Hi Mark,

Here is my 2 cents on this.  When this was an issue with the IESG,
the IESG at that time wanted strong change control over Diameter, like
there is with SIP.  There was a concern that some vendor extensions
might
become defacto standards that would negative impact upon interop.

I have heard similar complaints with RADIUS, where small companies must
licence vendor specs from large companies (as a note, I do work for a
large
company with proprietary RADIUS extentions).  This is a real issue for
some parts of RADIUS in certain network deployments.

There is another issue about SDO usage of vendor codes.  For some SDOs,
like
3GPP, it is less of an issue because 3GPP specifications are relatively
easy
to access.  However, for some SDOs, you have to either be a member of
that
SDO to access the specifications or pay money to access those
specifications.
What the IESG had hoped was that SDOs would submit their Diameter
extensions
to the IETF, so that these specifications would be at least available
for anyone
who wanted to implement them.

I would think that the best possible solution for vendor specifc command
code
would be to allocate a range of codes that IANA would freely handout as
long
as there was a specification pubically available.  Ideally this would be
an
information RFC (perhaps even submitted directly to the RFC editor) so
that
there would be documentation on the extension.

Hi Ahmad,

you raised some interesting discussions during the DIME working group 
meeting. Unfortunately, there was not enough time to address all questions.

I would be great if you could
* summarize your presentation, and
* address some of the raised questions
on the mailing list.

Ciao
Hannes

Hi Hannes,

Thanks a lot for giving me the chance. I really Appreciate it.

As far as the raised issues I can summarize them as follows and I will
have separate threads (probably end of day or early tomorrow) for each
one of them.

1. Is there any field data which support the use case that the draft is
trying to address. (Issue raised by: Madjid and Jouni)
2. Is there any security issue when the FA relay the retransmitted
initial RRQ without consulting AAA in the case of RADIUS-Mode. (Issue
raised by: Pete McCann)

Based on the discussion, I would like to update the draft and submit a
new revision and possibly discuss the next steps.

All,
Please, let me know if there is any issue that was raised and I missed.

Best Regards,
Ahmad

Hello all,

(sorry for cross-posting, this may also be of interest for dime)

when presenting the RadSec draft in IETF69 Chicago, I mentioned the patent=
=20
claims of Nokia concerning Diameter. As a reaction, some participants claim=
ed=20
that RadSec itself implements a subset of the Diameter features and may ver=
y=20
well itself be subject to these patents. So I started an investigation in=20
this respect.

I started the research myself by grabbing a copy of patent EP1147635 by Nok=
ia,=20
which is claiming to affect Diameter. My focus of the patent's examination=
=20
was whether this patent might also affect RadSec.

The content of this patent is, in short, that packets on a network get tagg=
ed=20
as "possible duplicate" on retransmission in order to make the endpoint awa=
re=20
that the received content may be a duplicate of a previous packet. It also=
=20
provides a mechanism to correlate the multiple copies even when the packets=
=20
took different paths through the network.

Diameter does exactly that, described in section 5.5.4 "Failover and Failba=
ck=20
Procedures" of RFC3588: a bit in the Diameter header, the "T" bit, is set=20
whenever a Diameter packet needed to be retransmitted. Also, Diameter packe=
ts=20
carry an end-to-end identifier that makes it possible to identify duplicate=
s.

This means that at least from my point of view, Nokia's claim concerning=20
Diameter is true. Every implementation of the Diameter base protocol will u=
se=20
the patented technology and needs to either license it or will violate it.=
=20
(Note: I am not a lawyer. This is just my interpretation; consider my=20
knowledge being "Slashdot-level").
=46rom the wording in this section 5.5.4 and the explanation of the T bit i=
n=20
chapter 3, it seems that setting the T bit is mandatory on retransmissions,=
=20
so adhering to the protocol specification leaves no room for circumventing=
=20
the content of the patent (e.g., by keeping it 0 at all times).

Luckily, RadSec does not implement such a sophisticated duplicate packet=20
detection algorithm. So, this particular patent appears not to be of any=20
concern for implementors of RadSec.

I will continue investigating the bunch of other patents and patent=20
applications relating to Diameter as soon as I get copies of them. For=20
reference, here is Nokia's claim statement concerning Diameter (as submitte=
d=20
to the IETF IPR tracker):

=2D---------

Title: Nokia's Statement About IPR Claimed in RFC 3588
Received: January 6, 2004
=46rom: harri.t.honkasalo@nokia.com

This is to advise the IETF that Nokia believes the Nokia=20
patents: EP1147635 and AU757984, and the related patent=20
applications: BRPI0007603-1, CA2360093, CN00804050.8, FI990102,=20
JP2000-595452 and US09/903863 may be relevant to Diameter Base=20
Protocol RFC3588.

Nokia agrees not to assert those claims in Nokia above mentioned=20
patents that apply to the RFC3588 and are technically necessary=20
to implement this IETF standard specification against any other=20
party in respect of its implementation of the specification, provided=20
that the party relying on this commitment does not assert its patents=20
against Nokia.

Harri Honkasalo

Hi Hannes,
Sorry, I forgot to summarize my presentation. Here is the summary:

The basic idea of this draft is the following:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Since some SDO's is considering the full deployment of Diameter for MIP4
Authentication, Authorization, and possibly MSA allocation, the
following question presents itself:

What is the anticipated impact of Diameter Mobile IPv4 Application for
MIPv4 Authentication, Authorization, and possibly MSA dynamic allocation
on the MIPv4 session setup in comparison of RADIUS-Model MIPv4
Authentication and Authorization, etc.

High Level Summary of Diameter Mobile IPv4 Application:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
1. The main functionality of the Diameter MIP4 Application is to
Authenticate, Authorize, and optionally allocate Mobility Security
Association of MN-HA and FA-HA.

2. In order for Diameter MIP4 Application to achieve step 1, Diameter
MIP4 Application uses the AAA infrastructure and Diameter protocol not
only to exchange Authentication and Authorization related parameters,
BUT it also, include the MIPv4 RRQ and RRP.

3. In other words, the Foreign Agent does not directly relay the RRQ
received from the MN to the Home Agent as per RFC3344, it includes the
RRQ in the Diameter message AMA and receives the RRP in the Diameter
message AMR.


Criteria used for Comparison:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D
1. RFC3344 mandates; when the MN uses timestamp for replay protection,
the MN must not retransmit a RRQ before 1 second.
2. In wireless networks, most MIPv4 clients sets the first retransmit
timer to 1 second. This is important in order to get the session setup
quickly and not waste air resources.
3. Then, what happens if due to some network condition the Mobile Node
does not receive MIPv4 RRP within 1 second?


How retransmitted initial MIPv4 RRQ message in handled in both models?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

RADIUS-Model MIP4 Auth Case:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D-
1. In the case of RADIUS Model MIPv4 Authentication, AAA infrastructure
is used for Authentication, Authorization, etc. BUT NOT used for
exchanging MIP4 RRQ and RRP between FA and HA.

2. Only in one condition (FA state), RADIUS-model will reauthenticate
the MIPv4 user by contacting AAA server, it is the case when FA receives
a retransmitted initial RRQ while waiting for AAA response.

3. In all other states, waiting for RRP, Received RRP, or Relayed RRP,
the FA considers the user has been authenticated and relays the
retransmitted RRQ directly to the HA without going through AAA
infrastructure.


Diameter MIP4 Application Case:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
1. In the case of Diameter MIPv4 Application,. AAA infrastructure is
used for Authentication, Authorization, etc. AND is USED for exchanging
MIP4 RRQ and RRP between FA and HA.

2. In all conditions (FA states), Diameter MIPv4 Application will
reauthenticate the MIPv4 user by contacting AAA server.

3. Let us also remember that re-authentication of the user in the case
of Diameter MIP4 Application is far more complicated and time consuming
than in the case of RADIUS-Model.


Conclusion:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
In case the network condition creates a situation that the Mobile Node
does not receive initial MIPv4 RRP within one second, Diameter MIPv4
Application will worsen the network condition by unnecessarily relaying
the retransmitted RRQ via AAA (Diameter) infrastructure and
re-authenticating the user instead of relaying the retransmitted RRQ
DIRECTLY to the Home Agent.

Hi All,

=20

    I need some clarification regarding the election process in peer
state machine.

=20

   According to=20
http://www.opendiameter.org/public/draft-fajardo-dime-interop-test-suite
-04.txt
<http://www.opendiameter.org/public/draft-fajardo-dime-interop-test-suit
e-04.txt> ,=20

=20
The election process is described as below=20
=20
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
3.1.1.2.  Election
=20
   This test case refers to Section 5.6.4 of [RFC3588].  Responders must
   be able to resolve contention with initiator peers.
=20
   o  Positive test for establishment of connection with responder
      having higher identity than initiator.  Vendor A initiates
      connection followed by B doing the same a few milliseconds later.
      Vendor A having a higher identity should close B's connection
      attempt.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+

=20

=20

=20

But, in RFC 3588, section  5.6.  Peer State Machine, 5th paragraph
explains

=20

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

   A CER message is always sent on the initiating connection immediately

   after the connection request is successfully completed.  In the case

   of an election, one of the two connections will shut down.  The

   responder connection will survive if the Origin-Host of the local

   Diameter entity is higher than that of the peer; the initiator

   connection will survive if the peer's Origin-Host is higher.  All

   subsequent messages are sent on the surviving connection.  Note that

   the results of an election on one peer are guaranteed to be the

   inverse of the results on the other.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

=20

These are contradicting. I guess the test draft should be corrected. As
per RFC3588,

=20

If A and B are two Peers,

=20

=20

=20

Ai is the initiator of the connection C1; Br is the responder for the
connection C1

Bi is the initiator of the connection C2; Ar is the responder for the
connection C2

=20

Now, during the election process, if Host IP address of A is greater
than that of B, C1 is closed and C2 is kept open for further process.
Similarly if the Host IP address of B is greater than that of A, then C2
is closed and C1 is kept open for the further process.

=20

But the test draft,=20
http://www.opendiameter.org/public/draft-fajardo-dime-interop-test-suite
-04.txt
<http://www.opendiameter.org/public/draft-fajardo-dime-interop-test-suit
e-04.txt>  explains differently. Please confirm that this draft needs to
be corrected.

=20

=20

Thanks,

Bala

The problem here is that companies that want to develop something are just
going to make a vendor specific application, then simply misuse existing
commands.  I'll be willing to wager that this is already happening.

Since we already have vendor-specific applications and vendor-specific
AVP's, I don't see any point in *not* having vendor-specific command codes.

I would probably agree with you, if vendor-specific applications did not
exist.

So, now that people are already doing this, why not let the protocol
actually allow it, instead of having everyone misuse the protocol to get
their tasks done?

Excellent suggestion, John. This is already being done for Application
Ids and IANA could follow the same reference rules for new command codes
assignments:

- IETF: Reference an RFC.

- Non-IETF SDO: Reference an information RFC (preferred) or SDO spec.

- Non-SDO Vendor: Reference is email of vendor contact person.

Regards
Mark

I'm not sure if we should start distinguishing between non-IETF SDOs and 
vendors. It maybe better if they fall in the same category as the 
'Non-IETF' above. Besides, 'vendor contact person' does not seem helpful 
if we want publicly available specification.

victor

Megaco packages have a public and private numbering space. For private numbers, 
only a package name and contact are needed. Any SDO can request a public space 
number upon production of a specification which is subject to expert review.

Mark,

Unfortunately, the IETF does not recognize the difference between SDOs
and
vendors.  SDOs and Vendors would be in the same class.  I think that
there should
be an stable reference of the spec that can be used for the command code
for
either SDOs and Vendors.  Most likely, vendors could file an
informational=20
RFC, if they like.

Hi all,
=20
I was asked to forward this to the DiME, RADext and OPSA WG mailing =
lists. =20
=20
Thanks,
John


	Dear Stefan,

	I asked John to forward this message as I'm not a regular on the DIME =
list.  I'm responsible for handling IETF related IPR cases in Nokia.

	As you suggested, Nokia believes EP1147635, and other members of the =
same patent family, are essential to practice RFC3588.

	However, I do suggest that you, and other folks interested, contact =
your respective legal folks regarding the implication of the existence =
of the patent, in conjunction with our patent declaration.  I do not =
believe that Stefan's claim is correct:

				Every implementation of the =20
				Diameter base protocol will use the patented technology and=20
				needs to either license it or will violate it.=20


	In order to help the group to understand our declaration, please allow =
me to provide a simplistic explanation.  As for the binding legal =
language, please see the declaration itself (cited correctly by Stefan =
in his original email):


			Nokia agrees not to assert those claims in Nokia above =20
			mentioned patents that apply to the RFC3588 and are=20
			technically necessary to implement this IETF standard=20
			specification against any other party in respect of its=20
			implementation of the specification, provided that the party=20
			relying on this commitment does not assert its patents against Nokia.


	Our licensing declaration is what is commonly known as a "non-assert" =
statement.  What it says is that if you don't come after Nokia with your =
patents, Nokia will not use its patents against your RFC 3588 =
implementation.
	 =20
	Non-assert statements like this are widely used in the IETF, as they =
are believed to provide sufficient defensive protection for the owner, =
while still allowing implementers and users to exercise the protected =
technology without a license and for free, as long as they behave =
similarly nice (i.e. not going after Nokia with their patents).  In =
that, non-asserts are believed to be compatible with most open source =
licenses.

	Feel free to contact me in private if you have more questions.

			Subject: [Dime] First results on Diameter vs. RadSec patent=20
			research:EP1147635

			Hello all,

			(sorry for cross-posting, this may also be of interest for dime)

			when presenting the RadSec draft in IETF69 Chicago, I=20
			mentioned the patent claims of Nokia concerning Diameter. As a=20
			reaction, some participants claimed that RadSec itself=20
			implements a subset of the Diameter features and may very well=20
			itself be subject to these patents. So I started an=20
			investigation in this respect.

			I started the research myself by grabbing a copy of patent=20
			EP1147635 by Nokia, which is claiming to affect Diameter. My=20
			focus of the patent's examination was whether this patent=20
			might also affect RadSec.

			The content of this patent is, in short, that packets on a=20
			network get tagged as "possible duplicate" on retransmission=20
			in order to make the endpoint aware that the received content=20
			may be a duplicate of a previous packet. It also provides a=20
			mechanism to correlate the multiple copies even when the=20
			packets took different paths through the network.

			Diameter does exactly that, described in section 5.5.4=20
			"Failover and Failback Procedures" of RFC3588: a bit in the=20
			Diameter header, the "T" bit, is set whenever a Diameter=20
			packet needed to be retransmitted. Also, Diameter packets=20
			carry an end-to-end identifier that makes it possible to=20
			identify duplicates.

			This means that at least from my point of view, Nokia's claim=20
			concerning Diameter is true. Every implementation of the=20
			Diameter base protocol will use the patented technology and=20
			needs to either license it or will violate it.=20
			(Note: I am not a lawyer. This is just my interpretation;=20
			consider my knowledge being "Slashdot-level").
			From the wording in this section 5.5.4 and the explanation of=20
			the T bit in chapter 3, it seems that setting the T bit is=20
			mandatory on retransmissions, so adhering to the protocol=20
			specification leaves no room for circumventing the content of=20
			the patent (e.g., by keeping it 0 at all times).

			Luckily, RadSec does not implement such a sophisticated=20
			duplicate packet detection algorithm. So, this particular=20
			patent appears not to be of any concern for implementors of RadSec.

			I will continue investigating the bunch of other patents and=20
			patent applications relating to Diameter as soon as I get=20
			copies of them. For reference, here is Nokia's claim statement=20
			concerning Diameter (as submitted to the IETF IPR tracker):

			----------

			Title: Nokia's Statement About IPR Claimed in RFC 3588
			Received: January 6, 2004
			From: harri.t.honkasalo@nokia.com

			This is to advise the IETF that Nokia believes the Nokia
			patents: EP1147635 and AU757984, and the related patent
			applications: BRPI0007603-1, CA2360093, CN00804050.8, FI990102,
			JP2000-595452 and US09/903863 may be relevant to Diameter Base=20
			Protocol RFC3588.

			Nokia agrees not to assert those claims in Nokia above=20
			mentioned patents that apply to the RFC3588 and are=20
			technically necessary to implement this IETF standard=20
			specification against any other party in respect of its=20
			implementation of the specification, provided that the party=20
			relying on this commitment does not assert its patents against Nokia.

That would probably be desirable, but I don't see why it should be
required.  After all, these are _vendor-specific_ extensions: even in
the case of SDOs, I can't see any real reason why anyone outside the
organization really needs to know how they work.  As for your earlier
comment about vendors having to join SDOs or license proprietary
extensions from other vendors: if you want to play, you have to pay.

Ditto for SDOs.

I agree that a reference to a publicly available spec SHOULD be included
when requesting a new app/command code. However, tightening the 'SHOULD'
to a 'MUST' would result in IANA refusing to assign an id for apps that
are unpublished because they are company confidential and I think that
is unnecessarily restrictive.

Mark

Please note that the publication date of RFC 3588 (which included a Nokia 
author) was September 2003, and that this Nokia IPR claim was submitted to 
the IETF on January 6, 2004, several months after the Diameter RFC was 
published.  As co-chair of the AAA WG, I would not have allowed RFC 3588 to 
be submitted to the IESG for publication without WG discussion of the IPR 
claim, had the IPR claim been submitted prior to publication of the Diameter 
RFC.

It always struck me as a bizarre protocol design how Diameter tunnels MIP4.
More so than the timer issue Ahmad describes, I'd be concerned about the
architectural misalignment of RADIUS and Diameter. Architectures that are
using RADIUS would have to jump some additional hoops to adapt to Diameter
when using MIP4. It does not have to be that way.

Not sure if this is covered.

RFC3855 describes Acct-Multi-Session-Id as UTF8String.

RADIUS defines Acct-Multi-Session-Id as String that SHOULD contain UTF8
String.

Thus this difference can create interoperability issues between RADIUS
and Diameter.

The suggested remedy is to define Acct-MultiSession-Id in the similar
sense as in RADIUS that is as an OctetString.  That should be
sufficient.  However, we could say that it SHOULD contain UTF-8
characters.

