Are you saying that we need a use case analysis of
the abundance of possible MANET scenarios?

I'm not sure. I can't publish all my scenario's here.
But for sure the baccelli draft does not support all of them.
That is why I asked questions on "all" "general case" etc.

I have a few real world use cases by hand that could be made public.
Maybe I'll write those down some day. It would show the need for
multi-homing. An interesting one: Regional fire brigades: small 
MANETs connected to Internet with ADSL, 3G and two satcom systems.
It is deployed in a couple of months. Any idea on addressing model,
without NAPT / NAT66 or tunnels?
IPv6 is not realistic here and today anyway. But it would fit a nice
goal: an attached MANET without NAT or tunnels. And with a little 
effort on replacing default gateways, it would support multi-homing.

Regards, Teco

All,

Following the excellent example of [mext], I thought it might be a  
good idea to do some of the administrative tasks done in advance.

The [autoconf] session is scheduled:

		o	Monday, nov. 9, 2009 at 1740-1940
			Arcacia West

We're looking for volunteers to help with the following tasks:

		o	Minute taking (two volunteers)

		o	Jabber Scribe (one volunteer)

		o	Jabber "Speaker" (one volunteer)
			(for taking questions/comments on Jabber and relaying over the mike).

Considering that we expect quite a few to be following the meeting  
remotely this time, these three tasks are of paramount importance to  
the WG, and volunteer assistance will be greatly appreciated by  
everybody.

We have in the past had both excellent minute takers and Jabber  
scribes, and we hope that there will be also excellent volunteers for  
these tasks at this meeting.

Please do let the chairs know asap that (not if!) you are willing to  
help out with these important tasks,

Thanks.

Thomas

Dear all,

The agenda for the [autoconf] meeting in Hiroshima is on-line:

	http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/09nov/agenda/autoconf.txt

If you have a presentation on the agenda, please think of sending your  
slides (if possible in PDF, such that they're readable by all) to the  
chairs well in advance such that we can stick them on-line also in  
advance of the meeting.

Note that we're meeting Monday afternoon!

As we expect a fair number of remote attendees, it would be good to  
have the slides on-line sooner rather than later. Also, it allows us  
all to prepare well for a productive meeting.

Thanks,

Thomas

Whether or not the former applies to me, I have taken some
minutes in Autoconf at some past meetings. But I won't be in
Hiroshima I'm afraid, and the time difference makes remote
attendance not good from Europe (though not as bad as for
the MANET meeting). Hope to see some of you in Anaheim.

It's going to be 9h40-11h40am Monday November 9th in France - sorry, I
don't think I can jabber scribe at that time, office hours being much
demanding Monday morning.

All,

On October 22 we asked the WG, via autoconf@ietf.org, on advice on how  
to best make progress. Specifically, the question was:

> opportunity to ask the WGs opinion on how to progress. If you have

About 20 or so responded to this question, with roughly 70% of the  
respondents supporting proceeding with draft-ietf-autoconf-adhoc-addr- 
model as baseline for future progress.

We therefore observe that:

	o	There's CONSENSUS for continuing with draft-ietf-autoconf-adhoc- 
addr-model as a
		BASELINE for future progress.

The key word in the above is "BASELINE". During the discussions on the  
list in the past 3 weeks or so, a couple of issues were raised that  
need to be duly addressed, by inclusion in the document or by  
discussion and consensus to not include. We're trying to summarize  
those issues below:

	o	Link Local Addresses

			-	As a reminder, after Stockholm, consensus was established to NOT  
have
				[autoconf] configure Link Local Addresses, and to encourage that  
other
				addresses, which [autoconf] should develop methods for obtaining and
				ensure properties of, be used.

				In draft-ietf-autoconf-adhoc-addr-model, this is reflected by  
stating that
				in MANETs, Link Local Addresses are "discouraged". This phrasing has
				on the list been suggested inappropriate, we should consider  
alternatives.

				Below, an extract of that which was the essence of that discussion  
in
				Stockholm.

				The objective was to state that as [autoconf] does not do anything  
to generate
				and preserve properties of  Link Local addresses, for the network  
parts where
				[autoconf] is applicable, it is recommended to in these parts of  
the network use
				addresses which [autoconf] *does* generate and ensure properties of.

				In other words:  "no guarantees are made by [autoconf] for LL  
addresses, so 	
				using those may break stuff. Use at your own risk. We RECOMMEND  
using other
				addresses with properties ensured by [autoconf]"

			-	Issues which were brought up include (i) if LL addresses  
generated from MAC
				addresses are "unique enough", (ii) compatibility with other  
protocols which
				stipulate the use of LL address. and (iii) the definition of DAD  
as given in RFC4862


	o	Interface Definition / Description

			-	As a reminder, prior to our past rechartering, we went through a  
large
				effort in trying to describe "MANET Interfaces", and fell short of  
the
				goal of doing so satisfactory. The rechartering was, in part, done  
with
				a recognition of this fact, and re-scoped [autoconf] to consider  
*a* addressing
				model for which there's an existence proof that it works.

				In draft-ietf-autoconf-adhoc-addr-model, this is reflected by  
stating
				"undefined connectivity properties". This phrasing has on the list  
been
				suggested insufficient.

				We should therefore consider alternatives/expansion of the  
phrasing hereof
				- but, we insist, avoid going back down the rathole of trying to  
produce an
				"interface model" or "link model". We're not chartered to do that,  
and past
				efforts have shown that to be a difficult task to do (especially  
on a short
				timescale)

				The authors of the (now expired) I-D,

						draft-baccelli-multi-hop-wireless-communication

				have kindly accepted to launch these discussions by a presentation  
in Hiroshima.
				

	o	Prefix lengths on the interfaces that [autoconf] is concerned with
	
			-	As a reminder, there has (long ago, even before the rechartering)  
been
				consensus on the use of /32 and /128 prefix lengths for *these*  
interfaces.
				There are ways of using shorter prefixes, but again, the re- 
chartering had
				as premiss to scope [autoconf] to consider *a* addressing model  
for which
				there is an existence proof that it works.

				In draft-ietf-autoconf-adhoc-addr-model, this is reflected in  
section 4 (the
				justification) and in section 6 (the recommendation - a "should"  
for /32 and
				/128).

				We should therefore consider if there's a need for further  
explanation (section 4)
				for this recommendation, as well as verify and handle any  
potential conflicts with
				RFC4291 (if any).

We plan to discuss these in Hiroshima, and to issue consensus calls  
shortly after the [autoconf] session in Hiroshima has concluded and  
minutes have been posted. The objective is closing these issues  
quickly. We will want to establish consensus on these issues such that  
draft-ietf-autoconf-adhoc-addr-model can be considered "done", come  
early December.

The meeting agenda is online at http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/09nov/agenda/autoconf.txt

Ulrich volunteered to be either minute-taker or Jabber speaker. We  
need still 3 volunteers (Jabber scribe, minute takers, ...)

Volunteers are *greatly* appreciated.

Hi all,

To show loyalty to WIDE project (IETF 76 host) as a WIDE member,
I would like to encourage you to use the RFID tag in our AUTOCONF  
meeting.

I expect all of the speakers and folks standing at mic activate RFID and
use RFID for showing your name and affiliation on the screen.

IF you plan to speak up during the meeting, don't forget activating  
your tag and
touching reader before your speak.
You will get a priority pass to ask questions. (kidding)

If you have activation problem, there is a help desk at the 3rd floor.

thanks
ryuji

About using exclusively "off-link" prefixes (not on-link prefixes) to
ensure we can use "/128" prefixes and in agreement with rfc4291.

But LL addresses are by definition on-link.  Do we forbid them?

Do we recommend "off-link" prefixes but still allow LLs _and_ "on-link"
prefixes?

Or do we simply MUST "/128" and off-link (and implicitely rule out
"on-link" and LL).

Alex

Eg NBMA links doesn't mean AUTOCONF, so the current text in RFCs 
excluding DAD in eg NBMA links doesn't apply.

In AUTOCONF we don't know what kinds of links we use. (so no NBMA, no 
not NBMA).

There are protocols which _require_ use of LLs.

OSPF is one.

LLs are not an illness.

I have run IPv6 over many kinds of links.  LLs are always there over:
serial, ethernet, wifi, bluetooth, 3g, umts - many kinds.

This is running code.  This is practical.  This is implementation.

I agree with Ronald about not wanting to go do surgery on the IPv6
stacks to make them stop using using LLs.

I don't know what you (the group) are talking about when going against
LLs on all fronts.

Nobody here want to prevent anyone from using LL...

it's just that the normal IPv6 LL mechanisms including DAD will not give yo=
u=20
guarantied good result in a mesh network.

So either you have to live with the fact that your LL might conflicting or =
you=20
need a better algorithm to get them (better than DAD).

Hello,

As a occasional lurker ... I'm hoping someone could point me to the most ap=
plicable draft document to support a very near term application of this gro=
ups work in consumer devices.  The basic problem statement is:

 - environment is 802.11 IBSS with security
    - multicast is not available to all devies until=20
      after they have been "discovered" in some other manner
 - provide some form of accelerated discover for the L2=20
   addresses in the network
 - Assign unique IPv4 addresses
 - Optionally assign unique IPv6 addresses

Paul


PS - I'm only an occasioanl lurker, and in attempting to read the mail list=
 and drafts I could not get a clear view of an answer ... so please excuse =
this post if it's a na=EFve question=20

Henning, but DAD is not a mechanism specific to LLs.  It is a mechanism 
specific to all current addresses.  In this sense - do you also discard 
all other addresses, like globals?

I want LLs to be treated as first-class citizens.

LLs should be used in the first steps towards configuring other 
addresses.  They are very practical - always there, on many types of 
links, prior to receiving any packet for auto-configuration.

Even links which have not specified an IETF-blessed means for forming an 
Interface Identifier do offer implemented link-local addresses (I mean 
e.g. USB).

Otherwise, if not using LLs, you're going to be using the unspecified 
addresses "::" in the src field of the initial packets configuring 
wider-than-local scoped addresses (globals or ULAs).

The uniqueness requirements for LLs are easier to satisfy than 
uniqueness for across-two-hops, or across-MANET: they're supposed unique 
on the link scope, not wider.  That is easier to ensure, with DAD or 
with any other new detection of duplicated addresses mechanism.

That said, I will stay silent for a while.

You mean link-layer multicast?  Or IP multicast?

