Re: [CCAMP] Still have issues in WSON Processing HOP Attribute Encoding in draft-ietf-ccamp-wson-signaling-08

[Lou Berger <[e-mail]>]

Young/Authors/WG

I've done a fairly significant revision of section 4.2-4.4 to align the
text with my understanding of the discussion. No additional technical
changes are intended. The text should now use [RSVP-RO] to carry the
information from those sections. I did the change by editing the most
recently published rev (-08). I'll send the authors document versions.
Here's what wdiff says the changes are. Given their scope, I'd be amazed
if I didn't miss something.

Drop me a note if you want a copy of what I send the Authors. (Authors,
please send comments in response to *this* message and not the off-list
message.)

Section 4., paragraph 12:
OLD:

    The WSON Processing HOP Attribute TLV is a type of a HOP Attributes
    TLV, as defined in [RSVP-RO]. If a receiving node does not recognize
    a sub-TLV, it will follow the procedure defined in [RFC5420], i.e.,
    it MUST generate a PathErr with a new error value of the existing
    Error Code "Unknown Attributes TLV (Sub-codes - 29)".

Section 4., paragraph 15:
OLD:

    The format of the ResourceBlockInfo sub-TLV value field is defined
    in Section 4 of [WSON-Encode].

NEW:

          Indicates the total length of the sub-TLV in octets.  That is, the
          combined length of the Type, Length, and Value fields, i.e.,
          four plus the length of the Value field in octets.


Section 4., paragraph 16:
OLD:

      Type        Sub-TLV Name

NEW:

          The entire sub-TLV MUST be padded with zeros to ensure four-octet

     4.2.1. ResourceBlockInfo Sub-TLV
 
    The format of the ResourceBlockInfo sub-TLV value field is defined
    in Section 4 of [WSON-Encode]. It a list of available Optical Interface Classes and
    processing capabilities.


Section 4., paragraph 18:
OLD:

    At least one ResourceBlockInfo sub-TLV MUST be present in the
    WSON_Processing HOP Attribute TLV. At most two ResourceBlockInfo
    sub-TLVs MAY be present in the WSON_Processing HOP Attribute TLV. If
    more than two sub-TLVs are encountered, the first two MUST be
    processed and the rest SHOULD be ignored.

NEW:

    At least one ResourceBlockInfo sub-TLV MUST be present in the
    WSON_Processing HOP Attribute TLV. No more than two
    ResourceBlockInfo sub-TLVs SHOULD be present. Any present
    ResourceBlockInfo sub-TLVs MUST be processed in the order received,
    and extra (unprocessed) SHOULD be ignored.


Section 4., paragraph 19:
OLD:

    The <ResourceBlockInfo> contains several information as defined by
    [WSON-Encode]. The following processing rules apply to the sub-TLV:

NEW:

    The ResourceBlockInfo field contains several information elements as defined by
    [WSON-Encode]. The following rules apply to the sub-TLV:


Section 4., paragraph 20:
OLD:

    RB Set Field MAY contain more than one RB Identifier. Only the first
    of which MUST be processed, the others SHOULD be ignored.

NEW:

    o  RB Set Field can carry one or more RB Identifier. Only the first
       of RB Identifier listed in the RB Set Field SHALL be processed,
       any others SHOULD be ignored.


Section 4., paragraph 21:
OLD:

    In case of signalin a unidirectional LSP, only one ResourceBlockInfo
    sub-TLV MUST be processed and I/O bits can be safely ignored.

NEW:

    o  In the case of unidirectional LSPs, only one ResourceBlockInfo
       sub-TLV SHALL be processed and the I and O bits can be safely ignored.


Section 4., paragraph 22:
OLD:

    In case of signaling a bidirectional LSP: if only one
    ResourceBlockInfo is included, bits I and O MUST be both set to 1,
    if two ResourceBlockInfo sub-TLVs are included, bits I and O MUST
    have different values, i.e., only one bit can be set in each
    ResourceBlockInfo sub-TLV. Any violation of these detected by a
    transit or egress node will incur a processing error and SHOULD NOT
    trigger any RSVP message but can be logged locally, and perhaps
    reported through network management mechanisms.

NEW:

    o  In the case of a bidirectional LSP, there MUST either be either:
      (a) only one
  ResourceBlockInfo sub-TLV present in a WSON_Processing
          HOP Attribute TLV, and the bits I and O both set to 1, or
      (b) two ResourceBlockInfo sub-TLVs present, one of which has only the I
          bit set and the other of which has only the O bit set.


Section 4., paragraph 23:
OLD:

    The rest of information available within ResourceBlockInfo sub-TLV
    is Optical Interface Class List, Input Bit Rate List and Processing
    Capability List. These lists MAY contain one or more elements. The
    usage of WSON Processing HOP Attribute TLV for the bidirectional
    case is the same as per unidirectional. When an intermediate node
    uses information from this TLV to instruct a node about wavelength
    regeneration, the same information applies to both downstream and
    upstream directions.

NEW:

    o  The rest of information carried within the ResourceBlockInfo sub-TLV
       includes Optical Interface Class List, Input Bit Rate List and
       Processing Capability List. These lists MAY contain one or more
       elements. These elements apply equally to both bidirectional
       and unidirectional LSPs.