Note NASREQ (4005) is silent about this descrepency.

That would probably be desirable, but I don't see why it should be
required.  After all, these are _vendor-specific_ extensions: even in
the case of SDOs, I can't see any real reason why anyone outside the
organization really needs to know how they work.  As for your earlier
comment about vendors having to join SDOs or license proprietary
extensions from other vendors: if you want to play, you have to pay.

Ditto for SDOs.

Perhaps this is a naive question, but it seems to be worth asking
anyway.

It seems to me that the command code is already in a namespace, this
being defined by the application id.  This concept is used by other
protocols, most notably TCAP, where the operations codes (or commands in
Diameter) are defined within the domain of the application-context-name
(or Application-Id in Diameter).  A quick check of the Mobile
Application Part (MAP) and CAMEL Application Part (CAP) does show
overlap.

If one accepts the observation, then it stands to reason that when the
vender specific Application-Id is used all command codes used by
messages with the vender specific Application-id are vender specific
already.

With respect to routing, it seems odd to me that the command code would
need to understood by the routing algorithm in order for inter opt to
work.  What seems to be the only necessary information needed by the
routing would be:

                { Origin-Host }
                { Origin-Realm }
                { Destination-Realm }
                [ Destination-Host ]

For the request and in the response:

                 { Result-Code }
                 { Origin-Host }
                 { Origin-Realm }
* [ Proxy-Info ]

In addition to the above, the peers would need to agree that the
application-id can be supported in peer connection CER/CEA exchange,
which should not be a problem for routers.

Diameter does not segment the information to support the base protocol
functions from the data necessary for support of the application
(everything is an AVP). Since there is no clean delineation between the
bits for base and everything else we need to rely on best practice to
insure that the inter operation works.

If one accepts the premise that the command code is within the domain of
the Application ID, then perhaps the best solution is a description of
what the minimum requirements are for a new application and the best
practice to achieve this in a vender specific application.

Excellent suggestion, John. This is already being done for Application
Ids and IANA could follow the same reference rules for new command codes
assignments:

- IETF: Reference an RFC.

- Non-IETF SDO: Reference an information RFC (preferred) or SDO spec.

- Non-SDO Vendor: Reference is email of vendor contact person.

Mark

Hi all,
One scenario to be discussed is as below.

One user is going to make a call with his friend. He estimates it will take about 20 minutes to complete the call. Prices for calls at different QoS levels are different, good quality calls will cost more than low quality ones do. So he gotta know the QoS level at which his account balance can provide 20 minutes quotas or more for him.

Is it supported by the current QoS Appl.?

David,

I copied Stephan on the mail, as he asked to be contacted for any
follow-up questions.=20
With respect to being compatible to Open Source, what is meant is that
Nokia will not
assert its patents against open source implementations (as far as I
know), though
Stephan can correct me.

John

Hi Bala,

I think the bis- draft/RFC is correct in this regard. Please note that
election has to be held at the responder (listening) end. The statements are
w.r.t that node.

1. The responder connection will survice if the Origin-Host of the local
Diameter entity is higher than that of the peer (This is correct. The
election will result in Win-Election result at the responder in this case -
in case listening end too had iniated a transport connection.)

2. The initiator connection will survive if the peer's Origin-Host is higher
(This means, the node that does the connect has a higher Origin-Host and
will win the election. So the 'responder' node has to close the connection
initated from its side).

Hope this helps.

cheers,
Harish

Hi All,



    I need some clarification regarding the election process in peer state
machine.



   According to
http://www.opendiameter.org/public/draft-fajardo-dime-interop-test-suite-04.txt,




The election process is described as below



+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

3.1.1.2.  Election



   This test case refers to Section 5.6.4 of [RFC3588].  Responders must

   be able to resolve contention with initiator peers.



   o  Positive test for establishment of connection with responder

      having higher identity than initiator.  Vendor A initiates

      connection followed by B doing the same a few milliseconds later.

      *Vendor A having a higher identity should close B's connection*

*      attempt.*

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++







But, in RFC 3588, section  5.6.  Peer State Machine, 5th paragraph explains



++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

   A CER message is always sent on the initiating connection immediately

   after the connection request is successfully completed.  In the case

   of an election, one of the two connections will shut down*.  The*

*   responder connection will survive if the Origin-Host of the local*

*   Diameter entity is higher than that of the peer;* the initiator

   connection will survive if the peer's Origin-Host is higher.  All

   subsequent messages are sent on the surviving connection.  Note that

   the results of an election on one peer are guaranteed to be the

   inverse of the results on the other.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++



These are contradicting. I guess the test draft should be corrected. As per
RFC3588,



If A and B are two Peers,





Ai is the initiator of the connection C1; Br is the responder for the
connection C1

Bi is the initiator of the connection C2; Ar is the responder for the
connection C2



Now, during the election process, if Host IP address of A is greater than
that of B, C1 is closed and C2 is kept open for further process. Similarly
if the Host IP address of B is greater than that of A, then C2 is closed and
C1 is kept open for the further process.



But the test draft,
http://www.opendiameter.org/public/draft-fajardo-dime-interop-test-suite-04.txtexplains
differently. Please confirm that this draft needs to be corrected.





Thanks,

Bala

Hi all,

I have been trying to establish how an E.164 number (Address) is encoded 
into the Diameter Base Address format.
For IPv4 addresses everything seems quite clear (IPv4 = Address Family 
1), i.e. the IPv4 address 10.11.12.128 is
encoded as an octet string 0x0001*0A0B0C80*.

*The question is how does an E.164 number get encoded,  this being 
Address Family 8:
*(E.164 = Mobile telephone  number = MSISDN, roughly speaking)*
*
Let us take the E.164 number 491715454121.  I see several possibilities: 
either (A) as UTF8
    0x0008*343931373135343534313231* 
or (B) as Binary Coded Decimal (BCD)
    0x0008*491715454121*
or (C) a binary number/integer
    0x0008*727C8664A9*

Does any body know either the theoretically correct answer or have 
inter-op practical experience?
Depending on the answer, it might be worth adding a note to RFC 3588bis.

Many thanks in advance

Mike



References:

Diameter Base defines the derived format "address" in section 4.3

    "The Address format is derived from the OctetString AVP Base
    Format. It is a discriminated union, representing, for example a
    32-bit (IPv4) [IPV4] or 128-bit (IPv6) [IPV6] address, most
    significant octet first. The first two octets of the Address
    AVP represents the AddressType, which contains an Address Family
    defined in [IANAADFAM]. The AddressType is used to discriminate
    the content and format of the remaining octets."

The reference is the IANA Address Family Numbers, I quote:

    Several protocols deal with multiple address families.  The 16-bit

Hi Tina,

IMHO, this could be classified as a different "service". For example =
right now people check a website or a paper document (or sometimes they =
listen to an announcement) where prices are listed (maybe not for =
different QoS levels but for different destinations, but conceptually it =
is similar).

   Thanks,
   Tolga

Hi all,
One scenario to be discussed is as below.
=A0
One user is going to make a call with his friend. He estimates it will =
take about 20 minutes to complete the call. Prices for calls at =
different QoS levels are different, good quality calls will cost more =
than low quality ones do. So he gotta know the QoS level at which his =
account balance can provide 20 minutes quotas or more for him.
=A0
Is it supported by the current QoS Appl.?

Yes, but in this case the policy to be used for IANA cannot be labeled
as 'Specification Required', which according to RFC 2434 implies:=20

Specification Required - Values and their meaning must be
           documented in an RFC or other permanent and readily available
           reference, in sufficient detail so that interoperability
           between independent implementations is possible.

You need to be clear what to ask from IANA.=20

Hi All,

I am confused about Peer State Machine in RFC 3588.

This is my understanding

1) The peer state machine actually combines two state machines,Initiator 
   (client) state machine and Responder (server) state machine.
2) States and events with "I" are possible only in initiator.
3) States and events with "R" are possible only in responder.
4) States and events without any prefix can come in both.

But I also see some initiator states like "WAIT-I-CEA" that can receive events 
from responder like "R-Conn-CER", how is this possible? If I am wrong somewhere 
please correct me.

Regards,
Harsha

Hi Bala,

I think the bis- draft/RFC is correct in this regard. Please note that
election has to be held at the responder (listening) end. The statements are
w.r.t that node.

1. The responder connection will survice if the Origin-Host of the local
Diameter entity is higher than that of the peer (This is correct. The
election will result in Win-Election result at the responder in this case -
in case listening end too had iniated a transport connection.)

2. The initiator connection will survive if the peer's Origin-Host is higher
(This means, the node that does the connect has a higher Origin-Host and
will win the election. So the 'responder' node has to close the connection
initated from its side).

Hope this helps.

cheers,
Harish

To: dime@ietf.org



Hi All,



    I need some clarification regarding the election process in peer state
machine.



   According to
http://www.opendiameter.org/public/draft-fajardo-dime-interop-test-suite-04.txt,




The election process is described as below



+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

3.1.1.2.  Election



   This test case refers to Section 5.6.4 of [RFC3588].  Responders must

   be able to resolve contention with initiator peers.



   o  Positive test for establishment of connection with responder

      having higher identity than initiator.  Vendor A initiates

      connection followed by B doing the same a few milliseconds later.

      *Vendor A having a higher identity should close B's connection*

*      attempt.*

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++







But, in RFC 3588, section  5.6.  Peer State Machine, 5th paragraph explains



++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

   A CER message is always sent on the initiating connection immediately

   after the connection request is successfully completed.  In the case

   of an election, one of the two connections will shut down*.  The*

*   responder connection will survive if the Origin-Host of the local*

*   Diameter entity is higher than that of the peer;* the initiator

   connection will survive if the peer's Origin-Host is higher.  All

   subsequent messages are sent on the surviving connection.  Note that

   the results of an election on one peer are guaranteed to be the

   inverse of the results on the other.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++



These are contradicting. I guess the test draft should be corrected. As per
RFC3588,



If A and B are two Peers,





Ai is the initiator of the connection C1; Br is the responder for the
connection C1

Bi is the initiator of the connection C2; Ar is the responder for the
connection C2



Now, during the election process, if Host IP address of A is greater than
that of B, C1 is closed and C2 is kept open for further process. Similarly
if the Host IP address of B is greater than that of A, then C2 is closed and
C1 is kept open for the further process.



But the test draft,
http://www.opendiameter.org/public/draft-fajardo-dime-interop-test-suite-04.txtexplains
differently. Please confirm that this draft needs to be corrected.





Thanks,

Bala

Hi All,

I am confused about Peer State Machine in RFC 3588.

This is my understanding

1) The peer state machine actually combines two state machines,Initiator 
   (client) state machine and Responder (server) state machine.
2) States and events with "I" are possible only in initiator.
3) States and events with "R" are possible only in responder.
4) States and events without any prefix can come in both.

But I also see some initiator states like "WAIT-I-CEA" that can receive events 
from responder like "R-Conn-CER", how is this possible? If I am wrong somewhere 
please correct me.

Regards,
Harsha 

PS: Sorry for following a wrong thread in the last mail.

Hi Bala,

I think the bis- draft/RFC is correct in this regard. Please note that
election has to be held at the responder (listening) end. The statements are
w.r.t that node.

1. The responder connection will survice if the Origin-Host of the local
Diameter entity is higher than that of the peer (This is correct. The
election will result in Win-Election result at the responder in this case -
in case listening end too had iniated a transport connection.)

2. The initiator connection will survive if the peer's Origin-Host is higher
(This means, the node that does the connect has a higher Origin-Host and
will win the election. So the 'responder' node has to close the connection
initated from its side).

Hope this helps.

cheers,
Harish

Subject: [Dime] Clarification regarding the election process
To: dime@ietf.org



Hi All,



    I need some clarification regarding the election process in peer state
machine.



   According to
http://www.opendiameter.org/public/draft-fajardo-dime-interop-test-suite-04.txt,




The election process is described as below



+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

3.1.1.2.  Election



   This test case refers to Section 5.6.4 of [RFC3588].  Responders must

   be able to resolve contention with initiator peers.



   o  Positive test for establishment of connection with responder

      having higher identity than initiator.  Vendor A initiates

      connection followed by B doing the same a few milliseconds later.

      *Vendor A having a higher identity should close B's connection*

*      attempt.*

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++







But, in RFC 3588, section  5.6.  Peer State Machine, 5th paragraph explains



++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

   A CER message is always sent on the initiating connection immediately

   after the connection request is successfully completed.  In the case

   of an election, one of the two connections will shut down*.  The*

*   responder connection will survive if the Origin-Host of the local*

*   Diameter entity is higher than that of the peer;* the initiator

   connection will survive if the peer's Origin-Host is higher.  All

   subsequent messages are sent on the surviving connection.  Note that

   the results of an election on one peer are guaranteed to be the

   inverse of the results on the other.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++



These are contradicting. I guess the test draft should be corrected. As per
RFC3588,



If A and B are two Peers,





Ai is the initiator of the connection C1; Br is the responder for the
connection C1

Bi is the initiator of the connection C2; Ar is the responder for the
connection C2



Now, during the election process, if Host IP address of A is greater than
that of B, C1 is closed and C2 is kept open for further process. Similarly
if the Host IP address of B is greater than that of A, then C2 is closed and
C1 is kept open for the further process.



But the test draft,
http://www.opendiameter.org/public/draft-fajardo-dime-interop-test-suite-04.txtexplains
differently. Please confirm that this draft needs to be corrected.





Thanks,

Bala

I agree with Tolga.  The user must consult with his home
provider for the per-minute charges.  The price paid by
the home provider for all the NEs along the path will be
the wholesale price, and the home provider likely has a
contract with the end user for a different price.  The
Diameter QoS application only deals with the wholesale
price.

Dan,

> You need to be clear what to ask from IANA.=20

I think we've concluded that "First Come First Served" is the most
appropriate policy for assignment of Vendor-Specific Command Codes.=20

In IETF, "Vendor-Specific" does not distinguish between SDO and
equipment vendor. A single IANA assignment policy for these two groups
is not ideal: The "Specification Required" policy is preferable for SDOs
but it simply does not work for proprietary commands.

The "First Come First Served" assignment policy requires "a brief
description of what the value would be used for" [RFC2434]. I suggest
that RFC3588bis clarifies this in the context of Vendor-Specific Command
Codes with the following text in section 11.2.1 (following Glen's
proposed text):

"The request for a Vendor-Specific Command Code SHOULD include a
reference to a publicly available specification which documents the
command in sufficient detail for interoperability between independent
implementations. If the specification is not publicly available, the
request for a Vendor-Specific Command Code MUST include a point of
contact for the proposed command."

The Vendor-Specific Application IDs already assigned by IANA follow
these rules so there should not be any issues with extending them to
Vendor-Specific Command Codes.

Regards
Mark

Hi Pete,
I agree the wholesale model should be supported for sure, but it might =
be possible to have another model, in the roaming scenario, the visited =
network, based on the agreement (or negotiate) with home network on =
Price/QoS for a particular service, may perform QoS handling on =
individual session/request basis. Maybe I misunderstood the wholesale =
price/model you refer to.

Hi, Dong,

I don't quite understand the new model you are proposing - I
think you are saying that individual Network Elements might
have a negotiated price with the home network.  I think that's
fine and can be accommodated; the QAR message should contain
the price that the NE is going to charge for its service.  The
NE might take into account contracts that may exist with the
home network, since we assume that the NE knows the Destination
Realm.

-Pete

I also think the QoS application should be able to support this new =
model, may be named as retail scenario.

It seems to me there might be more common in practice to have one local =
PDF (authorizing entity) residing in the visited network domain to talk =
to the authorizing entity in the home network rather than asking each NE =
for this kind of negotiation/decision.

Hi, Dong,

I don't quite understand the new model you are proposing - I think you =
are saying that individual Network Elements might have a negotiated =
price with the home network.  I think that's fine and can be =
accommodated; the QAR message should contain the price that the NE is =
going to charge for its service.  The NE might take into account =
contracts that may exist with the home network, since we assume that the =
NE knows the Destination Realm.

Sure, I think we should allow a PDF to add the price information to
a QAR that is on its way toward the home network.

The retail scenario in my mind is:
When UE is roaming in visited network and requests a service, the home =
network will determine the price/QoS based on subscription and resource =
availability (if multiple price/QoS options are allowed), and the =
agreement with that visited network, it is also possible that home =
network and visited network talk to each other on the fly to identify =
the right price/QoS based on real resource status when the request =
occurs (either push or pull mode can be used for the interaction =
depending on the network/UE capability).=20

That organizations can dynamically negotiate the price for QoS is =
interesting but a bit too complex as a first step IMHO. I think, it is =
better to address it in an extension document.

My understanding is the Command Codes are taken from a single global
namespace in order to allow Command re-use. Commands from one Diameter
application can be re-used in another and are still required to conform
to the original ABNF. However, the Command header in this case would
contain the Application ID of the 'using application' and not the
'defining application'. This is required because the Application ID in
the Command Header is used as a secondary key field in routing table
lookups.

I don't think this case was covered in the original 3588 but it is
clarified in section 5.3 of the Application Design Guidelines draft.=20

Mark

The basic retail could be dynamically negotiate the QoS and decide the =
proper price based on static SLA (or vice versa). I thought it can be =
supported by current QAR, QIR with some add-on parameters (if those =
parameters have not yet defined).=20

The negotiation of SLA on the fly might be a bit complex if that is what =
you are concerned, which I can see.

[TOLGA]It may/may not be doable purely from technical perspective. IMHO =

Hi Tolga,

The model you described is not exact as I am thinking. The key point in =
the retail model is that visited network could provide some QoS info on =
per call level to facilitate the decision in addition to home network =
policy (against the pure wholesale model). This interaction might be =
transparent to end user totally.=20

If the carrier likes to offer the different options of QoS/price to end =
user directly, the mechanism should be helpful. I don't see real issue =
from a purely technical perspective :-) although this scenario is not =
what I am concerned and addressed sofar. In your example, when UE =
selects a price/qos plan, it would send a message e.g. SIP to request =
the authorization from its home SP, before getting back the confirmation =
to UE, the SP will check and allocate the resources along the path.

