Hi Phil I am not in favour of using the token bucket as the only metering function that can be used in PCN! Regarding the comparison, I think that if you want to base any decission on it, then the LC-PCN algorithm should also be included in this comparison! Best regards, Georgios _____ From: pcn-bounces@ietf.org [mailto:pcn-bounces@ietf.org] On Behalf Of philip.eardley@bt.com Sent: woensdag 27 februari 2008 14:13 To: pcn@ietf.org Subject: [PCN] PCN termination marking algorithm - consensus? Here also is an attempt for consensus on the termination marking behaviour. If an interface of the PCN-domain performs PCN Admission Marking then it performs three functions, which are outlined in draft-ietf-pcn-architecture as follows: o Packet classify - decide whether an incoming packet is a PCN- packet or not. Another PCN WG document will specify encoding, using the DSCP and/or ECN fields. o PCN-meter - measure the 'amount of PCN-traffic'. The measurement is made as an aggregate of all PCN-packets, and not per flow. o PCN-mark - algorithms determine whether to PCN-mark PCN-packets and what packet encoding is used (as specified in another PCN WG document). These functions are now described in more detail. Note: The PCN-node MAY implement these three functions on either its ingoing or outgoing interfaces. The same choice MUST be made for every PCN-node in one PCN-domain. [Lars has commented: do we need to allow this choice?] Classify function: If a packet's ECN/DSCP fields have the value PCN, as defined in [RFC-encoding], then it MUST be classified as a PCN-packet. However, if the PCN-packet is already "termination marked", as defined in [RFC-encoding], then the Meter function SHOULD NOT be performed. (*) If a packet's ECN/DSCP fields do not have the value PCN, as defined in [RFC-encoding], then it MUST NOT be classified as a PCN-packet. Meter function: Note: The meter is described as a 'token bucket', however the implementation is not standardised. A packet classified as a PCN-packet MUST be metered as follows. The interface MUST have: [1] a configured bit rate, termed PCN-upper-rate [2] a meter for PCN-packets, which MUST have the following behaviour: a token bucket, operating in bits: 1A tokens are added at the PCN-upper-rate, to a maximum TB.size 1B tokens are removed equal to the size in bits of the PCN-packet, to a minimum TB.size=0 2 if TB.fill = 0, then the meter indicates "termination mark" to the Mark function Note: Step 1A can be triggered by a packet and so can be done at the same time as Step 1B. Note: Step 2 can be performed before or after step 1 The following SHOULD be done (**) instead of Step 2 above (Step 2 is then superfluous). if TB.fill < maximum size of PCN-packet, then the meter indicates "termination mark" to the Mark function The "maximum size of PCN-packet" is the MTU in bits of any PCN-packets in the PCN-domain. Note: Step 1B above is still performed. Mark function: If the meter indicates to "termination mark" a PCN-packet, then: the PCN-packet's ECN/DSCP fields MUST be set to the codepoint "termination marked", as defined in [RFC-encoding] (*) Explanation: for CL termination (ie the termination based on rates, rather than the 3SM termination based on marked pkts), if the meter counts pkts that are already termination marked then there'll be over-termination in the event of multiple bottlenecks. However, since this option is probably more complicated to implement than a normal classifier (?), I suggest it is a SHOULD. (**) Explanation: this captures the point that Michael makes in <http://www3.informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de/staff/menth/Publications/Menth08-PC N-MFT.pdf> http://www3.informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de/staff/menth/Publications/Menth08-PCN -MFT.pdf & Bob makes in <http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-briscoe-tsvwg-byte-pkt-mark-02.tx t> http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-briscoe-tsvwg-byte-pkt-mark-02.txt Otherwise flows with big pkts get marked more than flows with small pkts. However, since this option is more complicated to implement than a normal token bucket, I suggest it is a SHOULD. we could also add an example algorithm, such as that in <http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-charny-pcn-comparison-00.txt%20Fi g%2010.1> http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-charny-pcn-comparison-00.txt Fig 10.1 on page 21.
