Hi group,

I'm currently integrating text from the re-ECN documents on preferential drop 
into the IPv6 CDO draft.

Find the references from the re-ECN drafts here:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-briscoe-conex-re-ecn-tcp-02#section-5.3
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-briscoe-conex-re-ecn-motiv-02#section-5.1 

Here is my current text:
"7.  DDoS mitigation by using preferential drop

   If a router queue experiences very high load so that it has to drop
   arriving packets, it MAY preferentially drop packets within the same
   Diffserv PHB using the preference order given in Table 1 (1 means
   drop first).  Additionally, if a router implements preferential drop
   it SHOULD also support ECN-marking.  Preferential dropping can be
   difficult to implement on some hardware, but if feasible it would
   discriminate against attack traffic if done as part of the overall
   policing framework as described in [RFC6789].  If nowhere else,
   routers at the egress of a network SHOULD implement preferential drop
   (stronger than the MAY above).

                   +----------------------+------------+
                   |                      | Preference |
                   +----------------------+------------+
                   | Not-ConEx or no CDO  |     1      |
                   | X (but not L,E or C) |     2      |
                   | X and L,E or C       |     3      |
                   +----------------------+------------+

                Table 1: Drop preference for ConEx packets

   A flooding attack is inherently about congestion of a resource.  As
   load focuses on a victim, upstream queues grow, requiring honest
   sources to pre-load packets with a higher fraction of ConEx-marks.

   If ECN marking is supported by the downstream queues preferential
   dropping provides the most benefits because if the queue is so
   congested that it drops traffic, it will be CE-marking 100% of the
   forwarded traffic.  Honest sources will therefore be sending 100%
   ConEx E-marked packets (and therefore being rate-limited at an
   ingress policer).  Senders under malicious control can either do the
   same as honest sources, and be rate-limited at ingress, or they can
   understate congestion.  If the preferential drop ranking is
   implemented on queues, these queues will preserve E/L-marked traffic
   until last.  So, the traffic from malicious sources will all be
   automatically dropped first.  Either way, the malicious sources
   cannot send more than honest sources."

The text in the re-ECN drafts assumes that a ConEx/re-ECN-capable router will 
automatically also support ECN. The preferential drop works best if the 
router uses ECN, because such a router will mark all packets before anything 
gets dropped. If the router is not ECN-capable, it still might help but not 
that much. Thus I added the following sentence:
"if a router implements preferential drop it SHOULD also support ECN-marking"

Not sure if I should write something like this because requiring to support 
ECN might stop people from implementing the preferential drop. On the 
otherhand ECN support would be helpful for ConEx anyway. But without a 
deployed accurate ECN it's kind of useless....

Any thoughts?

Mirja

Hi,

Thanks. Just a few comments:

- it's probably useful to state in the table that "1" =3D=3D top priority

- "... it MAY preferentially drop packets" -- I actually think this should =
read "it SHOULD preferentially drop packet" -- we want to recommend it -- n=
ot say that it is really optional. (You would need to change the parenthese=
s later in the text then, too...)

- I don't think we need "if a router implements preferential drop it SHOULD=
 also support ECN-marking" -- it's kind of implicit. The text later also se=
ems to assume that ECN is implemented anyway.

Dirk

It's in the text, but I will also but it in the table.

That was intended to have to really optional. There is not need to implemen=
t=20
preferential drop to have ConEx working. It only to potentially have some=20
additional benefits if desired be the operator...=20
Moreover, it might be quite complicated to implement preferential drop into=
=20
existing architectures (we had this discussion recently on the rmcat list).=
=20
And we definitely don't want to keep people from using the ConEx informatio=
n=20
by requiring preferential drop.

No, you can have preferential drop without ECN. It is just more useful with=
=20
ECN and that why the later text mostly relies on assuming ECN. Thus I think=
=20
if we would like to have ECN, we have to write it in the text (as it is not=
=20
implicit). The question is: do we want to push ECN deployment by this? Or=20
should the decision to use ECN be taken as independent. Because then, the=20
text would read like: "If ECN is also (already) supported, this mechanism=20
provides better DDoS migration..." or something like this....

Abstract:
   This memo describes a mobile communications use case for congestion
   exposure (CONEX) with a particular focus on mobile communication
   networks such as the 3GPP Evolved Packet System (EPS).  The draft
   provides a brief overview of the architecture of these networks (both
   access and core networks), current QoS mechanisms and then discusses
   how congestion exposure concepts could be applied.  Based on this,
   this memo suggests a set of requirements for CONEX mechanisms that
   particularly apply to mobile networks.

        Title           : Congestion Exposure (ConEx) Concepts and Abstract Mechanism
        Authors         : Matt Mathis
                          Bob Briscoe

Abstract:
   This document describes an abstract mechanism by which senders inform
   the network about the congestion encountered by packets earlier in
   the same flow.  Today, network elements at any layer may signal
   congestion to the receiver by dropping packets or by ECN markings,
   and the receiver passes this information back to the sender in
   transport-layer feedback.  The mechanism described here enables the
   sender to also relay this congestion information back into the
   network in-band at the IP layer, such that the total amount of
   congestion from all elements on the path is revealed to all IP
   elements along the path, where it could, for example, be used to
   provide input to traffic management.  This mechanism is called
   congestion exposure or ConEx.  The companion document "ConEx Concepts
   and Use Cases" provides the entry-point to the set of ConEx
   documentation.

Hi,

we updated the TCP mods draft to comply with the new credit definition. The=
re=20
are lots of changes in sections 3.1.2 (Classic ECN support), 3.2. (Loss=20
Detection) and 4.2 (Credit Bits). Thus would be great if people would have=
=20
time to review this version!