Certainly, the options of the price on the list would be very limited =
typically, may not be more than what you can see in the gas station, I =
guess :-).=20

Regards,
Dong=20

Hi all,
Tks for all your reply. I did not sleep well yesterday night, due to =
the jet=20
lag, or I knew you guys were posting a lot during my sleep;-)

I think Tolga understood my original meaning more precisely.

The detailed scenario is below.
The user has a device/phone/soft client etc... to make voice/video ca=
lls. He=20
(I would say she :) can select multiple QoS levels of this communicat=
ion by=20
pressing/selecting a button.
Then he puts the destination address/number, the quota he needs (for=
=20
example, 20 minutes), push the dial-button.

(1)One is: The Authorizing Entity calculates different quotas accordi=
ng to=20
the user's account balance and different QoS levels, and then returns=
 the=20
result to user's device=E3=80=82
The user selects a quality level whose matching quota is equal to the=
=20
required quota or more than it. Maybe the user will select the best q=
uality=20
meeting his need on quota.

(2)The other is: The Authorizing Entity calculates different quotas=
=20
according to the account balance and different QoS levels, and then s=
elects=20
the best quality level meeting the user's need on quota on its own. T=
hen the=20
Authorizing Entity returns the best quality level to network elements=
 in=20
order to reserve resources.

B. R.
Tina

Hi Tolga,

The model you described is not exact as I am thinking. The key point =
in the=20
retail model is that visited network could provide some QoS info on p=
er call=20
level to facilitate the decision in addition to home network policy (=
against=20
the pure wholesale model). This interaction might be transparent to e=
nd user=20
totally.

If the carrier likes to offer the different options of QoS/price to e=
nd user=20
directly, the mechanism should be helpful. I don't see real issue fro=
m a=20
purely technical perspective :-) although this scenario is not what I=
 am=20
concerned and addressed sofar. In your example, when UE selects a pri=
ce/qos=20
plan, it would send a message e.g. SIP to request the authorization f=
rom its=20
home SP, before getting back the confirmation to UE, the SP will chec=
k and=20
allocate the resources along the path.

Certainly, the options of the price on the list would be very limited=
=20
typically, may not be more than what you can see in the gas station, =
I guess=20
:-).

Regards,
Dong

[TOLGA]It may/may not be doable purely from technical perspective. IM=
HO it=20
is not an immediate need in practice though. Just to make sure that I=
=20
understood this model correctly:
I have a device/phone/softclient etc... to make voice/video calls. I =
can=20
select the quality of this communication by pressing/selecting a butt=
on. I=20
put the destination address/number, push the dial-button (or whatever=
 is its=20
equivalent) and see some price-tag for different levels of quality. T=
hen I=20
select a quality level.

IMHO, use of resources associated with QoS could be dynamic enough to=
 make=20
this model impractical. For example, it is not guaranteed that during=
 the=20
time between the network issued the price info and hit the button to =
select=20
a service level, overall resource allocation in the network stays the=
 same.

My understanding of Tina's message was that she is asking to convey s=
ome=20
information about static pricing.

Hi all

I have some comments in the DIME WG when the draft is presented in Chicago.
I would like to summarize my comments here.

The main idea of the draft is based on that " 
The access authentication procedure into the Proxy
Mobile IPv6 Domain resembles the Mobile IPv6 integrated scenario
bootstrapping"

I would like to highlight some differences and their influence on AAA interface.
1)The security association is between MAG and LMA, not MN and LMA
2)PMIPv6 now only deals with the P-t-P link model, in which case
  it is very probable that the LMA has no any idea about the MN's IP addess
3)In the PMIPv6 ,there is another important function, that is,
  the all MAGs should run consistently to emulate the MN's home link characteritics

The following is the detailed comments:
1)Adding information exchange between LMA and AAA server to convey
  key material when LMA<->MAG SA is established using EAP authentication.
2)Clarifying the meaning FQDN, and enabling dynamical LMA discovery
3)DNS update. It is possible for MAG to initate DNS update
4)the usage of PMIP6-MAG-Address.
5)Adding address configuration mode attribute to emulate the link.

BR
Frank

Please find below my comments after an initial review of QoS application =
draft. I tried to list first the generic comments/questions and then the =
ones which are corresponding to specific sections.

  Thanks,
  Tolga

1- As indicated during IETF69 Dime sessions as well, more explanation is =
necessary for push mode operation; particularly state machines and =
explanation of the procedures at each step of the operation. IMHO, push =
and pull modes seem different enough to justify two different =
applications.

2- An explanation of how failure scenarios need to be handled could be =
useful.

3- I feel like Credit Control Application (CCA) is what we need for pull =
mode. Functionality currently defined in the document is quite similar =
to it. Is the reason, why CCA is not used, addition of new AVPs with =
M-bit set to CCA commands? I guess, even in this case, one approach is =
referencing CCA and just defining new commands (with new command codes =
and the new AVPs) and linking them to CCA commands in terms of semantics =
(with semantics of the new AVPs explained in QoS document). If not all =
flexibility provided by CCA is necessary, this could be indicated as =
well. I will start a new thread about this (what to do if one wants to =
reuse an existing application -because the semantics provided by that =
application are a good match- but wants to add a few new AVPs with M-bit =
set) regarding its impact on Application Design Guideline work.

4- I think for push mode, the direction in the draft is the right one, =
i.e. using new messages to install QoS reservation.

5- I guess we should cover how emergency sessions are to be handled. I =
didn't check whether there is an already suitable AVP for this but some =
AVP identifying the priority of the QoS request could be useful (and =
semantics about its use should be defined as well)

6- Especially for push mode, there should be a way for NE to signal loss =
of an existing reservation. This mechanism should allow signaling of =
loss of a single flow in a session with multiple flows.

7- Some section about different use cases could be a good idea, e.g =
interaction between different organizations in different scenarios, NAT =
traversal issues etc.. It could be an idea to have this as a separate =
document.

8-=20
1. Introduction
"However, when bandwidth is scarce and must be carefully
managed, such as in cellular networks, or when applications and
transport protocols lack the capability to perform end-to-end
congestion control, explicit reservation techniques are required."
Why is end-to-end mechanisms not suitable for the first case ("when =
bandwidth resources are scarce")?

9-
2. Terminology
"Application Server

An application server is a network entity that exchanges signaling
messages with an application endpoint.  It may be a source of
authorization for QoS-enhanced application flows.  For example, a
SIP server is one kind of application server."
I don't think SIP server is the right terminology for that type of =
functionality. SIP Application Server or SIP proxy seems to be a better =
example.

10-=20
2. Terminology
"Application Endpoint

An application endpoint is an entity in an end user device that
exchanges signaling messages with application servers or directly
with other application endpoints.  Based on the result of this
signaling, the endpoint may make a request for QoS from the
network.  For example, a SIP User Agent is one kind of application
endpoint."
Is it mandatory for Application Endpoint to initiate application =
signaling before asking for QoS in an end-to-end fashion?

11-
2. Terminology
Network Element
Could be an entity different than a QoS aware router as well, e.g. a =
cable modem termination system.

12-
2. Terminology
Network Element
"For almost all scenarios this entity triggers the protocol interaction
described in this document."
This sentence ignores push model; "for almost all scenarios" is too =
strong.

13-
2. Terminology
"Push Mode
In this mode, the QoS authorization process is invoked by the
request from Application Server or local policies in the
Authorizing Entity."
What does "local policies" refer to? What is a real life example for =
this? Does it refer to something like installing filters statically?

14-
3. Framework
Should cover push model as well.

15-
3. Framework
"If defined properly, the interface between the routers and AAA cloud
would be identical in both cases."
Does this refer to using the same interface for push and pull modes? If =
so, I guess it is not true, we use different messages.=20

16-
3.2.2
When listing what mode is suitable for which type of network, discussing =
the reasons rather than just listing the names could be better (or just =
deleting that part completely).

17-
3.3.1
"With the 'Two party scheme' the QoS
resource requesting entity is authenticated by the Network Element
and the authorization decision is made either locally at the Network
Element itself or offloaded to a trusted entity (most likely within
the same administrative domain).  In the former case no Diameter QoS
protocol interaction is required."
Why is QoS protocol interaction necessary for the latter case? I thought =
this would be completely independent of QoS reservation itself.

18-
Figure 4
I would think that an explicit "Authorization Token Request" is optional =
and such a token could be included in application signaling based on =
configuration/policy. It could be a good idea to clarify this in the =
text or in the figure.

19-
3.3.2
The distinction between "endpoint initiated" and "network initiated" =
seems a bit artificial to me. At the end, it is *something* signaled by =
endpoint (or is the idea application server reserving QoS out of the =
blue?), which triggers the QoS reservation. The level of explicitness of =
QoS information in that signal doesn't really matter much from QoS =
application perspective.=20

20-
4.1
Parties Involved
"Note that the QoS resource requesting entity is only indirectly
involved in the message exchange.  This entity provides the trigger
to initiate the Diameter QoS protocol interaction by transmitting QoS
signaling messages."
I guess this part is ignoring push mode. The trigger could be =
application signaling from which corresponding QoS parameters can be =
extracted.

21-
4.2
Diameter QoS Authorization Session Establishment
"A Signaling-session-Id (if
present) SHOULD be used together with the generated Acc-Multi-
Session-Id AVP (see Section 7.3) for binding the authorization and
the accounting session information in case of end host mobility
(i.e., to correlate the Diameter sessions that are initiated for the
same signaling session from different QoS NE)."
I think we first need to define the semantics how mobility is going to =
work in such a case. For example, if the new NE is controlled by another =
organization, how would be the interaction with the initial NE?

22-
IMHO, DIAMETER_SUCCESS instead of DIAMETER_LIMITED_SUCCESS could be =
used. The expected message flow/behavior is already defined as parts of =
the procedures. Upon receipt of DIAMETER_SUCCESS, the requesting entity =
would know what it needs to do next.

This draft is largely indecipherable.  Although there may be
requirements in there, I can't find them and there seems to be no actual
description of the problem it's trying to solve.  My _guess_ is that for
some unknown reason you are trying to use the network as a state
repository so that it can recover state after a failure.  Is that right?
If so, why is this scheme better than, say, NVRAM?

[Ulf1: Although the intention of draft-bodin-dime-auditing-reqs-02 is to
capture needs for auditing in a wider sense the usage that triggered us
writing the draft is the ETSI TISPAN RACS/ITU-T RACF, which is an entity
keeping track of resource reservations for IP-based networks. The states
kept in such entity is mot necesserily present in any network device. At
failover from active to standby NVRAM does not help. I.e. non-volatile
local storage does not help when failing over between physically
separted entities. draft-asveren-dime-state-recovery-01 explores the
problem of state recovery further and may do a better job in actually
defining requirements for state recovery/auditing.]=20

Maybe part of the problem is the (mis)use of the word auditing.
Thinking that I was ignorant I made a rather extensive search of
dictionaries and was unable to find a definition of the word "auditing"
that remotely resembled "protocol assisted (sic) state recovery".

[Ulf1: I can agree that the word auditing can be misleading. State
recovery may indeed better indicate what this is all about.]

Why?

[Ulf1: Earlier this year we debated this very valid question on the
mailing list. My and some others oppinion are that mechanisms for state
recovery (I'll use that term instead of auditing) should be defined by
the IETF for usage by various Diameter applications e.g. such as those
defined by ETSI TISPAN, ITU-T, 3GPP, etc. instead of relying on these
SDOs defining separate mechanisms potentially for each individual
application. By that we can avoid different mechanisms being used for
basically the same thing, which I fear easily can result in less than
optimal solutions.]

I'd actually prefer to see a document saying why this is actually needed
in a real network, rather than one that assumes its necessity as a
starting point.  BTW, it was the lack of that clear necessity that led
to the demise of the original resource management work, IIRC.

[Ulf2: Unfortunately access to specifications published by ETSI and ITU
requires membership or purchase of each particular publication. The
documents can most likely be shared using a liason statement issued by
ETSI and/or ITU in case we need those specifciations for reference (in

those SDOs). However, the MSF (Multi-Service Forum) has published a
document giving an overview of this kind of entity that I believe could

[Ulf2: Yes, that's my understanding as well for why the work was demised
a couple of years back. However, given the appearance of RACS/RACF in
ETSI TISPAN/ITU-T and the widespread usage of Diameter in 3GPP/3GPP2/MSF
etc. I think this shows that that mechanisms for state recovery is
actually needed for products now being developed for usage in real
networks.=20

And, in TISPAN, H.248 was back in 2005 actually considered as an
alternative to Diameter to be used for one of the interfaces to RACS
partly due to its auditing capabilities that also can be used for state
recovery (H.248 is used in the published architecture, but for a
different interface).]=20

I'd actually prefer to see a document saying why this is actually needed
in a real network, rather than one that assumes its necessity as a
starting point.  BTW, it was the lack of that clear necessity that led
to the demise of the original resource management work, IIRC.

[Ulf2: Yes, that's my understanding as well for why the work was demised
a couple of years back. However, given the appearance of RACS/RACF in
ETSI TISPAN/ITU-T and the widespread usage of Diameter in 3GPP/3GPP2/MSF
etc. I think this shows that that mechanisms for state recovery is
actually needed for products now being developed for usage in real
networks.

And, in TISPAN, H.248 was back in 2005 actually considered as an
alternative to Diameter to be used for one of the interfaces to RACS
partly due to its auditing capabilities that also can be used for state
recovery (H.248 is used in the published architecture, but for a
different interface).]

Actually one does not even need a TIES account. ITU-T is making its
specifications available for free on experimental basis for now as I
understand at http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC/e.=20

Great. Thank you Tina and Dan for pointing this out. IMO having open

honest I've never understood completely why restricting access (i.e.
must be another way to have organizations pay to run an SDO).=20

Actually one does not even need a TIES account. ITU-T is making its
specifications available for free on experimental basis for now as I
understand at http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC/e.=20

Hi All,

During the DIME meeting at IETF-69, there was a question raised if there
is any field data which support the case that it may takes the MN more
than one second to receive the initial RRP message and the MN had to
retransmit the initial RRQ.

First of all, IMO, I would like to say that it is very possible and
realistic to assume that under certain conditions the initial MIPv4 RRP
message may take more than one second to arrive at the Mobile Node.

As far as getting the field data, I will continue to try to find some
real data on this. On the other hand, I really appreciate it if any of
the handset, AAA vendors or any of the operators can share or comment on
this field data record.

Ahmad

All,
During DIME meeting at IETF-69, Pete raised the point that when RADIUS
relay the re-transmitted RRQ without going to AAA, Pete thinks that
there possibly a security concern.

I would like to start this thread but I would like to let Pete summarize
his concern and we then can discuss it.

Hi Pete,

Could you please summarize the security concern that you raised during
DIME meeting?
Many thanks in advance.

Ahmad

Except that a) it seems not possible for us to evaluate the basis of
this work (let alone the work itself) and b) I, at least, hold a
somewhat less sanguine opinion of standards bodies: just because some
(professional or amateur) standards folks have invented something
doesn't mean that it's necessary or even useful.

Thanks for the data, Tina, but the issue isn't really whether I or other
Cisco employees are able to access the documents but whether the IETF
Community at large has such access.  We can't be expected to standardize
something based upon documents we can't see.

Hi,

Mark had proposed a text for rfc3588bis with regards to the rules on 
Vendor-Specific command code allocation. The result would look like:

11.2.1.  Command Codes

   The Command Code namespace is used to identify Diameter commands.
   The values 0-255 (0x00-0xff) are reserved for RADIUS backward 
   compatibility, and are defined as "RADIUS Packet Type Codes" in
   [RADTYPE].  Values 256 - 8,388,607 (0x100 to 0x7fffff) are for 
   permanent, standard commands, allocated by Expert Review [RFC2434].
   This document defines the Command Codes 257, 258, 271, 274-275, 
   280 and 282.  See Section 3.1 for the assignment of the namespace
   in this specification.

   The values 8,388,608 - 16,777,213 (0x800000 - 0xfffffd) are 
   reserved for vendor-specific command codes, to be allocated on a 
   First Come, First Served basis by IANA [RFC2434]. The request to 
   IANA for a Vendor-Specific Command Code SHOULD include a reference
   to a publicly available specification which documents the command 
   in sufficient detail to aid in interoperability between independent
   implementations. If the specification cannot be made publicly
   available, the request for a vendor-specific command code MUST
   include the contact information of persons and/or entities responsible
   for authoring and maintaining the command.

   The values 16,777,214 and 16,777,215 (hexadecimal values 0xfffffe -
   0xffffff) are reserved for experimental commands.  As these codes are
   only for experimental and testing purposes, no guarantee is made for
   interoperability between Diameter peers using experimental commands,
   as outlined in [IANA-EXP].


I would like to poll the WG to see if there are still concerns about 
this proposal or if there are any other comments. It would be great if 
we can get some conclusion regarding this topic.

regards,
victor

OK, let's say this one more time.  ITU-T documents are available for free to 
everyone, not just Cisco, at http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/publications/recs.html.

ETSI published specifications are available for free to everyone, not just 
Cisco, at http://pda.etsi.org/pda/queryform.asp.  ETSI work in progress is 
available free to everyone, not just Cisco, at 
http://portal.etsi.org/docbox/TISPAN/Open/NGN_LATEST_DRAFTS/

I can dig out the relevant ETSI publication numbers, but people who are working 
with this stuff regularly may have them readily to hand.

OK, let's say _this_ one more time: this is neither ETSI nor ITU-T.  I
don't think that a simple I-D cogently describing the problem to be
solved is too much to ask; if it is, then maybe there _is_ no problem.
Not that I'm opposed to full employment for protocol designers but it
seems to me that the above referenced organizations (among many others)
provide ample opportunity: we don't need to help them out here.

Hi, Ahmad,

Maybe this is not so big an issue, but one thing that might
happen is that the MN can use a different HA address in the
re-transmitted RRQ.  If there is network policy in place
that only allows registering on specific HAs, this policy
might be skirted by the retransmission unless the HA address
is sent to the RADIUS/Diameter server with every RRQ.

I am also concerned about increasing the overall registration
time by going from one round-trip to two round-trips.  The
nice thing about the existing Diameter application is that
it can do both authentication/authorization and MIP registration
in one round-trip to the home network.

