Folks, Attached are the minutes. Please review for correctness *before* end of this week. Yakov. ------------------------------------------------------------------- IDR WG notes 2005.08.04 -DWard ------------------------- Doc status see ppt Danny McPherson to finish Confed implementation report in one month Geoff Houston to complete 4-octet AS number space New MIB editor see draft ------------------------- Li AS Hop count Attribute see ppt for info Essence: Add TTL to each prefix, decrement at AS boundary Drop route when TTL hits zero Transitive attribute Alt: Distribution Lists List contains ASs that can rx and cannot exclusion NOTE: NO_EXPORT and AS_HOPCOUNT can be combined Houston: is NO_EXPORT dropped or continued when combined? NOTE: Can scope 'anycast' Houston: when aspath prepending, is that expressed in the HOP_COUNT? Li: Decremented by one always Hares: Two more ASPATHS per route? How does scaling work? Li: In the worst case, when setting up a list you can have an arbitrary number in incl or excl list? Hares: Is order semantics true but, Rekhter: An ASPATH cannot carry all AS in the internet as not enough space Li: An avg ASPATH has ~4 AS' in it so, we are going to have on avg roughly two X Hares: Why do you say proxy usage is diffficult in Dist List case? TTL is lighter but, why choose between two? Might have both. Li: From an implementors POV, it is easier to do one and not two Rekhter: The increase in number of AS' per route is not a practical issue Houston: At the edge, it may work but, topology is dense and we nee Jason Schiller (UUNET): Scope - useful in subconfeds ... need a separate counter? Li: Want to see draft first. Technically what is required is a separate attribute but, look almost identical Houston: When comparing the two mechanisms need to look at "what is going on." Distribution lists require complete knowledge of topology. Problem is that you cannot insure that they do not leak. HOPCOUNT does not have 'knowledge' problem but, focuses on accuracy. Hares: Inclusion requires enumeration but exclusion does not Houston: HOPCOUNT allows more specifics w/ a boundary. Advocates HOPCOUNT Roque: No productive compare the two. Want to select upstream provider w/ targeted ext comms. HOPCOUNT might prevent this technique. Most common TE technique; customers preferring transit AS' per prefix. Not applicable for transit exit scenario. Two issues and solutions are orthogonal but, neither solution is devalued. Chris Morrow (UUNET): proxy means "I can add" and/or "I can delete" Li: Yes and not violate Chris; Will it get used if provider ignores or removes Rekhter: Who is entity that benefits from this? Which SP. Li: Table size reduction is goal. One SP adds does the work but, gets no benefits. Altruism or hope of it is a good reason. Houston: Zhang drafts in GROW show that altruism is bunk instead self-interest. Most UPDATEs come from lower tier points. Most computation happens at lower level of peering .. therefore, small folks get most thrash. If "I" do this, I help my problem ... therefore altruism is there for the folks that use it and tag it. David Ward: Affect Hop count? Li: Not significantly as it would be longer prefixes. Enke: Can we inject an AS numer as 'signature' of who adds attribute? May be added to draft. No comments ------------------------- Zhang Renhai Entire Route Reflect Comments held until after Walton's draft see ppt for info ------------------------- Walton Add Paths Alvaro Retana (Cisco) presenter. see ppt for info NOTE: RFC 3107 must be updated ------------------------- Walton Oscillation Stop Alvaro Retana (Cisco) presenter info in same ppt as "Add Paths" Swallow: What is frequency of oscillation? Retana: dependent on update timer setting (MIN ADVERT INTERVAL) Combined questions for both draft authors: Danny (unaffiliated) - We are increasing and decreasing table size. Walton's draft is more general and flexible then Zhang's. Retana: Most of increase of table size is internal to an AS (almost all) zhang: I don't understand question. Zhang: Walton's draft is more general. Because you add attribute, do you think that efficiency of packing will be affected? Retana: NLRI will be bigger but, no impact on packing. Gargi (Cisco): Zhang's draft - must specify that you explicitly WD when a nexthop changes or how to announce new NH? How do you delete the first NH? Zhang: If NH changes, just add it. To solve the problem there will taken offline to email. Paul ??: If in ECMP case, what AS sequence? How to pass multiple paths to a legacy speaker? Retana: Cap advert defines who can learn add_path. Other applications like EBGP ECMP and propagating multiple paths will have to be addressed. Retana: Constrained scope. Roque: Although you say impact of deployment is localized. We need a better understanding of what impact will be. For each route prefix, path attrs in Adj RIB Out. Generally announcement, is only when Adj-RIB-Out changes. What is expectation of propagating changes when inbound updates would cause outbound content. What are consequences? Size of Adj-RIB-Out? What is key of Adj-RIB-Out? etc. Retana: Spec says send on path. Change is that we would have tracking of two or more paths. Rekhter: We can have as many ad hoc solutions as we want or a more general solution. We as a group should decide on a more general solution. We