Thanks,
Mirja

Hi,

I think there might be a problem with the use of DeliveredData without SACK=
 to increase the CEG. DeliveredData is estimated as follows:

DeliveredData =3D acked_bytes + SACK_diff + (is_dup)*1SMSS - (is_after_dup)=
*num_dup*1SMSS

is_dup =3D 1 if the current ACK is a duplicated ACK
is_after_dup  =3D 1 for the next full or partial ACK after a number of dupl=
icated ACKs
num_dup counts the number of duplicated ACKs in a row

If a sender loses more than one packet in a row (let's suppose 2 dropped pa=
ckets), the ACK he will receive from retransmitting the first dropped packe=
t will be a partial ack (if no delayed acks are used or if this segment tri=
ggered the ACK). We will then have:
acked_bytes =3D 1 packet (Only the first retransmitted packet because it di=
dn't fill the whole gap)
SACK_diff =3D 0 (No SACK used)
is_dup =3D 0
is_after_dup =3D 1
num_dup >=3D 3 packets (Let's suppose 4 duplicate ACKs)

Hence DeliveredData =3D -3 and the operation CEG +=3D min(SMSS*D, Delivered=
Data) will decrease the CEG.
When the ACK for the second dropped packet will arrive, it will be a full A=
CK because it will fill the gap there was. We will then have:
acked_bytes =3D 5 packets (the second dropped packet + the packets from the=
 4 duplicate ACKs)
SACK_diff =3D 0 (No SACK used)
is_dup =3D 0
is_after_dup =3D 0
num_dup =3D 0 packets

Hence DeliveredData =3D 5 and the operation CEG +=3D min(SMSS*D, DeliveredD=
ata) will limit CEG by SMSS*D which should cover the number of CE marks sin=
ce the last ACK and in our case it shouldn't be more than 1 (in fact in sho=
uld be 0 since the retransmitted packets mustn't be marked as specified in =
RFC3168).
When we sum up all the DeliveredData calculated, the result is coherent onc=
e we receive the full ACK. DeliveredData then covers all data (-3+5 =3D 2 r=
etransmitted packets). But because we do the min() operation on every ACK, =
we may have a negative outcome on a partial ACK which will not be rebalance=
d on the full ACK and we will potentially lose a number of marks, which cou=
ld be substantial if the congestion window is big.

We can solve this problem by subtracting num_dup from DeliveredData only on=
 full ACKs. This way, DeliveredData will be positive in every step and the =
min() operation will not lose potential marks. But there is another case wh=
ere this solution will lead us to the same problem as before. It's when we =
have two or more losses in the same window that are noncontiguous. The rece=
ipt of the ACK from the first retransmitted packet will give us a positive =
DeliveredData if we don't subtract num_dup on partial ACKs, but if upon the=
 receipt of the full ACK, the number of acked bytes by this ACK is less tha=
n num_dup*SMSS, we will get a negative DeliveredData once again.

We have other solutions that we can apply. We can say that CEG +=3D min(D*S=
MSS, max(0,DeliveredData)). We don't increase CEG if DeliveredData is negat=
ive and hope we can retrieve the cumulative D*SMSS from the next ACK. The A=
CK triggered from the arrival of a retransmitted packet shouldn't contain a=
 new congestion indication since a retransmitted packet can't be CE marked.=
 It can only contain the congestion marks from the previously received pack=
ets.
We can also, upon a partial ACK, subtract from acked_bytes only the number =
of dups that are between a lost packet and the next lost packet, this numbe=
r of dups should equal acked_bytes - 1*SMSS (1 for the retransmitted packet=
).

I hope I didn't misunderstand the use of DeliveredData.


I also have a remark about the credit bits in 4.2. You say that the sender =
should send as much credits as there are packets in flight. This should avo=
id sanctions in the auditor side indeed. But if we use a congestion policer=
 and we remove tokens when a credit packet is forwarded as described in dra=
ft-ietf-conex-abstract-mech-09, the sender may consume many of his resource=
s by sending credits even if there is no congestion ahead. This is penalizi=
ng the sender even though he will not contribute to congestion. I understan=
d that the credits are defined for auditing purposes and it shouldn't rely =
on the design of the policer used to manage traffic. Nonetheless, policing =
the senders is what makes ConEx useful.
We can imagine that we may not use the credits in the policer. If we use, i=
n the auditor side, a balance with CE marks in one side and Re-echo and Cre=
dit in the other side, this will push the user to send credits rather than =
re-echo marks to not consume tokens in the policer. The sender will eventua=
lly get penalized by the auditor if we use two balances, the first with CE =
marks and Re-echo marks and the second with CE marks and Credit, but the da=
mage to the network will be done as the auditor should be placed after the =
potential bottlenecks, and this misbehaving sender will have impacted the o=
ther users with his traffic.

With regards,

Ali

Hi,

we updated the TCP mods draft to comply with the new credit definition. The=
re are lots of changes in sections 3.1.2 (Classic ECN support), 3.2. (Loss
Detection) and 4.2 (Credit Bits). Thus would be great if people would have =
time to review this version!

Thanks,
Mirja

Hi, 

we also updated the draft on ConEx Auditing. 
We included a more detailed description on which flow state needs to be maintained by the auditor and on how penalities should be defined. 
Comments would be great! 

Thanks, 
David

Abstract:
   Congestion Exposure (ConEx) is a mechanism by which senders inform
   the network about the congestion encountered by previous packets on
   the same flow.  Reliable auditing is necessary to provide a strong
   incentive to declare ConEx information honestly.  This document
   defines how the signals are handled by an audit and lists
   requirements for an audit implementation.  This document does not
   mandate a particular design but identifies state and functions that
   any auditor element must provide to fullfil the requirements stated
   in [draft-ietf-conex-abstract-mech].

                                                                                  


Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission
until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