One question: why couldn't we fix the problem by adjusting
the retransmission timers upwards?  If we know that AAA adds
some additional delay, we could wait a bit longer before
retransmitting the request.  This seems to fix the problem.=20

[Ahmad]
We can look at this special case later, but for the sake of this simple
analysis, we need to address the most common simple scenario first. With
the following in mind: "What would the impact be when using Diameter
MIPv4 Application in place of RADIUS model."

Also, usually the MN does not try to register with another HA until the
registration process is timeout. In our case, we are focusing on the
first retransmitted RRQ which usually done after one second.

[Ahmad]
I am sorry I missed this point here. Could you please elaborate a little
further.

[Ahmad]
I agree with you here. It is anticipated that Diameter MIPv4 Application
will take a longer time to complete MIPv4 initial registration. Two
questions:=20

1. Why the MN and possibly the network configurations need to change
just for using Diameter MIPv4 Application in place of RADIUS.
2. On the other hand, even if we increase the initial timer a little, we
still do not solve the issue, all what we do is delaying it.=20

Except that a) it seems not possible for us to evaluate the basis of
this work (let alone the work itself) and b) I, at least, hold a
somewhat less sanguine opinion of standards bodies: just because some
(professional or amateur) standards folks have invented something
doesn't mean that it's necessary or even useful.

[Ulf3: Skipping a) to reply to it in a separate mail I must say b) makes
me somewhat confused. I can agree to that standards not always become
widely used in reality depending on market needs, kind of solution
preferred by ccustomer etc. However, IMHO standards should at least be
seen as potetially useful and part of the game in evolving businesses
including vendors and operators/network providers/ISPs/etc. Waiting for
things to be used in real networks before starting standardizing may in
my view be beneficial to larger vendors having the power to get new
solutions and protocol mechanisms in operation with customers, while
smaller vendors and operators better rely on standards (in progress and
published). Maybe I'm missing the point here (e.g. that the IETF only
aims at standardizing things alrady in use and thereby proved useful).]=20

OK, let's say _this_ one more time: this is neither ETSI nor ITU-T.  I
don't think that a simple I-D cogently describing the problem to be
solved is too much to ask; if it is, then maybe there _is_ no problem.
Not that I'm opposed to full employment for protocol designers but it
seems to me that the above referenced organizations (among many others)
provide ample opportunity: we don't need to help them out here.

[Ulf: What we have are two drafts; draft-bodin-dime-auditing-reqs-02 and
draft-asveren-dime-state-recovery-01. While the first draft provides a
somewhat more general description of requirements that I agree may not
be sufficient to derive protocol mechanisms from, the seconds draft come
in my view closer to providing a base for such work.]

I think the main impact would be a shorter overall registration
time, because the AMR/AMA can carry the registration along with
the authentication credentials, which means only one round-trip
to the home network instead of 2.

Why can't we just increase the recommended timeout value?

The Diameter MIP4 application was designed to minimize the number
of round-trips needed to complete the authentication and registration
process.  Because the RRQ is carried inside the AMR, there is only
one round trip to carry out the two operations: authentication and
registration.

On the contrary, I think it will be faster.

If we have encountered deployment situations in which a 1 second
retransmission is too fast, then we should adjust the recommended
minimum value of the timer.

If we can increase the timer so that 99% of the time the registration
completes (or fails) within the new timeout value, then we will have
the initial RRP back to the MN before it retransmits (or, in the case
of failure, the retransmission will be really necessary).  This seems to
solve the issue.  I don't think we should go re-architecting the MIP4
Diameter application because of a mismatched timeout value.

-Pete

Hi Pete,

>From this discussion, it is apparent that there is no security issue
that you are concerned with. Please confirm?
If that is true, then we can change the subject of this thread to the
performance issue and continue discussion.

Is that acceptable?

Ahmad

Mark,

Thanks for this information.  I now have a better understanding of the
objective in command code definitions.

However this brings to light another interesting question.  If a command
is reused within the scope of an application ID that it was not
originally defined in then it seems that the semantics of the Command
can being defined by the 'using application'.

An example of this is in the proposed use of ACR/ACA in the
draft-ietf-dime-diameter-qos-01.txt.  The ABNF for ACR/ACA is
inconsistent with the ABNF of Base Diameter (App Id 3).  All this is ok
and reflects the semantics of the two applications however the ABNF for
the same message in both applications is ambiguous and contradictory.

Base diameter defines the command header ABNF syntax as:

   header           =3D "<" Diameter-Header:" command-id
                      [r-bit] [p-bit] [e-bit] [application-id]">"

IMHO, perhaps in the definition of new applications (or anything other
then base diameter (0)) best practice should dictate that the
application-id be used in the ABNF for all messages in the new
application.  This is especially important for reused commands to remove
ambiguity.  Considering that the base ABNF syntax supports this
capability this should be relatively easy.

Regards,

Bill

My understanding is the Command Codes are taken from a single global
namespace in order to allow Command re-use. Commands from one Diameter
application can be re-used in another and are still required to conform
to the original ABNF. However, the Command header in this case would
contain the Application ID of the 'using application' and not the
'defining application'. This is required because the Application ID in
the Command Header is used as a secondary key field in routing table
lookups.

I don't think this case was covered in the original 3588 but it is
clarified in section 5.3 of the Application Design Guidelines draft.=20

Regards
Mark

Hi, Ahmad,

I would say there is a minor security issue that may or may not
be important in some deployments.

It is fine with me if you want to change the subject line.

Thanks Pete.
Just a minor note; I have not been able to see what was the minor
security issue you are referring to but as you said, we can go ahead and
start the new thread.

Will follow Performance discussion on the new thread.

The diameter "best practices" document 
(http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dime-app-design-guide-02.txt) 
does explicitly state what you mentioned. Unfortunately, older document 
had followed an older scheme and recent drafts had yet to conform.

Hi Victor,

I agree with this text.

Considering also "Application Design Guidelines" document, we probably
will end-up lots of new commands/applications, e.g. any operator which
wants to add a new AVP with M-bit set (pretty much all AVPs) will
require a new command code and this further will require a new
application. OTOH, I still think this is the direction to follow to
guarantee proper routing of messages to endpoints, which actually can
process them.

    Thanks,
    Tolga

address the issue.

[Ahmad]
Ok, I think this is an important step. I think what you are trying to
say is that you agree with the analysis that the draft presented and you
are trying to propose solutions for the issue without any change to the
Diameter Mobile IPv4 Application, RFC4004. Is that a fair statement?

I agree that if the Diameter infrastructure takes too long to
respond to the MN before it retransmits, this would potentially
put a second, uneccessary AMR into the network, causing more
traffic.  The registration process itself would be delayed a
bit because the MN would be waiting for a response to its most
recently transmitted RRQ.  However, RFC3344 specifies an
exponentially increasing timeout value so eventually the MN
would get registered.

I think that summarizes the problem you raised; it could have
been sent to the list in that form rather than writing an
entire draft with call flows comparing RADIUS to Diameter.

I agree that a Diameter (or RADIUS, for that matter) infrastructure
might take more than 1 second to respond to an AMR or an Access-Request.
It seems that the solution is to recommend a longer timeout value
for the initial retransmission.  Another solution would be to allow
the MN to complete its registration successfully by receiving an
RRP matching a previous RRQ (not just the most recently retransmitted
one).

I don't think we should turn the MIP4 Diameter application into a
2-round-trips protocol.  The goal of RFC4004 is to provide MIP
registration in one round-trip.

-Pete

I assume you are talking here with MIPv4 chair hat-off, there is no
restrictions about writing drafts in IETF and getting two wg to agree to
present the idea and generate discussion inside the meeting and on the
mailing lists or you are suggesting a new IETF rule here?

Having said that, I guess the least which can be said about what you
just mentioned is over simplification of what the draft is trying to
present. The idea the draft was to highlight and present, IMO and many
others, a valid weakness about D-MIPv4 architecture. The draft is trying
to compare the performance of the current RADIUS deployment to what to
be Diameter Mobile IPv4 Application deployment. Let me try to explain
what the draft is trying to highlight one more time:

1. Currently there are certain deployment configuration parameters and
the operator probably would like to get better performance in case
Diameter is used in place of RADIUS without further studies and analysis
to how to tweak the network in order to optimize the expected D-MIP4
performance issue.

2. The point here is not about Diameter as an AAA protocol, however, it
is about the concept of coupling the MIPv4 control signaling to AAA
signaling. Which many people do not think it is a good idea and believe
that it is a deviation from RFC3344 initial MIPv4 registration
procedure. Do not you agree?

3. Of course, RFC3344 have a retransmission mechanism, which in most
cases should get the MN eventually registered. On the other hand,
RFC4004 proposes a Diameter Application and impeded MIPv4 control
signaling inside AAA control signaling and the draft never assumed that
there could be an impact on the MIPv4 signaling retransmission mechanism
or performance. Not to mention coupling of MIPv4 signaling
retransmission with AAA signaling retransmission.

4. If the AAA infrastructure have the same load in case of RADIUS and
D-MIP4 and the MN had to retransmit the initial MIPv4 RRQ, there is a
much much greater chance that D-MIPv4 will cause another round of
UNNECESSARY AAA signaling that does not happen in the case of RADIUS.

5. If the AAA infrastructure is slightly loaded and cause a MN to
retransmit its MIPv4 initial RRQ, D-MIPv4 as per RFC4004 makes the
situation much WORSE by injecting, at least, DOUBLE the number of AAA
(Diameter) signaling messages. In the case of RADIUS this is not there.

6. Actually, we are going to publish a new revision of this draft and
address the scenario of allocating a HA in the visited network. Have you
looked into the difference between the RADIUS and D-MIP4 performance in
this scenario and what will happen if the MN happened to retransmit?

7. Finally, I guess all of the above worth writing a draft in order to
provide heads up for the industry of what to expect in case D-MIPv4,
RFC4004, is deployed in place of RADIUS.

No, I don't.  Putting the Registration Request in the AMR is a feature.
It allows the registration to happen in one round-trip.

Obviously this scenario takes longer to process the RRQ and so the
chance of hitting a retransmission is greater.

[Ahmad]
Well, I do not understand what you mean by a feature. Initial RRQ/RRP is
coupled with AMR/AMA, as a matter of fact they are carried in
attributes. In other words, we can not relay initial RRQ/RRP outside
AMR/AMA as per RFC3344. Even if you want to call it a feature, that
feature makes D-MIP4 architecture different from RADIUS and at the same
time makes AAA infrastructure more vulnerable.

[Ahmad]
Okay.. Then that is bad and has bad consequences on the AAA
infrastructure and on the current MIPv4 deployment. Operators, expects
the current network infrastructure to work, at least, better when
upgrading AAA to Diameter not to degrade their network performance and
start spending moneys on studies and tweaking mechanisms here and there
to compromise for the D-MIPv4 feature. IMO, that is not a bad feature
and we need to fix it.

	Hi all
	=20
	I have some comments in the DIME WG when the draft is presented
in Chicago.
	I would like to summarize my comments here.
	=20
	The main idea of the draft is based on that "=20
	The access authentication procedure into the Proxy
	Mobile IPv6 Domain resembles the Mobile IPv6 integrated scenario
	bootstrapping"
	=20
	I would like to highlight some differences and their influence
on AAA interface.
	1)The security association is between MAG and LMA, not MN and
LMA

[JiK] Yes.. how does this affect the authentication procedure between
the NAS(MAG)
      and the AAA? At the end you still authenticate a MN..

	2)PMIPv6 now only deals with the P-t-P link model, in which case
	  it is very probable that the LMA has no any idea about the
MN's IP addess

[JiK] Yes.. there is currently no assumption that LMA would know the
MN-HoA..
      It can learn it though.

	3)In the PMIPv6 ,there is another important function, that is,
	  the all MAGs should run consistently to emulate the MN's home
link characteritics

[JiK] Yes.. How does this affect to the said AAA interface? I am a bit
      confused about the three above points and their relation to the
MAG-AAA=20
      interface when it comes to MN attaching & authenticating to a
PMIP6 domain..

	=20
	The following is the detailed comments:
	1)Adding information exchange between LMA and AAA server to
convey
	  key material when LMA<->MAG SA is established using EAP
authentication.

[JiK] Hmm.. a MN attaching to a MAG may trigger a dynamic establishment
of the
      MAG-LMA SA, if it does not exist at that point. What information
do you
      think will be PMIP6 specific betweem LMA and AAA during the IKEv2
IPSec
      SA setup? By the way, we should not restrict ourselves to EAP
only.

	2)Clarifying the meaning FQDN, and enabling dynamical LMA
discovery

[JiK] Meaning of the FQDN? Would stating that it is the FQDN of the LMA
be
      enough? Dynamic discovery of LMA is alrady in the I-D. Using both
DNS
      and AAA options.

	3)DNS update. It is possible for MAG to initate DNS update

[JiK] Yes. This is missing.

	4)the usage of PMIP6-MAG-Address.

[JiK] Right.. the original intention of this was to support deployment
an option
      where a NAS/authenticator is not co-located with a MAG rather
looking after
      a pool of MAGs. There the AAA might want to know which MAG the
authentication
      concerns as PBUs and AAA messages originate from different IPs.

	5)Adding address configuration mode attribute to emulate the
link.

[JiK] Originally we thought to handle this with the feature vector AVP
we
      have in the I-D.

Hi all

I have some comments in the DIME WG when the draft is presented
in Chicago.
I would like to summarize my comments here.

The main idea of the draft is based on that " 
The access authentication procedure into the Proxy
Mobile IPv6 Domain resembles the Mobile IPv6 integrated scenario
bootstrapping"

I would like to highlight some differences and their influence
on AAA interface.
1)The security association is between MAG and LMA, not MN and
LMA

[JiK] Yes.. how does this affect the authentication procedure between
the NAS(MAG)  and the AAA? At the end you still authenticate a MN..

Frank=>My point is how to build SA between MAG and LMA.  For example,
after authentication of the first MN named  first@italia.com,  
there is a SA establishment process between MAG and LMA.  As to second MN named second@italia.com
it is not necessary for MAG to initate the SA estbalishment because the second MN can share existing
SA.   The SA establishment needs the support of AAA infrastructure. 

2)PMIPv6 now only deals with the P-t-P link model, in which case
  it is very probable that the LMA has no any idea about the
MN's IP addess

[JiK] Yes.. there is currently no assumption that LMA would know the
MN-HoA.  It can learn it though.

3)In the PMIPv6 ,there is another important function, that is,
  the all MAGs should run consistently to emulate the MN's home
link characteritics

[JiK] Yes.. How does this affect to the said AAA interface? I am a bit
      confused about the three above points and their relation to the
MAG-AAA  interface when it comes to MN attaching & authenticating to a
PMIP6 domain..

Frank=> The above are general comments  to highlight the differences.
The following are the specific comments.

The following is the detailed comments:
1)Adding information exchange between LMA and AAA server to
convey
  key material when LMA<->MAG SA is established using EAP
authentication.

[JiK] Hmm.. a MN attaching to a MAG may trigger a dynamic establishment
of the  MAG-LMA SA, if it does not exist at that point. What information
do you   think will be PMIP6 specific betweem LMA and AAA during the IKEv2
IPSec  SA setup? By the way, we should not restrict ourselves to EAP
only.
Frank=>New attribute PMIP6-LMA-MAG-Pair-Keys is necessary. 
It is true we should not restrict to EAP, but we should support EAP.

2)Clarifying the meaning FQDN, and enabling dynamical LMA
discovery

[JiK] Meaning of the FQDN? Would stating that it is the FQDN of the LMA
be   enough? Dynamic discovery of LMA is alrady in the I-D. Using both
DNS  and AAA options.
Frank=>Could you give me the text about Dynamic discovery of LMA in the I-D?

3)DNS update. It is possible for MAG to initate DNS update

[JiK] Yes. This is missing.

4)the usage of PMIP6-MAG-Address.

[JiK] Right.. the original intention of this was to support deployment
an option    where a NAS/authenticator is not co-located with a MAG rather
looking after   a pool of MAGs. There the AAA might want to know which MAG the
authentication  concerns as PBUs and AAA messages originate from different IPs.

Frank=>Even though NAS/authenticator is not co-located with MAG,  AAA should
be agnostic with the relationship between NAS/authenticator and MAG.
Any way, could you give  a more specific scenario?

5)Adding address configuration mode attribute to emulate the
link.

[JiK] Originally we thought to handle this with the feature vector AVP
we   have in the I-D.
Frank=>I can't find related description till now.

Hi Victor,

Please find below my comments for draft-dime-app-design-guide-02.txt. I
think this draft is in very good shape and almost all of my comments are
editorial.

   Thanks,
   Tolga



1)
4.1.2 Deleting a command
In general, it is unusual to delete an existing command from an existing
application for
^^^^^^^^^^^
 ADD

This design decision would normally be an indication of a flawed
designed.=20
=3D=3D> This normally would be an indication of a flawed design.

2)
4.2 Reusing existing commands
In some cases, there are a lot of ambiguity.
=3D=3D> In some cases there is a lot of ambiguity.

So design considerations have been outlined to ease process.
                                          ^
                                          ADD

3)
4.2.1 Adding AVPs to a command
A mandatory AVP cannot be added
            ^^^
            ADD

4)
4.2.2 Deleting AVPs from a command
Instead of deleting AVPs from a command, a better alternative
                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                         ADD

5)
6.3 Updating an existing application
"Optional AVPs can also be used to indicate version differences."
I think, using an *optional* AVP for this purpose could be problematic.
I can think of two different cases here:
a) An application has a mandatory AVP from very beginning on to indicate
version. In such a case, a new version can be safely signaled to
entities running an older version of the application. Because semantics
associated with the Version-AVP are defined by the initial release of
the application, all nodes would be able to interpret it successfully.
An older version implementation can reject a request containing a
Version-AVP with a newer value.
b) The new release of the application uses a new and mandatory AVP. This
would mean that a new command needs to be defined as well. New command
would not be recognized by the old implementation and would be rejected.
This is really an ugly solution but would make sure that sender is aware
of any possibly incompatibility due to version differences.

I guess, due to lack of elegance in b), we should add a recommendation
that new applications should use an AVP to indicate the version used by
a node. Actually, I even think that there should be a generic AVP
defined for this purpose.