should look at potential new functionality once we have more than one path being advertised. Suggestion is that the authors of three proposals should find common solution to all problems that WG would like to address. A mailing list will be set up to discuss this problem and solution. On the IDR mailing list please identify problems. Rekhter: Do we need requirements document? Ward: No, absolutely not. ------------------------- Dubois PM Reqmts see ppt for info Rekhter: Send note to list on whether or not we should take as a WG doc. Dubois: Earlier solution was not meeting requirements and there are many possible solutions. We need a solution that fits the requirements; we are not encouraging one solution over another: Ted Seely (Sprint): Why not weight traffic away from peer or interface? There are other techniques that don't require change to protocol. Ruediger Volk: I lose traffic when I do this technique. Ruediger: The convergence problem I see is due to the previous issue of config change. Jason Schiller (UUNET): Is there a hard requirement that this does not require a config change ... taken to the list. ------------------------- Hares Dynamic Confed AS Not requested to be WG item. see ppt for info Roque: I would assume that you would want to do restoration in a seamless way. What is motivation to make failure restoration a visible outside the confederation? SKH: Goal is to not drop the peering session. Therefore, the purpose is policy rerouting wants to 'hang by itself.' If I drop out of the AS confed, I would have had to drop the session. Roque: Why not just tunnel back? SKH: No IGP connectivity and tunnels ran into problems. SKH: will send scenarios to list Chandra Appanna (Cisco): I think you need a few more failsafes. Resend is a MUST, and some mechanisms is nec. that moved did not suddenly change. Need to resend routes due to policy change potential. SKH: We have added failsafe. We delayed resend, it would be abnormal to send all routes if nothing changed. Will send scenario in email. Gargi (Cisco): Are there any mechanisms in mind for NO resend if ones moves from one confed to another? ------------------------- Multisession update - Chandra Appanna See ppt for info Added flexibility for any capability code to cause/create multiple sessions No comments ------------------------- Kapoor SSA - Gargi, Scott Wainner see ppt for info ------------------------- Kapoor Tunnel SAFI combined w/ SSA preso, same ppt Gargi did technical side and changes to docs: more TLVs to express encap: MPLS, IPsec, GRE in IPsec, L2TPv3 in IPsec added application scenarios: MPLS over IP tunnels Scott presented motivations Combined comments: SKH: Can you explain status of this mechanism w/in each of these groups (on referenced drafts)? What is approved, required, etc. We need to see something from those chairs that the ref'ed drafts are "blessed." Scott: Walked through Gargi: We have chicken and egg to get this done. Encoding first or formats first? Intro work on L3VPN list. Rekhter: Very reasonable model where must have both WGs review dependent docs. Bill Fenner: Must work w/ other WG for encoding. Rekhter: Two possible models - first: semantics or encoding need to be done in L3VPN second: L2/L3VPN WGs tell us semantics and IDR produces codepoints Rahul: C/E problem wasn't problem in the past but, applicability. Applicability has been cleared up. Now that motivations are clear, the multiple proposal should be conjoined. Do work wherever ADs state Roque: Disagree w/ motivations. IGP can provide reachability. I think you use BGP as signaling protocol which is not a problem. But, presentation states that BGP needs to know this information. Please clarify the layering split. Rekhter: Can this move to L3VPN SOLUTION: Joint Last Call in IDR and L3VPN. ------------------------- SAFI Space Partition In reply to Jeff Hass email on list. Fenner to send notes on how to alloc SAFI space. Proposal: take private use space and turn it into reserved and perhaps 16 or so as private use. Reserved is reserved so we can decide later on FCFS or otherwise managed. Are folks using private space? Do we need to skip some? Rekhter: How long will it take to use up first come first served? Fenner: We should be able to straighten this out quickly and IANA is keeping up. 30 days deadline. Danny McPherson: Needs to be uniform across all WGs and Areas. Make it IETF aligned. Roque: I do not want to see vendor specific space go away altogether. There is much more usage than one case alluded to. Today is only practical alternative, cannot be locked out. Can it be shown to work before we assume 30 days? Fenner: There are publications on these agreements and promises that it will be done in 30 days. FCFS is you get it now .... no draft, no wait. Chandra; Cannot get rid of vendor space. AF/SAFI has lost meaning and is a way to differentiate addrs between two peers. Just need opaque space that we can use between two peers. Gargi: Must have vendor space perhaps reduced is ok. Second, IANA is faster but, it seems to required Routing ADs having lunch w/ IANA. Rekhter: IANA must have strict 30 days max as rule. Fenner: We are working on this and the stats show that 30 days is being met. _______________________________________________ Idr mailing list Idr@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/idr
