Re: [mif] FW: I-D Action: draft-ietf-mif-mpvd-arch-03.txt

Hi Gang,

for some reason I didn't receive the original email. 

My 2 cents on these questions: PVD architecture, among other things, enables a) consistent use of networking configuration and, in some cases, b) improves selection of the networking configuration. I think 1) below is about selection, while 2) is about consistent use.

For selection, if multiple PVDs advertise the same DNS suffix, there are 2 cases: 1.1 all these PVDs are not trusted, 1.2 some of the PVDs are trusted.
In 1.1, IMO the most reasonable minimal behavior would be to generally ignore the suffix for purposes of the PVD selection, since the information is not trusted. In 1.2, if there is only one such trusted PVD, then this information can be meaningfully used in the PVD selection process. If there is > 1 such trusted PVD, then it is either misconfiguration, or any of these multiple trusted PVDs can be equally used, as far as selection by the suffix is concerned, and other factors (cost, speed etc) may be decisive.

For consistency, I'm not sure I understand the concern: if the specific route happens to be associated with the PVD, which the host already decided to use, then that specific route will affect the route lookup process. If the specific route happens to be in a different PVD, then it will be ignored (same approach as with multiple default routes).

Let me know if this answers your question.

Thank you,
Dmitry

Hello Dmitry,

I posted the questions in other two threads, but didn't get response.
Could you kindly consider following questions into WGLC comments

Is there any conclusion if PVD rules conflict with RFC6731 and RFC4191?

Two particular cases are:

1)  Name resolution

Let's say, host A receives RDNSS Selection DHCPv6 Option with domain
name of example.com on interface 1.
It also receives PVD-ID of example.com on interface 2.

If the host A makes query for a.example.com, which interface should be selected

2) next hop

draft-ietf-mif-mpvd-arch-01 states:

   For each obtained destination
   address, the node shall perform a next-hop lookup among routers,
   associated with that PVD.

BRs

Gang