I am asking because if there is no link-layer multicast then IPv6 as it
is won't work in no way.  I am not sure what you mean by "discovered in
other manner".

> - provide some form of accelerated discover for the L2 addresses in

In IPv6, maybe tweaking the ND timers will do it accelerated. (not sure
what you mean by accelerating, what is slow?).

> - Assign unique IPv4 addresses

If you need IPv4 link-local addresses, they're already there.

> - Optionally assign unique IPv6 addresses

Well, if you need IPv6 link-local addresses on this setting - they're
already there.

If you need global addresses then is it feasible to configure them
hardcoded on each device?

Or adminstratively decide that _one_ of the devices is _the_ Router
sending them an RA and being the DHCPv4 Server, and hardcode the
prefixes in dhcpd.conf and radvd.conf.  Probably the Router is
the same machine which connects to the Internet too?

What do the others think?

Link - with encryption, AES-CCMP does not allow a common group key, so broa=
dcast/multicast is not available until after a device has been discovered a=
nd the per-STA multicast keys are exchanged.  Of course - IP layer will als=
o not work until have the network has bootstrapped.

Accelerated in this context is looking for individual devices to give hints=
 about possible neighbors.  At L2, you could wait for many beacon periods a=
nd discover most of the peer devices (except a few hidden or in power save =
or temporarily absent).  Beacons are not reliable, active probing is not vi=
able, we're already starting to use Public Action frames to discover "awake=
" or "selected" devices. =20

Basically - every device needs to store what it thinks is the composition o=
f the network and share this when requested.  At a minimum, this is L2 memb=
ership.  It could also include L3 addresses explicitly or implicitly.

There are some proprietary implementations of the above ... a standard woul=
d be nice.  I'm currently writing such specifications in L2 organizations (=
Wi-Fi Alliance).  I'll likely extend it to some L3 discovery if there is no=
thing available from this working group.

Additional signaling is required to ensure address uniqueness. IPv4 link-lo=
cal addresses do not work as defined for multicast challenged networks.

So there is not an answer.

Note - this is causing Link Local addresses to NOT be used in some BSS appl=
ications also.  Not all devices will be available at any one time.  Mobile =
networks are not consistent and prevent multicast based discovery.

Humm ... of course ... Thanks for the reminder :-)  I think the groups I'm =
working with never consider this ... IPv4 is here now and we never get arou=
nd to future proofing by getting IPv6 and IPv6 addresses.  These are L2 gro=
ups ... so there has not been much in L3 definitions or planning.  It looks=
 like I may need to change this ... I'll take in some IPv6 requirements and=
 see what happens. =20

I really do appreciate the reminder ... we're right at a point where at lea=
st having some L2 negotiation ability to indicate the L3 type will be of va=
lue (I believe this in 802.11u or 802.11v).  I'll work to get this inserted=
.

Wi-Fi Direct is doing something like this and needs to have DHCP.  It does =
create real pro0blems for fail-over and "real" mobility (i.e. unpredictable=
 coming and going of devices)

IBSS solutions still need a IPv4 link local address mechanism that works ..=
. likely by device caching of peer l2 addresses.

Hello Paul,

You could read our workgroup draft. Any comment is appreciated.
http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-autoconf-adhoc-addr-model-00.txt

With having guaranteed unique MAC addresses, IPv6 addresses are easy to=20
configure. Link-locals should be there, but does not provide multi-hop
connectivity. If needed, you could use ULA prefix, this can be generated
locally on each node. For globals, this WG does not have a solution yet, =

but there are a number of proposals.

When running NHDP on P2P link to the beaconing nodes, you will get
fast neighbor learning. If all nodes set up such channels, the beaconing
nodes are aware of their 2-hop neighbors. And then the next step, the
beaconing
nodes try to set up NHDP to all their 2-hop neighbors. This will make =
the
local 2-hop topology tables pretty good populated. Adjustments on NHDP
could be needed, to make this work.

Teco.

Thanks Teco,

Some good guidelines ... the /32 subnet clearly helps the scenarios I'm des=
cribing.  Now ... on Link Local, I agree that a locally generated LL addres=
s that is subsequently checked solely for uniqueness using multicast techni=
ques should be avoided. =20

You may want to glance at: http://www.wi-fi.org/news_articles.php?f=3Dmedia=
_news&news_id=3D909

Wi-Fi is evolving rapidly ... the groups that are doing this work are not v=
ery fluent in L3 addressing issues.  Some odd scenarios might start to appe=
ar with these new technologies - like the same L2 address on multiple BSSs.=
 =20

The guidelines are good, but a specific protocol solution is required to pr=
ovide unique IPv4 addresses in a distributed manner.

My planned approach will likely be to:

Have every device keep track of peers - and share in a distributed manner
	1) On first enrollment between two devices the master (registrar)
         picks it's IP address and gives the list of network MAC addresses
         and IP addresses to the new enrollee ...=20
      2) Network size is limited and addresses are discarded using LRU rule
      3) As a STA contacts other STA for the first time (post WPA),=20
         the same information is exchanged between the pair of devices.
      4) Local table of peers is updated based on this exchange
      5) Multicast table validation might be viable (optional) after a=20
         STA becomes fully associated with a set of peers and=20
         limited multicast is possible.

Regards,


Paul

Hi all,

	During the last meeting, it was said several times that even if the
uniqueness of link-local was not an issue, LLs have other problems that
make it reasonable to discourage their use in MANETs. Can anybody please
be so kind of summarising those for me? this is not that obvious to me.

	Thanks in advance.

	Carlos

Hi,

	In addition to my fundamental concerns that I've with this document and
that I've shared in different ways (I can do it again if considered
useful), I have a bunch of other not so fundamental ones:

	- Section 3: "The configuration proposed by this model is applicable to
any router's IP interface" --> I wonder if this should be changed to
"The configuration proposed by this model is applicable to any router's
IP MANET interface" or something like that. By saying "any router's IP
interface" it may seem that the configuration of "non-MANET" interfaces
would also follow the guidelines provided by the document (i.e., /128,
no uniqueness ensured for LLs, etc.). I'd prefer to explicitly state
that the model is for MANET interfaces.

	- Section 4: "no two such interfaces in the network should be
configured with the same subnet prefix" --> this at least conflicts with
LLs. (I'm not bringing up __here__ again the LL issue, just pointing out
that the document should be revised to avoid this kind of contradictory
statements: "Note that while an IPv6 link-local address is assigned to
each interface as per [RFC4291]" and "no two such interfaces in the
network should be configured with the same subnet prefix".

	- Section 6.1: "These limitations are further exacerbated by the
smaller pool of IPv4 link-local addresses to choose from and thus
increased reliance on DAD" --> if link-locals are not considered and
"normal" DAD is not considered suitable for MANETs, I think this
sentence makes no sense and should just simply be removed.

	- Section 6.2: "Routers cannot forward any packet with link-local
source or destination address to other links..." --> this is rather
obvious and not particular of MANETs, why is this described in the
document?

	- Section 6.2: "There is no mechanism to ensure that IPv6 link-local
addresses are unique across multiple links, hence they can not be used
to reliably identify routers." --> this is not particular of MANETs
either, why is in the document?

	- Appendix A: "MANET Link Model" --> I don't believe in the existence
of a "MANET Link", and I don't see its relevance in an __address
autoconfiguration__ document. Repeating myself here... I think this
document and some discussions in the ML deviate from the charter goal:
we need to come up with a practical ____addressing____ architecture.
IMHO, we have been discussing instead about "IP over MANET", which to me
is a rather different thing (well, to me it doesn't even exist, if we
consider L3 MANETs).

	- Appendix A: "it remains to be determined whether or not the scope of
AUTOCONF includes applications other than routing protocols running on
the router" --> this is a very important question that we have brought
in the meeting. I have my personal opinion, but this is irrelevant,
since there seem to be a consensus (I wasn't aware of it, but Thomas
stated otherwise). I'd like to ask the chairs to bring this to the ML to
close this issue.

	This is all from my side for the time being.

	Thanks,

	Carlos

Then you should say so - "off-link".

But in 6lowpan-ND draft you mention that "off-link" has no clear meaning
on non-transitive links.  If "off-link" has no clear meaning, and
"on-link" has no meaning either, then we risk big trouble because these
terms are heavily used by ND.

And you define "non-local".  But that word risks coliding with the
established "link-local".  Another big trouble.

Couldn't we just improve that link definition and make it be
deterministic (no A-B-C problem and yes multicast support as offered by
802.15.5)?

If we did so - then we wouldn't have to say that "off-link" has no clear
meaning, and we subsequently wouldn't have to define the terms
"non-local"/"local" which risk coliding with the established "link-local".

Well, AUTOCONF should recommend the use of host-based routes if that's
their intention.  Host-based routes don't break anything if deployed on 
small scale.  An exact-match search in a routing table is easily 
implementable with current tables and existing "longest-prefix" match 
searches: just enter "/128" destinations in the destination fields of 
that table and it works.

But AUTOCONF please don't recommend assignment of unique "/128" prefixes
on interfaces - that breaks too many things: fe80::/10 is not /128 and
worse, it's not unique and its mandatory; using SLAAC with any prefix 
longer than /64 won't work for IPv6-over-802154 and many other links, 
and more.

If AUTOCONF wants to put a "/128" prefix in an RA L==0 "off-link", then
(1) it should acknowledge the link definition of RFC4861 such that
"link" makes sense in "off-link" and (2) in no case should it configure
that "/128" prefix on any interface (because rfc4861 "off-link" means
the address is not assigned to any interface on specified _link_).

If AUTOCONF can't agree that "link" is what RFC4861 says it to be, then
"off-link" makes no sense, "link-local" makes no sense, and so on.

I can't understand "off-link" without first understanding "link".

Ignore "link" in any one one paragraph below and you break too many
other things:

"   link        - a communication facility or medium over which nodes
                  can
                  communicate at the link layer, i.e., the layer
                  immediately below IP.  Examples are Ethernets (simple
                  or bridged), PPP links, X.25, Frame Relay, or ATM
                  networks as well as Internet-layer (or higher-layer)
                  "tunnels", such as tunnels over IPv4 or IPv6 itself"

"   Currently, IPv6 continues the IPv4 model in that a subnet prefix is
    associated with one link."

"   All interfaces are required to have at least one Link-Local unicast
    address (see Section 2.8 for additional required addresses)."

"   off-link    - the opposite of "on-link"; an address that is not
                  assigned to any interfaces on the specified link."

