Up to now,=20 there's a mix in the text. You introduce the concept of PCN functionality on either incoming or=20 outgoing interfaces. PCN doesn't work, if there's a sequence of nodes Node1: outgoing IF - Node 2: incoming IF - Node 3: outgoing IF,=20 there's a link between node 2 and 3 without PCN functionality on=20 any interface. So a domain shouldn't mix these nodes. I'd prefer=20 PCN functionality on outgoing IF's, if this is closer to todays=20 DiffServ implementations. More details below. Please note that if I didn't comment a change=20 you've proposed, this doesn't indicate agreement. Some of your=20 comments aren't easy to understand for me. Regards, Ruediger =20 Terminology =20 [JB]: PCN-domain: a PCN-capable domain; a contiguous set of PCN-enabled nodes that provide the PCN function to at least one traffic class that = is DiffServ scheduling; [RG] if this needs to be changed, what about: ...PCN-enabled nodes perfoming DiffServ scheduling with PCN = functionality=20 to the PCN coloured traffic.. ------ [JB]: PCN-boundary-node: a PCN-node that connects one PCN-domain to a node either in another PCN-domain or in a non PCN-domain. PCN-edge-node: a node that is at ingress or egress point to the = PCN-enabled network. Traffic entering or leaving the PCN network passes through it. = Note, PCN-boundary-node is a special case of PCN-edge-node. [RG]: I don't understand why the terminology is changed in the stage we = have=20 reached. Has this been agreed in Vancouver? I also don't understand the=20 difference between the definitons. ------- 3.1. Assumption 1: Trust and support of PCN function - controlled = environment [JB]: o Similarly, a PCN-edge-node has to trust that all the PCN-nodes mark PCN traffic consistently. A link within the PCN-domain wouldn't be able to alert... [RG]: The original sentence "A non-PCN-node within the PCN-domain..." = should=20 be used. Links aren't able to alert anyway, PCN is a node or interface=20 function. This comment applies to all insertions of "links" following in = this paragraph. ------- 3.3. Assumption 3: Many flows and additional load [JB]: We do not make explicit assumptions on how many PCN-flows are on = each bottleneck link. Performance evaluation work may clarify whether it is necessary to make any additional assumption on aggregation on the bottleneck link. [RG]: This section should stay like it was and discuss the PCN = assumptions=20 on ingress-egress aggregates. Our assumptions on aggregation on links = are=20 discussed in the preceding section and any necessary changes regarding = link=20 aggregation should be added there. --------- 4.1. Flow admission [JB]the algorithm: a PCN-node meters the amount of PCN-traffic on=20 a link (on its incoming or outgoing links). The measurement is made=20 as an aggregate of all PCN-packets on that link, and not per flow. [RG]: please change to .... on each of its incoming or outgoing links... and leave the orinial text: ...on each one of its links, and not... If it should be emphasised that this is done per link aggregate: ...on each single one of its links, and not.. ________________________________ Von: Jozef Babiarz [mailto:babiarz@nortel.com]=20 Gesendet: Dienstag, 1.

Or, for termination, when the app realizes that one direction got torn down, it tears down the other direction?

