I am resending the mail reg. co-existence of temp and normal addresses. Please send me your comments... ~ Vijay -----Original Message----- From: dhcwg-admin@ietf.org [mailto:dhcwg-admin@ietf.org]On Behalf Of Vijay Bhaskar A K Sent: Sunday, February 17, 2002 4:43 PM To: dhcwg@ietf.org Subject: [dhcwg] co-existence of temp and normal addresses Consider the following scenario. A client has 3 normal addresses and 2 temporary addresses in an IA identified by IAID 36. After some time, the client releases all the 3 normal addresses. Now, it needs another 1 temporary address. So, it will send a Request, with IA option having IAID 36, encapsulating RTA option having value 3, indicating it needs an another temporary address. Now, what server assumes is.... - the client is requesting to assign a temporary address. - the client is requesting to asssign normal addresses also. This is because, whenever a Request is sent for IA, the server is going to assign new set of normal addresses to the IA according to its policy, unless or otherwise, the server's database says that the IA has been already populated with addresses. In the later case it assumes to be the retransmission and sends back whatever the normal addresses it has already allocated. Thus, server allocates normal addresses also along with the requested temp address. But, the client didn't have requested for normal addresses. *** Thus the mixture of normal addresses and temp addresses in an IA leads to mislead in the server's side. *** The temporay addresses should not be renewed. In the renew message, the IA should not carry temporary address. This means, eventhough the temporary addresses lies in the same IA along with the other normal addresses, they are treated as seperate set of addresses in the case of renewal. Considering the above two points, i have few suggestions. - Why can't we have separate IAs for normal and temporary addresses? - The IAIDs for temporary addresses range from 0-1023 and that of normal addresses range from 1024 onwards. This is to avoid the overlapping of IAID space. - Since, T1 and T2 values for the IA containing only temporary addresses make no sense, i feel that we can have seperate TMP_IA option which doesn't have T1 and T2 fields, as shown below. 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | OPTION_TMP_IA | option-len | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | IAID (4 octets) | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | IA Status | | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | .

It ranges from 0-1023 IA status Status of the IA in this option. options Options associated with this IA. - T bit in the address status of IA address option is also not necessary since we are having seperate IAs for temp addresses. Please let me know your comments. ~Vijay _______________________________________________ dhcwg mailing list dhcwg@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dhcwg _______________________________________________ dhcwg mailing list dhcwg@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dhcwg