Obviously it is a feature. But don't you think it is a bit of a hack? I
mean, tunneling one protocol inside another for the sake of saving
round-trips? For example, we could further reduce the round-trips by
tunneling MIP4 inside EAP of network access authentication.

I also understand that having to go to HAAA twice for each MIP RegReq is
bothersome. But then, maybe we should re-consider the necessity of MN-FA
authentication. Given that HA is going to authenticate the MN, does FA also
need to do the same?

Please find below my comments on the extensibility section in 3588bis:

* Section 1.2: Bulleted list is missing "Creating new commands".

* Section 1.2: Suggested rewording of last paragraph and removing
command code comments (new section proposed below for commands):

   Reuse of existing AVP values, AVPs, commands and Diameter
   applications are strongly recommended. Reuse simplifies=20
   standardization and implementation and avoids potential=20
   interoperability issues. =20

* Section 1.2.1:  Second paragraph is incorrect for vendor-specific AVP
values. Suggest rewording to:

   In order to allocate a new value for a standards track AVP, a request
   MUST be sent to IANA [RFC2434], along with an explanation of the=20
   new AVP value.  IANA considerations for AVP values are discussed in
   Section 11.4.

* Section 1.2.2: Suggest rewording the first paragraph to include a
recommendation on derived data type usage:=20

   When no existing AVP can be reused, a new AVP MUST be created. =20
   The new AVP MUST be defined using one of the data types listed in
   Section 4.2 or 4.3. If an appropriate derived data type is already
   defined, it SHOULD be used instead of the base data type.

I considered tightening this last sentence to a MUST but realized
RADIUS/Diameter Translation Nodes could not be compliant. The Design
Guidelines draft should probably explain this exception to the rule.

* Section 1.2.2: Suggest rewording the second paragraph to use a
requirement key word:

   In the event that a logical grouping of AVPs is necessary, and
   multiple "groups" are possible in a given command, a Grouped AVP=20
   SHOULD be used (see Section 4.4).

* Section 1.2.2: Second paragraph is incorrect for vendor-specific AVPs.
Suggest rewording to:

   In order to create a new standards track AVP, a request MUST be sent=20
   to IANA with a reference to the specification that defines the AVP. =20
   IANA considerations for AVPs are discussed in Section 11.1.1.

* Section 1.2.2: I suggest removing the sentence requiring that the IANA
request include the commands that make use of the AVP. For me, this
implies that the IANA AVP entry must be updated every time an AVP is
reused.

* Section 1.2.x: Add new section on the creation of new commands:

1.2.x Creating new Commands

   A new command should only be created when no suitable command can=20
   be reused from an existing application.  In order to create a new
command,=20
   a request MUST be sent to IANA. The IANA considerations for commands=20
   are discussed in Section 11.2.1.

Mark

Sure. Though this maybe to terse. We can re-hash a little bit.

Sure. We may also consider the case where the initial version does not 
have a "version-avp" but the new version introduces it. In which case, 
the *optional* avp method maybe applicable to the "vesion-avp" to make 
the application inter operate with the old version.

Hi Tolga, Victor,

Regarding the application version, I think there is more than optional/
mandatory AVPs involved.

By adding application versions, we are effectively saying that the peer
capability wrt a specific application is now defined by the Application
ID AND Application Version. This implies that the Application Version
needs to be exchanged in CER/CEA messages.=20

Since Application ID is a secondary key field for routing table lookups,
the version also needs to be considered in routing decisions. Command
routing performance will be impacted if peers must scan messages for
Application Version AVPs. Ideally, the Application Version needs to be
in the Diameter header but I don't see any way to add it while
maintaining backwards compatibility.

Given these challenges, maybe it is simpler to state that designers MUST
request a new Application ID when they revise their application. Apart
from using up additional IDs, do you see any downsides with this
approach?

Regards
Mark

Mmm... not sure if this is necessary. The context of the versioning 
scheme in discussion is a corner case scenario that is confined within 
the application and hence the application id is not necessarily required 
to change.

Again, the knowledge of versioning is confined within an application; 
there should be no routing states or changes involved. Just to give a 
background, this section on versioning is present in the app guide to 
shed light on how one can do versioning within a specific application if 
the change is not significant enough to warrant defining a new 
application. Other SDOs have defined very ad-hoc ways of going from one 
version of the same application to the next without formally defining a 
scheme and this is intended to show the bad consequence of those decisions.

regards,
victor

Thanks Victor. I re-read section 5.5 and I understand this scenario
better.=20

If I understand correctly, the application has changed but the
enhancements are 'optional to understand', i.e. the new application
version is backwards compatible. The version/capability AVP is used to
communicate support of these enhancements between end-points and so
intermediate relays are not impacted. Is that correct?

Regards

I don't think it's a hack.  When we have Mobile IP being used
for access authentication I think it makes sense to carry the
RRQ in a Diameter application.  EAP is a different case because
then we have a separate protocol doing access authentication.

The FA and HA might be part of different administrative domains.
I think the FA has just as much reason to authenticate the MN as
the HA.

Hi,

As the comments made by Tolga my comments on
draft-dime-app-design-guide-02.txt are mostly editorial. I've got a few
comments on what's actually recommended as well though as well as
commenst on where I believe the text is somewhat unclear. Anyway, pls
find my comments below.

Best regards,
Ulf

Section 1

First bullet item: is the word "updated" really needed. Isn't the
obejective to clearify exensibility rules of 2588 in general and not
only those being updated in 2588bis?

Second bullet intem: Stike out "which are"

First paragraph after bullet list: The allusion with "These" is unclear
(doesn't ally to any text above this paragraph). I would rather say:
"The design gudelines given herein are necessary ...".

First paragraph after bullet list, second sentence:
A typical example would be deciding between item one(1) and two(2) above
when an application designer requires a new application functionality
which has many things in common with an existing application.
-- change to -->
A typical example would be deciding between item one(1) and two(2) above
when new application functionality is required that has many things in
common with functionality offered by an existing application.

First paragraph after bullet list, third sentence: replace "the existing
extensibility rules;" with "the original extensibility rules of
RFC3588;"

First paragraph after bullet list, last sentence: Does not make good
sence, should be rephrased. The allusion for "this example" is weak.
What does "it" refer to? The existing/original extensibility rules? What
did then the existing/original rules say they are now changed/updated.
Are the original rules based on collective experiences, or the statement
of that creating a new application is now seen as the cleanest approach?
A lot of questions - no suggestion unfortunately (since I'm not sure
what should be said).

Second paragraph after bullet list, second sentence: remove "times",
replace "foreseen as" with "considered"

Second paragraph after bullet list, last sentence: "(See ..)" -> "(see
..)"

Third paragraph after bullet list: The text mention examples and
implicitly talks about derived applications are no longer interoperable.
In case such examples exist (which I'm sure they do), it may be useful
to refernce them for clarity.

Section 3

Last sentence: I'm not sure what this sentence is actually saying (or
what informaiton it gives). A "Diameter node" is not mentioned before in
the paragraph, still it's said that "This document also treats ..." I.e.
the word "also" is somewhat ambiguous. Anyway, the meaning and purpose
of the sentence is unclear at least to me.

Section 4

First paragraph, second sentence: "applications" -> "application", or
remove "an" before existing.

Second paragraph, first sentence: "application's" -> "applications"

Second paragraph, second sentence: ".. much of the existing application
..." -> ".. much of an existing application ..."

Section 4.1.1

Fourth bullet item, first sentence: remove space before "?" and
introduce space in "maybe" -> "may be"

Section 4.2.1

First paragraph after second bullet list, first sentence: "consider" ->
"considered"

Section 4.2.2

First paragraph, first sentence: ".. is significant when trying to
extend an existing application" -> ".. constitutes a significant change
when extending and existent application."

Second paragraph, second sentence: "..mandatory would.." -> "..mantatory
AVPs would.."

Third paragraph, first sentence: "..command that would represent.." ->
"..command representing.."

Fourth paragraph, second sentence: delete "optional"

Fourth paragraph, fourth sentence: delete "to begin with"

Fifth paragraph: This may be a stupid question, but I wonder if any
gudence is needed for how to ignore an optional AVP because it's not
used by the application being in use (and instead only has a purpose for
the application from which the command in inhereted). That is, is
silently ignoring anything ok from an compatibility standpoint ok. Maybe
it, I'm just not enough of a Diameter expert to know for sure.

Section 4.3

First paragraph, first and second sentence: Delete "deals with even more
granularity than Section 4.1 and Section 4.2. Specifically, it"

Section 5=20

Second paragraph, first sentence: Are we referring to new _mandatory_
AVPs and AVP values that _changes_ the behaviour of the applicatio, or
any new AVP and AVP value? If I understand the rules correctly it's the
former only and in case that's correct I suggest clearifying this. E.g.
by saying "..new commands, mandatory AVPS and/or AVP values that changes
the behaviour of the application for ..."

Second paragraph, last sentence: Could the givenm examples be clearified
beyond just giving the references? For example, by adding after the last
reference ", where ...."

Third paragraph, first sentence: "newly defined commands." -> "new
commands."

Hi Victor,

Please find below my comments for draft-dime-app-design-guide-02.txt. I
think this draft is in very good shape and almost all of my comments are
editorial.

   Thanks,
   Tolga



1)
4.1.2 Deleting a command
In general, it is unusual to delete an existing command from an existing
application for ^^^^^^^^^^^  ADD

This design decision would normally be an indication of a flawed
designed.
=3D=3D> This normally would be an indication of a flawed design.

2)
4.2 Reusing existing commands
In some cases, there are a lot of ambiguity.
=3D=3D> In some cases there is a lot of ambiguity.

So design considerations have been outlined to ease process.

                                          ADD

3)
4.2.1 Adding AVPs to a command
A mandatory AVP cannot be added
            ^^^
            ADD

4)
4.2.2 Deleting AVPs from a command
Instead of deleting AVPs from a command, a better alternative
                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                         ADD

5)
6.3 Updating an existing application
"Optional AVPs can also be used to indicate version differences."
I think, using an *optional* AVP for this purpose could be problematic.
I can think of two different cases here:
a) An application has a mandatory AVP from very beginning on to indicate
version. In such a case, a new version can be safely signaled to
entities running an older version of the application. Because semantics
associated with the Version-AVP are defined by the initial release of
the application, all nodes would be able to interpret it successfully.
An older version implementation can reject a request containing a
Version-AVP with a newer value.
b) The new release of the application uses a new and mandatory AVP. This
would mean that a new command needs to be defined as well. New command
would not be recognized by the old implementation and would be rejected.
This is really an ugly solution but would make sure that sender is aware
of any possibly incompatibility due to version differences.

I guess, due to lack of elegance in b), we should add a recommendation
that new applications should use an AVP to indicate the version used by
a node. Actually, I even think that there should be a generic AVP
defined for this purpose.

Ok. Maybe we can re-phrase to:

"Certain design patterns did emerge from the experiences of application 
designers. For example,
in the case of using optional AVPs to indicate new functionality, it is 
now generally viewed that
the creation of a new application (item two(2)) is a better design 
approach. "

In some sense, ignoring optional AVPs are an implied behavior in 
general. Though, for the application itself, not explicitly stating such 
behavior may have implications. For example, maybe apps should 
explicitly differentiate when ignoring an optional avp by choice or 
because it does not understand the avp. Anyway, maybe some additional 
text is needed.

Hi, Tolga,

Thanks for the detailed review.  Sorry for taking this long to
respond.  See some comments from me below.

That might be a good idea; however, as was mentioned during the WG
meeting it may be possible to use both modes during a single session,
where some NEs use push mode and some NEs use pull mode.  If we allow
that, it might make more sense to keep a single application.

We didn't see the need to include CCA commands; all the credit-control
information is contained in the QAR/QAA.  The approach in the draft
is much simpler than the CCA and IMHO in contains all the needed
functionality.

That's essentially what we did; we re-used the Cost-Information,
Cost-Unit, Tariff-Time-Change, and CC-Time AVPs within the
Diameter QoS commands but provided a much simpler framework
in which to work.

Ok let's talk about this.  IMHO the commands in the Diameter QoS
application are the ones we want to use.

Ok.

I suppose we might need such an AVP either in QAA or QIR, in the
case where the Authorizing Entity knows about the emergency status;
Alternatively, such a field could be added to NSIS if only the
AE knows about the emergency status.  I am not sure whether=20
such a field exists in NSIS - maybe experts could speak up?

Are you thinking that the NE might be monitoring the flow for
active traffic, and then timeout when it detects no packets
for a certain period of time?  We need to watch out for confusing
loss of bearer with silence suppression.  Maybe you have in mind
that some specific link-layer trigger that tears-down the flow.
In general, we also may want to react to NSIS signaling that
"politely" tears down a flow.

If we keep every flow as a different Diameter QoS session, it
should be possible to terminate them independently.  Hopefully
we can just use STR / ASR for termination.

I see your point - maybe we can remove that clause.

I am ok with "SIP Application Server."

I think the application negotiation (what codec to use etc.) needs
to complete before a properly formed NSIS reservation is made.
So at least, the signaling must have started before a request=20
can be made.  If you look at the SIP Preconditions RFC that's
where RSVP signaling is traditionally integrated.

If a given NE is not an IP-addressable entity then it can't
participate in path-coupled signaling.  My preference would=20
be to keep the notion of a NE =3D Router.

I think this has to do with some confusion about the role of
the Authorizing Entity.  In my mind the Authorizing Entity
equals either a home subscriber database or an Application Server.
In some people's mind the AE is a local PDF which communicates
over a separate entity to an Application Server.  I'd be ok with

It refers to using the same interface whether the AE is a static
subscriber database or an active Application Server.  We should=20
clarify.

I'd be ok with deleting it.  Dong may have a different opinion.

In the latter case there is a protocol needed between the NE and
the "trusted entity".  In the draft that is assumed to be the
Diameter QoS Application.  However, this is not really two-party
scheme anymore... I'd be ok with removing that part.

It is necessary for the NE to be able to fill in the Destination-Realm
field for proper routing of the QAR (pull mode) or for the
Application Server to fill in the Destination-Realm of the QIR (push
mode).  Thus something needs to be exchanged in the application
signaling; a "token" is an ok name for that, IMHO.  Maybe we can
improve the wording a bit here.

Using a mobility protocol's AAA for network access AAA is another hack,
IMHO. These are two separate services. That may explain why one protocol is
tunneled inside another, but it does not justify.
 
I understand these are all driven by performance improvements.

MN is authenticated by the same entity (HAAA) whether requested by the FA or
the HA. If HA and FA has some trust relationship (e.g., using FA-HA AE, or
IPsec), then I believe letting the HA authenticate the MN is sufficient.

Well, this is the road we went down back in 1998.  There is at
least one SDO that is heavily dependent on the MN-NAI and MN-AAA
extensions.

There is no scalable way to maintain trust relationships between
all pairs of (FA, HA).  One of the main purposes of the Diameter
MIPv4 application is to distribute keys for those (FA, HA)
relationships that are necessary based on the MNs that are
roaming to a given FA.  The FA needs to make sure that the

FA-HA security association can also be dynamically created during the

Ok. Maybe we can re-phrase to:

"Certain design patterns did emerge from the experiences of application
designers. For example, in the case of using optional AVPs to indicate
new functionality, it is now generally viewed that the creation of a new
application (item two(2)) is a better design approach. "

In some sense, ignoring optional AVPs are an implied behavior in
general. Though, for the application itself, not explicitly stating such
behavior may have implications. For example, maybe apps should
explicitly differentiate when ignoring an optional avp by choice or
because it does not understand the avp. Anyway, maybe some additional
text is needed.

[Ulf1: Yes, I think such text would actually be useful. Especially if an
application is to differentiate between ignoring an optional AVP by
choice or because it does not understand the AVP (e.g. in reporting this
back to a requester).]

Thanks for the detailed review.  Sorry for taking this long to

That might be a good idea; however, as was mentioned during the WG
meeting it may be possible to use both modes during a single session,
where some NEs use push mode and some NEs use pull mode.  If we allow
that, it might make more sense to keep a single application.

Ok.

We didn't see the need to include CCA commands; all the credit-control
information is contained in the QAR/QAA.  The approach in the draft
is much simpler than the CCA and IMHO in contains all the needed
functionality.

That's essentially what we did; we re-used the Cost-Information,
Cost-Unit, Tariff-Time-Change, and CC-Time AVPs within the
Diameter QoS commands but provided a much simpler framework
in which to work.

Ok let's talk about this.  IMHO the commands in the Diameter QoS
application are the ones we want to use.

Ok.

I suppose we might need such an AVP either in QAA or QIR, in the
case where the Authorizing Entity knows about the emergency status;
Alternatively, such a field could be added to NSIS if only the
AE knows about the emergency status.  I am not sure whether
such a field exists in NSIS - maybe experts could speak up?

Are you thinking that the NE might be monitoring the flow for
active traffic, and then timeout when it detects no packets
for a certain period of time?  We need to watch out for confusing
loss of bearer with silence suppression.  Maybe you have in mind
that some specific link-layer trigger that tears-down the flow.
In general, we also may want to react to NSIS signaling that
"politely" tears down a flow.

If we keep every flow as a different Diameter QoS session, it
should be possible to terminate them independently.  Hopefully
we can just use STR / ASR for termination.

Ok let's think about this.

I see your point - maybe we can remove that clause.

I am ok with "SIP Application Server."

I think the application negotiation (what codec to use etc.) needs
to complete before a properly formed NSIS reservation is made.
So at least, the signaling must have started before a request
can be made.  If you look at the SIP Preconditions RFC that's
where RSVP signaling is traditionally integrated.

If a given NE is not an IP-addressable entity then it can't
participate in path-coupled signaling.  My preference would
be to keep the notion of a NE = Router.

Ok, we can take this out.

I think this has to do with some confusion about the role of
the Authorizing Entity.  In my mind the Authorizing Entity
equals either a home subscriber database or an Application Server.
In some people's mind the AE is a local PDF which communicates
over a separate entity to an Application Server.  I'd be ok with
removing "Application Server or local policies in" from the sentence.

It refers to using the same interface whether the AE is a static
subscriber database or an active Application Server.  We should
clarify.