Section 4., paragraph 24:
OLD:

    This sub-TLV is constructed by an ingress node and the processing is
    applied to all nodes (transit and egress) whose R bit is set in the
    ERO HOP ATTRIBUTE subobject according to [RSVP-RO]. When the R bit
    is set, a node MUST examine the ResourceBlockInfo sub-TLV present in
    the subobject following the rule described in [RFC5420].

NEW:

  


Section 4., paragraph 25:
OLD:

    If a node processing an ERO HOP ATTRIBUTE subobject with WSON
    Processing HOP Attributes TLV (which may include the
    ResourceBlockInfo sub-TLVs) longer than the ERO subobject SHOULD
    return a PathErr with an error code "Routing Error" and error value
    "Bad EXPLICT_ROUTE object" with the EXPLICIT_ROUTE object included
    as defined in [RSVP-RO] Section 3.3.

NEW:

    Any violation of these rules detected by a transit or egress node
    SHALL be treated as an error and be processed per [RSVP-RO].


Section 4., paragraph 26:
OLD:

    Once a node properly parsed the Sub-TLV, the node applies the
    selected regeneration pool (at that hop) for the LSP. In addition,
    the node SHOULD report compliance by adding a RRO_HOP_ATTRIBUTE
    subobject with the WSON Processing HOP Attribute TLV (and its sub-
    TLVs) which describes the attributes to be reported.

NEW:

    A ResourceBlockInfo sub-TLV can be constructed by a node and added
    to a ERO_HOP_ATTRIBUTE subobject in order to be processed by
    downstream nodes (transit and egress). As defined in [RSVP-RO], the
    R bit reflects the LSP_REQUIRED_ATTRIBUTE and LSP_ATTRIBUTE semantic
    defined in [RFC5420] and SHOULD be set accordingly.


Section 4., paragraph 27:
OLD:

     4.4. Wavelength Selection Sub-TLV

NEW:

    Once a node properly parses a ResourceBlockInfo Sub-TLV received in
    an ERO_HOP_ATTRIBUTE subobject (according to the rules stated above
    and in [RSVP-RO]), the node allocates the indicated resources, e.g.,
    the selected regeneration pool, for the LSP. In addition, the node
    SHOULD report compliance by adding a RRO_HOP_ATTRIBUTE subobject
    with the WSON Processing HOP Attribute TLV (and its sub-
    TLVs)indicating the utilized resources. ResourceBlockInfo Sub-TLVs
    carried in a RRO_HOP_ATTRIBUTE subobject are subject to [RSVP-RO]
    and standard RRO processing, see [RFC3209].
 
     4.2.2. WavelengthSelection Sub-TLV


Section 4., paragraph 29:
OLD:

    Under this hypothesis, the node initiating the signaling process
    needs to declare its own wavelength availability (through a
    label_set object). Each intermediate node may delete some labels due
    to connectivity constraints or its own assignment policy. At the
    end, the destination node has to make the final decision on the
    wavelength assignment among the ones received through the signaling
    process.
 
    As discussed in [HZang00], a number of different wavelength
    assignment algorithms may be employed. In addition as discussed in
    [RFC6163] the wavelength assignment can be either for a
    unidirectional lightpath or for a bidirectional lightpath
    constrained to use the same lambda in both directions.

    constrained to use the same lambda in both directions.


Section 4., paragraph 30:
OLD:

    In order to indicate wavelength assignment directionality and
    wavelength assignment method, a new Wavelength Selection, or
    WavelengthSelection, sub-TLV is defined to be carried in the WSON
    Processing HOP Attribute TLV defined in Section 4.2 of this draft.

Section 3, paragraph 6:
OLD:

    This sub-TLV is constructed by an ingress node and the processing is
    applied to all nodes (transit and egress) whose R bit is set in the
    ERO HOP ATTRIBUTE subobject according to [RSVP-RO]. When the R bit
    is set, a node MUST examine the WavelengthSelection sub-TLV present
    in the subobject following the rule described in [RFC5420].
 
    If a node processing an ERO HOP ATTRIBUTE subobject with WSON
    Processing HOP Attributes TLV (which may include the
    WavelengthSelection sub-TLVs) longer than the ERO subobject SHOULD
    return a PathErr with an error code "Routing Error" and error value
    "Bad EXPLICT_ROUTE object" with the EXPLICIT_ROUTE object included
    as defined in [RSVP-RO] Section 3.3.

NEW:

    A WavelengthSelection sub-TLV can be constructed by a node and added
    to a ERO_HOP_ATTRIBUTE subobject in order to be processed by downstream
    nodes (transit and egress). As defined in [RSVP-RO], the R bit reflects
    the LSP_REQUIRED_ATTRIBUTE and LSP_ATTRIBUTE semantic defined in
    [RFC5420] and SHOULD be set accordingly.


Section 3, paragraph 7:
OLD:

    Once a node properly parsed the Sub-TLV, the node applies wavelength
    assignment method (at that hop) for the LSP. In addition, the node
    SHOULD report compliance by adding a RRO_HOP_ATTRIBUTE subobject
    with the WSON Processing HOP Attribute TLV (and its sub-TLVs) which
    describes the attributes to be reported.
