Hi Cheng,






I don't really understand your concern.


ICMPv6 is a mature protocol mechanism, and IOAM function is limited in a trusted domain, then using ICMPv6 to discover IOAM capabilities wouldn't introduce any big challenge on security and privacy.


I don't think IGP is better than ICMPv6 in this case. Firstly, flooding IOAM capabilities throughout the IGP domain is too heavy and unnecessary in my view. Secondly, IGP domain and IOAM domain don't always have the same coverage, one example is that when the IOAM encapsulating node is a host IGP flooding doesn't work for it.






Best Regards,


Xiao Min

I meantI don’t think we can detect the (Non Routing ) capabilities of a node in another domain. Sorry for the typo.

Hi Min,


 


That is also my understanding. IOAM is limited in a trusted domain.


 


But ICMP can be used in the global Internet? I don’t think we can detect the capabilities of a node in another node. Privacy and security will be a big challenge.


 


So personally I prefer IGP/BGP/BGP-LS or NETCONF/YANG way.


 


Thanks,


Cheng

Hello Cheng,

 

I noticed that Frank has submitted an In-situ OAM deployment draft within OPSAWG, in section 3 of that draft it says:

"

IOAM is a network domain specific feature, with "network domain"   being a set of network devices or entities within a single   administration.  IOAM is not targeted for a deployment on the global   Internet.  The part of the network which employs IOAM is referred to   as the "IOAM-Domain"."

To my understanding, the IOAM data is collected only within a trusted domain, of course, Frank can correct me if I'm wrong.

For your convenience, the link for this quoted draft is provided as below.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-brockners-opsawg-ioam-deployment

 

Best Regards,

Xiao Min

I have one simple question like I mentioned in the meeting: Is it secure to discover the non-routing capabilities info from the data plane?


 


For instance, a packet may travel several network domains, and the trusted scope is only within each domain. When we use ICMP Ping, we can get the non-routing
 info from other domains. Is it OK to do it?  I think we should consider more about security and privacy.


 


Furthermore, can we collect the IOAM data in multiple domain scenarios? Or only within a trusted domain?


 


Thanks,


Cheng

Hello IPPM,


 


per what I mentioned during the IPPM WG meeting today, I don’t think we should adopt the document before we have a couple of key questions resolved:


 


* Why can’t we use Netconf/YANG (with the existing capabilities discovery process – a la RFC 6241) to retrieve the IOAM capabilities of IOAM nodes? E.g. the encapsulating node (as
 a NC client) could retrieve the IOAM capabilities from other IOAM nodes  (acting as a NC server). Plus there is already a YANG model in flight for IOAM (draft-zhou-ippm-ioam-yang-08). At a minimum I would have expected that the draft discusses why NC/YANG
 is not suitable for the scenario that the authors have in mind. The slides (https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/109/materials/slides-109-ippm-echo-requestreply-for-enabled-ioam-capabilities-00)
 that were presented in the IPPM WG meeting today, mention “Changed from “IOAM Configuration Data” to “Enabled IOAM Capabilities” since the former is too associated with NETCONF/YANG.” IMHO we need a bit more than just wordsmithing.


 


* While the draft uses IOAM capabilities discovery as the use-case, in more general terms, it proposes to add management/ops capabilities to echo-request/reply protocols like ICMP,
 which is a much broader topic. The TLV structures which are proposed to be added to echo-requests and echo-replies could obviously be leveraged for other use-cases. Does the work really fit the scope of the IPPM WG?


 


Thanks, Frank

Hello IPPM,




This email starts a Working Group call for adoption for draft-xiao-ippm-ioam-conf-state. This document has been presented several times and discussed within the working group in the context of our overall IOAM work.

The document can be found here:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-xiao-ippm-ioam-conf-state-07

Please provide your feedback on these document, and state whether or not you believe the IPPM WG should adopt this work by replying to this email. Please provide your feedback by the start of the IETF 109 meeting week, on Monday, November 16.

Best,
Tommy & Ian