In the latter case there is a protocol needed between the NE and
the "trusted entity".  In the draft that is assumed to be the
Diameter QoS Application.  However, this is not really two-party
scheme anymore... I'd be ok with removing that part.

It is necessary for the NE to be able to fill in the Destination-Realm
field for proper routing of the QAR (pull mode) or for the
Application Server to fill in the Destination-Realm of the QIR (push
mode).  Thus something needs to be exchanged in the application
signaling; a "token" is an ok name for that, IMHO.  Maybe we can
improve the wording a bit here.

I agree.

Agreed.  We should re-word.

Need to think about this one some more.

Ok with me.

Hi All,

  I have two questions related to Election.

1) See the following states

   Wait-I-CEA       I-Rcv-CEA        Process-CEA      I-Open
                    R-Conn-CER       R-Accept,        Wait-Returns
                                     Process-CER,
                                     Elect
                    I-Peer-Disc      I-Disc           Closed
                    I-Rcv-Non-CEA    Error            Closed
                    Timeout          Error            Closed

   Wait-Returns     Win-Election     I-Disc,R-Snd-CEA R-Open
                    I-Peer-Disc      I-Disc,          R-Open
                                     R-Snd-CEA
                    I-Rcv-CEA        R-Disc           I-Open
                    R-Peer-Disc      R-Disc           Wait-I-CEA
                    R-Conn-CER       R-Reject         Wait-Returns
                    Timeout          Error            Closed


   When we are in WAIT-I-CEA and get R-Conn-CER, we will go to WAIT-RETURNS.
   In WAIT-RETURNS we should be able to get all the events for initiator that
   are expected in WAIT-I-CEA. I mean to say that we should be able to handle
   I-RCV-CEA, I-Peer-Disc, I-Rcv-Non-CEA and Timeout.
   We are handling all except I-Rcv-Non-CEA in Wait-Returns. I think this
   event is missed out in the RFC.Please tell me if I am right.


2) When comparing the Origin-Hosts of local node and the peer node, RFC has suggested to
   pad 0s at the end. If we pad 0s at the end of the shorter hostname, the longer one will
   always succeed because of comparison with 0.Why should we do that? Why not compare only
   till the length of the shorter hostname.


Please answer my questions.


Thanks and Regards,
Harsha

Sorry I have not followed this fully but I also think that sending RRQs
encapsulated in DIAMETER messages is not always desirable. In fact it
links two protocols in a way that is somewhat undesirable. The HA for
example, has to be able to accept MIP registrations from two different
protocols now (i.e., MIP and DIAMETER). The RADIUS way of doing this is
a bit cleaner, but more importantly is widely deployed and current
deployments are unlikely to change their model just because they want to
upgrade to DIAMETER.

That's exactly what the Diameter-MIPv4 application does.

=> I agree with Alper about this. I do think we should avoid this type of
"performance improvement" :). I don't think it's a good idea for the RRQ or
other MIP messages to be encapsulated in Diameter and I actually think the
performance benefits are negligible.

On July 5, 2007 the RADEXT WG began WG last call on "RADIUS Attributes for 
Filtering and Redirection":

http://ops.ietf.org/lists/radiusext/2007/msg00494.html
http://ops.ietf.org/lists/radiusext/2007/msg00541.html

This WG last call was to last until Monday, July 23, 2007.

During the WG last call, only a single comment was received, from Hannes 
Tschofenig:
http://ops.ietf.org/lists/radiusext/2007/msg00496.html

No other messages were posted to the RADEXT WG mailing list indicating that 
WG participants had read the document.

Given the light level of participation, we are going to extend the WG last 
call for 10 more days (until August 28, 2007).   If you have read the 
document and approve of its publication as a Proposed Standard, please post 
your approval to the list, even if you have no comments to provide.

If you have comments, please provide them in the format described on the 
RADEXT WG Issues page:

restructuring.=20

[DR} - whose action item is this?=20

2. Diameter Applications Design Guidelines=20
It is necessary to create another draft update to reflect recently
received review comments, namely:=20

More clarification on application versioning using optional avps.=20
Comments centered around vendor specific command code allocation=20
Editorials.=20
Then, the document will be sent for review to other SDOs.=20

Planned WGLC: December 2007

[DR] - which SDOs? Do you plan to have the document first reviewed with
other SDOs and then enter WGLC? Why not enter directly WGLC and ask the
other SDOs to provide their inputs as WGLC comments?=20

Hi Pete,

Please find below a few more questions/comments (and sorry for the late
reply).

[TOLGA] Using different modes could be possible to reserve resources for
a single service session, but this probably would map to multiple
sessions from Diameter perspective. It seems to me that push and pull
modes are quite different from protocol operations perspective. Both in
terms of document organization/readability purposes and also for message
routing purposes (e.g. if there is an authorizing entity, which can
support only pull-mode scenarios, messages for push-mode sessions should
not be routed to it)two applications could be a good alternative.

[..snip..]

[TOLGA]I agree. I think the current approach in the QoS document is in
the right direction. We keep preaching to define new
commands/applications when new mandatory AVPs are added/semantics are
changed, so I guess this is a good example of what one should do.

[TOLGA]Even if there is support from NSIS, we may need an
emergency-level AVP for push mode.

[TOLGA] What I had in mind was more close to what you described second.
For example to allocate resources for an emergency call, it could be
necessary to release some resources which are previously allocated for
another call. I think it makes sense to notify PDF of such cases, so
that it takes necessary action.

[TOLGA] That could help simplify things from protocol perspective. PDF
would need to associate different Diameter sessions to a single service
session but I guess this should be fine.

The description for the Vendor-Id AVP in CER/CEA messages state it is to
identify the "vendor of the application" but in that case, it appears to
be redundant. The application vendor is already advertised within the
grouped Vendor-Specific-Application-Id AVP for a vendor-specific
application.=20

Looking though my attic of draft-ietf-aaa-diameter-xx, I see this
Vendor-Id AVP was originally destined to identify the device vendor.
Hence the comment in 3588: "It is also envisioned that the combination
of the Vendor-Id, Product-Name (Section 5.3.7) and the Firmware-Revision
(Section 5.3.4) AVPs MAY provide very useful debugging information". I
think we should fix this in 3588bis but backwards compatibility is
likely an issue.

On a related noted, I assume that advertising support for a
vendor-specific application implies support for the vendor-specific AVPs
from that same vendor. If so, I couldn't find this explicitly stated in
3588 and it probably should not be left as an assumption.

Regards
Mark

Absolutely Hannes. But I wanted to use the list to poll for any
backwards compatibility concerns of changing the description back to
"device vendor". Any concerns?

I also wanted to check that my assumption on support of vendor-specific
AVPs was correct. Does it make sense to you?

Regards
Mark

Hi Mark,

If certain vendor specific AVPs without M-bit set are added for a
command, it seems possible to use an existing application. In such a
case, it could be useful to signal which optional extensions are
supported by an endpoint.=20

I think Supported-Vendor-Id could be used for the purpose I mentioned
above. I am aware of a few implementations which use Vendor-Id for this
purpose as well.

Actually, considering that advertising support for optional extensions
should be done end-to-end, using CER/CEA for that purpose is of limited
use. There could be intermediaries between client and servers. It could
be an idea to mention about this limitation and preferably address it.
Or we can just deprecate this functionality assuming that if an
extension is optional, it shouldn't matter much whether the server
supports it (and if the extension is really vital, it should be a new
application).

   Thanks,
   Tolga

Agreed but let me illustrate the ambiguity with an example:

A Diameter peer supports a 3GPP application with some optional
Bridgewater vendor-specific AVPs (no M-bit set). In the CER/CEA, 3GPP's
vendor id would go into the Vendor-Id AVP in the
Vendor-Specific-Application-Id AVP and Bridgewater's vendor id would go
into the Support-Vendor-Id AVP. So far so good.

But the 3GPP application uses 3GPP vendor-specific AVPs so should 3GPP's
vendor id also be advertised in a Supported-Vendor-Id AVP?

Non-IETF SDOs appear to disagree on the answer to this question. I think
3588bis should be opinionated otherwise interop will suffer on
convergence between SDOs. I propose appending the following to section
5.3.6 (Supported-Vendor-Id):

"If a peer advertises support of a vendor-specific application, it is
implied that the peer supports (a subset of) the vendor-specific AVPs of
that vendor. In this case, the CER/CEA SHOULD NOT contain a
Supported-Vendor-Id AVP with the IANA "SMI Network Management Private
Enterprise Codes" [RFC3232] value of the application vendor."

I don't think we can make that "SHOULD NOT" into a "SHALL NOT" due to
backwards compatibility concerns. Any objections?

Regards
Mark

[TOLGA] I would say "No" considering the existing text in RFC3588:
   "The Vendor-Id AVP (AVP Code 266) is of type Unsigned32 and contains
   the IANA "SMI Network Management Private Enterprise Codes" [ASSIGNNO]
   value assigned to the vendor of the Diameter application.  In
   combination with the Supported-Vendor-Id AVP (Section 5.3.6), this
   MAY be used in order to know which vendor specific attributes may be
   sent to the peer."

So, basically it seems Vendor-Id implies that AVPs for the corresponding
vendor are supported as well. There shouldn't be a need to re-specify
this with Supported-Vendor-Id AVP.

[TOLGA]Overall, I think embedding some end-to-end information into
capability exchange procedure is not a good idea. This seems to be an
oversight in RFC3588 (or a leftover from an early version, where there
wasn't support for intermediaries).

And that was the first point in my original email: The original
intention of the Vendor-Id AVP in the CER/CEA was to communicate the
'device vendor' NOT the 'application vendor'. Admittedly this was a poor
choice of AVP name given all the vendor ids flying around in CER/CEA and
this vague name probably explains why the AVP description was later
(mistakenly?) changed from 'device vendor' to 'application vendor'.

So I also propose changing the first paragraph in section 5.3.3 to:

 The Vendor-Id AVP (AVP Code 266) is of type Unsigned32 and contains
 the IANA "SMI Network Management Private Enterprise Codes" [RFC3232]
 value assigned to the vendor of the Diameter device. It is=20
 envisioned that the combination of the Vendor-Id, Product-Name=20
 (Section 5.3.7) and the Firmware-Revision (Section 5.3.4) AVPs MAY
 provide very useful debugging information.

The 'very useful debugging information' here was only ever intended for
debugging a single hop. I agree that CER/CEA exchanges offer no help in
end-to-end debugging and that was never the intent of the
Vendor-Id/Product-Name/Firmware-Revision AVPs.

Mark

[TOLGA]Except backward compatibility issues, IMHO this change makes more
sense than what is currently there in RFC3588. I don't know how serious
of a backward compatibility issue we are talking about here. I saw
people using Product-Name to indicate both the vendor and a specific
product, e.g. "Company-A Product-Y". I saw people populating Vendor-Id
AVP to advertise support for AVP extensions as well. Still, IMHO we
should be able to digest this level of a change in the bis document.

Backward compatibility may not be an issue since people have been given 
free reign on the interpretations of vendor-id to begin with; i.e. 
there's not set value to be backward compatible to. The proposed change 
is ok with me ... maybe a little tighter text would be better if we 
really want to be clear on the per-hop context of vendor-id.

regards,
victor

[TOLGA] There is no set value, but consider the following situation:
There a RFC3588 compliant stack, expecting Vendor-Id AVP to contain the
vendor-Id of the corresponding application vendor. With RFC3588
compliant stacks, verifying this wouldn't cause a problem because
Vendor-Id AVP would contain the expected value. With a RFC3588-bis
compliant stack, such a check would fail because Vendor-Id would contain
the vendor-Id of the product vendor not the application vendor. Having
said that:
a) I am not sure whether many implementations perform such a check
b) I agree that the functionality defined in the proposed text is better
c) I think that we should have this change in the bis
d) It could be better to provide explanation for per-hop/end-to-end
issue for Supported-Vendor-Id AVP (or for both cases)

Hi Tolga,=20

Thank you for supporting the proposal to fix this Vendor-Id ambiguity in
3588bis.

After reviewing rfc3588bis-05 for impacts, here are the proposed
changes:

---

1) Update 1st paragraph in section 5.5.3 (Vendor-Id AVP)

 The Vendor-Id AVP (AVP Code 266) is of type Unsigned32 and
 contains the IANA "SMI Network Management Private Enterprise
 Codes" [RFC3232] value assigned to the vendor of the Diameter
 device. It is envisioned that the combination of the Vendor-Id,
 Product-Name (Section 5.3.7) and the Firmware-Revision (Section
 5.3.4) AVPs MAY provide very useful debugging information.

---

2) Add new paragraph to section 5.3.6 (Supported-Vendor-Id AVP)

 If a peer advertises support of a vendor-specific application
 in the Vendor-Specific-Application-Id AVP (Section 6.11), it is
 implied that the peer supports (a subset of) the vendor-
 specific AVPs of that vendor. In this case, the CER/CEA SHOULD=20
 NOT contain a Supported-Vendor-Id AVP with the IANA "SMI=20
 Network Management Private Enterprise Codes" [RFC3232] value of
 the application vendor."

---

3) Update 3rd paragraph in section 6.11 (Vendor-Specific-Application-Id
AVP)


 The Vendor-Id AVP in this context contains the IANA "SMI=20
 Network Management Private Enterprise Codes" [RFC3232] value
 assigned to the vendor of the Diameter application advertised=20
 in the Auth-Application-Id or Acct-Application-Id AVP. It=20
 indicates that the peer supports (a subset of) the vendor-
 specific AVPs of the application vendor. It MUST NOT be used
 as a means of defining a completely separate vendor-specific
 application identifier space.

---

Regards
Mark

I think this is the main criteria why the bis should not be too 
concerned with backward compatibility. 3588 never mandated any 
validation/processing on the vendor-id so if extra functionality is 
added onto vendor-id then its already a risky implementation for any 
vendor despite of any changes we propose.

Ok.

I'm fine with this.

1. We can remove "(a subset of)". Advertising support for an application 
does not provide hints on "subsets" of avps.

Hi All,

Here are my initial comments on this draft.

----

Firstly idnits gives rather many errors and warning. The authors
should check the draft against the idnits.

Some editorial comments:

Section 1.1

 o "...communication schemes of any kind, such as 1-to-n (case of=20
   TV broadcasting services for example) or n-to-p (case of..."

   rather use  one-to-many and many-to-many

 o "...high-quality multicast transport using a Resource and=20
   Admission Control System (RACS) with multicast..."

   I assume this refers to TiSPAN defined RACS functional entity.
   I would like to see a reference here.

 o "...presented in draft-ietf-mboned-maccnt-req-04.txt,..."

   Rather use the reference to [1]

 o "...MACCNT-REQ-draft describes the requirements in CDN services=20
   using IP multicast[1]. The requirements are derived from:..."
 o "...Detailed requirements are presented in MACCNT-REQ-draft...."

   Again the reference..

Section 2.1

 o "   Note: The definition of a receiver (device) and a user=20
   (human) should not be confused. "

   This note does not really fit into definitions as it is. Now it
   looks like yet another definition, which is not the intent I
   assume.
=20
Section 2.2

 o AAA, mAAA, NSP-AAA, CP-AAA, ID, API, IF, NAS, QoS
   and RACS are missing

Section 3

 o "...are divided between separate entities.  The MACCNT-REQ-
   draft provides more detail of the multiple versus single..."
  =20
   Reference.

 o "...entity CDS network models. "

   Expand CDS on the first use

 o "As such it should not be assumed that the entity=20
   responsible for the multicasting structure and the entity=20
   responsible for content serving are the same.  Indeed=20
   because the infrastructure for multicasting is expensive=20
   and many content holders are not likely to be competent at=20
   building and maintaining complicated infrastructures=20
   necessary for multicasting, many content holders would=20
   prefer to purchase transport and management services from a=20
   network service provider and thus share the infrastructure=20
   costs with other content holders."

   Consider revising.. to something like.. whatever..

   "It should not be assumed that the entity  responsible for
    the multicasting infrastructure is not the same as the entity=20
    responsible for serving the content. Content holders are not
    likely to build and maintain their own multicast network
    infrastructure that is not part of their expertise area. Rather
    they are willing to purchase transport and management services
    from dedicated network service providers."

 o "...The use model of a single NSP providing multicasting=20
   services to multiple CPs the following general requirements=20
   from MACCNT-REQ-draft apply:..."

   References..

   Expand CP on the first usage.

   Reword to something like

   "In the usage model of where a single NSP provides multicast
    services to multiple Content Providers (CP), the following
    general requirements from [1] apply:.."

 o "When the NSP and CP are the same single entity the general=20
   requirements are as follows."

   revise to=20

   "When the NSP and the CP are the same entity then the general=20
    requirements are as follows:"
   =20
Section 4.1

 o "A general high-level framework can be represented as=20
   follows." =20
 =20
   revise to.. something like

   "A general high-level framework is presented in the=20
    Figure 1." =20

 o For relationships use similar style as in previous sections.
   e.g. 1:1 -> one-to-one or 1-to-1 etc..

 o Expand STB on the first use.

 o What is STB? It is mentioned only once in this document in this
   section..

 o "The CP is responsible for Authentication and Authorization.."

   use "authentication and authorization" =20
=20
 o "...(authentication by proxy), and the NSP's relevant AAA.."

   Authentication via or through?=20

 o NSP-AAA and CP-AAA?

 o "...without querying the CP-AAA.  When the NSP cannot or=20
   decides not to multicast to users, the NSP may notify the..."

   I don't get what this is supposed to mean.


Section 4.2

 o Heading -> "Multiple User Identities"

 o Expand ID on the first use.

Section 4.2

 o References to [1].. and a consistent way of doing those would be
nice.

 o Reference to RFC3810 & RFC3376

 o Expand API on the first use

Section 4.5

 o References

Section 4.7

 o "reestablish" to "re-establish"?

