The DD mechanisms in iSNS translate easily into WWN-based zoning in the FC
fabric.  To do port zoning you may have to do some extra work by storing
some additional info in vendor-specific fields, but that doesn't mean it
can't be done.  Remember, iSNS is just basically an information repository,
and it can be used to store pretty much anything including proprietary
information.

Josh,
 
Base on the same reasoning that iSNS doesn't support the use of IP subnet
as an initiator node in a DD, it doesn't support the (Domain_ID,Port_Number)

construct in a FC zone, correct? 
 
Thanks,

Dan,

 

Contact me offline if you want help writing a draft.


 

Regarding your question, in iSNS connectivity between iSCSI devices is
established by DD membership.  DD membership for an iSCSI device can only be
established by iSCSI Name.  Portal membership in a DD only indicates the
preferred interface for iSCSI sessions, and by itself does not indicate DD
membership for any iSCSI device.  So the answer is 'no', you cannot
establish DD membership by IP subnet.

Joshua,

 

Thanks.  

 

Regardinig #2, I would be interested in writing a paper after I have
explored 

more on the interoperability issues in bridging FC zones to iSNS, will

definitely need more of your help.  I don't believe this qualifies for IETF
draft 

or RFC, but having a more well defined rules in mapping FC zones to iSNS 

will simplify the job of managing a mixed FC/iSCSI SAN.

On a related question, is there a way to specify a IP subnet as an iSCSI 

Initiator node in a Discovery Domain -- the intent is to allow all the hosts


on a subnet to access the targets in the corresponding DD.

 

Regards,

Dan

Dan,

 

Here are my responses:

 

1)       Yes, as alluded to in the iSNS draft.  You understood it well.

2)       You are welcome to write a paper or RFC if you desire.  I am
willing to help you out.

3)       Yes.

 

Regards,

Josh

Subject: [Ips] iSNS: question on exporting FC Zone DB to iSNS DB

 

Hi,

 

I would like to get some opinions and thoughts on mapping FC Zone Server DB

to iSNS DB in a single or multiple fabrics, mixed protocol SAN switches 

environment.

 

Based on my understanding of the FC-GS, FC-SW, and the iSNS draft, FC zone 

objects are mapped to iSNS objects as follow: 

 

  FC zone maps to iSNS DD (Discovery Domain).

  FC zone set maps to iSNS DD Set.

  FC fabric maps to iSNS Network Entity.

 

Assume we have a multi-fabric SAN with mixed FC and iSCSI switches,

and FC/iSCSI gateways.

We want to create a central iSNS database to store all the devices, 

where some of the devices are exported from the FC zone DBs, and some 

are registered from the iSNS capable clients (most likely iSCSI devices).  

With the central iSNS server, iSNS capable management stations now 

have a full view of the whole multi-fabric SAN. 

 

My questions are:

 

1. Would iSNS serve well for the above application?

2. When FC Zone DBs are merged or segmented, how the FC Zone DBs

    are synchronized with the iSNS DB is an implementation issue, but 

    has anybody written any guideline or paper on this?

    If not, would this subject be a good ietf draft/rfc candidate?

3. Is there any such product on the market from the major SAN switch 

    manufacturers (that exports and maps FC Zone DB to iSNS server)?

 

Thanks,

Dan

The DD mechanisms in iSNS translate easily into WWN-based zoning in the FC
fabric.  To do port zoning you may have to do some extra work by storing
some additional info in vendor-specific fields, but that doesn't mean it
can't be done.  Remember, iSNS is just basically an information repository,
and it can be used to store pretty much anything including proprietary
information.

Josh

Josh,

 

Base on the same reasoning that iSNS doesn't support the use of IP subnet

as an initiator node in a DD, it doesn't support the (Domain_ID,Port_Number)


construct in a FC zone, correct? 

 

Thanks,

Dan

Dan,

 

Contact me offline if you want help writing a draft.


 

Regarding your question, in iSNS connectivity between iSCSI devices is
established by DD membership.  DD membership for an iSCSI device can only be
established by iSCSI Name.  Portal membership in a DD only indicates the
preferred interface for iSCSI sessions, and by itself does not indicate DD
membership for any iSCSI device.  So the answer is 'no', you cannot
establish DD membership by IP subnet.