"   The details of forming interface identifiers are defined in the
     appropriate "IPv6 over <link>" specification, such as "IPv6 over
     Ethernet" [ETHER], and "IPv6 over FDDI" [FDDI]."

"     scop is a 4-bit multicast scope value used to limit the scope of
       the multicast group.  The values are as follows:

          0  reserved
          1  Interface-Local scope
          2  Link-Local scope"

Or are you about to build a new Internet here in AUTOCONF?

One of the comments from [autoconf] this time was to adopt a phrasing =20=

of "has no on-link prefix", as suggested by Dave Thaler, Sit tight, I =20=

think that an updated I-D should be forthcoming shortly.
Zach, if you have any additional comments, please do raise them also =20
on [autoconf].

Alex,

(added autoconf to CC)

Now I see what you were concerned about below. Yes I agree, the =20
wording of how we assign addresses is slightly different. We are using =20=

host-based routes with exact match. As the autoconf document uses a =20
SHOULD here, 6lowpan-nd can still use a /64 advertised throughout the =20=

LoWPAN to form addresses. It would be nice if autoconf could update =20
their wording somewhat, so let's see if that is possible.

Some comments below.

I meant interface of course (we usually just have one)...

Not exactly. We only use the advertised /64 to form the address. After =20=

that we assume everything (except link-local) is off-link. Therefore =20
we don't really assign the prefix to the interface. So in practice the =20=

end result is the same as assigning a /128. Right? So this is just a =20
wording difference.

So the autoconf text should say that you can should a /128 or a /64 =20
when using SLAAC to make that explicitly OK?

The idea is that you actually could configure any IP interface like =20
that - but that it would be silly to do so if one has an interface =20
with "determined connectivity properties". This should be captured in 3:

    The configuration proposed by this model is applicable to any
    router's IP interface.  It specifies IP addresses and IP subnet
    prefixes to be configured on network interfaces.

    When more specific assumptions can be made regarding the =20
connectivity
    between interfaces, these SHOULD be considered when configuring
    subnet prefixes.

Especially, the last paragraph captures that I think.

this is a good point.

I liked Thaler's description of what we needed as ADD (Address =20
Duplication Detection), in order to not confuse with other =20
terminology ;)

This is included as one of the reasons why LLs are of no particular =20
use within a MANET: they can not be used as source IP for a datagram =20
intended to be received by any other interface even within the MANET.

Same reason as above.

Well, I believe that as someone said at the mike, that an addressing =20
model is rather less interesting unless it enables running actual =20
applications. I believe that we had a relatively simple way of putting =20=

this discussed at the meting, but we will see shortly (see below).

I believe that was the plan from the [autoconf] meeting to bring a =20
number of things forward. I've gotten the raw notes from our scribes, =20=

and will edit those to post meeting minutes on the 'list, then close =20
any issues with everybody being well-informed ;)

Hello Carlos,

Where is the link on which the link-local is local?
Do you want it to be the whole MANET?  For any
two nodes X and Y, not within range, how does
X decide if Y is on-link?  Do you require multi-hop
signaling for on-link operations?  If so, how do you
justify forwarding a link-local address?  They're
not supposed to be forwarded, are they?

I'm not saying these questions are impossible to
answer.  I think they are hard to answer, and that
the answers serve only to fragment a solution space
that could otherwise usefully be applicable to a much
wider class of ad hoc networks.  Furthermore, your
answer might be quite unlikely to resemble another
person's answer.  Furthermore, certain popular
classes of answers implicitly suppose an unscalable
volume of signaling.

I really really think there should be a design team
to do link-local.

Regards,
Charlie P.

The point is that you _could_ use the constrained prefix assignment model
even for "non-MANET" interfaces.  But the constraint would inhibit 
aggregation
which is obviously useful in more non-MANET networks.  Nevertheless, except
for scalability, networks which COULD have aggregatable addresses would
still thereby be made to work without address aggregation.

I thought the point was to supply justification in case anyone
might ask why the prefix constraint was disfavoring the aggregation
of addresses into a common link.

This is likely the heart of the problem.  A lot of people including me
have been running IP over MANET [perforce, layer-3] for years.
Then a great deal of controversy has been generated by people who
don't believe it can be done.  Which seems to suggest that they don't
believe the working group is viable in the first place.

Thomas, Dave - what do you mean by "on-link" prefix?  What do you mean 
by "link"?

"on-link" prefix is understood in settings where "link" is understood. 
Settings where "link" is not understood, "on-link" makes no sense 
whatsoever, as "off-link" doesn't either.

On a "link" as rfc4861 understands it?  Or on a "link" which has ABC 
problem?

Is it correct to say AUTOCONF prefix is not configured on a "link having 
A-B-C problem"?   Or is it more correct to say that AUTOCONF prefix is 
not configured on a "link which does not have the A-B-C problem"?

Both are correct?

So you say on-link prefix is inappropriate on links we don't understand.

It doesn't imply off-link prefix is appropriate on such links.

BEcause "off-link" is already defined: "an address that is not assigned 
to any interfaces on the specified link", i.e. a link which is understood.

If the link is not understood then we can't say whether somethhing is on 
it or off it.  It may be on it, and also off it.

Charles, I do believe IP can run on highly dynamic network topologies.
I trust you when you and Thomas say you did it.

Just say precisely how you did it.

For example, state when the experience was with IPv4 (not IPv6) and
don't make extrapolations from one to another.

Wireless link problems - yes, then state at least which link technology.

Host-based routes?  YEs, say it so, say how many nodes in the network,
say the number of entries in the routing tables and the prefixlen of the
destination field of each entry ("128"); but don't make it into a
recommendation of unique "/128" off-link prefix which makes no 4861ish
sense to me.

Your implementation didn't use IPv6 link-local addresses?  Ok, but don't
make that a prefered case recommendation.

State how DAD was there but overlooked.

Is DAD consuming too much bandwidth?  How much?

State how MLD and MDNS were there too and overlooked.

Were _some_ addresses manually configured? - if yes say it so.

Was there a topology?  Picture it.

Were there addresses on interfaces?

Were there some entries in some routing table entries?  Some connected
routes?

Were there some default routes?  Some ICMP Redirects?  They're paramount
importance.

Some virtual interface?

Now - are all and each of these things consensual between people having
had MANET experience?  I don't believe so.

It seems to me it is not a matter of having had the right or wrong
experience, just report as it was, and don't claim it to be consensual.
  We know it is not consensus.  I have seen the same statements of having
run MANET for years by people with _very_ different oppinions about
_how_ these MANETs should run.

Just don't make these sound as a consensual recommendation,  as the
document currently does - they break other things.  And don't export
these recommendations (avoid LLs, use unique "/128" off-link prefixes)
to other WGs, they make no sense there - their current documents already
fall outside the core of your recommendations.

(when I write "you" it's about the AUTOCONF practical addressing model
draft authorship).

I posted LL text for the draft, with explanation of the LL problem.
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/autoconf/current/msg01828.html

Here another copy:
   Routers cannot forward any packets with link-local source or
   destination addresses to other links (as per [RFC4291]). In general,
   routers do not forward such packets. This would limit connectivity
   between MANET nodes. For this reason, link-local addresses shall be=20
   used only for protocols that require one-hop limited delivery of =
packets.

This is the only argument on not using LLs that withstands any =
criticism.
Even Alex can agree on this text. Alex?

Teco.

Somewhat agreed. The problem is wording: what is MANET interface?
I say: interface with MANET protocol running. Then your suggestion
is also not completely correct. Interface to Wireless Link? Also
not completely correct, as there are many wireless links that do not=20
have problems with on-link prefixes.

Agreed.

Yes, we should remove all references to DAD. It is to controversial.

See my other posting. This is an important argument, as in the normal
case the link is expected to be somewhat stable, and there is an
interface down trigger to signal the link down. On xxx interfaces,
there is no such a trigger. And when nodes get out of range,
connections using LLs are affected while connections with non-LLs
are not.

We should remove this argument.

With having the draft-baccelli-autoconf-adhoc-addr-model, we can close
this issue.

I think the consensus is that there are applications in a MANET. The =
MANET=20
is not solely for running MANET protocols... .
It is also in the charter:
  It is required that such models do not cause problems for ad
  hoc-unaware parts of the system, such as standard applications running
  on an ad hoc node or regular Internet nodes attached to the ad hoc
  nodes.

The link is defined by the topological area within a packet with an IPv4
TTL or IPv6 Hop Limit of 1 can be delivered. The area is given by the
radio-range coverage of the wireless technology used.

No, link-locals are not forwarded. I think I've already said this, I
don't want to change the semantics of link-locals, I just want to be
able to keep using them in MANETs.

Well, this is solution space and I tend to disagree.

My point is that since some of the recommendations provided by the
document may imply modifications to standard protocols (such as
"discourage LLs --> modify/not use ND), doing this on regular interfaces
may affect regular hosts, and this is not allowed by the charter. I'd
prefer a different writing so autoconf addressing model refers only to
MANET interfaces (I know this term is not used in the document...).

Fine, there have been also other terms proposed in the past. Whatever
that makes the text clearer.

This is true for any kind of network. I don't see the value of that
text. Nobody is asking, AFAIK, to change the LL semantics (well, but
maybe those that discourage their use :-p).

Protocols should be designed to work without such triggers (actually
there are many cases win which these triggers are not available, even in
wired networks).

Well, this depends. If your IP one hop neighbour gets out of range, you
need to find a new one. If you are talking about TCP-alike connections
(connection oriented protocols), I agree, but in this case it is a bad
idea to use link-locals anyway, IMHO.

Thanks,

Carlos

I think the point of aggregation of addresses into a common link is more
an architectural issue, than an addressing issue. If we had agreed on
using an L2/L2.5 MANET model, then we could talk about this (and we
would not need autoconf probably). Once we decided to go for L3 MANETs
(which I agree), I think using the same prefix for different links is
not very appropriate. That's why I don't see the value in the text I
pointed out above.

I agree with your comment. Just to avoid misunderstandings, I believe in
running IP over MANETs, but I also think it can be done without
modifying IP (but only minor parts required for example to avoid IP
address duplicates). Another clarification, I've also run IP over MANET
for several years, though my experience is much limited than yours and
others in this WG.

My WLAN in IBSS mode is an example of an exception.
We need a term (or repeating long text) for "an interface to
other interfaces with undetermined connectivity".