Section 5

 o "Section 3.1 introduces the high-level AAA framework for..."

    introduced

 o "...access to the User.  First a user that requests content..."

   revise to.. something like

   "...access to a user. First the user.."
 =20
 o "...to the appropriate CP for Authentication and Authorization..."

   authorization and authorization

 o Notation of relations.. 1:1 etc to similar as previously used

Section 5.2

 o References..

 o Should these "well managed", "fully enabled AAA" etc be defined
   in section 2.1

 o "Section 3.1 intriduces" -> introduced

 o "of a AAA" -> "of an AAA"

 o In the figure 2 the caption is partial.. or parts of it is
   before the figure.. should be fixed

 o Use consistent way of expanding abbreviations.. both types e.g.
   Content Provider (CP) and CP (Content Provider) are used

 o Figure 3 has similar caption issues as figure 2


I got a bit stuck to general presentation of the draft. It needs
more work. For general readability of the draft I would suggest
paying attention to overall formatting. This may sound naive but
IMHO I would suggest using some tool that generates automatically
a proper layout, such as xml2rfc.=20


And then some remotely technical comments, if any.

 o It is rather unclear to me how the actual AAA transactions are
   supposed to work (refer to fig. 1). CP auth/authz the user
   and the CP also auth/authz the NSP?  Are these separate?
   What about user to NSP auth/authz? (this is then later
   described better in section 5.1 but not where the fig.1=20
   is described)

 o "The actual mapping rules for NSPs and CPs to map user IDs=20
   with the IDs in other provider domains is a matter for the=20
   providers.  A solution should provide an API between the=20
   providers to flexibly support various mapping methods."

   The inter-working could be explained a bit more carefully.
   An example would be nice. Otherwise this is rather unambiguous.


 o Standardization of logs? Do you mean coming up with a file
   presentation format for user session tracking? Or rather
   just defining that billing record format? Could any of the
   existing ones be re-used or expanded?

 o "...This framework specifies an accounting API provided by the=20
   NSP and accessed by the CP to allow for sharing user-..."

   I don't really find the API specification in this framework
   draft
 =20
 o Does API here actually mean AAA interface or something else?
   The use of API-term is somewhat confusing..

 o "content request" is AAA request?

 o It would be nice to have a separate sections (or something)
   going through each AAA interface (IFa, IFb, etc)=20


Cheers,
	Jouni

Does anyone perceive any impact of this discussion on Vendor-Id sub AVP in
Vendor-Specific-Application-Id AVP? As my understanding goes, Application-Id
is flat and there are no validation procedures for Vendor-Id sub-AVP (as it
is informational). Then why is it mandatory in the bis- draft?

thanks,
Harish

Hi Harish,

What do you mean with "informational"? I assume you refer it being =
between [] and optional. OTOH, the minimum count was given as 1, so =
actually it was a mandatory AVP. Changing this could cause message =
verification errors as many implementation try to validate an incoming =
message based on command/Grouped AVP grammars.

   Thanks,
   Tolga

Hi Harish,
=20
The proposed update to section 6.11 means the Vendor-Id sub-AVP is no
longer informational. It does mean that a vendor applying for a
vendor-specific application will have to obtain a Private Enterprise
Code too but they'd need to do that anyway in order to define any
vendor-specific AVPs for their application.
=20
Regards
Mark

	Does anyone perceive any impact of this discussion on Vendor-Id
sub AVP in Vendor-Specific-Application-Id AVP? As my understanding goes,
Application-Id is flat and there are no validation procedures for
Vendor-Id sub-AVP (as it is informational). Then why is it mandatory in

This was the scenario I was trying to point out:

1. Application-IDs are allocated by IANA, and have to be obtained by a
vendor with a Private Enterprise Code.

2. 1 implies that its possible to implicitly derive the Vendor info from the
Application Id itself.

Consider a situation wherein a diameter implementation sends a
Vendor-Specific-Application-Id with an erroneous combination of (Vendor-Id,
Auth/Acct-Application-Id). Some implementations may choose to validate the
Vendor-Id and some may choose not to.

Wouldnt this be an interoperability issue? If so, why have Vendor-Id in
Vendor-Specific-Application-Id to create scope for this?

thanks,
Harish

This was the scenario I was trying to point out:<br><br>1. Application-IDs are allocated by IANA, and have to be obtained by a vendor with a Private Enterprise Code. <br><br>2. 1 implies that its possible to implicitly derive the Vendor info from the Application Id itself.
<br><br>Consider a situation wherein a diameter implementation sends a Vendor-Specific-Application-Id with an erroneous combination of (Vendor-Id, Auth/Acct-Application-Id). Some implementations may choose to validate the Vendor-Id and some may choose not to.

Just to make sure I've understood the validation part: Do you mean that
an implementation would have a map from application Id to vendor Id and
validate all incoming Vendor-Specific-Application-Id AVPs against this
map?
=20
So your proposal would be to make this map 'mandatory to implement' and
remove the Vendor-Id sub-AVP altogether?

Mark

		The proposed update to section 6.11 means the Vendor-Id
sub-AVP is no longer informational. It does mean that a vendor applying
for a vendor-specific application will have to obtain a Private

First, I think the bis does not mandate that such validation should take 
place. If that needs to be made clear by saying that vendor-id is 
informational value that contains the vendor info authoring the app and 
that the value is relevant for debugging purpose only then that will be 
good enough. Second, if ever somebody decides to validate these values 
and generate an "erroneous combination" type of error (not sure how 
efficient that would be since now you have to map all these values 
together ...) , it becomes an implementation issue and not an 
interoperability problem. I know other folks are putting too much 
meaning into these types of AVPs so making the usage context clear will 
help avoid limit this problem. Revising the importance of vendor-id to 
accommodate the (not so good) decisions other folks have made would 
worsen the problem.

regards,
victor

Hi,

I suggest not doing this. From the base protocol perspective, the 
vendor-id should not give more meaning that it deserves.

victor

Victor,

I think a clarification text would be good enough so that an implementation
would not validate Vendor-Id while updating its knowledge about
peer-advertised applications.

thanks,
Harish

While we are at this, I propose to add the following as well:

(Text to replace in 5.3.6 Supported-Vendor-Id AVP)
   "This is used in the CER and CEA messages in order to inform the peer
   that the sender supports (a subset of) the vendor-specific AVPs
   defined by the vendor identified in this AVP."

(Proposed Text)
"This AVP can be used in CER, CEA or in any application command, which
has it defined in the corresponding message grammar. It informs the peer
that the sender supports (a subset of) the vendor-specific AVPs defined
by the vendor identified in this AVP.

It should be noted that CER/CEA messages are exchanged in a hop-by-hop
fashion. If there are intermediary nodes, e.g. a relay agent, between a
client and server, Supported-Vendor-Id AVP won't be exchanged between
the client and the server."

   Thanks,
   Tolga

I'm ok with the text. Some editorial notes, maybe to simplify:

"It should be noted that since CER/CEA messages are exchanged only 
between peers and
does not extend beyond the single hop, Supported-Vendor-Id AVPs carried 
in these messages
are relevant only between Diameter peers."

Did I get your ideas correctly ?

victor

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories.
This draft is a work item of the Diameter Maintenance and Extensions Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Diameter Base Protocol
	Author(s)	: V. Fajardo, et al.
	Filename	: draft-ietf-dime-rfc3588bis-06.txt
	Pages		: 158
	Date		: 2007-8-22
	
The Diameter base protocol is intended to provide an Authentication,
   Authorization and Accounting (AAA) framework for applications such as
   network access or IP mobility.  Diameter is also intended to work in
   both local Authentication, Authorization & Accounting and roaming
   situations.  This document specifies the message format, transport,
   error reporting, accounting and security services to be used by all
   Diameter applications.  The Diameter base application needs to be
   supported by all Diameter implementations.

Hi all,
Here are my preliminary comments on this draft as promised.
1. ".. activated to make sure a given requesting customer is (1)
   what he claims to be (identification purposes)," in section 2.1
is authentication, not authorization

2. It is not clear why RACS is not needed when NSP and CP are the same 
single entity

3. Can mAAA push unsolicited access control information to NAS?

4. "Refer to section 3.3" in section 7. There is no section 3.3

Subject: RE: [Dime] [Fwd: Request for review of "AAA Framework for 
Multicasting"]


Hi All,

Here are my initial comments on this draft.

----

Firstly idnits gives rather many errors and warning. The authors
should check the draft against the idnits.

Some editorial comments:

Section 1.1

 o "...communication schemes of any kind, such as 1-to-n (case of
   TV broadcasting services for example) or n-to-p (case of..."

   rather use  one-to-many and many-to-many

 o "...high-quality multicast transport using a Resource and
   Admission Control System (RACS) with multicast..."

   I assume this refers to TiSPAN defined RACS functional entity.
   I would like to see a reference here.

 o "...presented in draft-ietf-mboned-maccnt-req-04.txt,..."

   Rather use the reference to [1]

 o "...MACCNT-REQ-draft describes the requirements in CDN services
   using IP multicast[1]. The requirements are derived from:..."
 o "...Detailed requirements are presented in MACCNT-REQ-draft...."

   Again the reference..

Section 2.1

 o "   Note: The definition of a receiver (device) and a user
   (human) should not be confused. "

   This note does not really fit into definitions as it is. Now it
   looks like yet another definition, which is not the intent I
   assume.

Section 2.2

 o AAA, mAAA, NSP-AAA, CP-AAA, ID, API, IF, NAS, QoS
   and RACS are missing

Section 3

 o "...are divided between separate entities.  The MACCNT-REQ-
   draft provides more detail of the multiple versus single..."

   Reference.

 o "...entity CDS network models. "

   Expand CDS on the first use

 o "As such it should not be assumed that the entity
   responsible for the multicasting structure and the entity
   responsible for content serving are the same.  Indeed
   because the infrastructure for multicasting is expensive
   and many content holders are not likely to be competent at
   building and maintaining complicated infrastructures
   necessary for multicasting, many content holders would
   prefer to purchase transport and management services from a
   network service provider and thus share the infrastructure
   costs with other content holders."

   Consider revising.. to something like.. whatever..

   "It should not be assumed that the entity  responsible for
    the multicasting infrastructure is not the same as the entity
    responsible for serving the content. Content holders are not
    likely to build and maintain their own multicast network
    infrastructure that is not part of their expertise area. Rather
    they are willing to purchase transport and management services
    from dedicated network service providers."

 o "...The use model of a single NSP providing multicasting
   services to multiple CPs the following general requirements
   from MACCNT-REQ-draft apply:..."

   References..

   Expand CP on the first usage.

   Reword to something like

   "In the usage model of where a single NSP provides multicast
    services to multiple Content Providers (CP), the following
    general requirements from [1] apply:.."

 o "When the NSP and CP are the same single entity the general
   requirements are as follows."

   revise to

   "When the NSP and the CP are the same entity then the general
    requirements are as follows:"

Section 4.1

 o "A general high-level framework can be represented as
   follows."

   revise to.. something like

   "A general high-level framework is presented in the
    Figure 1."

 o For relationships use similar style as in previous sections.
   e.g. 1:1 -> one-to-one or 1-to-1 etc..

 o Expand STB on the first use.

 o What is STB? It is mentioned only once in this document in this
   section..

 o "The CP is responsible for Authentication and Authorization.."

   use "authentication and authorization"

 o "...(authentication by proxy), and the NSP's relevant AAA.."

   Authentication via or through?

 o NSP-AAA and CP-AAA?

 o "...without querying the CP-AAA.  When the NSP cannot or
   decides not to multicast to users, the NSP may notify the..."

   I don't get what this is supposed to mean.


Section 4.2

 o Heading -> "Multiple User Identities"

 o Expand ID on the first use.

Section 4.2

 o References to [1].. and a consistent way of doing those would be
nice.

 o Reference to RFC3810 & RFC3376

 o Expand API on the first use

Section 4.5

 o References

Section 4.7

 o "reestablish" to "re-establish"?

Section 5

 o "Section 3.1 introduces the high-level AAA framework for..."

    introduced

 o "...access to the User.  First a user that requests content..."

   revise to.. something like

   "...access to a user. First the user.."

 o "...to the appropriate CP for Authentication and Authorization..."

   authorization and authorization

 o Notation of relations.. 1:1 etc to similar as previously used

Section 5.2

 o References..

 o Should these "well managed", "fully enabled AAA" etc be defined
   in section 2.1

 o "Section 3.1 intriduces" -> introduced

 o "of a AAA" -> "of an AAA"

 o In the figure 2 the caption is partial.. or parts of it is
   before the figure.. should be fixed

 o Use consistent way of expanding abbreviations.. both types e.g.
   Content Provider (CP) and CP (Content Provider) are used

 o Figure 3 has similar caption issues as figure 2


I got a bit stuck to general presentation of the draft. It needs
more work. For general readability of the draft I would suggest
paying attention to overall formatting. This may sound naive but
IMHO I would suggest using some tool that generates automatically
a proper layout, such as xml2rfc.


And then some remotely technical comments, if any.

 o It is rather unclear to me how the actual AAA transactions are
   supposed to work (refer to fig. 1). CP auth/authz the user
   and the CP also auth/authz the NSP?  Are these separate?
   What about user to NSP auth/authz? (this is then later
   described better in section 5.1 but not where the fig.1
   is described)

 o "The actual mapping rules for NSPs and CPs to map user IDs
   with the IDs in other provider domains is a matter for the
   providers.  A solution should provide an API between the
   providers to flexibly support various mapping methods."

   The inter-working could be explained a bit more carefully.
   An example would be nice. Otherwise this is rather unambiguous.


 o Standardization of logs? Do you mean coming up with a file
   presentation format for user session tracking? Or rather
   just defining that billing record format? Could any of the
   existing ones be re-used or expanded?

 o "...This framework specifies an accounting API provided by the
   NSP and accessed by the CP to allow for sharing user-..."

   I don't really find the API specification in this framework
   draft

 o Does API here actually mean AAA interface or something else?
   The use of API-term is somewhat confusing..

 o "content request" is AAA request?

 o It would be nice to have a separate sections (or something)
   going through each AAA interface (IFa, IFb, etc)


Cheers,
Jouni

Tolga,=20

I understand the goal of end-to-end advertisement but it is not clear to
me how the Supported-Vendor-Id AVP would be interpreted in commands
other than CER/CEA.=20

Would it be included to indicate to the peer that only the current
command contains AVP from the advertised vendor?=20

Or is it intended to indicate to the peer that current and future
commands MAY contain AVPs from the advertised vendor?

Does it imply that the commands contain mandatory AVPs from the
advertised vendor? If so, how should a peer behave if it receives a
command advertising a vendor that it doesn't support?=20

Could a relay node add/delete this AVP? Under what conditions?

Lots of other questions come to mind and I suspect that some of the
answers depend on the specific command or application. So I'd prefer to
leave it to the authors of the application which reuses this AVP to
define how the Supported-Vendor-Id AVP is used in their commands rather
than attempt to define a common set of required behavior in 3588bis.
Since reuse of all AVPs is encouraged, it is not necessary to mention
here that this particular AVP can be reused.

Regards
Mark

Hi Mark,

Yes, I agree with your concerns. It would be difficult to define proper
semantics for generic use and probably bis is not the right place to do
so. Victor's version of the text mentions only about the hop-by-hop
nature of capability exchange and warns people about it; it leaves the
end-to-end part to applications.

   Thanks,
   Tolga

It has been bought to my attention off the list that my proposal that a
peer assumes support of vendor-specific AVPs based on the Vendor-Id
sub-AVP would cause interop issues with existing implementations of
certain TISPAN applications. I therefore withdraw my previous proposal
and present a new one for your consideration.

Harish suggested making the Vendor-Id sub-AVP optional/informational
because it is not required to identify the application. This is true so
if the Vendor-Id sub-AVP is made optional, it then becomes mandatory to
identify support of the application vendor's AVPs in the
Supported-Vendor-Id AVP. This proposal keeps the TISPAN applications
happy.

So the proposed changes to 3588bis-06 are:

1) Update 1st paragraph in section 5.5.3 (Vendor-Id AVP)

 The Vendor-Id AVP (AVP Code 266) is of type Unsigned32 and
 contains the IANA "SMI Network Management Private Enterprise
 Codes" [RFC3232] value assigned to the vendor of the Diameter
 device. It is envisioned that the combination of the Vendor-Id,
 Product-Name (Section 5.3.7) and the Firmware-Revision (Section
 5.3.4) AVPs MAY provide very useful debugging information.

---

2) Add new paragraph to section 5.3.6 (Supported-Vendor-Id AVP)

 A peer advertising support of a vendor-specific application
 does not imply that it also supports the vendor-specific
 AVPs of the application vendor. The Capabilities Exchange=20
 message MUST instead include a Supported-Vendor-Id AVP with
 the IANA "SMI Network  Management Private Enterprise Codes"=20
 [RFC3232] value of the application vendor.

---

3) Update 2nd paragraph in section 6.11 (Vendor-Specific-Application-Id
AVP)


 The Vendor-Id AVP is an informational AVP pertaining to
 the vendor who may have authorship of the vendor-specific=20
 Diameter application. It MUST NOT be used as a means of=20
 defining a completely separate vendor-specific application
 identifier space.

---

4) Update ABNF in section 6.11 (Vendor-Specific-Application-Id AVP)

 <Vendor-Specific-Application-Id> ::=3D < AVP Header: 260 >
                                      [ Vendor-Id ]
                                     ({ Auth-Application-Id } /
                                      { Acct-Application-Id })

---

These changes are in addition to the text suggested by Tolga/Victor to
clarify the hop-by-hop nature of CER/CEA. I also agree to that addition.

Regards
Mark

Hi Mark,

So basically you are proposing to make Vendor-Id AVP in
Vendor-Specific-Application-Id Grouped AVP optional. This changes the
grammar of the Vendor-Specific-Application-Id. People verify incoming
messages according to that grammar. This breaks backward compatibility.

I also find it odd that people used Vendor-Id AVP in the
Vendor-Specific-Application-Id AVP to signal support for AVPs defined by
a vendor. They should have used Vendor-Id AVP in CER/CEA for that
purpose according to RFC3588.

Could you provide the text from the corresponding TISPAN specification,
which you think would cause a problem?

   Thanks,
   Tolga

I think the right term as I mentioned yesterday is that 'the content of

view.

