encode both a linear range of values
and an exponential encoding based on a flag bit.

We are in favor of 1/10 second. It is definitely a good idea to include this in the new version of VRRP for IPv4 and get it standardised. One suggestion to do this is to use one of the unused bits in the packet. The bit setting can indicate that the units in Advert Int are in seconds or in 1/10th of second.

But unless the version was changed, a receiver who didn't know about the 
change would not know to look at that bit and there would be 
interoperabiltiy and/or stability problems.  Might as well just redefine 
the value to be  1/10 of second in a new version.

I could see something like this in other protocols, but the fact
that only the master system sends VRRP packets makes it really hard
to negotiate. The only way to hear from the dissenters involves them
sending a packet that takes over the VR MAC address. Add to that
the fact that different systems would be using different intervals
depending on whether they think there are v2 nodes present, and I
don't see much hope.

If we want subsecond timers in IPv4, I think just redefining the
unit for a new version is the most reasonable approach. For
backward compatibility, the spec can suggest or even insist that
implementations support both versions depending on how they're
configured. Once all nodes are upgraded, changing the interval is
simply a matter of reconfiguring all the routers, just like it is
in v2.

Ah right. But perhaps that very property makes it possible without the
extra bits for "I could support higher".

Because maybe if the master can support faster granularity, it sends
both the v2 VRRP messages with 1 second, and the v4(?) with, say,
a timer of 13/100 seconds. Then all the v4 nodes will quickly jump
in when he dies, but any v2 nodes will clunkily sit around and not
notice for several seconds, but if there are any other v4 nodes, 
they will have in the meantime taken over as master.

So the downside is the extra v2 VRRP message. But other than that
it seems like it would work. If there are any other v4 nodes they
would (regardless of priority) jump in ahead of any v2 nodes (assuming
the VRRPv4 message had a timer much less than a second).

Bob, I think we will have to agree to disagree on this issue.

I continue to believe that support for duplicate MAC addresses places
additional constraints on the underlying data-link layer, creating potential
restrictions or incompatibilities for VRRP as new IEEE 802 variants emerge
or switch vendors develop new optimizations for traditional Ethernet links.
Moreover, hiding the identity of the current router may complicate
troubleshooting and keep "smart" workload management software on end hosts
from noting and responding to network failures.

To me, the argument that virtual MAC addresses have worked satisfactorily in
the IPv4 VRRP world is not compelling.  As I said in Vienna, NAT may be
deployed and proven technology in the IPv4 world too, but that should not
prevent us from considering architecturally cleaner designs as we move
toward IPv6.

In general, layer violations should be avoided because they introduce
complexity and constraints.  As someone who has experience with DECnet Phase
IV, I have become painfully aware of the pitfalls of having upper-layer
protocols override the hardware MAC address.  Even without the added
complication of suddenly moving the virtual MAC address to another part of
the network, simply using a physical MAC address different from the hardware
address brings confusion and dependencies.

As you (Bob) pointed out, the picture gets even more complicated when
considering subsecond timers and the goal of very fast failover.  How
quickly will your switches learn the new location of the router's VMAC
address, and propagate their spanning tree data throughout the extended LAN?
If it takes VRRP 3 seconds to initiate failover and your switches another 3
seconds, is that acceptable?  Users who want fast failover will have to shop
around for switches that respond quickly to movement of a unicast MAC
address.

On the other hand, if you get rid of VMAC, you eliminate the dependency on
switch behavior.

             - Mark

I don't agree that it is so bad or as you say an "architecturally awful
design".  I have thought about it as one of the great MAC address hacks :-)

The advantage of this approach is that it works without the hosts having to
do anything (e.g., receive and process an ND message, update tables,
etc.).  The switch over is transparent to the hosts.

This approach is well proven in the IPv4 version of VRRP.  It is running
operationally in many places and I am not aware of any problems.  Are you
aware of any technical problems with the virtual MAC address approach?

Thanks,
Bob

What about someone coming up with a draft about this detailing all=20
the schemes and interoperability issues ?

We can make the decision about whether we should go forward with that
or not after reading the draft ?

Anyone wants to volunteer ??