So we all agree that non-LLs are needed.
And working on that first, with /128 prefixes in the routing protocol.
This by configuring /128 on the interface, or override the off-link 
configured shorter prefix.

An exception of what? I think I'm missing something or getting lost or

Using /128 in the routing protocol does not necessarily imply
configuring /128 on the interface, does it?

It is about misuse of "MANET interface" or "interface to Wireless Link".
Both uses are not correct for what we intend to say.

MANET interface: interface with MANET running.
Could be Ethernet.

Interface to Wireless Link.
Could be WLAN IBSS.

OK. But the implication looks obvious to me.
I work with implementations that "manipulate" the configured prefix.
In my use case with attached hosts (ad hoc L2 radio device),
I need the HNA to get the L2 device reachable. Silly configuration,
and an example why I don't like the maximum prefix recommendation.
It results in implementations that doesn't deal with my use case.

Nevertheless, I think is a good idea to support configured maximum=20
prefix lengths. It is also wise to support shorter prefixes as well.

Teco - I agree with your suggested text above about LLs.  It does make 
sense - it reflects the only restriction of LLs - they're valid on a 
single link.  I support inserting it in the draft.

If you're interested in improving it...

When you say that this would limit connectivity between MANET nodes you 
practically assume that a MANET is _not_ a single link, but several 
links.  We may need to define what a link is.

Up to now we have two supposed definitions of links, which are 
contradictory: the 4861 link and the ABC-problem link.

If the MANET is made of several 4861-links then your statement above is 
fully true, I fully agree with you.  If you put that in the text, like 
"would limit connectivity between MANET nodes (assuming a MANET is made 
of several 4861-links)".

If OTOH the MANET is made of a single 4861-link then the connectivity 
between MANET nodes is not restricted by the use of LLs.

(for example the 6lowpan "route-over" scenarios consider the network is
  a single link).

Finally, if the MANET is made of 1..n ABC-links then I am not sure the 
the application of LLs restricts the communication between MANET nodes, 
because the ABC-links are not understood.

The "ABC-problem" link is the normal case in a MANET. Without this kind of=

configuration, you don't have a MANET.

I see now. In my understanding, we can say that the model is for
applicable to MANET interfaces, and then use the same kind of text that
is already in the draft to say that for those MANET interfaces with well
known characteristics/properties (e.g., wired Ethernet) some
restrictions/consideration of the addressing model might not apply or
something like this...

Thanks,

Carlos

Well, given that importantce, one would need to define it rather precisely.

I understand somehow the ABC problem as it has been presented until now, 
with respect to the hidden terminal problem, and the C. Perkins 
Hiroshima presentation.

However, it is not clear what it means with respect to the IPv6 concepts 
such as the link-local scope, link-local addresses.

Are there two 4861 links between A, B and C?  Each with its own 
4861-link semantics and link-local scopes?

As I understand "4861 links" no... 4861 would assume that the two links=20
between A-B and B-C are not connected directly.

The typical case in a MANET (especially if every node has only one interfac=
e)=20
is that there are LOTS of nodes (in this case B) that can reach two nodes (=
in=20
this case A and C) on the same interface which cannot hear each other.

Yes, I believe 4861 would assume B is a router between the two links.

Could we define the ABC links in terms of 4861 links or not?

If not, I am afraid we can not use the term "link" in MANET at all.

On another hand, people have run "MANET" with links and link-local 
addresses in the past too.

I was sleepy this morning. I meant WLAN BSS for an example of wrong
usage. This type of interface connected to a Wireless Link works OK.

WLAN in IBSS running MANET protocol is in scope.

In a wireless network it's just a matter of radio range and connectivity,=20
which might change through external influences and movement.

In wireless networks links between nodes don't have disjoined groups of=20
interfaces. The 'is connected to' condition is not always transitive in=20
wireless networks.

I disagree.

Link is a connection between two devices on layer 2. It's the right  term f=
or=20
the connection between two wireless devices too.

MOST times it will work. Just by trying to get a "linklocal unique" IP, you=
=20
will get "mesh unique" IPs. Or maybe the same IPs are two far away to troub=
le=20
you.

But you have no guarantee for this and DAD as described in IPv6 cannot dete=
ct=20
some of the problems.

It's also used in "link state" as in link state protocol, as in the
middle two letters of OLSR. At that level it's as much a mathematical
concept as anything else, but it directly corresponds to the layer 2
link referred to above.

Cables also might change through external influence such as people

Are they point-to-point links?  We do have an understanding of 
point-to-point links, their link-local scope and their link-local 
addresses, such as the IPv6 PPP RFC.

When is it _not_ transitive?

Please give hands-on experience and deterministic behaviour otherwise we 
can't deal with it.

Ok, we're in disagreement about the use of term "link".

It is very difficult to write a spec without agreement on terminology.

IPv6 link-local addresses are discouraged on 4861-links?  Or on 
ABC-problem links?

That sounds to me as a point-to-point link, and maybe as a NBMA link 
(Non-Broadcast Multiple Access).  (although I do question the meaning of 
NBMA - is "non-broadcast" multicast?)

Is an AUTOCONF "link" a point-to-point link and/or a NBMA link, and not 
an ABC-problem link?

HEnning, if my links are properly set up between devices then the IPv6 
LLs will work all the times, not just some times.

The difference is in understanding "link".

YEs, but OSPF IPv6 spec is clear about the difference between "link 
state" and "link-local", for example when it says this:
"   o  Link-local scope.  LSA is only flooded on the local link and no
       further.  Used for the new link-LSA.  See Section 4.4.3.8 for
       details."

Note "LSA" and "local link" - they're clearly different.

Whereas here we mix and match "link" and "link" according our various 
non-consensual tastes depending on a day's mood.

I think we should define what we understand by "link" in AUTOCONF:
-is it NBMA?  Is it point-to-point?
-does it support link-layer multicast?
-is it transitive?  Non-transitive?
-does it have ABC problem?  Does it _not_ have ABC problems?
-is an AUTOCONF network made by several distinctive links or by a single
  link which has the ABC problem?

Can't be all at once.

Let's stop having this raised again and again. In the real world,
with real radios in real deployments, A and B may be able to
hear each other, and B and C may be able to hear each other,
but A and C may not. This is what non-transitive means (it's
mathematican speak for that). End of story, it comes from
physics. We need to solve this problem. You can do it at
layer 2, and try to make layer 3 look like an Ethernet.
If so, the IEEE is that way ---> It's a perfectly good
approach (involving solving most of the same problems, but
specialised to particular systems) but it's not what we are
doing in the IETF, which is doing it at layer 3. If you want
to know why, the IETF answer is in RFC 2501. (The short version
is layer 1/2 independence and heterogeneity.) But it's not
negotiable, that's what we are doing in the MANET and Autoconf
WGs. The rest of everything we do follows from that.

I disagree.

RFC2501 was written when people were not running IPv6 in their MANETs.
The today's widely used WiFi was not available at all in 1999.

I also disagree fully with the tight connection between the AUTOCONF
work and MANET WG work.

I fully agree with this description. Non-transitivity (or "ABC" as
sometimes called in this email thread) is a very basic scenario that
will appear in most MANETs (with at least three routers, which are not
all contained within a single hop). Of course you could pretend a
MANET to be an Ethernet on L2 (as in IEEE 802.11s). But this is not
what we are doing in the IETF. So we have to deal with that case.

Could we solve that problem by putting two real links instead of a
faulty one?  Why not?

Yes, as in 802.11s,  and as in Direct WiFi as a poster often lurker said
recently, and as 6lowpan router-over scenario too, and like 802.15.5 too.

Actually, here in AUTOCONF of IETF you completely circumvent talking
about links.  A goal which I sometimes agree with (as I said to Charles
- I find that to be ideal), but which I disagree with when one has to do
things in practice.

I wonder what communication medium will a node use to send a packet to
another node - is that a link?

It's not open to disagreement. Physics is physics, and the
IETF WGs are working on layer 3 solutions. The differences
between IPv4 and IPv6 are more detailed issues, that I
carefully didn't discuss, and don't affect those two points.

The idea that the Autoconf WG shouldn't be linked to the
MANET WG is also just not going to fly. Of course that
linkage may not be the only linkage, but the whole point
of the IETF is to create protocols that all work together.

On the specific RFC 2501 point, again the IPv4/IPv6 issues
aren't the point, and so what if it predates Wi-Fi? (though
I'd have to check that claim). We are not just about 802.11
(another non-negotiable point) and the whole point of RFC
2501 is not to be locked to specific L1/L2 technologies
- including ones that hadn't been invented then or even now.

I disagree.

RFC2501 was written when people were not running IPv6 in their MANETs.
The today's widely used WiFi was not available at all in 1999.

I also disagree fully with the tight connection between the AUTOCONF
work and MANET WG work.

Here's the reality.

Deploy users/devices. There are a mixture of good links, bad
links, and no links between radios. We try to use the good
links, try to use the bad links only where we have to, and
where there aren't links we use other routes. Sometimes we
have the luxury of moving or otherwise changing our users
so that there are more useful good links, but often we don't.
(Bit of a problem if where we'd like a relay is where the
fire is, or in open ground in a combat situation, or even just
on land that belongs to someone else.) But we always have some
missing links, except in the highly degenerate case where
everyone is all together, and we don't need a MANET. And
missing links means non-transitivity. That's the problem that
isn't open to being argued away.

I am not sure I understand that question... We are dealing with L3, so
we cannot easily solve that problem on L2 (such as bridges).

That may all be possible. But in AUTOCONF (and MANET) WG of IETF, we
deal with multi-hop connectivity on L3 and do not assume any
particular L2. As for 6lowpan, I have some doubts about their
router-over scenario, but this is not an issue in this mailing list.

see above ("we deal with multi-hop connectivity on L3 and do not
assume any particular L2")

Ok, no bridges; can we have B to be a router which IP forwards between
two pure 4861-links?  In this way, instead of calling it one ABC-problem
link we call it two no-problem 4861-links.

Right, 6lowpan route-over could be clarified too.

But IPv6 does assume and define a link.  Why don't you want to?

rfc4861 doesn't assume a particular L2 either, but does go in detail and
defines a link.  Most of rfc4861 happens on such a link, it's natural to
need to define it.

Right, an AUTOCONF protocol will not work if it requires /128
(exclusively!) prefixes configured on interfaces.

