Re: [netext] [Fwd: I-D Action: draft-ietf-netext-pmipv6-flowmob-09.txt]

Hi Pierrick,

After the NETEXT meeting in London, we had some offline discussions with Rajiv and folks. There is agreement to use the RFC-7077 (UPN) messaging format for FMI/FMA. So, the Flow Mobility spec may refer to this message as FMI/FMA, but the underneath messaging format will confirm to RFC-7077 format and will have references to RFC-7077. We are not going to define a new MH message. This closes the key issue of using two notification approaches in the same spec. AFAIK, no one has any objection to this. If any does, its now time to speak up :)

Regards
Sri

Hi Hidetoshi/all,

Release -08 mandates RFC7077 and the doc was good, IMHO. But, in London, we have decided (group consensus) to reintroduce FMI/FMA to avoid dependency between RFC. Now, it’s true that introducing 2 options for message format makes the solution more complex for little added-value (no major differences between messages)… So, maybe the question is “is it good or bad to have RFC dependency?” then update the draft according the answer...

Hello Carlos,

Thanks for updating the draft.
I have a couple of questions and comments:

o In Section 3.2.1, which is the shared prefix case, there is no message exchange between the LMA and MAG, so there is no flow information on the MAG side. It should work in the sense of routing, but if, for example, each flow has a specific QoS, the MAG should also need to know which flow should go on which QoS path especially for upstream traffic towards the LMA. Or, the MAG may want to send a trigger for flow mobility to the MN (the exact mechanism is out of scope).  Some mobility signaling should be there, too.

o In Section 3.3, FMI/FMA are revived considering the case where UPN is not supported, but they convey very little information. There is no special information that cannot be conveyed by the existing messages. Since RFC7077 is now a proposed standard, I cannot think of a situation where the UPN/UPA are not supported, nevertheless FMI/FMA are supported. It rather seems more natural to mandate the support of RFC7077 or to mandate FMI/FMA for all flow mobility operations.
Also, when compared with UPN/UPA case in Figure 4, FMI/FMA seem to convey different set of parameters in Figure 7. Could you clarify it a little bit more please?

o In Section 3.3, just above Figure 7, there is a description: "..., and the type of flow mobility operation (add flow)", but does RFC6089 define such an operation code? This kind of operation should also be defined in the draft.

Regards,

Hi,

As agreed in London, I've updated the flow mobility draft to include

also the FMI/FMA signaling option (in addition to the use of Update

Notifications). The draft also includes a mechanism to allow selecting

which one of the two signaling mechanisms to use.

In my personal opinion, it'd be much cleaner and simpler to just specify

one signaling mechanism, but this is up to the WG to decide.

Comments, reviews and discussion on this new revision would be welcome.

Hopefully we could get at least a new revision before Toronto.

Thanks,

Carlos