Up to now,=20 there's a mix in the text. [Joe] Logically the PCN metering and marking is applied to a link between two nodes. Physically, a vendor will implement metering and marking on an interface to or from a node. My view is that in an architecture document it should be worded so that equipment vendors have a choice where they build the metering and marking function.=20 You introduce the concept of PCN functionality on either incoming or=20 outgoing interfaces. PCN doesn't work, if there's a sequence of nodes Node1: outgoing IF - Node 2: incoming IF - Node 3: outgoing IF,=20 there's a link between node 2 and 3 without PCN functionality on=20 any interface. So a domain shouldn't mix these nodes. I'd prefer=20 PCN functionality on outgoing IF's, if this is closer to todays=20 DiffServ implementations. [Joe] Yes. That is an issue. I'm suggesting that vendor of the node specifies on what interface(s) PCN metering and marking is supported. Nodes from different vendors have different metering capabilities with metering (token bucket) being most common on incoming or ingress interfaces. At lest, I believe that the PCN architecture should provide freedom were vendor implements the PCN metering and marking function. Should point out it will also depend on what method the vendor chooses to use for metering. If a token bucket approach is used than a common place would be ingress interface but if virtual queue approach is used than maybe egress interface would be the place. A vendor may also implement PCN metering and marking on both ingress and egress interfaces of a node therefore providing support for PCN on links to and from the node. More details below. Please note that if I didn't comment a change=20 you've proposed, this doesn't indicate agreement. Some of your=20 comments aren't easy to understand for me. Regards, Ruediger =20 Terminology =20 [JB]: PCN-domain: a PCN-capable domain; a contiguous set of PCN-enabled nodes that provide the PCN function to at least one traffic class that is DiffServ scheduling; [RG] if this needs to be changed, what about: ...PCN-enabled nodes perfoming DiffServ scheduling with PCN functionality=20 to the PCN coloured traffic.. [Joe] I'm OK with above, but would deleted word *coloured*. ------ [JB]: PCN-boundary-node: a PCN-node that connects one PCN-domain to a node either in another PCN-domain or in a non PCN-domain. PCN-edge-node: a node that is at ingress or egress point to the PCN-enabled network. Traffic entering or leaving the PCN network passes through it. Note, PCN-boundary-node is a special case of PCN-edge-node. [RG]: I don't understand why the terminology is changed in the stage we have=20 reached. Has this been agreed in Vancouver? I also don't understand the=20 difference between the definitons. [Joe]My confusion, after reading definition for DS Boundary node in RFC2475, I'm OK with using PCN-boundary-node. Please add reference to RFC2475 Section 2.1.1 as definition of boundary-node. ------- 3.1. Assumption 1: Trust and support of PCN function - controlled environment [JB]: o Similarly, a PCN-edge-node has to trust that all the PCN-nodes mark PCN traffic consistently. A link within the PCN-domain wouldn't be able to alert... [RG]: The original sentence "A non-PCN-node within the PCN-domain..." should=20 be used. Links aren't able to alert anyway, PCN is a node or interface=20 function. This comment applies to all insertions of "links" following in this paragraph. [Joe]How about. "A node performing PCN metering and marking within the PCN-domain wouldn't be able to alert that it is suffering pre-congestion, which potentially would lead to too many PCN-flows being admitted (or too few being terminated)." ------- 3.3. Assumption 3: Many flows and additional load [JB]: We do not make explicit assumptions on how many PCN-flows are on each bottleneck link. Performance evaluation work may clarify whether it is necessary to make any additional assumption on aggregation on the bottleneck link. [RG]: This section should stay like it was and discuss the PCN assumptions=20 on ingress-egress aggregates. Our assumptions on aggregation on links are=20 discussed in the preceding section and any necessary changes regarding link=20 aggregation should be added there. [Joe] My interpolation is that Assumption 3 is about aggregate at the point where the PCN metering and marking function is performed and not how many flows belong to an ingress-egress aggregate. These are different issues. =20 --------- 4.1. Flow admission [JB]the algorithm: a PCN-node meters the amount of PCN-traffic on=20 a link (on its incoming or outgoing links). The measurement is made=20 as an aggregate of all PCN-packets on that link, and not per flow. [RG]: please change to .... on each of its incoming or outgoing links... and leave the orinial text: ...on each one of its links, and not... If it should be emphasised that this is done per link aggregate: ...on each single one of its links, and not.. ________________________________ Von: Jozef Babiarz [mailto:babiarz@nortel.com]=20 Gesendet: Dienstag, 1.