RFC2501 was issued at a time when IPv4 link-local addresses didn't exist
either.

If it predates WiFi it means it doesn't know about the WiFi problems and
WiFi experience.

Moreover, rfc2501 MANETs don't talk ABC (hidden terminal) problem, nor
transitivity nor asymmetry problems.

> (though I'd have to check that claim).

Sure, to be more precise, I think cards tagged "WiFi" appeared on the
market in 2000.

I think the first widely available 802.11b document was published in 2000.

Even if we consider 1999 to be close enough to 2000, it's hard to
imagine there was such widespread experience with wifi as it is now, and
that rfc2501 benefitted from wide review from wifi users.

I agree with this goal, in general.

In particular, we should say which links.

We will not even have a discussion about it.

The attributes of wireless communication links (especially the non-
transitivity of connectivity) is a property of physics. Unless you plan to=

rewrite physics there is not much you can do about it I think.

IPv6 assumes that if you have someone in linklocal range (unicast or=20
multicast), you have all of his linklocal neighbors (on the same interface)=
=20
yourself in linklocal range too. Wireless networks don't work this way, get=
=20
over it.

The only thing we can do is
a) try to ignore it, cross fingers and hope we will never run in a linkloca=
l=20
collision at two-hop range
b) warn the users that the IPv6 specifications might lead to strange things=
 in=20
wireless networks
c) work on protocolls and algorithms to create linklocal IPs that are a lit=
tle=20
bit tighter than necessary, so we can guarantee that they will always be=20
linklocal in our mesh networks.

There are sollutions for part c), so I don't worry about it. But they are n=
ot=20
"just use RFC 4861 and be done with it".

Once again, this is utter nonsense. I refer you to section 6.2 of the draft=
,
second bullet :=20
"A subnet prefix configured on this interface should be of length /128."

It says should. Not "must". I fail to understand why you continue to argue
that this "exclusively" requires /128 prefixes. It is obviously, patently
FALSE.=20

How does one interpret that "should /128" when all interfaces are
configured with the "fe80::/10" prefix out-of-the-box?

What does "should prefix length /128" mean with respect to SLAAC: does
it mean we have little chance of ever running SLAAC on an AUTOCONF node
(SLAAC uses Interface Identifiers of length /64, thus prefix lengths /64)?

Moreover - why do you transform the necessity of host-based routes (/128
as prefix length in the routing table, which is ok) into an unnecessary
"should" /128 prefix assigned on an interface?  Where does this
necessity come from?

There already is not just broad, but overwhelming consensus
for the following points that are the only ones I was making:

- MANETs have physical link properties that are non-transitive
  (or however you want to word it).
- The IETF is working on L3 MANET protocols.
- The Autoconf and MANET WGs work is directly related.

Note that broad consensus is not the same as unanimity, but
it's actually pretty close in this case.

I don't plan to rewrite physics laws more than you plan to re-write IPv6
and Internet.

Well I know some wireless links which work that way: 802.11b, 802.16
(when they are properly set up).

Well - if the two-hop range is two 4861-links then the link-local
addressed packets do not get forwarded, so no collision risk.

I think your warning will fall on my definitely deaf AUTOCONF ears.

This sounds like new contributions to the IPv6 Addressing Architecture
RFC, which could easily be qualified as re-writing the Internet rules.

Right, I don't mean to say that.

The current task is to desribe a practical addressing model.  "/128" is
not practical, discouraging LLs is not practical either.  You have all
upside down in this document: the main recommendations go against any
practical aspects, which are then left as exceptions, corner cases,
non-wireless, etc.

I want link-local addresses to be first-class citizens in AUTOCONF, not
some corner case.

I want the "prefix /128 on interface" suggestion to be an exception.
Maybe, I say maybe, the "/128" prefixlen in the routing table for
host-based routes to be a MAY.

I want the AUTOCONF document to define "link".  And to name the links on
which it run as example.  And to list the protocols which require the
use link-local addresses.

That for my wishlist :-)

Alex

Dearlove, Christopher (UK) a écrit :

Well feel free to exclude me from your consensus.

I will be happy go working in another WG.

So what? I wasn't quoting 2501 with regard to LL addresses, but
with regard to doing things at L3.

So what? We're not working on 802.11, we're working on L3 routing.

It doesn't spell it out in nit-picking detail, but the transmitivity
issue is implicit (and pretty close to explicit using the word "random"
in Section 3. Not that that matters, it's not why I referenced 2501.

Working at L3?  Ok, so says the entire IETF, not just one particular
RFC.  I wonder why you cite RFC2501 in particular as suggestion to work 
on L3.

>> If it predates WiFi it means it doesn't know about the WiFi

I think putting the "/128" in the prefixlen field of a routing table
entry is a good L3 part to recommend. (and not the current /128 prefix
per interface).

One can use that use of the word "random" to motivate about anything one
would like to.

Is this nonsense qualifier also relying on the rfc2501 use of the word
random?

Or do you have some actual facts about how IPv6 does _not_ work on
802.11b?  Because I state the opposite: IPv6 works on 802.11b,
link-local addresses _are_ used and shorter than 128 prefixes are the
common case of prefix assigned on an interface.

This is not a game of words, it's how it is in my view.

Alex,

Without knowing anything about your deployments, what you say above =20
makes me absolutely certain that IEEE 802.11b, in the mode you have =20
been deploying it, is NOT a multihop ad hoc network nor a MANET.

No they don't... especially not in Adhoc mode.

You don't setup LINKS in 802.11, you set up a node and get connectivity wit=
h=20
everyone else in range. Unless you want to limit 802.11 to directional=20
point-2-point connections, there is no way to avoid the not-transitive=20
connection thing.

The problem is not forwarding. In the ABC case everything seems to be fine =
for=20
A and C, even if they have choosen the same linklocal-IP. Noone in linkloca=
l-
range of them has the same IP.

But B communicates with BOTH OF THEM on the same interface, so he has two=20
linklocal-range neighbors who have chosen the same linklocal-IP for their=20
interface. So B cannot use the IP to communicate with A and C.

So what ? If you come back complaining that one of your 1000 IPv6-Autoconf=

networks did behave badly we can say "we warned you". ;)

If the whole internet will become a mesh network with only wireless links w=
e=20
might do so.

The IPv6 ND will work most of the times, because the random part of the=20
linklocal IP is HUGE. So you will have to wait a long time before you get a=
=20
collision. But you might get one. Especially in a MOBILE adhoc network.

ThomasC - is that with the Chair hat on or off?

I think you should be sure before talking MANETs in general.

Because:
-RFC2501 MANETs are not OLSR MANETs which are not DYMO MANETs which are
  not AUTOCONF networks.
-the OLSR MANET is _not_ the 6lowpan MANET, and is not the RoLL MANET
  either.
-your MANETs are not personX's MANETs.
-Finally, and very importantly: your MANETs are not personY's MANETs.
(personX and Y active in this WG).

That's why I suppose your hat was not on :-)

In this sense - which MANET are we talking about?  Can we define what
"MANET" means?  I think it would be useful.

(about the networks I deploy - they are multi-IPhop networks (Hop Limit
field gets decremented), with one 802.11b ad-hoc link (has link-local
scope, supports link-layer multicast) in between which uses exclusively
link-local addresses; the src and dst of the communication ends are not
link-local; but the link-local addresses in the ad-hoc link are very
important and easy to use, in order to have the entire network work.
Don't discourage that.  Also, I don't use /128 prefixes on the
interfaces, and I don't use /128 host-based routes but aggregated routes
into /64 prefixes.  Don't discourage that either.)

Let's say I place my view higher above the physics laws (PHY) than you do.

That's right - it becomes a link.  Everyone in range of my device and my
device form a link.  That's fully deterministic.  The size of that range
is specified.  That link supports link-layer multicast, has link-local
scope, doesn't have ABC problem, is transitive.

Well, I disagree - a link formed by devices within a certain precise
range from my device is not a ptp link, supports link-layer multicast
and is transitive.

I see what you mean.

But look at it otherwise:

If the maximum distance (range) between any two pairs of A, B and C is
the standardized 802.11b limit then there is no ABC problem and no
non-transitive issue.  Right?

If the distance between any of the two is larger than the 802.11b
standardized limit then don't presume you have a normally behaving link.

> But B communicates with BOTH OF THEM on the same interface,

I don't understand this restriction - why a single interface on B?  If
having a single interface creates problems then add another one.

If you had two 50m Ethernet Category5 cables and three machines -
wouldn't you create the same problem (Ethernet length is also
standardized) - yet nobody tells IP doesn't run on Ethernet.

Well, I wouldn't expect A, B and C to consider they have a working link
between them if any of the two is outside the specified range.  You
were saying A and C were not in range, right?  So why would A and C
consider they had a link between them?

I think your problem of connecting two remote machines through an
intermediary close to both is really nothing new and we shouldn't spend
any cycle on it.  I mean two IP machines with a router in between does that.

No no, I am deaf :-)

I tell you why.

Whenever considering a 1000somethings bigger something one has to
structure them.  And the first setp in structuring is to use
deterministic links.

Also, whenever considering 1000nodes, there surely will exist _some_ 
nodes which are given little more functionalities.  I expect these to 
have several interfaces.

Besides, there's no one single human who could deploy alone a working 
1000node IP network.

I think I am very much scared to hear you expect the Internet to become
a mesh network.  I am scared because I believe it already is a mesh
network and thus I don't know what you want to do.

Hmmm, I am not afraid, DAD will help me detect the duplicates n 100% cases.

There are literally milions of MOBILE devices connected to the Internet.

Sometimes they are also literally ad-hoc, i.e. unplanned.  Recently an
unplanned connection of a MOBILE device generated a huge euro bill.
Imagine the easiness of using that MOBILE device that its owner didn't
even realize it's on a different (more expensive) network.  The IP
connection setup worked ok, the IP address changed, etc. yet the owner
didn't even notice.  Is that unplanned (i.e. adhoc) and MOBILE enough?

But why do you need a MANET for that case? I would call that IBSS
mode, you don't need any routing then.

This is called MANET (i.e. multi-hop communicaiton). Do you seriously
suggest to limit a MANET to the size of your living room? How would
you deploy a MANET like the one from FunkFeuer? (several hundreds of
routers in Vienna, over a huge area)? Or a military network?

So you suggest to add an interface for every neighbor in the worst
case? How many interfaces would you suggest to have on every router
then?