Joshua,

 

Thanks.  

 

Regardinig #2, I would be interested in writing a paper after I have
explored 

more on the interoperability issues in bridging FC zones to iSNS, will

definitely need more of your help.  I don't believe this qualifies for IETF
draft 

or RFC, but having a more well defined rules in mapping FC zones to iSNS 

will simplify the job of managing a mixed FC/iSCSI SAN.

On a related question, is there a way to specify a IP subnet as an iSCSI 

Initiator node in a Discovery Domain -- the intent is to allow all the hosts


on a subnet to access the targets in the corresponding DD.

 

Regards,

Dan

Dan,

 

Here are my responses:

 

1)       Yes, as alluded to in the iSNS draft.  You understood it well.

2)       You are welcome to write a paper or RFC if you desire.  I am
willing to help you out.

3)       Yes.

 

Regards,

Josh

Subject: [Ips] iSNS: question on exporting FC Zone DB to iSNS DB

 

Hi,

 

I would like to get some opinions and thoughts on mapping FC Zone Server DB

to iSNS DB in a single or multiple fabrics, mixed protocol SAN switches 

environment.

 

Based on my understanding of the FC-GS, FC-SW, and the iSNS draft, FC zone 

objects are mapped to iSNS objects as follow: 

 

  FC zone maps to iSNS DD (Discovery Domain).

  FC zone set maps to iSNS DD Set.

  FC fabric maps to iSNS Network Entity.

 

Assume we have a multi-fabric SAN with mixed FC and iSCSI switches,

and FC/iSCSI gateways.

We want to create a central iSNS database to store all the devices, 

where some of the devices are exported from the FC zone DBs, and some 

are registered from the iSNS capable clients (most likely iSCSI devices).  

With the central iSNS server, iSNS capable management stations now 

have a full view of the whole multi-fabric SAN. 

 

My questions are:

 

1. Would iSNS serve well for the above application?

2. When FC Zone DBs are merged or segmented, how the FC Zone DBs

    are synchronized with the iSNS DB is an implementation issue, but 

    has anybody written any guideline or paper on this?

    If not, would this subject be a good ietf draft/rfc candidate?

3. Is there any such product on the market from the major SAN switch 

    manufacturers (that exports and maps FC Zone DB to iSNS server)?

 

Thanks,

Dan

David,

There are quite a few of us who would like the IPS
WG to approve the iSER and DA I-Ds as official WG
docs - in order to extend iSCSI's capabilities to
be generic RDMA-capable.  To that end, the authors
of these drafts have requested time for presenting
those drafts a short while ago with the co-chairs.
It may have crossed this email on the Net.

While the authors ideally would like a formal
WG meeting for seeking charter enhancements, I can
also see that doing so given the seeming lack of other
agenda items may not be most efficient.  OTOH, I
am afraid that this fact would remain the same
even for the next IETF in Seoul, aside from the
fact that it causes more delay when the authors
believe the drafts are ready for WG consideration.

Could you please recommend the most optimal course
of action to request and enhance the WG charter?

Regards.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP Storage Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Internet Storage Name Service (iSNS)
	Author(s)	: J. Tseng, K. Gibbons, et. al.
	Filename	: draft-ietf-ips-isns-21.txt
	Pages		: 112
	Date		: 2003-10-14
	
This document specifies the Internet Storage Name Service (iSNS) 
protocol, which is used for interaction between iSNS servers and iSNS 
clients in order to facilitate automated discovery, management, and 
configuration of iSCSI and Fibre Channel devices (using iFCP 
gateways) on a TCP/IP network.  iSNS provides intelligent storage 
discovery and management services comparable to those found in Fibre 
Channel networks, allowing a commodity IP network to function in a 
similar capacity as a storage area network.  iSNS also facilitates a 
seamless integration of IP and Fibre Channel networks, due to its 
ability to emulate Fibre Channel fabric services, and manage both 
iSCSI and Fibre Channel devices.  iSNS thereby provides value in any 
storage network comprised of iSCSI devices, Fibre Channel devices 
(using iFCP gateways), or any combination thereof.