Up to now, there's a mix in the text. | [Joe] Logically the PCN metering and marking is applied to a=20 | link between two nodes. Physically, a vendor will implement=20 | metering and marking on an interface to or from a node. My=20 | view is that in an architecture document it should be worded=20 | so that equipment vendors have a choice where they build the=20 | metering and marking function.=20 |=20 |=20 | You introduce the concept of PCN functionality on either=20 | incoming or outgoing interfaces. PCN doesn't work, if there's=20 | a sequence of nodes |=20 | Node1: outgoing IF - Node 2: incoming IF - Node 3: outgoing IF,=20 |=20 | there's a link between node 2 and 3 without PCN functionality=20 | on any interface. So a domain shouldn't mix these nodes. I'd=20 | prefer PCN functionality on outgoing IF's, if this is closer=20 | to todays DiffServ implementations. | [Joe] Yes. That is an issue. I'm suggesting that vendor of=20 | the node specifies on what interface(s) PCN metering and=20 | marking is supported. | Nodes from different vendors have different metering=20 | capabilities with metering (token bucket) being most common=20 | on incoming or ingress interfaces. At lest, I believe that=20 | the PCN architecture should provide freedom were vendor=20 | implements the PCN metering and marking function. | Should point out it will also depend on what method the=20 | vendor chooses to use for metering. If a token bucket=20 | approach is used than a common place would be ingress=20 | interface but if virtual queue approach is used than maybe=20 | egress interface would be the place. A vendor may also=20 | implement PCN metering and marking on both ingress and egress=20 | interfaces of a node therefore providing support for PCN on=20 | links to and from the node. |=20 |=20 | More details below. Please note that if I didn't comment a=20 | change you've proposed, this doesn't indicate agreement. Some=20 | of your comments aren't easy to understand for me. |=20 | Regards, |=20 | Ruediger |=20 |=20 |=20 | =20 | Terminology | =20 | [JB]: PCN-domain: a PCN-capable domain; a contiguous set of=20 | PCN-enabled nodes that provide the PCN function to at least=20 | one traffic class that is DiffServ scheduling; |=20 | [RG] if this needs to be changed, what about: | ...PCN-enabled nodes perfoming DiffServ scheduling with PCN=20 | functionality to the PCN coloured traffic.. | [Joe] I'm OK with above, but would deleted word *coloured*. |=20 | ------ |=20 | [JB]: PCN-boundary-node: a PCN-node that connects one=20 | PCN-domain to a node either in another PCN-domain or in a non=20 | PCN-domain. |=20 | PCN-edge-node: a node that is at ingress or egress point to=20 | the PCN-enabled network. Traffic entering or leaving the PCN=20 | network passes through it. | Note, | PCN-boundary-node is a special case of PCN-edge-node. |=20 | [RG]: I don't understand why the terminology is changed in=20 | the stage we have reached. Has this been agreed in Vancouver?=20 | I also don't understand the difference between the definitons. | [Joe]My confusion, after reading definition for DS Boundary=20 | node in RFC2475, I'm OK with using PCN-boundary-node. Please=20 | add reference to | RFC2475 Section 2.1.1 as definition of boundary-node. |=20 | ------- |=20 | 3.1. Assumption 1: Trust and support of PCN function -=20 | controlled environment |=20 | [JB]: o Similarly, a PCN-edge-node has to trust that all the=20 | PCN-nodes mark PCN traffic consistently. A link within the=20 | PCN-domain wouldn't be able to alert... |=20 | [RG]: The original sentence "A non-PCN-node within the PCN-domain..." | should | be used. Links aren't able to alert anyway, PCN is a node or=20 | interface function. This comment applies to all insertions of=20 | "links" following in |=20 | this paragraph. | [Joe]How about. "A node performing PCN metering and marking=20 | within the PCN-domain wouldn't be able to alert that it is=20 | suffering pre-congestion, which potentially would lead to too=20 | many PCN-flows being admitted (or too few being terminated)." * [RG] Allright with me. * =20 | ------- |=20 | 3.3. Assumption 3: Many flows and additional load |=20 | [JB]: We do not make explicit assumptions on how many=20 | PCN-flows are on each bottleneck link. Performance evaluation=20 | work may clarify whether it is necessary to make any=20 | additional assumption on aggregation on the bottleneck link. |=20 | [RG]: This section should stay like it was and discuss the=20 | PCN assumptions on ingress-egress aggregates. Our assumptions=20 | on aggregation on links are discussed in the preceding=20 | section and any necessary changes regarding link aggregation=20 | should be added there. | [Joe] My interpolation is that Assumption 3 is about=20 | aggregate at the point where the PCN metering and marking=20 | function is performed and not how many flows belong to an=20 | ingress-egress aggregate. These are different issues. =20 |=20 * [RG] I understand your comment and your point of view, I think.=20 "The original text referring to ingress-egress aggregates=20 doesn't fit to this section" is what you say, isn't it? This=20 is because this section is limited to traffic conditions at=20 marking and metering nodes. The remark about ingress egress aggregates may better fit to=20 e.g. section 4. The assumptions and relevance we make on=20 ingress egress aggregates needs to stay in the draft, but=20 you are right that this doesn't fit well to 3.3.