Regards,
Mukesh

I haven't heard that the interval field is expanding, and it
sounds as if we're avoid making the unit variable. In that case,
1/1000 seems wrong because the max interval is now 1/4 of a
second. And 1/100 doesn't seem that much better, capping at 2.55
seconds. So that would lead me to 1/10, but is this small enough
to satisfy the requirement? I know the goal is faster failovers,
but I don't recall if a minimum target was set.

Pretty slick. Running v2 and v4 concurrently on the same network for
the same VR. I'm sure we could make it work, but once we've spelled
out all the details about the relation between the two protocols,
what with preemption, priorities, and those kinds of requirements, I
think we'll have a lot of rules for very little gain. After all, if
someone really thinks it's important to failover in .3 seconds
instead of 3 seconds, I'm not sure why they'd be messing around with
v2-only implementations anywhere in the picture.

After the removal of the security in VRRPv3, the auth type field=20
(just before the Adver Int field) is now a reserved field. So we
have room for expanding the Advertising Interval to 2 bytes. That
will give us a range of 1 msec to 65 seconds if we choose 1/1000,
10 msec to 650 seconds. On the other hand, if we choose 1/10, we
can let the Advert Int field be 1 byte and have the range 100 msec
to 25 seconds.

So if we are convinced that we should go for 1/1000, we can go=20
forward with it.

regards
Mukesh

We had a requirement to get failover time in the order of hundreds of milli seconds. But to keep the system interoperable with existing implementations, the check for milliseconds granularity is ignored in our implementation right now. If the router is configured for Advt Interval of 100 msecs, it would send value = 0 in the 1 byte Advt Interval field of the packet. This will be same for configured value of 100 to 900 msecs. 

If we have this requirement of minimum failover time in some milliseconds, then we need to either expand the field or use some of the unused bits in the packet. That leads to this question - what is the minimum failover time that we want to set in the standards ? We are ok with 100 msecs.

HI,

We published a draft "draft-ietf-vrrp-ipv6-mib-00.txt " that defines =
managed object for VRRPv3=20
defined in " draft-ietf-vrrp-ipv6-spec-05.txt".=20

There were some question at the WG meeting about the rational behind=20
two different MIBs, one for VRRP for IPv4 and another for VRRP for IPv6.

The following "were" the reasons for defining two separate MIBs.

The main Reason:
-VRRP protocol is inherently IP version specific. Though the protocol
seems similar in certain aspects, VRRP for IPv6 is different from VRRP
for IPv4 and hence require two different MIBs.

Other reasons:
- We already have a working VRRP IPv4 protocol and a corresponding MIB
definition that is being used by industry.
- It is not necessary to update the VRRP for IPv4 MIB (RFC 2787)=20
to make it IPv6 address aware - according to RFC3291:
=3D=3D=3D=3D
MIB modules which define management information that is=20
specific to particular IP version (either IPv4 or IPv6)
and which is very unlikely to ever be applicable to=20
another IP version do not need to be redefined.
=3D=3D=3D=3D
=20
This being said, we would like to know the views of every one=20
who understand both the protocols to express if it "makes sense"=20
to have a single MIB definition.

- With the removal of authentication in VRRP for IPv4, both the=20
protocols are much closer than before (from =
configuration/management/statistics point of view)

- Major difference being "associated IP address" in VRRPv2.=20

- With the changes specified in "draft-ietf-vrrp-spec-v2-09.txt"
we will require to define a new MIB for VRRPv2 any way.

- The present MIB tables are indexed on "interface Index" and "VRID". I =
can=20
see a way to introduce "Version" into the index to identify if the row=20
corresponds to VRRPv2 or VRRPv3 (and hence if it is IPv4 or IPv6). This=20
could be messy but we can come up with a way to define one MIB.

- Putting on a network administrator hat, would you expect statistics=20
(for example Invalid vrID packets received) in one table for both the =
protocols?=20
Or=20
one table with two entries - one for VRRPv2 and the other for VRRPv3?=20
Or
Two separate tables each having statistics for one particular protocol =
version?

Please voice your opinion for and against having two different MIBs and =
the reason(s)
behind your opinion.

Based on your input, we will proceed with the changes to the existing =
draft.

thanks

Telecom operators are used to 50ms (SDH, Sonet) failover time.
MPLS is promising 50ms.
There is work going on in OSPF and IS-IS to reach "millisecond =
convergence"

From application side :  SS7 signaling doesn't behave well if there is =
over 700ms cut.