Right, that forms a single deterministic 4861-link, no IP routing within
it.   It's already great to have it.  Its only disadvantage may be its
  relatively small 50m range; but knowing that a single 50m cable could
connect only two machines, a 50m wifi range connecting tens of computers
is much more advantageous.

Are you saying a MANET is a network which presumes it doesn't have
normally behaving links?  DO you mean a MANET never works ok?

About MANET being "multi-hop communications" - let's agree that
multi-hop communications happened and continue to happen completely
independent of what MANET is or becomes.

First, multi-hop is what 6lowpan and RoLL call too, yet avoiding the
word MANET.

Second, multi-hop is what happens in the Internet at-large.  Internet is
a huge mesh of wired and wireless links all stitched together by IP.

Why do you want to call multi-hop communications "MANET"?

> Do you seriously suggest to limit a MANET to the size of your living 
> room?

Well, no, my living room size is smaller than 50m :-)

I don't see a MANET larger than 50m using exclusively 1-interface
routers.  That doesn't scale IMHO.

Of course, you could have independent overlapping islands of wifi
unknown links, but a fully connected network doesn't scale very large
when only 1-interface routers are used, for sure.

Do you know how many interfaces a DFZ router has?

"FunkFeuer"(?)  Did FunkFeuer ever claim each of their hundreds Vienna
routers is a one-interface router?

Military?  Secret.  Not IETF.

It's not necessary for a router to have a distinct interface for every
neighbor.  It is necessary to have at least two interfaces on wifi
routers placed at the 50m borders.

In terms of number of interfaces overall, one worst wifi case would be a
linear deployment with each node within 50m from the next, no closer.
That would require 2 interfaces on each router except the first and last.

But that's a particular case I don't see happening.

The types of physically linear deployments I know of are half wired half
wireless and are currently dealt with with mostly star topologies (e.g.
networks of IP speedcams along highways, or bus stop IP displays, IP
Access Points in metro/bus stations, IP Access Points in public parks).

I preferred not take part of this discussion. But reading so much opinions
that are beside facts, I encourage everybody reading the bloody specs.
E.g. 802.11-2007 page 27:
  For wireless PHYs, well-defined coverage areas simply do not exist.
  Propagation characteristics are dynamic and unpredictable. Small 
  changes in position or direction may result in dramatic differences 
  in signal strength. Similar effects occur whether a STA is stationary
  or mobile (as moving objects may impact station-to-station propagation).

We could introduce moving teapots again :-)

Hmmm... Teco, I agree the wireless PHYs are full of surprises to... PHY
layer.

But take me the average wifi user, with a wifi manual on my laps and
here's what I see: "radio range (approximately 60 metres)".  That's my
hands-on experience of wifi adhoc mode.  Moreover, I believe it is
regulated worldwide.

Of course, add to that some millimeter-wave kitchen ovens, de-ionized
atmosphere and obstacles and PHY becomes suddenly unstable.

I believe kitchen ovens will affect the "/128 prefix on
interface" recommendation too.  When a very badly tuned oven is running
near an AUTOCONF router the use of "/128 prefix on the interface" will
not improve the communication.  Only turning that oven off will improve it.

Add to it a range-extension antenna, a clear sunny day, turn the power
knob to max, break the regulation laws, and all of a sudden we have huge
PHY coverage in the order of kilometers, as reported in the O'Reilly
802.11 book, 2002 -  practical experience.  Totally independent of /128
prefixes or /64 prefixes on interface, or of LL recommendations, and of
any routing protocol.  It's just a bigger and stronger PHY layer.

PHY or not PHY... IP or not IP.

"standardized IEEE 802.11b limit"?  I don't believe that IEEE 802.11b
has a limit in the standard.  If you can hear each other, you go for
it.  And, different geos allow different maximum output power.

Most of them are one-hop routers. I would say more than 70%, Maybe even mor=

Alex,

We IETF work on standards. We cooperate with the IEEE 802 communities,=20
including 802.11. This WLAN specification is evolving and nowadays
it support range extension in the spec (section 17.1, the 10MHz and=20
5MHz channels).

With high gain antennas, 300km links were set up. I expect they did
not reduce TXpower, so it may be illegal. But by reducing the TXpower,
a set up with two high gain antennas enlarges the link range without
breaking laws. 5km should not be a problem.

Moreover, there are plenty of communities that have their own licensed
or protected spectrum. I am involved in those communities, and 20km =
links=20
or more is no problem, using 802.11 based equipment. But at the same
time, I experience connectivity problems due to foliage, teapots or=20
whatever. 50meters can be two teapots too far.

Am I right you admit we shall stay away from PHY details in Autoconf?

To fresh up your memory, read postings of exactly 2 years ago, e.g.:
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/autoconf/current/msg00746.html
Your text:
   It appears too exhausting to describe each and every scenario,=20
   right :-) They look as easily mapped from one to another.=20
   They're all networks in the end :-)

Regards, Teco

Vienna has a legal 20+ km link with 802.11 and directional antennas.

Why do the 802.11b user manuals say 50m (150ft) then?  Are they wrong?

I believe you mean one-interface routers.

Well I think we should leave place in the specs for the 30% or less 
routers which have more than one interface then.

It's not a "802.11b user manual" but a manual for a card you can buy. And t=

manufacturer just states a typical distance you can use together with an=20
access point in urban terrain. Because that's (from most manufacturers poin=

of view) is the typical usecase for their cards.

The 50m has NOTHING to do with the 802.11 specification.

I would have to ask what's the exact split.

Most routers have only one interface because they are typical DSL-WLAN-

Well we should ack a MANET can use routers with more than one interface. 
  On these routers the ABC link problems are less valid.

Er?  A typical DSL-WLAN router has two interfaces: a WLAN interface and

Yes, large scale networks are supposed to use several interfaces on

Depends how you configure them.  If you configure them such that A and C 
are too remote and B in between - yes ABC problems.

If you configure B to have two interfaces each on a distinct 4861 link 
then there are no ABC problem links.

It depends on how you set the links up.

If you configure the devices and enforce behavior such that they are =20
not part of a MANET, then you are not within scope of [autoconf].

Thomas,

Again, you seem to make AUTOCONF too much related to MANET.

AUTOCONF Charter doesn't say MANET.

Are we sure Chairs and WG members are inline with respect to MANET vs
AUTOCONF?

I personally don't think AUTOCONF should do MANET exclusively.  With the
above phrase you (as Chair?) clearly rule out everything else than MANET
from AUTOCONF.

I think this is a very wrong situation to be in.

I believe that the charter is quite clear when it starts:

	In order to communicate among themselves, ad hoc nodes (refer to =
RFC
	2501)

that we are addressing MANETs.

At the moment you are wasting time for everyone because you don't seem to=20
grasp what this WG and MANETs in general are about. You try to press the=20
working of this group into a concept that was generated mostly for wired=20
network world (and highly structured networks as mobile phone ones).

MANETs work differently. They have additional problems and they are not jus=

Please count how often this text says "ad hoc network" or "ad hoc nodes".
MANET is an acronym for "mobile AD HOC NETWORK".

Hi,

Quite a few e-mails have been sent lately and I'm not sure we are making
any progress, again we have different views and I think we need to reach
a common understanding. I think it's good that everybody provides their
view, because I think that after 5 years we don't have still a clear and
well accepted view of what a MANET is and -- more important -- what is
the scope of AUTOCONF.

Trying to summarize some issues next, to help driving the discussion to
more concrete points...

- LLs usage in MANETs. I see and understand (personal view) that "links"
in wireless MANETs do not exactly behave as wired (Ethernet-alike)
links. However, I don't agree that LLs cannot be used in MANETs (in case
a protocol/application wants to use it). These "links" in MANETs are
more dynamic, short-lived and transitivity is not granted, but we still
have a "link".

- Related to the previous item, IPv6 assumes the existence of "links",
so I agree with Alex that we need to have some better understanding of
what we understand by "link" in autoconf. For me, I see it as a wireless
link (with all its properties) which is very dynamic and non-transitive.
This implies that special care has to be taken when designing some
mechanisms (DAD is one of the most representative ones), but it does not
necessarily preclude the use of link-locals. IP relies on the existence
of a link and therefore, if we don't want to change many core IP
mechanisms, we need to understand what kind of link IP "sees" in a
MANET.

- From the last e-mails I see again that the scope of autoconf is not
clear. I always thought that autoconf was dealing with __IP address
autoconfiguration in MANETs__, but I see (I've already raised this
question/comment) that many people is rather working on "IP over MANET"
and here is where most of the controversy appears. I think the charter
should be more explicit about what changes are allowed to IP standards
in order to allow MANETs get IP address autoconfiguration, otherwise
this is not gonna converge (we may get "rough" consensus, but a
non-negligible set of wg members would likely never agree). If people
feel it is impossible to come up with a practical address
autoconfiguration mechanism without modifying some IPv6 core standards,
then we should go for a "6MANET" working group or something like this.
There address autoconfiguration would be part of the charter (as in
6lowpan).

My two cents, hope it helps instead of creates more confusion and
endless discussions...

Thanks,

Carlos

Well, I think Internet routing and addressing is very well structured.
You can't just change that.

An address being topologically correct at only one place in the topology
is an inherent feature of Internet routing and addressing that can't be
changed just like that.

You're touching on very sensitive issues with the LL recommendations and
with the /128 prefix per interface.

> (and highly structured networks as mobile phone ones).

1. mobile phone networks often consider infrastructure-less relaying,
    such as in LTE.  In this sense they look as ad-hoc networks.
2. highly structured networks exist outside the mobile phone industry,
    which look a lot like the ad-hocnetworks.

Highly-structured is what Internet is, otherwise it doesn't work.

Ok, do you have anything else to say about MANETs other than they're 
different?

Well - are you sure everybody is on the same line with you when you say
adhoc network is a MANET?

We have already seen that the MANET term of rfc2501 is not the same
MANET term described with the help of ABC problem and non-transitivity
links.

I remind that two other groups at IETF (6lowpan and ROLL) do things
similar to what you would call a "MANET" yet they don't call it "MANET".

I suggest you do the same.

Alex

I think there is a very well accepted view of the nature of a MANET.  
There is a conference
series called "MobiHoc" which has published many high-quality papers on 
the subject.
I reviewed many papers for the conference, and I didn't notice the huge 
conceptual stumbling
blocks there that are surfacing on this mailing list.  Maybe it would 
help for the people unclear
on the concepts to read some of those papers.  There is a huge diversity 
of opinion, to be sure,
but at least people don't try to confine ad hoc networks to be single 
hop domains configured by
network administrators.