Hi Phil,

The link below provides my detailed comments and suggested new text for draft-ietf-pcn-architecture-02.

Currently, my review covers, Section 1 through end of 5. New text to be added is underlined and text to be deleted is crossed out.

http://standards.nortel.com/= pcn/draft-ietf-pcn-architecture-02-jb.doc=

http://standards.nortel.com/= pcn/draft-ietf-pcn-architecture-02-jb.pdf=

Changes of note:

- On terminology, changed PCN-boundary-node to PCN-edge-node. =

- Made several changes in Section 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5.

- The changes in Section 5.7 on Tunneling that I made are with the = assumption that PCN marking will be conformant to RFC 4774, Specifying Alternate = Semantics for the Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) Field.

- Most of the other changes through out the draft are = editorial.

I will send comments on remaining of the draft, Section 6 to end in few = days.

Happy New Year!

Section 6, http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-pcn-architecture-02#page-24 says=20 o Bi-Directional Sessions: Many applications have bi-directional sessions - hence there are two flows that should be admitted (or terminated) as a pair - for instance a bi-directional voice call only makes sense if flows in both directions are admitted. However, PCN's mechanisms concern admission and termination of a single flow, and coordination of the decision for both flows is a matter for the signalling protocol and out of scope of PCN. One possible example would use SIP pre-conditions; there are others.

This viewpoint has in particular been suggested for the scenario where the PCN-domain reaches out to the end terminals. See section 11. Section 11 is a new section called something like "Beyond the scope of the initial charter" (suggested by steven blake) There I'll say something like (English needs tweaking): Referring to the scenario where the PCN-domain reaches out to the end terminals. Link capacity is likely to be low at the edge of the PCN-domain. This breaks Assumption 3 (aggregation) and hence further consideration is out of scope of the initial Charter of the PCN WG. It has also been suggested to probe for admission of all calls in other scenarios where Assumption 3 does hold.

(ie whether we should talk about = PCN marking operation being done on a link or at an interface) Couple of general points: - I think we all agree on the content & this is just a matter of = phrasing. - a change from version 00 to 01 was to change from talking about links = to talking about interfaces in S5. As rudi points out, I wasn't = particularly rigorous in following through this change in other = sections. this change from links to interfaces was a change suggested by someone, = I think bob. Unfortunately bob is off some time at the moment [skiing = accident] so I can't ask him at the moment. Looking at rfc2475, this almost always talks about links. So I guess I'm = inclined to go back to talking about links.

Currently updating the architecture draft to = reflect comments received.

 

In Section 3.5,other assumptions, currently = says:

The following two assumptions apply if the =
PCN WG decides to encode
   PCN-marking in the =
ECN-field.
 
   o  It is assumed that =
PCN-nodes do not perform ECN, [RFC3168], =

      =
PCN-packets.
 
   o  If a packet that is part =
of a PCN-flow arrives at a PCN-ingress-
      node with its =
CE (Congestion experienced) codepoint set, then =
we
      assume that =
the PCN-ingress-node drops the packet.  After =
its

a
      mechanism =
(such as through a signalling extension) that =

There was =

generally the relationship of ECN & PCN. the issue also depends =
heavily on the PCN encoding issue - I believe an update of that draft is =

So =
I’m proposing to replace the second =

   o  If a packet that is part =

possibilities have been mentioned. The PCN-ingress-node could drop the =
packet, or downgrade it to best effort, or it could encapsulate the =
packet. Encapsulation would enable the ECN-marking to be carried =
transparently across the PCN-domain, but may require an additional =
mechanism (such as a signalling =
extension).
 
Hopefully =
the issue will get more discussion, but I think that’s best done =
in the context of the encoding draft.