So 100ms granularity is too big.
Probably 10ms granularity would be OK.=20

Good points, but why is everyone suggesting engineering to exactly the
current requirements instead of leaving room for future enhancements?

I say again that the resolution should be millisecond (if not smaller),
and any restrictions on that should be in implementations, not in the
specification.

We think that keeping the tables separate would be a cleaner approach. 
The query would usually be for v4 or v6 but not both at the same time.

Re: one MIB for IPv4+IPv6 that would obsolete the current IPv4-only,
or two MIBs, one for IPv4-only, and one for IPv6-only:

It would be good if someone would ask Bert Wijnen his opinion on this.

And a question...are we assuming the existence of mixed-IPv4/IPv6 VRRP
environments? (as in, might a single router be simultaneously involved
in an IPv4 and an IPv6 election)? If so, that might argue for being
one MIB. I think the authors (and others) have made good cases for
2 documents forever (rather than temporarily V4-only, to be obsoleted).
But I got the impression that Bert Wijnen would prefer a single document.

I don't presume to speak for anyone in the OPS group, but...

If you have one MIB, you tie advancement of both protocols to that MIB
in the standards process.  All must advance as one.

hi,=20
The bottom line question here is:

Do we envision having managed objects that are VRRP-IP version =
independent?
i.e., at the configuration/monitoring level user/administrator is =
looking at VRRP and not VRRP-IPv4 and VRRP-IPv6?=20

Do we think that one definition of "invalidVRID" (as an example)=20
is good enough to specify invalidVRIDs on both VRRP-IPv4 and VRRP-IPv6=20
protocols in a mixed environment? If we *do not* need the granularity=20
to define per protocol basis, then extending the existing definition=20
to include VRRP-IPv6 is the way to go (and hence have one MIB).

I think that we will require the granularity of configuration objects
at protocol level (to debug misconfigurations for example), Which means
that we need to put in protocol version for all the common objects to=20
distinguish between two protocols.

Please note that there are a number of differences between the two=20
protocols too. Which means that we would have to define some of the=20
parameters that apply for VRRP-IPv4 only and some for VRRP-IPv6 only.

Defining one MIB means:
- No backward compatibility (the new MIB structure will have to be=20
different from the existing structure)
- The MIB will have protocol version specific objects that apply=20
to only one particular protocol any way.

From the development point of view, I think VRRP-IPv6 will be =
implemented=20
separate from the VRRP-IPv4 implementation, which means that it is =
easier to implement a separate new MIB than to change existing MIB =
implementation=20
(well this is debatable - I know..)

Thanks
kalyan

I wanted to weigh in *against* the artificial, shared MAC
addresses, too. Contrary to Bob's assertion, I found them
a significant problem even in IPv4, well worth avoiding
if there's any possibility. One problem I've previously
brought up here is the one switch I ran into that dropped
any packet that changed a learned addresses. This resulted
in a ping-pong problem where two routers would both be
happily sending advertisements once a second yet never
hearing one another. (My implementation routinely sends
two advertisements at a time, one using the natural MAC
address as the source, just to make sure this isn't a
problem.)

But even beyond that, I found that during development,
implementation problems could lead to strange problems
that were hard to diagnose. Some problems were hard
to even detect. For example, one switch had a configuration
parameter that caused it to interpret the duplicate MAC
address not as a move, but as extending the MAC address
to two links. Then it would happily send traffic for
that MAC down both the links, wasting bandwidth on the
link that was no longer supporting the VR.

Originally I saw the VRRP MAC address as a clever trick
to provide maximum support for even the stupidest of
remote nodes. But now that I've encountered such a wide
range of reactions by modern switches, I'm not so sure
I think it's a good idea in IPv4, let alone in IPv6.

The US Navy has a shipboard application where we need subsecond
timers for survivability.  We currently have a solution that
uses HSRP tuned to meet these requirements.  We would like to
be able to deploy the same solution using vrrp (as an open
standard). We understand that there are other components
that are required to give us the full capability that we
require. We also understand that this approach should be
used with caution.