In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ips-isns-21.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.

Julian,

In reviewing the port name text in section 3.4.2, I noticed the
following:
a text encoding as a hex-constant (see Section 5.1 Text
Format) of the ISID (for SCSI initiator port) or the
portal group tag (for SCSI target port) including the
initial 0X or 0x and the terminating null (14 bytes).

Given that ISID is 6 bytes binary (hence 12 nibbles), I think the
14 bytes account only for length "not including the terminating
null".  It would be good to fix it if we can.

In addition, a less critical (but useful) clarification is for text in
section 3.2.6.1 which says
"Initiators and targets MUST support the receipt of
iSCSI names of up to the maximum length of 223 bytes."

I suggest adding the same "not including the terminating null"
qualifier at the end of the quoted sentence as well.

Regards.

iSCSI: length clarifications






Julian,

In reviewing the port name text in section 3.4.2, I noticed the
following:
a text encoding as a hex-constant (see Section 5.1 Text
Format) of the ISID (for SCSI initiator port) or the
portal group tag (for SCSI target port) including the
initial 0X or 0x and the terminating null (14 bytes).

Given that ISID is 6 bytes binary (hence 12 nibbles), I think the
14 bytes account only for length "not including the terminating
null".  It would be good to fix it if we can.

In addition, a less critical (but useful) clarification is for text in
section 3.2.6.1 which says
"Initiators and targets MUST support the receipt of
iSCSI names of up to the maximum length of 223 bytes."

I suggest adding the same "not including the terminating null"
qualifier at the end of the quoted sentence as well.

Regards.

All,

        I'm looking for a little clarification regarding the FCIP-MGMT-MIB
and entity identifiers described in the Fibre Channel Over TCP/IP draft and
FC-BB-2. Can I believe the MIB's fcipDeviceWWN corresponds to what FC-BB-2
calls a Switch_Name (for the VE_Port) or a Fabric_Name (B_Port)?

        As the fcipLinkTable is indexed by an fcipEntityId and the
fcipLinkTable contains the parameter fcipLinkLocalFcipEntityMode that
describes the entity's behavior (B_Port or E_Port) can I say that the
fcipEntityId corresponds to what FC-BB-2 calls the VE_Port_Name or
B_Access_Name? And if so may a client be interested in what FC-BB-2 calls
the FC/FCIP Identifier? 

	Bret

Hi David,

what is the process for getting the iSER and DA I-Ds considered as WG =
documents?  Are there any other new items pending?

thanks.

I also think these documents should be reviewed by the WG.

I had major reservations about the first draft, and expressed them.
But without it being a WG product, there is no way of having those 
issues
be dealt with. The flaws may or may not be corrected. But if not, the
flawed deployment will be cited as an argument against fixing the 
problem.

In any event, the *goal* of defining iSCSI so that it works with
general purpose RDMA rather than its own custom RMDA-like features
is certainly one that should be endorsed by the IETF.

Hi all,

I would like to announce a new IETF WG -- Internet and Management Support
for Storage [IMSS]
The charter follows below, but can also be found at
http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/imss-charter.html

The IMSS working group has been chartered in the OPS area, and will be
working on the FC MIBs initially proposed in this working group via the
mailing list this past June, per draft
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-gai-fc-mibs-00.txt.  It will also
work on the IPv6 over Fibre Channel draft
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-imss-ipv6-over-fibre-channel-
00.txt initially proposed in the IPv6 working group.

IMSS will be holding a session at IETF-58 in Minneapolis, which you are
welcome to attend.
Information about the working group and the mailing list follow.

Thank you,

Elizabeth Rodriguez
IMSS chair

----
A new IETF working group has been formed in the Operations and Management
Area.
For additional information, please contact the Area Directors or the WG
Chairs.