Sure, you can use them.  Others should not have to use them.

I don't think that is likely to get you anywhere.  I recommend you form 
a task
force to settle the issue for your satisfaction.

IP relies on the existence of a communications medium equipped with
layer-2 access software (in the device driver) and a standardized
calling sequence for the device driver.

I thought that some people indicated they did not believe IP could
work over a MANET so then we had to have yet another diversionary
discussion.  That doesn't mean the scope of [autoconf] is unclear.

Especially the ones that don't think it's possible to run IP in a MANET.
I think that determining which standards require revision is a problem in
the solution space.

Sorry, this is wrong.  [autoconf] is chartered to make practical address
autoconfiguration mechanisms.  It's been shown to be possible.  Now if
we could just get to doing it instead of convincing people that IP can be
run in a MANET.

Are you talking about me?  I too regularly review (for reviews.com)
about ad-hoc networks articles published on more than just MobiHoc and I
end most of my reviews urging everybody to practice more and simulate
less.  That gets published.

Only to come here be told I don't know about MANETs :-(

Hello Alex,

Here's an excerpt from a recent email:

> No no, I am deaf :-)
>
> I tell you why.
>
> Whenever considering a 1000somethings bigger something one has to
> structure them.  And the first setp in structuring is to use
> deterministic links.
>
> Also, whenever considering 1000nodes, there surely will exist _some_

First, since you are deaf, I am silly for responding.  I might
as well try to convert Texas to humanism.

Second, there are examples of 1000 node networks where
each node is minimal.

Third, a single human could easily deploy a 1000 node sensor
network.

So, in just this one excerpt you have exhibited fundamental
disregard (I won't say ignorance) for existing technology.

In a previous email to you, I exhibited nearly a half-dozen
errors in a _single sentence_.

You insist on necessitating a central role for a "link", in
a network where such the communications medium identified
by such a concept is likely to be varying very quickly in
time and space, sometimes almost unpredictably.  The
experience of others (who do those 1000 node networks)
leads towards certain design decisions that you disregard.

[cf:
> No no, I am deaf :-) 
].

And yet you want to occupy the attention and restrict
the solution space available to practitioners who seem to
have far more experience than you, regardless of your
ability to respond to paper review requests.


Regards,
Charlie P.

I've also reviewed many papers from this or similar conferences and
journals. Even I have published on this topic.

I don't try to do that. I just pointed out the fact that it seems that
we don't have in autoconf a agreed view on what a MANET is (I think we
tried in the past with the draft-ietf-autoconf-manet-architecture and we
failed). So, I agree with you, there is a huge diversity of opinion.

Well, I just tried to be constructive here, doing things for my own

Well, IPv6 standars discusses about off-link, on-link, etc, so "links"
are critical parts to understand addressing.

I do believe IP can work over a MANET (and I have performed experiments
with MANETs in my lab). I'm far from questioning this. My point is that
I think we can run IP over MANET without introducing drastic changes to
IP.

Again, I hope you are not referring to me here, because I do believe it.

Well, someone mentioned not using ND at all in MANETs in the last
meeting. I have this kind of example in mind when talking about this.

I'm sorry you think we are arguing against the feasibility of running IP
in a MANET, this is not true. I'm just trying to understand the best way
of _configuring IP addresses_ in a MANET, with as minimum changes to IP
model/protocols as necessary.

I just tried to help with this thread, but I guess I've failed again.
Maybe I should keep myself quieter from now on...

Thanks,

Carlos

All of the failures stem from an attempt to fit a round peg in
a square hole.  Or, to be more precise, to fit the time-varying
nature of the MANET communications medium completely
within the square hole of the IP subnet model.

But I am pretty sure that focusing on identifying "links" in a MANET
is not constructive.  Been there, done that!  In fact, the whole discussion
about link-layer uniqueness is a red herring if protocol cannot identify
the "link" on which such an address is supposed to be unique.

True.  I have found that IPv6 works great for packetized
communications even across communications media for which
"link"-related terms aren't easily associated with physical reality.
You have almost provided a road map for those parts of the
IPv6 specification that need to be reinterpreted.

I agree.  But I think we have to dispense with tight adherence to
previously determined properties of wireline links.

I don't think it was you, but _somebody_ indicated they didn't think it
was possible.

I'm among those who believe ND will require modification
if it would be used at all.

I am willing to believe you are not among those making this argument.

Here, necessity is defined by the range of applicability.  In order to
expand the range of applicability to large and/or highly mobile network
populations of wireless nodes, modifications are going to be required,
and the concept of "link" as defined in the IPv6 specifications is not
helping.

I don't ask anyone to be quieter, but I like it better when they
are not deaf.

I think we had already some suggestion how to deal with it...

a) If you have unique MAC addresses, use them for IP generation and be happ=
y.
b) If you have a good source of random numbers, use them for IP generation =

be happy.
c) If you don't have any of this, maybe a protocol to generate some random=

This is not modification of ND, IMHO. Current specs allow to do any of
this.

The modification we would need would have to go into DAD (to check if we go=
od=20
a collision). Instead of directly listening to other DAD checkers using our=
=20
interface IP, we would have to programm a DAD which detects if TWO of it's=
=20
neighbors are using the same IP and send some kind of "please change this I=
P"=20
message as a broadcast. This should be enough to get the ABC-Problem under=
=20
controll.

In moving networks with changing connectivity we have of course to do this=
=20
constantly.

YEs - link is of paramount importance.

You also need a communication medium but you simply don't want 
4861-links, that's all.

You avoid defining them and always claim you and only you understand its 
non-understandable behaviours.  You sometimes use it to explain some 
protocol design choices, but I can't understand these choices because I 
simply don't understand what you mean by non-deterministic links and 
time/space variation of stuff.

Hmmm... tell me about one such 1000node network running IP on each node 
and 1-interface routers exclusively, and /128 prefixes-per-interfaces... 
never seen one.

I believe it exagerated.

If it ran by your AUTOCONF rules then each node would have a host-based 
route for every other node (i.e. 1000 entries in each node memory), or, 
sensor nodes are so restricted in memory that their stack takes much of 
the place.

That's why I believe your 1000node claims exagerated.

Those words have well-defined meanings.  I personally do not
use the terminology "non-deterministic".  Maybe you are confusing
me with someone else.

No, each node only requires host routes for destinations

You must be trying to convince me that proactive link-state

It's a big University, what of if more exactly?

Is this claim similar to the recent claim that said large networks in 
Vienna, and yet there are two-interface routers?

I do follow GENI and what I see is invitations to conferences - should I
accept these invitations?  And I don't see networks of 1000s IP
1-interface sensors.

Again - I agree with you in the sense they represent great goals, ideal
in a sense.

However, I don't see it happening as you describe it, i.e. IP on each
sensor dropped from planes.

And I did see sensor networks.

You continue saying these ABC-links are different than existing links,
with a timespace vocabulary proper to only the pure PHY-inclined.  Not
that they're not right, but they simply don't use IP - they use OFDMA
MIMO and such.

Cross-layer violation?

How about decoupling both the layer-7 (apps) _and_ the layer-0 (PHY)
from AUTOCONF?

Let me say I refuse completely to agree on this cross-layer violation:
applications dictate which route should be present or not.  Applications
use sockets to send/rcv data that's all.  I don't want to fiddle beneath
them.  I did enough fiddling with below apps Mobile IP to know what I'm
talking about.

>> That's why I believe your 1000node claims exagerated.

You may like me to, but no.  Not my intention was that.

I simply don't agree with the app-dictates-routes.

There will always exist apps unaware of the supposed routing fiddling.
The only interface they assume is their Socket, which is very good.
That Socket doens't know MANET.

BEsides, I don't want my app blocked until some routing protocol
finds its paths through a 1000node unstructured maze.

These are enough basic things for me to be in full disagreement with the
MANETs as presented.

The only way to get past that is to decouple MANET from AUTOCONF.

A new version of I-D, draft-baccelli-multi-hop-wireless-communication-03.txt has been successfuly submitted by Charles Perkins and posted to the IETF repository.

Filename:	 draft-baccelli-multi-hop-wireless-communication
Revision:	 03
Title:		 Multi-hop Ad Hoc Wireless Communication
Creation_date:	 2009-11-17
WG ID:		 Independent Submission
Number_of_pages: 9

Abstract:
This document describes some important characteristics of
communication between nodes in a multi-hop ad hoc wireless network.
These are not requirements in the sense usually understood as
applying to formulation of a requirements document.  Nevertheless,
protocol engineers and system analysts involved with designing
solutions for ad hoc networks must maintain awareness of these
characteristics.

Well, that's the way it can happen.

Sensor nets can run IP.

Polite, impolite, rude, or downright vicious --
the statement is still totally false.

I'm not the one talking about links.  As far as IP is concerned, all that
is needed is to formulate a packet that can be delivered to the next hop,
and issue a call on the proper device driver to deliver it.

No mind-torquing at all is required to understand this.

And you are wrong to suggest that time variations are irrelevant
to IP.  As I recall, most routing protocols have timing parameters.

I hope you will form a design team to work out a suitable
ecology for understanding the meaning of the word "link"
in your desired environment.

Absolutely not.  The applications require no changes at all.

Considering that they were never coupled, no problem.

This is a very convenient strawman for your wrath.

Finally -- a point of 100% agreement between us.

Nobody likes to wait.

But that's the way MANETs _are_.

That would be dumb.

=09*** Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ***









=09=09=09=09The ACS/IEEE Workshop

=09=09Future Trends on Ad-hoc and Sensor Networks (FT-ASN)



In Conjunction with the 8th ACS/IEEE International Conference on =20
Computer Systems and Applications AICCSA 2010

=09=09    =09Hammamet, Tunisia, May 16-19, 2010











Ad Hoc & Sensor Networks have solicited tremendous attentions from =20
both academic community and industry fields for many years.

They are becoming an integral part of the current computing landscape =20
and certainly of future computing development and networking platforms.

Along with the rapid development of hardware and embedded systems, ad =20
hoc and sensor networks are being further developed towards

a large number of mobile and multimedia applications such as video =20
surveillance, traffic enforcement and control systems,

advanced healthcare delivery, structural health monitoring, and =20
industrial process control.