We understand that our application is not a typical
use of these protocols, but we need
to be able to survive any single fault transparently to
the application.

Mukesh has suggested a draft that addresses the
requirements for this capability along with options
and interoperability issues.  Perhaps as part of this
draft we can revisit the above discussion.  I have
agreed to help put this draft together, and I am
happy to accept assistance!

Hi,

I propose following way to code the Advertisement Interval octet:

divide the octet in two parts : the first two bits are "divider" (in =
base 10) and the last 6 bits are the actual value.

00xxxxxx -> divide the x's by 10^0 (=3D 1)-> Adv Int  range is  0 ... =
63sec, with sec granularity
01xxxxxx -> divide the x's by 10^1 (=3D 10) -> Adv Int range is 0 ... =
6.3sec, with 100ms granularity
10xxxxxx -> divide the x's by 10^2 (=3D100) -> Adv Int range is 0 ... =
0.63sec , with 10ms granularity
11xxxxxx -> divide the x's by 10^3 (=3D1000) -> Adv Int range is 0... =
0.063sec , with 1ms granularity

With the above coding existing implementations will work,=20
1) the adv interval is one octet
2) I think in the real life, longer than 60 sec adv interval is not =
used.

Milli second granularity is needed in the small time scales.=20
When using long (e.g. 1sec) Adv Interval, the 1ms granularity is not =
needed. I would say 100ms is enough.

Mmmm... just so you can check for your self, 
if I just look at the MIB structure, then it seems to me
that there is A LOT of commonality?
So that seems to "justify" or "guide" to try and come up with a
single common MIB module.

The doc checked: draft-ietf-vrrp-ipv6-mib-00.txt

- There is a WG chairs web page (accessible from main IETF page)
  at: http://www.ietf.org/IESG/wgchairs.html
  - it has a ptr to ID-NITs (Internet-Draft Requirements)
    that have not been checked on this draft
  - It would be good to add a ptr to mib-review-guidelines
    I will take that as an action point
  - I believe there is a security guidelines too now...

- The ptr to the mib-guidelines has been communicated on the
  wgchairs mailing list (all chairs are on that list) several
  times over the last 6 months. It has also been posted
  to mibs@ops.ietf.org (a generic MIB maling list, I would
  recommend that MIB document editors/authors subscribe to
  it, majordom method). It is also vailable from
  the www.ops.ietf.org web pages, which also has ptrs to
  current MIB boilerplate and MIB security Guidelines.
  The current guidelines are in: 
     draft-ietf-ops-mib-review-guidelines-02.txt

- Anyways.... overall structure of the MIB is probably OK.
  After a quick scan I just wonder why this is IPv6 specific.
  Why not make the MIB such that it can deal with both IPv4 and
  IPv6... should not be too difficult I think, and it could
  obsolete rfc2787. Maybe some objects need to be deprecated and
  new ones added to advance 2787 to support both IP versions.
  I'd need to check in detail if such is feasable or makes sense.
  Maybe people did evaluate that already... if so, they could
  explain it in the new draft/document. Maybe sect2 is trying to 
  say that... I need to check deeper to understand if it can be done
  or not.

- From ID-Nits and MIB review guidelines (examples):

  - they are using old (pre-2003) MIB boilerplate
    cuases references to obsolete RFCs
  - they are using pre-2003 MIB security Considerations section
    Also causes refs to obsolete docs.
  - Counter32 objects MUST state which timer object indicates
    discontinuity
  - Read-create tables MUSt specify what the persistency behaviour
    is (eithr in DESCRIPTION clause or by adding StorageType
    object
  - IPR section is missing
  - Missing REVISION clause in MIB Module
  - A MIB module must compile clean.  Here is what I get with smilint

  Here is what I get with SMICng

C:\bwijnen\smicng\work>smicmfm vrr6.mi2
E: f(vrr6.mi2), (655,45) EOF inside a string - check for unmatched quotes
E: f(vrr6.mi2), (659,1) Syntax error
** Unsuccessful parsing file "vrr6.mi2"
** 2 errors and 0 warnings in parsing