Description of Working Group:

Fibre Channel is a high speed network technology primarily used for 
storage networking (i.e., Storage Area Networks [SANs]). Two
important aspects of Fibre Channel interact with the Internet:
        - Fibre Channel can encapsulate and carry IP protocol traffic
        - Fibre Channel devices can be managed via SNMP

The Internet and Management Support for Storage WG (imss) is chartered 
to address two areas, specifically:
        - IPv4 over Fibre Channel has been specified in RFC 2625. A
          corresponding specification for IPv6 is needed.
        - An initial Fibre Channel Management MIB has been developed by
          the IP Storage (ips) WG; extensions are needed to encompass
          management of additional aspects of Fibre Channel, such
          as zoning.

In the future, other storage related MIBs for other storage transports 
such as INCITS T10 Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) or SCSI command specific 
MIBs may be proposed. This group would work with the appropriate 
technical committee(s) in a manner similar to that described for INCITS 
T11 below.

As Fibre Channel standardization is handled by the INCITS T11 Technical
Committee (http://www.t11.org), a close working relationship with T11 
is essential to the WG's success. In particular:
      - The IPv6 over Fibre Channel specification will be based on
        draft-desanti-ipv6-over-fibre-channel-02.txt. This draft
        was originally developed within a T11 study group and T11
        has officially recommended this draft to the IETF.
      - The WG will not standardize management of Fibre Channel  
        features ahead of their incorporation into appropriate T11 
        Fibre Channel standards.
      - The WG will work closely with T11, specifically Task Group 
        T11.5, on the functionality and structure of the MIBs it      
        develops for management of Fibre Channel.

In addition to working closely with the INCITS T11 Technical Committee, 
this Working Group will work closely with IETF IPv6 Working Group as 
appropriate. In particular, the IPv6 Working Group will be kept 
informed on the progress and status of the IPv6 over Fibre Channel 
specification. The IMSS Working Group Last Call announcement will be 
cross-posted to the IPv6 WG mailing list.

Goals and Milestones:

Dec 03 Submit IPv6 over Fibre Channel draft to IESG for consideration
                     as Proposed Standard
Aug 04 Work with T11.5 to determine what additional Fibre Channel MIBs
                     are needed.
Oct 04 Submit Fibre Channel Domain Manager MIB to IESG for consideration
                     as Proposed Standard
Oct 04 Submit Fibre Channel Name Server MIB to IESG for consideration
                     as Proposed Standard
Jan 05 Submit Extensions for Fibre Channel Interfaces MIB to IESG for
                     consideration as Proposed Standard
Jan 05 Review working group charter and determine what additional work,
                     if any, should be undertaken by working group.

On the IPS list, Mallikarjun asked:

> Could you please recommend the most optimal course
> of action to request and enhance the WG charter?

IETF being IETF, the world of "rough consensus and
running code", I have no idea what "the most optimal
course of action" would be, or whether it even exists :-).

The scope of an IETF WG's activities and the items on
which it works are managed by the Area Directors and
the IESG via the WG's charter, among other means.  My
understanding of the Transport ADs' views is that the
IP Storage WG has been very successful in what the WG
set out to do, and the time has come to finish up the
current work, declare victory and move on (with the WG
either going dormant or being concluded).  Of course the
ADs always reserve the right to change their minds based
on new information, etc., and my understanding may be
less than perfect.

The people advocating addition of work on iSCSI over RDMA
seem to be spending a lot of energy on where the work should
be done (process) and much less on whether and why it should
be done (technical merits).  In my experience, these two topics
are best pursued in the opposite order.  Specifically, the first
decision (ADs and IESG as appropriate) should be whether the
work is to be done and with what scope; if that is decided
in the affirmative, then matters of where and how can then
be worked out in a reasonable fashion.

Given this, I do have some advice to offer:
(1) A promising path towards undertaking iSCSI over RDMA work
	in the IETF involves a BOF, e.g., in Seoul.  Those
	interested in such a BOF should approach the Transport
	Area Directors about organizing and holding one (but
	first read the material on BOFs in RFC 2418).  By the
	time of the Seoul meeting week, the rddp WG should be
	done or close to done with most of the drafts on which
	iSCSI over RDMA depends, providing a firmer foundation
	for the proposed work.
- One of the things that inclines ADs and the IESG towards
	approval of work is the existence of an open community of
	people interested in the work, the broader the better.
	IETF meeting weeks are a good opportunity to solicit
	interest in possible work towards forming/broadening such
	a community (e.g., hallway discussion).  In furtherance
	of this, in my role as RDDP WG chair I have already promised
	the iSER/DA draft authors a 5 minute slot in the RDDP WG
	meeting in Minneapolis to briefly describe what the drafts
	are about and solicit interest in working on them (e.g.,
	organize an informal meeting [aka "bar BOF"] to discuss
	further).
	