The support of mobility, multimedia, security and scalability raise =20
many challenging issues such as cross layer optimization,

intelligent content aware transmission, scarce resource intelligent =20
allocation, mobile self organization, autonomic management

and operation and secured communications and localization. Significant =20
research efforts are still needed from both academia community and

industrial fields, yet further experimental enlightening is sought =20
from current deployments and test beds.



The workshop aims to be a forum for researchers working on the design, =20
modelling, analysis and performance evaluation of Ad-hoc and Sensor =20

That's not sufficient. What happens if two nodes three or more hops away
pick the same address? That's still a problem that needs solving if you
are going to e.g. route with DYMO or OLSRv2.

I was talking only about linklocal IPs. If you choose the same LL-IP three=

hops away OLSR or DYMO should not care (as long as they support unroutable=

[Thomas - please make your mails such I see them with fixed-length font 
(like Courrier), not variable-length fonts (like Times Roman). 
Displaying variable-length font emails breaks my view.

I believe this may come from your use of quoted-printable MIME encoding 
instead of base64 MIME encoding.

HEre we talk English, 7bit ASCII is sufficient, no need to encode it 
with MIME.  If you really want to encode it with MIME then use base64 
encoding (instead of quoted-printable) or 8bit encoding, it covers a 
much wider range of characters.

If you need both English and French on the same MUA, you could still 
make your readers see fixed-font length by not using MIME but 8bit 
transport - most MTAs and MUAs are 8bit capable since some time now.

For example,
RFC2045:
> For this reason, at least two encoding mechanisms are
>    necessary: a more or less readable encoding (quoted-printable) and a
>    "dense" or "uniform" encoding (base64).

That "more or less"... means I see "=20" instead of a CR.  I ... err... 
don't like it at all.]

Well, not true.  Most applications are not aware about there being a 
route or not.  The apps I currently use are not blocked more than 1-2s 
at worst until a path is found.  And that is Internet scale.

Generally speaking, the apps on end nodes are generally blocked mainly 
by the ND use for the default route.  HEre - you don't even talk default 
routes, and not talking ND either.

You don't even ack the fact that pure ND should happen with whatever 
addresses AUTOCONF generates.  You are ready to modify ND, or to even 
replace it with something else.

SO I really think we have different view on this aspect too.

It _is_ a cross-layer violations for apps to depend on the existence on 
routes.

Hmmm... how does my firefox browser running on a MANET host know a route 
exist or not to a destination?

Well again, my apps on my laptop has little idea about the presence of 
routes in its routing table or in the Internet.  All the kernel does is 
use a default route and ND for that.  You don't ack any of the two

Ronald questioned at the last meeting about this use of ND, and you 
manage to respond something but it showed non-interest from your part.

No, it appears we just exchanged a yes-no pair of messages on which I 
struggle to explain things and to which you say 'no'.

That is not explanation.

That is not consensus.

That is a Chair imposing stuff.

Please digest that page info for me.

Is it 1400 nodes?  Or area of 1400m times something? (the slides say so)

Is each node running IP?  IPv6?

Is each node having a single interface?

That is what I am looking for.

If autoconf is to be useful, we need it to create addresses with
MANET wide scope (at least) and uniqueness in that scope. That needs
something more than a two hop approach. Maybe you can get a two hop
approach to work and create LL addresses with that (dynamically
changing) scope. And if that's useful to you, fine. But to route
across a MANET with autoconfigured addresses needs more than that.
And that's what the WG needs to create if it's to be useful.

I completely agree with you, creation of manet-unique IPs is the more=20
important part of this WG. But I think we will be able to get the LL-Proble=
m=20
done too with a little bit creative work.

As MANETs are *exactly* like the other parts of the Internet in this =20
respect, you either disagree with the Internet or agree with MANETs =20
here.

Fortunately, they do not depend on this in a MANET either. A MANET is =20=

just like the Internet in this regard.

It doesn't. I am *this second* writing this email using a stock Apple-=20=

issue laptop with nothing but std. applications.  My Firefox, Safari, =20=

Mail et. al. do not know that they are connected across a MANET =20
routing domain, any more than they would know if they were connected =20
over an OSPF domain.....

So, no fiddling is needed.

I am connected to the Internet via a MANET right now. You don't ack =20
that that works just fine.

Ronald has a point, which is very relevant when we go to the next =20

Many people have tried to explain matters, but it seems that these =20
explanations fall on deaf ears. It is hard not to get more than a =20

Hi Charlie,

thanks for submitting the document again. I think it is very useful.
Are there any differences to the -02 version? Or is it the same
version resubmitted?

Ulrich

Hello Ulrich,

It is almost the same document.  But I need to update
the description for "exposed nodes".  My presentation at
the IETF was correct, but I forgot to go back and update
the text in the draft.

I hope to do that tomorrow.

Regards,
Charlie P.

PS. sorry for the repeat messages -- I keep forgetting
     which email address works for the [autoconf] mailing list.

Hi,

Over in the 6lowpan WG we are defining a technique for optimizing the =
host-router (node-router) interface, called 6lowpan-nd. Working on this =
problem for a couple years, and starting with RFC4861 terminology, it =
turns out that we came to a very similar conclusion to the autoconf WG. =
However, in 6lowpan we are routing protocol agnostic and we deal with =
hosts and routers.

The link technologies we use in 6lowpan exhibit the characteristics =
defined (very nicely!) in =
draft-baccelli-multi-hop-wireless-communications-03. Although we don't =
always have multi-hop, even then many of the same characteristics occur.

The current version of ietf-6lowpan-nd-07 goes to all the trouble of =
defining mostly the same things you have (with much more text...). In =
Hiroshima we got a kick (thanks Dave!) to explore the use of =
draft-ietf-autoconf-adhoc-addr-model to simplify our own document and to =
unite the models across WGs.=20

Here are my comments/thoughts on the addr-model-00 document from the =
6lowpan perspective:

1. Make the document MANET agnostic. This can just as well be referenced =
by ROLL and 6LoWPAN work e.g. I only find MANET referenced in the intro =
(can be extended with other examples) and in the last paragraph of 6.2. =
Both are easily fixed.

2. I like the "link of undetermined properties"... however you might =
want to point to a document like =
draft-baccelli-multi-hop-wireless-communications to point out why links =
end up like that. RFC4861 also explains that a link might be =
non-transitive, so that could also be referenced.=20

3. You have two open issues in Appendix A. To me both of these are OK =
already. The link model is fine (see 2). If globally unique addresses =
are needed, leave that to some other mechanism. This is what 6lowpan-nd =
does for a 6lowpan network.

4. In 6lowpan we would use the "when more specific assumptions can be =
made about connectivity" clause, as we always assign a single (global or =
ULA) prefix across the whole 6lowpan network. So the "MAY be configured =
with the same prefix" in Section 4 would be applied. In 6lowpan-nd we =
are able to make an assumption about connectivity between node-router =
pairs thanks to our mechanism defined. So please do keep this clause, it =
is very useful ;-)

5. We consider link-local addresses in the same way, this is OK.

6.  The second bullet point of Section 6.2 needs some expansion not to =
be misunderstood. In addition to the existing sentence, also add text =
like: ", unless an assumption can be made about connectivity in which =
case the prefix may be /64." The point being that if you can assume =
connectivity with a router (who somehow advertises a prefix), you may be =
able to autoconfigure an address using a shared prefix. This is what we =
do in 6lowpan.

So in my opinion, with the very small changes above (1. and 6.), this =
document would be very useful for our work.=20

Thanks,
Zach=20

> 1. Make the document MANET agnostic.

MANET is an overloaded term. One meaning is "what's done in
the MANET WG". The other is "what's done in an ad hoc network".
(Why have I dropped "mobile"? - because really it's not mobility
that matters, it's dynamism, and pretty much all ad hoc networks
are dynamic, just the timescale varies.) In the latter sense
- which is what I think matters - what's happening in ROLL and
6LoWPAN are specialised MANETs. The document may be agnostic on
the former sense, but not, I suggest, on the latter sense.

Zach,

it's good to hear that the autoconf-addr-model can be used for 6lowpan
with only small changes. My comments inline...

Yes, that seems to be reasonable for me.


> 2. I like the "link of undetermined properties"... however you might want=
 to point to a document like draft-baccelli-multi-hop-wireless-communicatio=
ns to point out why links end up like that. RFC4861 also explains that a li=
nk might be non-transitive, so that could also be referenced.

I agree that the baccelli draft is very useful. I am undecided on
whether to include a reference to that draft in the address model.
While I think it could be very useful as a rationale for the address
model, I also understand that the chairs are afraid of going this
direction. The reason is that autoconf is only chartered for a single
document, namely the address model. We are already years behind
schedule. Producing a second document -- and including a reference
from the address-model ID -- which we are not chartered for, could be
difficult to argue for in the IESG.


> 3. You have two open issues in Appendix A. To me both of these are OK alr=
eady. The link model is fine (see 2). If globally unique addresses are need=
ed, leave that to some other mechanism. This is what 6lowpan-nd does for a =
6lowpan network.

I think that the authors of the draft will release an updated version
very soon that removes the Appendix. Is this correct?

> 4. In 6lowpan we would use the "when more specific assumptions can be mad=

prefix across the whole 6lowpan network. So the "MAY be configured with the=
 same prefix" in Section 4 would be applied. In 6lowpan-nd we are able to m=
ake an assumption about connectivity between node-router pairs thanks to ou=
r mechanism defined. So please do keep this clause, it is very useful ;-)

good :-)

> 5. We consider link-local addresses in the same way, this is OK.

good.

> 6. =A0The second bullet point of Section 6.2 needs some expansion not to =
be misunderstood. In addition to the existing sentence, also add text like:=
 ", unless an assumption can be made about connectivity in which case the p=
refix may be /64." The point being that if you can assume connectivity with=
 a router (who somehow advertises a prefix), you may be able to autoconfigu=
re an address using a shared prefix. This is what we do in 6lowpan.


One could argue that this is already implicit due to the sentence in sectio=
n 3:
   "When more specific assumptions can be made regarding the connectivity
   between interfaces, these SHOULD be considered when configuring
   subnet prefixes."

Thanks for your review, Zach.

Yep, makes sense. So instead just summarize the reasons why such a link =
might be categorized like this with a short paragraph in the =
adhoc-addr-model document. You may still point at RFC4861, as =
non-transitivity is mentioned there as well.

Right, so there could be a pointer to Section 3 at least in that bullet =