Assumption 3: Many flows and additional load We assume that there are many flows on any bottleneck link in the PCN-domain ... We do not make explicit assumptions on how many PCN-flows are in each ingress-egress-aggregate." And on the reasons for probing: "7.3. Discussion of rationale for probing, its downsides and open issues It is an unresolved question whether probing is really needed, but three viewpoints have been put forward as to why it is useful. The first is perhaps the most obvious: there is no PCN-traffic on the ingress-egress-aggregate. The second assumes that multipath routing ECMP is running in the PCN-domain. The third viewpoint is that admission control is always done by probing." > | (aggregation) and hence further consideration is out of scope > | of the initial Charter of the PCN WG. Mention of Charter scope will be moved to Appendix. > I don't see a point in discussing measurement based > admission control on links where it doesn't work (that's > the meaning of "assumption 3 doesn't hold").

Hi,

In S4.5, where it = says:

You deleted the final sentence. =

 

Steven sent me some comments off = list & made a similar remark:

Don’t understand - I still = think that the more important traffic does need to contribute to the = PCN-meter, in the case where the PCN-node is priority scheduling it over PCN-traffic = rather than dedicating capacity. Since the more important traffic may delay PCN-pkts = on the real queue, surely it also needs to contribute to the virtual queue (*). = Otherwise pcn pkts may get delayed if there’s lots of important traffic, but = are still not being pcn-marked.

You make some comments on Section = 5.7 Tunnelling, which I didn’t really understand.

 

After

   An operator may wish to tunnel PCN-traffic from PCN-ingress-nodes to

   PCN-egress-nodes.  =

You deleted this:

The PCN-marks shouldn't be visible outside =
the
   PCN-domain, which can be =
achieved by doing the PCN-colour function
   (Section 5.3) after all the other (PCN and tunnelling) =
functions.

Why? Is this because you thought it = too detailed to bother saying? Or because you think PCN-colouring isnt = needed? If the latter, this is an argument about encoding – in which case = I’ll ignore the issue until the encoding draft is done.

 

You added:

  Also operator may wish to tunnel = PCN-traffic across a non-PCN-capable domain.  The PCN-marks shouldn't be visible = outside the PCN-domain, which can be achieved by encapsulating PCN packets with an outer header = that does not support the PCN function (tunnel). In this mode on = decapsulation, the inner PCN-capable header is used without modification.

I don’t agree with this. if = you send PCN-traffic outside the PCN-domain then it’s no longer = PCN-traffic.

 

You made a lot = of changes to the text about "partially = PCN-capable tunnel", ie where only one tunnel endpoint is in the PCN = domain

Partly I think this is to do with encoding = (again, I propose to park the text until the encoding draft has progressed). =

However:

In the case “1.  The tunnel starts = outside a PCN-domain and finishes inside it.”

You wrote:

       For this = scenario when the tunnel ends, the PCN-ingress node function must be performed = after decapsulation of packet.

I don’t agree. The main ingress = functions like policing have to be done at the PCN-boundary-node.

The idea here (from bob) is that = the pcn-edge doesn’t do per policing, rather this is devolved to the = access nw. cos the access is trusted by the core to do this properly.

I thought the original PCN-domain = & PCN-boundary-node definitions were ok (the info you added to the former = is covered by implication, as it’s elsewhere in the = doc)

 

3.

I ignored your comment in S3.5. = it’s true, but the term PCN-packets already includes the idea of PCN traffic classes.

In S5.3, where it = says:

Hi,

Follow-up = on one=20 specific point.

 

In S4.5, = where it=20 says:

There may = be traffic=20 that is more important than PCN, perhaps a particular application or = an=20 operator's control messages. A PCN-node may dedicate capacity to such = traffic=20 or priority schedule it over PCN. In the latter case its traffic needs = to=20 contribute to the PCN meters.

You deleted = the final=20 sentence.

 

Steven sent = me some=20 comments off list & made a similar remark:

Don=92t = understand - I=20 still think that the more important traffic does need to contribute to = the=20 PCN-meter, in the case where the PCN-node is priority scheduling it = over=20 PCN-traffic rather than dedicating capacity. Since the more important = traffic=20 may delay PCN-pkts on the real queue, surely it also needs to = contribute to=20 the virtual queue (*). Otherwise pcn pkts may get delayed if there=92s = lots of=20 important traffic, but are still not being pcn-marked. Having some = capacity=20 dedicated to pcn-traffic [guaranteed minimum service = rate]=20 reduces the chances of this happening, but it=92s still possible. = Whereas if the=20 important traffic contributes to the virtual queue then the risk is = greatly=20 reduced (ie the risk should be no worse than normal for MBAC, assuming = that=20 the traffic characteristics of the more important traffic are similar = to those=20 for PCN-traffic).

