BTW - I think I may have indicated this before, but does this really avoid the need for configuration on the router (relay)? How are items such as the link-address and next hop (dhcp server) addresses configured (rfc 3315 has a multicast default)? So there is still a bunch of "manual" configuration required? Admittedly you do say "more automation" but not really sure that has a lot of value - perhaps we need a Dynamic Router Configuration BOF?

Hi Roberta,

Yes, as indicated in the document, manual configuration is an option… but it has its limits too.

This proposal is a contribution to add more automation to network configuration without requiring an additional dynamic protocol to drive how aggregates are built in a router co-located with a requestor, and therefore interact in a more dynamic fashion with a routing protocol (e.g., drive route withdrawals, etc.).

Of course, some routers can offer some features to optimize the size of routing tables and prevent from injecting (very) specific entries. But still this behavior is implementation-specific and does not provide the same aggregation level as the one proposed in this document.

Unlike implementation-specific behaviors, this proposal is deterministic since it is fully controlled by the entity which has the full knowledge of prefix related states and network policies: e.g., the server has the knowledge of prefix assignment, prefix assignment policies, prefix aggregates, etc.

I confirm this option is not a per-customer configuration parameter.

Cheers,
Med

Hello,

Maybe I’m missing something here, but I’m struggling to see the value added by this new option in terms of route aggregation functionality.

Today with IPv4 if I need to summarize some routes I manually configure on the router a summary/aggregate route and I announce it into the routing protocol. Moving to IPv6 you could do the same thing, I don’t quite get what’s wrong with that?

You say you would like to have an automatic way to tell the PE to aggregate the routes, but if I understand correctly the proposal what you are doing here is only moving the configuration of the summary route from the PE to the DHCPv6 Server; what do you really save here?

In addition the route aggregation is not a per customer configuration, it would be per box or per service configuration so why do you want to add it to customers’ profile in DCHPv6 Server?

Thanks

Roberta

Re-,

IMHO, draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-agentopt-delegate does not cover the same objectives as in draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-prefix-pool-opt.

draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-prefix-pool-opt aims to provide a dynamic means to trigger route advertisement actions and to control the route aggregates to be injected using a routing protocol. For example, a router can be told by the DHCP server to advertise an aggregate even if not all individual prefixes are assigned to customer located behind that router. This is a measure that can help in optimizing routing tables and avoid injecting very specific routes. Snooping the assignment and then guide the route advertisement actions may not be lead to the same optimized routing tables, because there will be "holes" that will prevent aggregating routes.

Having an explicit channel like the one specified in draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-prefix-pool-opt is superior IMHO.

Cheers,
Med