For those who are new to this topic, the iSER and DA drafts
on the topic of iSCSI over RDMA are:

Could I suggest organizing a lunch of interested people immediately
after the RDDP WG meeting on Tuesday in Minneapolis?  Scheduling an
IPS WG meeting on this short notice that would in practice be a BOF
for these drafts isn't likely (IMHO).  Also, if such a meeting were
to happen, there's a good likelihood that it would be counted against
RFC 2418's "two BOF maximum" guideline (be careful what you wish for).
In contrast, an informally organized lunch would not count as an
official BOF.

Since I left it out of my last message, those interested in work on
iSER and DA (iSCSI over RDMA) should also be consulting RFC 2418 on
working group formation as part of thinking about a future BOF.

Thanks,
--David

I am not sure how I feel about these becoming WG items... However I do
think it warrants a meeting - if only an hour on Tuesday to allow folks
to propose a charter change to include iSER/DA whatever.

We have documents
There appears to be interest based on all of the "me too" e-mails

Seems to be time to discuss this, can we get a meeting scheduled before
the Tuesday deadline ?

Bill

I also agree that iSER should be made a WG document. 

David, can you outline the process to do this?

I am curious...

Why do you think adding two deliverables to an existing WG should count
as a BOF.  Now if the work were completely unrelated to current IPS work
- I'd agree with you.  However saying, we need an RFC to discuss porting
iSCSI over a new Layer 4 (iSER) with input from an additional WG (RDDP)
as the Layer 4 protocol - is unrelated is a stretch.  In fact I would
expect the first thing for an AD to say if there was an iSER BOF is -
why isn't this in IPS ?  So my question to you is "Why don't you want to
discuss this work in IPS ?"

I see a rather strong concensus to at least discuss the iSER/DA work in
the IPS - that would be hard to ignore.  If the end result is that you
want iSCSI to go dormant/shut down - that is fine.  However I think
there is more work to be done.

Could I suggest organizing a lunch of interested people immediately
after the RDDP WG meeting on Tuesday in Minneapolis?  Scheduling an IPS
WG meeting on this short notice that would in practice be a BOF for
these drafts isn't likely (IMHO).  Also, if such a meeting were to
happen, there's a good likelihood that it would be counted against RFC
2418's "two BOF maximum" guideline (be careful what you wish for). In
contrast, an informally organized lunch would not count as an official
BOF.

Since I left it out of my last message, those interested in work on iSER
and DA (iSCSI over RDMA) should also be consulting RFC 2418 on working
group formation as part of thinking about a future BOF.

Thanks,

Please choose your words more carefully, as your message appears to ascribe
incorrect statements to me.  What I said was that calling a meeting *solely*
to discuss possible new work that is not currently on the IPS WG's approved
program of work could well count as a BOF.  I did *not* say that a BOF
is necessary to add work items because in fact a BOF is not in general
necessary for that purpose.  If the IPS WG had open technical issues in
ongoing work that already justified holding a meeting, it would be a
straightforward matter to add these drafts to the meeting agenda (as will
be done for the RDDP WG meeting, as I noted in a separate message).  OTOH,
a meeting solely to consider possible new work in the absence of open
technical issues in existing WG work items (IMHO) walks like a BOF and
quacks like a BOF ... I hope the distinction is clearer now.

I'll leave AD decisions and comments to the ADs, but I'll note that
discussion
of this work *is* taking place in IPS (i.e., on the mailing list).  I would
also strongly suggest using the word "interest" rather than "concensus" in
this sort of context.

> If the end result is that you
> want iSCSI to go dormant/shut down - that is fine.  However I think
> there is more work to be done.

