[icnrg] Review and update of draft-rahman-icnrg-deployment-guidelines

["Rahman, Akbar" <[e-mail]>]

Hi Prakash & Chairs,


We have updated our draft to address the comments from Prakish and some of his other colleagues at Cisco (who gave us some more off-line comments):

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-rahman-icnrg-deployment-guidelines-04


Here is the specific list of changes we made:

1.      Clarified that ICN can be run on many types of networks (access, transport, edge processing, CDN, core, data center, etc.) though in the main discussion text we just stuck to access network, core network and CDNs for simplicity

2.      Changed “wholesale replacement” to the more commonly used “clean-slate”, and clarified that it involves changes to existing applications, protocol stacks, etc. in addition to changes to IP routing

3.      Clarified interaction between normal IP routing running in the Internet and ICN based routing in (1) ICN-as-an-Overlay, and (2) ICN-as-an-Underlay

4.      Added references to ONAP.org which does MANO support for ICN-as-a-Slice

5.      Added more details about Cisco’s Hybrid-ICN approach, including reference to their open source Cicn project, and expected trials

6.      Clarified the main stakeholders in ICN deployments (included adding end device manufacturer and user)

7.      Clarified details of NDN testbed


We look forward to presenting and discussing more in Singapore.


Best Regards,


Akbar

Hi Prakash,


Thank you very much for your detailed comments.  I will review them with the rest of the authors and also take up your kind offer to discuss with you off line.  We will plan to update our draft before Singapore to address your comments.


Best Regards,


Akbar

Hi Akbar,
Greeting.
I have reviewed https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-rahman-icnrg-deployment-guidelines-03 and I have following comments for enhancement of document.

Section 3.1 –
Paragraph specifies that ICN deployment might be clean-slate replacing large part of network, however considering practical network limitations we should propose ICN deployments as different options.
1.      Clean slate or Native ICN
2.      Dual stack (IPoICN, ICNoIP)
3.      Hybrid (ICN packets encoded inside existing IP ) e.g. hICN proposed by Cisco
4.      Any future technologies..

Can we also refer to dis-aggregations of hardware and software using white boxes that provides a mechanism to tightly integrate ICN protocol inside routing platforms? You can refer to http://www.fiercetelecom.com/telecom/at-t-s-white-box-trial-signals-disaggregated-platform-movement-driving-service-agility

Section 3.4
ICN provides a mechanism to be offered as slice i.e. “ICN-as-a-Slice” in existing IP infrastructure. “ICN-as-a-Slice” can be created using “cross-domain orchestrator”. Cross-domain orchestrator shall be capable of creating resources at service edge, transport (edge and core), applications platforms by automating whole life cycle.  You can also provide reference to Linux foundation OANP for cross-domain orchestrator.

For Hybrid ICN kindly refer to https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/solutions/collateral/service-provider/ultra-services-platform/mwc17-hicn-video-wp.pdf). Hybrid ICN (aka hICN) provides mechanism to carry ICN packet information as a payload inside IP datagram.

Section 3.3.2 Edge Network Migration
Para-1: One of my suggestions is to rename “Edge Network” to “Service Edge”. Most of services will be hosted at the edge in MEC, and you can suggest to use any of ICN deployment scenarios (refer sec 3.1).

Para-2: For mobile networks, ICN protocol stack can be integrated in eNodeB. You can refer to our draft draft-suthar-icnrg-icn-lte-4g-03. Section 4.5 provides different mechanisms “ICN deployment in eNodeB”.

Section 4 - Deployment Migration Paths
We should put 4th stake holder as UE or end user because they should be able to indicate how they want to consume content by indicating preference such as IP, ICN or don’t care. In draft-suthar-icnrg-icn-lte-4g-03 section 4.4.1 we have provided options by introducing “transport convergence layer” which can be used to indicate user’s choice.


Section 5.1
Do you want to mention hICN work done by Cisco where we are able to show performance efficiencies using hICN over IP based network? We have released community ICN at fd.io https://wiki.fd.io/view/Cicn

Any deployment or testbed reference to scalable Name resolution and NSLR will be helpful. My colleague Anil has done testing at scale for NSLR and you can cite reference.

Section 7
Para-1: Update with hICN.

   I checked the minutes and it isn’t clear who the second volunteer was.
   Hannu, did you volunteer to review the -03 version?