After I fix that unmatched double quote I get:
W: f(vrrp.mi2), (17,4) MODULE-IDENTITY vrrpIpv6MIB should have at least one REVI
SION clause
W: f(vrrp.mi2), (376,5) Sequence "VrrpRouterStatsEntry" and Row "vrrpIpv6RouterS
tatsEntry" should have related names
W: f(vrrp.mi2), (136,5) Item "vrrpIpv6OperVrId" is not contained in any group de
fined in the current module
W: f(vrrp.mi2), (637,5) OBJECT-GROUP "vrrpIpv6TrapGroup" is not used in a MODULE
-COMPLIANCE in current module
W: f(vrrp.mi2), (649,5) NOTIFICATION-GROUP "vrrpIpv6NotificationGroup" is not us
ed in a MODULE-COMPLIANCE in current module

So now I did spend a quick half an hour... while I think this is the
sort of things that WG members, doc authors/editors, WG chairs are
supposed to do.

Hope this gives you a flavor of things to check first, please

More on the split of IPv4 and IPv6 later
Thanks,
Bert

hi Bret,
	Thanks for taking time to review the ID. Glad to see=20
	at least one other person reviewing it.

	- We realized the use of old boilerplates. So we
	will be replacing/correcting them in the next revision.
	(I could see a number of format errors too, some due to=20
	the use of word and other due to first time editors..)

	- Surprisingly, I did compile the MIB with smilint.
	I will verify how I could have missed this.
	(I used the validator on simpleweb)

	- On the more important question of having a single MIB vs=20
	MIB for IPv4 and IPv6,=20
	Here are the snippets from my previous mails:

- Two MIB Reasoning:
-VRRP protocol is inherently IP version specific. Though the protocol
seems similar in certain aspects, VRRP for IPv6 is different from VRRP
for IPv4 and hence require two different MIBs.
- We already have a working VRRP IPv4 protocol and a corresponding MIB
definition that is being used by industry.
- It is not necessary to update the VRRP for IPv4 MIB (RFC 2787)=20
to make it IPv6 address aware - according to RFC3291:
=3D=3D=3D=3D
MIB modules which define management information that is=20
specific to particular IP version (either IPv4 or IPv6)
and which is very unlikely to ever be applicable to=20
another IP version do not need to be redefined.
=3D=3D=3D=3D

One MIB arguments:
- With the removal of authentication in VRRP for IPv4, both the=20
protocols are much closer than before (from =
configuration/management/statistics point of view)
- Major difference being "associated IP address" in VRRPv2.=20
- With the changes specified in "draft-ietf-vrrp-spec-v2-09.txt"
we will require to define a new MIB for VRRPv2 any way.

- The present MIB tables are indexed on "interface Index" and "VRID". I =
can=20
see a way to introduce "Version" into the index to identify if the row=20
corresponds to VRRPv2 or VRRPv3 (and hence if it is IPv4 or IPv6). This=20
could be messy but we can come up with a way to define one MIB.


- Putting on a network administrator hat, would you expect statistics=20
(for example Invalid vrID packets received) in one table for both the =
protocols?=20
Or=20
one table with two entries - one for VRRPv2 and the other for VRRPv3?=20
Or
Two separate tables each having statistics for one particular protocol =
version?

Please voice your opinion for and against having two different MIBs and =
the reason(s)
behind your opinion.

Based on your input, we will proceed with the changes to the existing =
draft.

-------- from another earlier mail ------
The bottom line question here is:

Do we envision having managed objects that are VRRP-IP version =
independent?
i.e., at the configuration/monitoring level user/administrator is =
looking at VRRP and not VRRP-IPv4 and VRRP-IPv6?=20

Do we think that one definition of "invalidVRID" (as an example)=20
is good enough to specify invalidVRIDs on both VRRP-IPv4 and VRRP-IPv6=20
protocols in a mixed environment? If we *do not* need the granularity=20
to define per protocol basis, then extending the existing definition=20
to include VRRP-IPv6 is the way to go (and hence have one MIB).

I think that we will require the granularity of configuration objects
at protocol level (to debug misconfigurations for example), Which means
that we need to put in protocol version for all the common objects to=20
distinguish between two protocols.

From the development point of view, I think VRRP-IPv6 will be =
implemented=20
separate from the VRRP-IPv4 implementation, which means that it is =
easier to implement a separate new MIB than to change existing MIB =
implementation=20
(well this is debatable - ..)