As I've already said in a separate message, I think the current focus
of discussion should be on the technical merits of whether and why the
work should be done rather than where it should to be done (e.g.,
extension of IPS WG program of work vs. formation of a new WG vs. ???).

I agree. From the IPS charter:

	There is significant interest in using IP-based networks to
	transport block storage traffic. This group will pursue the
	pragmatic approach of encapsulating existing protocols, such
	as SCSI and Fibre Channel, in an IP-based transport or transports.

One of the benefits of defining block storage protocols over RDMA
is that it automatically encompasses all other reliable IP transports.

In my opinion, the current solution of specifying a complex protocol
that incorporates *many* transport features into the application
protocol is not a desirable final solution. It is a very prudent
initial solution. But the final solution should neither lock in
application layer simulation of SCTP features over TCP nor encourage
the development of ULP-specific hardware/capabilities in preference to
application neutral capabilities.

I believe it is well within the scope of a plain reading of the
current charter to continue the work to define iSCSI over SCTP
and/or RDMA. Realistically, I can think of almost no reason to
not simply lump the SCTP part under RDMA.

One of the reasons I favor working on the problem within the IETF
is that it will provide a proper forum for ensuring that iSER is
defined such that it can be deployed over iWARP/SCTP and so that
it will work on a *generic* iWARP RNIC -- not just one with a
specific model of shared receive queue.

Given the extensive amount of detailed work that is plainly
evident in the submitted drafts there is clearly interest in
this type of deployment. It certainly doesn't look to be
something they whipped up over a few lunches on their spare
time.

Now it would have been ideal if a general problem discussion
had occurred *first* within an open forum. But even if the draft
authors "jumped the gun", we should still thank them for their
work and continue the refinement process within an IETF WG,
rather than treating it as though it were something totally
unrelated to an existing WG.

The NFSv4 WG I-D on channel bindings needs review from several IETF WGs.

This I-D, draft-ietf-nfsv4-channel-bindings-00.txt, goes along with the
soon to be published draft-ietf-nfsv4-ccm-03.txt (currently: -02).

We would appreciate feedback from the Cc'ed WGs on several areas as
requested below.  Please cc the appropriate WG lists only in your
replies.

The I-D announcement is included below, including the I-D Abstract.

Thanks,

Nico


Review requests:

 - From all the cc'ed WGs, the security community in general and the
   [concluded] CAT WG mailing list:

    o Please review the generic definition of "channel bindings" in this
      I-D and the concept of "channel bindings" in general.

   (Use the CAT WG list and/or the NFSv4 WG list.)


 - From the IPSEC WG:

    o Please review the IPsec channel construction in this I-D and the
      relevant interface requirements.

    o Please review the IPsec channel bindings construction.

    (Use the IPSEC WG and/or the IPSP WG lists.)

 - From the IPSP WG:

    o Please review the IPsec channel construction in this I-D and the
      relevant interface requirements.

    (Use the IPSEC WG and/or the IPSP WG lists.)


 - From the IPS WG:

    o Please consider the channel bindings concept as a general solution
      to the problems with the iSCSI approach to security ("authenticate
      at iSCSI layer with x, y or z authentication technology, but
      delegate session integrity/confidentiality protection to IPsec").

      See the introduction (section 1) of this I-D for a description of
      the problem with the iSCSI approach to security.

      (I realize that I'm late to the iSCSI party - my goal is not to
       affect the progression of the iSCSI I-Ds to Proposed Standard and
       publication as RFCs, far from it.)

   (Use the IPS WG list.)


 - From the TLS WG:

    o Please review the construction of channel bindings to TLS channels
      given in this I-D.

   (Use the TLS WG list.)


 - From the SECSH WG:

    o Please review the construction of channel bindings to SSHv2
      channels given in this I-D.

   (Use the SECSH WG list.)


 - From the KRB WG:

    o Please review sections 3.3 and 4.5 of this I-D.

   (Use the KRB WG list.)


 - From the SASL WG:

    o Please review section 3.2 of this I-D.

   (Use the SASL WG list.)