 

(*) =3D = (terminology=20 assumes virtual queue implementation of pcn marking=20 behaviour!)

Phil,
 
if the PCN domain spans across an embedded = non PCN=20 domain, then the PCN marked packets may be tunneled without the outer = header=20 supporting PCN while the PCN marks of the inner header should be = left=20 unchanged. Examples are:
 
- backbone transit using a carrier IP = VPN=20 service
- a business access connected via L2TP over=20 DSL
 
In both cases the carrier providing = connectivity may=20 not support PCN, but the end point using that carrier connectivity = product may=20 be in a PCN domain. It is important that the tunnel starts and ends in = the same=20 PCN domain (which holds for the given examples). Once the charter allows = for=20 extended discussion, the tunnel may also connect two PCN=20 domains.
 
This scenario should be supported, I support = Joe's=20 view. Picking up Joe's drafted text, what about the following (my = changes=20 marked):
 

A = PCN domain=20 may expand over a non PCN domain and wish to tunnel = PCN-traffic=20 across this non-PCN-capable = domain. The PCN-marks = shouldn't be=20 visible outside the PCN-domain, which can be achieved by encapsulating = PCN=20 packets with an outer header that does not support PCN. In this mode on decapsulation, the = inner=20 PCN-capable header is used without modification.

 

Deletions are hard to mark, that's why I = highlighted=20 "PCN".

 

I think, the scenario = is somewhat=20 similar to passing a non PCN capable node (without a tunnel) in a PCN=20 domain.

You make = some=20 comments on Section 5.7 Tunnelling, which I didn=92t really=20 understand.

 

After=20

   An operator may wish to tunnel=20 PCN-traffic from PCN-ingress-nodes to

You deleted = this:

The PCN-marks shouldn't be visible outside =

by doing the PCN-colour function
   (Section 5.3) after all the other (PCN and tunnelling) =

Why? Is = this because=20 you thought it too detailed to bother saying? Or because you think=20 PCN-colouring isnt needed? If the latter, this is an argument about = encoding =96=20 in which case I=92ll ignore the issue until the encoding draft is = done.=20

 

You=20 added:

I don=92t = agree with=20 this. if you send PCN-traffic outside the PCN-domain then it=92s no = longer=20 PCN-traffic.

 

You made a = lot of=20 changes to the text about "partially=20 PCN-capable tunnel", ie where only one tunnel endpoint is in the PCN=20 domain

Partly I think this is to do with encoding = (again, I=20 propose to park the text until the encoding draft has progressed).=20

However:

In the case =931.  The tunnel starts = outside a=20 PCN-domain and finishes inside it.=94

You wrote:

       For = this scenario=20 when the tunnel ends, the PCN-ingress node function must be performed = after=20 decapsulation of packet.

I don=92t agree. The main ingress functions = like=20 policing have to be done at the PCN-boundary-node.

Hi Phil,

The link below provides my detailed comments = and=20 suggested new text for = draft-ietf-pcn-architecture-02.

Currently, my review covers, Section 1 = through end of=20 5. New text to be added is underlined and text to be deleted is = crossed out.=20

http://standards.nortel.com/pcn/draft-ietf-pcn-architecture-02-jb.= doc=20

http://standards.nortel.com/pcn/draft-ietf-pcn-architecture-02-jb.= pdf=20

Changes of note:

- On terminology, changed PCN-boundary-node = to=20 PCN-edge-node.

- Made several changes in Section 5.2, 5.3, = 5.4 and=20 5.5.

- The changes in Section 5.7 on Tunneling = that I made=20 are with the assumption that PCN marking will be conformant to RFC = 4774,=20 Specifying Alternate Semantics for the Explicit Congestion = Notification (ECN)=20 Field.

- Most of the other changes through out the = draft are=20 editorial.

I will send comments on remaining of the = draft,=20 Section 6 to end in few days.

Happy New = Year!
