Re: [ANCP] Question about the Tech Type in draft-ietf-ancp-protocol-05

[Fortune HUANG <[e-mail]>]

Hi all,
 
Given no further response on this thread, I assume almost none of the people
in the ANCP mailing list knows what those technologies indicated by Tech
Type values of 0x01~0x04 are. 
 
If Sanjay was right that the Tech Type would a new IANA registry, then
according to the charter of ANCP WG, only the DSL and PON (newly added)
technologies should be defined and maybe we should withdraw the allocation
of 0x01~0x04. 
 
But since PON is now in the charter, we should anyway allocate a Tech Type
value for PON. 
 
 
Best Regards,
Fortune

Hi Sanjay,
 
Thank you very much for your answer.
 
But in the text in section 5.4.1.1 as follows, if the tech type is new
registry, then what types of technologies are the 0x01 ~ 0x04 indicates
respectively? I think they should be clearly specified, although I guess
they might be 0x01 for 802.3, 0x02 for 802.11a/b/g, 0x03 for 802.163, 0x04
for 802.16m. Is it correct?
 
"Tech Type
 
         An 8-bit field indicating the applicable technology type value.
         The Message Type plus the Tech Value uniquely define a single
         Extension Type and can be treated as a single 16 bit extension
         type.  "Tech Type" value of 0x05 SHOULD be used by ANCP for DSL
         technology.
 
            0x00 Extension block not in use.
 
            0x01 - 0x04 Already in use by various technologies
 
            0x05 DSL
 
            0x06 - 0xFE Reserved
 
            0xFF Base Specification Use
"

Hi Fortune

The intent is to define an ANCP specific tech-type registry, and not take
what MIP/PMIP uses as per your reference below.

Subject: [ANCP] Question about the Tech Type in draft-ietf-ancp-protocol-05

 

Hi all,

 

I have a question about the Tech Type in ANCP protocol for clarification.

 

It says "Tech Type" value of 0x05 SHOULD be used by ANCP for DSL technology
in section 5.4.1.1 of draft-ietf-ancp-protocol-05.

 

I can find two related technology type registries at the website
http://www.iana.org/protocols/ as follows, but the 0x05 has been allocated
in both registries. Is the first registry with the name Access Technology
Types the right registry for the Tech Type in ANCP protocol, please? If it
is, I propose we change the 0x05 for DSL in section 5.4.1.1 to be 0x09 or
"to be allocated by IANA"  in order to avoid incorrect implementation.