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Network File System Version 4 Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: On the Use of Channel Bindings to Secure Channels
	Author(s)	: N. Williams
	Filename	: draft-ietf-nfsv4-channel-bindings-00.txt
	Pages		: 14
	Date		: 2003-10-23
	
This document defines and formalizes the concept of channel bindings
   to secure layers and defines the actual contents of channel bindings
   for several secure channels.

   The concept of channel bindings allows applications to prove that the
   end-points of two secure channels are the same by binding
   authentication at one network layer to the session protection
   negotiation at a lower network layer.  The use of channel bindings
   allows applications to delegate session protection to lower layers.

In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-nfsv4-channel-bindings-00.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.

Hi,
I have a question on whether digest (header and data) can appear before the FFP.
I found the same question from the archive but couldn't find the answer, could someone confirm.  Thanks.
Dan
 
An earlier email from archive:
 
I am not sure if this is the place for me to ask this question, so forgive me if I am out of line. 
Is there a difference between S5: LOGGED_IN and Full Feature Phase (a.k.a. full-feature phase in some parts of the document; it would be nice if they were all the same; I am not a regex guru)?
If so, and I understand the digest section, neither the logout or login PDU's will have digests on them. I believe this holds even after the first connection of the session, because later connections are not yet in Full Feature Phase (S5).
 
I.e. Only iSCSI op codes 0x00, 0x01, 0x02, 0x04, 0x05, 0x010, 0x1c-0x1e (maybe) for the initiator, and 0x20, 0x21, 0x22, 0x24, 0x25, 0x31, 0x32, 0x3c-0x3e (maybe), 0x3f for the target (anything not Logout or Login) will have the Digests and they must have them if stated in Login of the session?

Am I right?

TIA

Sincerely,

Randy Jennings

Yes. S6 (IN_LOGOUT) and S7 (LOGOUT_REQUESTED) are also in Full Feature
Phase. I think S8 (CLEANUP_WAIT) also would be FFP, but I'm not sure how
many PDUs get transmitted.

I think the better way to think about this is to consider when the PDU was
sent. The connection enters FFP: (initiator) after processing the Login
Response that correctly (*) transitions out of login; (target) after
sending the Login Response that transitions out of login.

(*) The initiator should make sure it is happy with the Login RSP of
course. For instance, if it hadn't set 'T' on the Login Request, it
shouldn't honor 'T' on the RSP.

As logout PDUs are sent after transitioning out of login, they should have
digests.

> I.e. Only iSCSI op codes 0x00, 0x01, 0x02, 0x04, 0x05, 0x010, 0x1c-0x1e (maybe) for the initiator, and 0x20, 0x21, 0x22, 0x24, 0x25, 0x31, 0x32, 0x3c-0x3e (maybe), 0x3f for the target (anything not Logout or Login) will have the Digests and they must have them if stated in Login of the session?

Not quite. Think of digests as each controled by a boolean, which is set
at the end of login processing (if digests were negotiated of course). If
the header_digest boolean is set, all PDUs must have a header. If the
data_digest boolean is set, all PDUs with data segments must have data
digests.

The difference between the two views is a matter of how the receive logic
is built. If you're in FFP and doing header digests, you evaluate the
digest before you look at the opcode. You have to do this because until
you know the header digest is ok, you can't trust the opcode!

Think about the case where transmission corruption changed the opcode for
a PDU, and made an FFP-phase PDU look like a login PDU. If we looked at
the opcode before the header digest and made a decision based on opcode,
we would look at this as a Login PDU, not pull the digest out of the
command stream, and look at potentially erronious ahs and data segment
length values. And then start processing commands that may not have been
commands. :-)

That's how an initiator and a target need to think about this.

That said, I know that Data Transit make protocol analyzers. For an
analyzer, I think it's fine to know that Login PDUs don't have digests,
and everything else does.

The only place this makes a difference is the corner case where an
initiator sends a Login Request PDU after FFP. If header digests have been
negotiated, it needs to add a header digest, then the target will reject
the PDU. ;-)  Since this is an error case, if an analyzer doesn't carry
state for the whole connection, it's ok for it to not know FFP and then
just make a choice based on opcode.

Ethereal does this, and it's fine.

Take care,

Bill