----

Please let me know your comments.=20

Thaks.

  at: http://www.ietf.org/IESG/wgchairs.html
  - it has a ptr to ID-NITs (Internet-Draft Requirements)
    that have not been checked on this draft
  - It would be good to add a ptr to mib-review-guidelines
    I will take that as an action point
  - I believe there is a security guidelines too now...

- The ptr to the mib-guidelines has been communicated on the
  wgchairs mailing list (all chairs are on that list) several
  times over the last 6 months. It has also been posted
  to mibs@ops.ietf.org (a generic MIB maling list, I would
  recommend that MIB document editors/authors subscribe to
  it, majordom method). It is also vailable from
  the www.ops.ietf.org web pages, which also has ptrs to
  current MIB boilerplate and MIB security Guidelines.
  The current guidelines are in:=20
     draft-ietf-ops-mib-review-guidelines-02.txt

- Anyways.... overall structure of the MIB is probably OK.
  After a quick scan I just wonder why this is IPv6 specific.
  Why not make the MIB such that it can deal with both IPv4 and
  IPv6... should not be too difficult I think, and it could
  obsolete rfc2787. Maybe some objects need to be deprecated and
  new ones added to advance 2787 to support both IP versions.
  I'd need to check in detail if such is feasable or makes sense.
  Maybe people did evaluate that already... if so, they could
  explain it in the new draft/document. Maybe sect2 is trying to=20
  say that... I need to check deeper to understand if it can be done
  or not.

- From ID-Nits and MIB review guidelines (examples):

  - they are using old (pre-2003) MIB boilerplate
    cuases references to obsolete RFCs
  - they are using pre-2003 MIB security Considerations section
    Also causes refs to obsolete docs.
  - Counter32 objects MUST state which timer object indicates
    discontinuity
  - Read-create tables MUSt specify what the persistency behaviour
    is (eithr in DESCRIPTION clause or by adding StorageType
    object
  - IPR section is missing
  - Missing REVISION clause in MIB Module
  - A MIB module must compile clean.  Here is what I get with smilint

  Here is what I get with SMICng

E: f(vrr6.mi2), (659,1) Syntax error
** Unsuccessful parsing file "vrr6.mi2"
** 2 errors and 0 warnings in parsing

After I fix that unmatched double quote I get:
W: f(vrrp.mi2), (17,4) MODULE-IDENTITY vrrpIpv6MIB should have at least =
one REVI
SION clause
W: f(vrrp.mi2), (376,5) Sequence "VrrpRouterStatsEntry" and Row =

So now I did spend a quick half an hour... while I think this is the
sort of things that WG members, doc authors/editors, WG chairs are
supposed to do.

Hope this gives you a flavor of things to check first, please

More on the split of IPv4 and IPv6 later
Thanks,

I'm not up on modern IPv6. Could we have a review of the problem?
Are you saying that there is no IPv6 equivalent to the unsolicited
ARP that can be used to inform the network that an IPv6 address
has moved to a new MAC? Surely they didn't make that mistake when
we had so much trouble with this issue in IPv4 -- independently
of any VRRP issues -- even though the ARP spec unambiguously
described the correct behavior to make it work.

Anyway, to return to your question, if there's a flaw in IPv6
that makes it difficult to move an v6 address, I'm OK with
continuing the MAC sharing idea. But keep in mind that, so
far as anyone's been able to determine, the 802.x specs simply
do not say what happens when a MAC address physically moves,
so implementations have quite a bit of leeway in exactly what
they do. So if we really think this is how we want to deal with
the problem, we should probably work on getting 802 to define
what correct behavior is when a switch encounters this event.

Don and Mark (and anyone else who finds virtual MACs scary)...

Is there an alternative proposal that would avoid it?

At this point there are two possibilities:

a) someone proposes an alternative that works fine with minimalist
IPv6 nodes as currently specified. If this is the case, then we
can compare it with virtual MACs and the WG can decide which approach
is best

b) we come to the conclusion that no solution exists, given IPv6
neighbor discovery as currently specified.

If what happens is b), then there are two choices:

b1) convince the IPv6 ND working group to modify IPv6 ND

b2) live with virtual MACs.

*******
So what do we believe is the case here?

Radia