This text implies that the base protocol does some validity checking 
contrary to what I was mentioning yesterday. I'm beginning to think that 
these proposals are trying to cater to other SDOs rather than 
maintaining the sanity of the base protocol. I think extended text on 
how people treat Vendor-Id/Supported-Vendor-Id and what problems you 
need to deal with should be place in the app guide rather than bis.

victor

Actually, after thinking a bit more, it started to make sense to me to
use different values for the Vendor-Id in CER/CEA and in
Vendor-Specific-Application-Id.=20

In case of CER/CEA, it makes sense to use the Id of the device vendor.
For Vendor-Specific-Application-Id (although it is not really necessary
but for the sake of not changing the grammar) Id of the application
vendor can be used.

One approach could be=20
a) Define Vendor-Id AVP itself lightly, i.e. "Vendor-Id AVP specifies
the identity of a vendor"
b) Provide information about what vendor identity needs to be used in
the corresponding messages/grouped AVPs, i.e.
i- CER/CEA, Vendor-Id AVP should contain vendor-Id of the device vendor
ii- Vendor-Specific-Application-Id, Vendor-Id AVP should contain
vendor-Id of the application vendor.

I agree with the general principle of considering anything in Vendor-Id
as informational. This should take care of any interoperability
problems, which could arise due to some checks etc...

   Thanks,
   Tolga

>=20

I read the Vendor-Id sub-AVP as being optional in the original 3588
ABNF:

  <Vendor-Specific-Application-Id> ::=3D < AVP Header: 260 >
                                     1* [ Vendor-Id ]
                                     0*1{ Auth-Application-Id }
                                     0*1{ Acct-Application-Id }

By contract, it is now a required, single value AVP in the latest
3588bis.=20
Doesn't that break backwards compatibility?

>=20

Looks like TISPAN actually assumed that this AVP was meant to indicate
"the manufacturer of the Diameter node". I don't follow TISPAN so can't
comment on why. Maybe it was the text about product, firmware and
debugging that tipped them off to its originally intended use.

> Could you provide the text from the corresponding TISPAN=20

>=20

As I mentioned, I don't follow TISPAN but here is the reference I was
passed:

ETSI TS 183 017: 6.6 Advertising application support

"Additonally, the AF and SPDF shall advertise the support of additional
Vendor-ID AVPs by including the value ETSI (13019) and 3GPP (10415) in
two different Supported-Vendor-Id AVPs of the CER and CEA commands."

So a peer implementing my previous proposal would not include the ETSI
vendor id in a Supported-Vendor-ID AVP and then existing Gq'
implementations would barf.

Regards
Mark

[TOLGA]Please note the 1*. 1*[] actually means that to have at least a
single instance is mandatory. The change in the bis is just to use a
more appropriate notation for this.

[TOLGA]Actually your real concern was about Vendor-Id AVP. Maybe we can
leave Supported-Vendor-Id AVP intact. For certain cases it could be
redundant but probably this is not a big deal.

I think that *1 [Vendor-Id] is more appropriate than { Vendor-Id} in the
ABNF notation of the Vendor-Specific-Application-Id AVP. My understanding
and interpretation of Vendor-Specific-Appication-Id is that it is used to
identify an application which is authored by a specific Vendor (and not by
multiple vendors).

The Supported-Vendor-Id is used by a node to advertise to the peer that it
can support AVPs belonging to a specifi vendor (but does not imply any
applications from that vendor). In the light of this, its unrelated to this
discussion it should be left as-is.

My two cents.

regards,
Harish

Wouldn't *{} be the notation for "at least a single instance is
mandatory"?
To be honest, 1*[] looks like an oxymoron and [] means optional to me.

My notation confusion aside, if you insist that making Vendor-Id
optional will cause backwards compatibility reasons, I can live with it
being required as long as it is informational.=20

>=20

There were two concerns in my original email. The second one concerns
where a peer would advertise support of the VSAs of the application
vendor: (a) Supported-Vendor-Id or (b) Vendor-Id sub-AVP. I still feel
this requires a normative statement in the 3588bis.

I'm fine with that term. If changing it to optional creates backwards
compatibility issues then I'm OK if it remains required.

>=20

I assume implementations would validate the Supported-Vendor-Id AVP
values against the vendor-specific dictionaries that they have
available. Wasn't that the intent?

I don't think this can go into the app design guide because it requires
a normative statement: either the application vendor's vendor-id goes in
the Vendor-Id sub-AVP or it goes in the Supported-Vendor-Id AVP. Sure
you can leave it undefined and let every vendor-specific application
specify their preferences but IMO this really is Base functionality so
it should be defined in 3588bis.

Regards
Mark

[TOLGA]I agree that 1*[] isn't elegant, but this is the very reason why
it is changed to {}. Even with 1*[], what happens is that people check
for the existence of this AVP because of the 1*.

[TOLGA] Just to summarize (and to make sure that I didn't get anything
wrong), what we ideally want is:
CER
   Vendor-Id =3D=3D> device vendor
   Supported-Vendor-Id =3D=3D> vendor of the supported AVPs
   Vendor-Specific-Application-Id
               Vendor-Id =3D=3D> application vendor

IMHO, existing Supported-Vendor-Id AVP explanation in RFC3588 5.3.6
provides enough explanation for that type of usage. I asked whether it
makes sense to add some text to warn people about hop-by-hop nature of
CER/CEA but it is a different issue.

For Vendor-Id, with your proposed changes, the first use case of
Vendor-Id will be covered, we will use the Id of the device vendor.

For the second use case of Vendor-Id, we can either say=20
that this information is anyhow redundant because application-Id space
is flat and there is no harm using Id of the device vendor=20
OR
organize the text in a way where the content of the Vendor-Id is
specified at the sections where it is used, i.e. we can say that for
CER/CEA it is device vendor and when used in the
Vendor-Specific-Application-Id it is the application vendor.

And I think we shouldn't forget to mention that Vendor-Id is
informational, that would cover any type of interoperability issues.

So, AFAICS, we need to choose whether we want different values for
Vendor-Id depending on where it is used. I don't see any harm at doing
so.

Good summary Tolga, I think we're close. :)

 Vendor-Id =3D=3D> Device vendor
 Vendor-Specific-Application-Id
                Vendor-Id =3D=3D> not used during computation

So the Vendor-Id sub-AVP ABNF and text remain unchanged from 3588bis-06.


Now the ambiguous one: For TISPAN, the list of Supported-Vendor-Id AVPs
MUST include one containing the vendor id assigned to the application
vendor (ETSI in their case).

If we agree with TISPAN, we add a new paragraph to section 5.3.6:

   A peer advertising support of a vendor-specific application
   does not imply that it also supports the vendor-specific
   AVPs of the application vendor. The Capabilities Exchange=20
   message MUST instead include a Supported-Vendor-Id AVP with
   the IANA "SMI Network  Management Private Enterprise Codes"=20
   [RFC3232] value of the application vendor.

If we disagree with TISPAN, where does the application vendor's
vendor-id go?

Regards
Mark

Hi Mark,

> available. Wasn't that the intent?
>   

Mmmm ... this is what I think should NOT be mandated in the bis. As I 
mentioned, the contents of this AVP is "for debugging and informational 
only" as far as the base protocol is concerned and therefore we should 
not assume anything.

> I don't think this can go into the app design guide because it requires
> a normative statement: either the application vendor's vendor-id goes in

That's fine. Saying what the content should be is ok with me. Saying 
what processing would be done with the content is not ok.

regards,
victor

[TOLGA] Two points here:
a) If an application is advertised as supported, isn't it obvious that
the corresponding AVPs are supported as well? This makes me think that
Supported-Vendor-Id is more useful to signal support for optional vendor
specific AVPs, if the vendor is not the originator of the application.
b) What text does prevent people adding Supported-Vendor-Id AVP for such
a case? With the changes you proposed for the Vendor-Id, it will be
clear that it is supposed to contain the device vendor. And considering
the existing 5.3.6 text, people would use Supported-Vendor-Id to signal
support for vendor specific AVPs. Basically, I don't think the text you
propose for 5.3.6 is wrong, just it seems redundant to me (and MUST
seems to be strong for this case, current 5.3.6 text does not use any
IETF keywords).=20

I'm still not convinced that putting this text in bis is proper. The bis 
is now starting to assume/imply some type validation processing between 
these AVPs, contradictory to its 'informational' status.

I am not suggesting for a second that 3588bis should contain any hints
of what should be done with these AVPs. However, it also shouldn't leave
any doubt in the mind of an implementor about what value an AVP
contains. IMO it should be completely unnecessary for a vendor-specific
application specification to detail what vendor id values go into which
AVPs of the CER/CEA commands. Those are Base protocol commands and I
look to RFC3588 to define their content.

However, TISPAN had to describe that the ETSI vendor id goes in the
Supported-Vendor-Id AVP. IMO they should have been able to simply list
their application ids and vendor ids then refer implementors off to
RFC3588. This is not a 'design choice' so I don't think the Applications
Design Guidelines draft is the appropriate home for this.

It is also interesting to note Tolga's comment that "If an application
is advertised as supported, isn't it obvious that the corresponding AVPs
are supported as well". I thought so too but the answer doesn't get you
any closer to what goes in the Supported-Vendor-Id AVP. Maybe we think
it is obvious but ETSI didn't think so and other SDOs appear to be
divided on that question.=20

[TOLGA] IMHO, a "Yes" answer provides some idea about what to put to
Supported-Vendor-Id AVP. In such a case, one would use
Supported-Vendor-Id to indicate support for optional vendor specific
AVPs, where vendor is not the vendor of the application, e.g. 3GPP
adding some optional AVPs to an IETF application. OTOH adding the Id of
the application vendor probably wouldn't hurt either, if one chooses to
do so.

I am also wondering what ETSI (and other SDOs) are planning to do with
Supported-Vendor-Id AVP. Do they define some semantics for it, e.g. if a
server does not support the extensions signaled in the
Supported-Vendor-Id it should reject the request. Any extension AVP has
to be optional, so what is the big deal about advertising support for
them in an AVP? What would be broken if it is not advertised or what
benefit does it provide to advertise it? Just include the optional AVPs
in the message and if they are not understood by the peer so be it (it
may be used only to save some bandwidth by not including certain vendor
defined optional AVPs AFAICS, and that is only after the first
transaction of the session). Overall I think Supported-Vendor-Id AVP is
not fit to enforce strong semantics. The more I think about it the more
it makes sense to emphasize its informational nature.

To me the explanation in RFC3588 5.3.6 is fine
    The Supported-Vendor-Id AVP (AVP Code 265) is of type Unsigned32 and
   contains the IANA "SMI Network Management Private Enterprise Codes"
   [ASSIGNNO] value assigned to a vendor other than the device vendor.
   This is used in the CER and CEA messages in order to inform the peer
   that the sender supports (a subset of) the vendor-specific AVPs
   defined by the vendor identified in this AVP.

If there is a need for more explanation, that is O.K. IMHO as long as we
don't introduce strong rules about it.

This part is ok and your proposed changes to 5.5.3 and 6.11 should be 
enough.

This is fine as well. But the proposed new paragraph in 5.3.6 is not 
related to this.

Would'nt the proposed changes to 5.5.3 and 6.11 be enough ? IMHO, the 
proposed new paragraph in 5.3.6 goes beyond that since it requires which 
AVPs MUST be included in the CER/CEA.

My two cents,

But it doesn't clarify was whether the list of Supported-Vendor-Id AVPs
should include the vendor-id of the application vendor. That is all I'm
looking for.

>=20

Understood. My proposed text includes a MUST and I realize this is too
strong. I'll try to come up with new clause for the existing 5.3.6
paragraph (without any requirement keywords).

Mark

>=20

The 5.3.6 text was only meant to clarify was whether the list of
Supported-Vendor-Id AVPs should include the vendor-id of the
vendor-specific application vendor. It apparently has implications
beyond those I intended.
=20

Now I think I understand your objection to my text: I have added a MUST
around presence of the Supported-Vendor-Id AVP in CER/CEA where none
existed before. Right?

So how about:=20

   The Supported-Vendor-Id AVP (AVP Code 265) is of type Unsigned32 and
   contains the IANA "SMI Network Management Private Enterprise Codes"
   [ASSIGNNO] value assigned to a vendor other than the device vendor=20
   but including the vendor-specific application vendor. This is used=20
   in the CER and CEA messages in order to inform the peer that the=20
   sender supports (a subset of) the vendor-specific AVPs defined by=20
   the vendor identified in this AVP.

Thanks guys.=20

Here is where we've ended up:

---

1) Update 1st paragraph in section 5.5.3 (Vendor-Id AVP)

 The Vendor-Id AVP (AVP Code 266) is of type Unsigned32 and
 contains the IANA "SMI Network Management Private Enterprise
 Codes" [RFC3232] value assigned to the vendor of the Diameter
 device. It is envisioned that the combination of the Vendor-Id,
 Product-Name (Section 5.3.7) and the Firmware-Revision (Section
 5.3.4) AVPs MAY provide very useful debugging information.

---

2) Update the first paragraph in section 5.3.6 (Supported-Vendor-Id AVP)

 The Supported-Vendor-Id AVP (AVP Code 265) is of type Unsigned32 and
 contains the IANA "SMI Network Management Private Enterprise Codes"
 [ASSIGNNO] value assigned to a vendor other than the device vendor=20
 but including the application vendor. This is used in the CER and=20
 CEA messages in order to inform the peer that the sender supports=20
 (a subset of) the vendor-specific AVPs defined by the vendor=20
 identified in this AVP.

AVP)


 The Vendor-Id AVP is an informational AVP pertaining to

Just the tiniest nit: in that first paragraph the "may" in "may provide" is not 
an RFC 2119 "MAY": we're not telling anyone what they're allowed to do.  I'd 
also be happier to take out the "very" from "very useful" -- this is a standard 
rather than a sales brochure.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories.
This draft is a work item of the Diameter Maintenance and Extensions Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Diameter Base Protocol
	Author(s)	: V. Fajardo, et al.
	Filename	: draft-ietf-dime-rfc3588bis-06.txt
	Pages		: 158
	Date		: 2007-8-22
	
The Diameter base protocol is intended to provide an Authentication,
   Authorization and Accounting (AAA) framework for applications such as
   network access or IP mobility.  Diameter is also intended to work in
   both local Authentication, Authorization & Accounting and roaming
   situations.  This document specifies the message format, transport,
   error reporting, accounting and security services to be used by all
   Diameter applications.  The Diameter base application needs to be
   supported by all Diameter implementations.

	=09
Purpose: 	Response to Liaison Request

Deadline:	None

Title: Response to liaison request from ITU-T Study Group 13 work on=20
emergency telecommunications

This is a response to the liaison request made by Q.3/13 regarding=20
emergency telecommunications (REF: NGN-GSI/DOC =96 60 Rev.2). We would=20
first like to apologize for failing to meet the deadline in responding.=20
We do hope that the late answer still can be of some use.

The liaison request was made to the following working groups (WG):=20
IEPREP, TSVWG, and NSIS. Since the request was sent the IEPREP WG has=20
concluded. In addition to the WGs from which information was requested,=20
we also think that work performed by the DIME, SIP and SIPPING WG may be=20
of relevance.

Pursuant to ITU-T Study Group 13 request for information on relevant and=20
related work in the IETF regarding emergency communications, we list=20
below RFCs and works in progress that we feel may be of interest to your=20
group.  Some of the completed work is Informational, and others are in=20
the category of Standards Track.

Q.3/13 also requested that we keep you informed of any developments in=20
regards to emergency telecommunications. In those regards we would like=20
to make you aware that IETF mailing list participation and document=20
information is free and open to anyone, allowing participants in Q.3/13=20
to keep themselves informed of any developments. If Q.3/13 desire to get=20
further information about specific ongoing work, then please send a=20
liaison request to the responsible WG for those specific documents.

The following list is divided under the associated working groups from=20
which the work has been done within the IETF.


SIP Working Group

RFC 4412

Title:
    Communications Resource Priority for the Session Initiation
    Protocol (SIP)

Abstract:
    This document defines two new Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
    header fields for communicating resource priority, namely,
    "Resource-Priority" and "Accept-Resource-Priority".  The
    "Resource-Priority" header field can influence the behavior of SIP
    user agents (such as telephone gateways and IP telephones) and SIP
    proxies.  It does not directly influence the forwarding behavior of
    IP routers.

	The below two documents are proposed work items accepted to become IETF=20
WG items are likely of interest as they update RFC 4412.

Work In Progress:   draft-polk-sip-rph-in-responses-00

Title:
Allowing SIP Resource Priority Header in SIP Responses

Abstract:
    The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Resource Priority Header
    (RPH), in its current form, is ignored in SIP responses.  This was a
    design choice during RFC 4412's development. This is now considered
    a bad design choice in certain scenarios.  This document corrects
    RFC 4412's communications model by optionally allowing a SIP server
    or user agent client to process the Resource-Priority Header in a
    response.

Work In Progress:   draft-polk-sip-rph-new-namespaces--00

Title:
New Session Initiation Protocol Resource-Priority Header Namespaces for=20
the Defense Information Systems Agency

Abstract:
    This document creates additional Session Initiation Protocol
    Resource-Priority header namespaces, to be IANA registered.  This
    document intends to update RFC 4412, as a Proposed Standard document
    if published by the RFC-Editor.



SIPPING Working Group

RFC 4411

Title:
    Extending the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
    Reason Header for Preemption Events

Abstract:
   This document proposes an IANA Registration extension to the Session
    Initiation Protocol (SIP) Reason Header to be included in a BYE
    Method Request as a result of a session preemption event, either at a
    user agent (UA), or somewhere in the network involving a
    reservation-based protocol such as the Resource ReSerVation Protocol
    (RSVP) or Next Steps in Signaling (NSIS).  This document does not
    attempt to address routers failing in the packet path; instead, it
    addresses a deliberate tear down of a flow between UAs, and informs
    the terminated UA(s) with an indication of what occurred.

IEPREP Working Group

RFC 3487

Title:
    Requirements for Resource Priority Mechanisms for the
    Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)

Abstract:
    This document summarizes requirements for prioritizing access to
    circuit-switched network, end system and proxy resources for
    emergency preparedness communications using the Session Initiation
    Protocol (SIP).

RFC 3689

Title:
    General Requirements for
    Emergency Telecommunication Service (ETS)

Abstract:
    This document presents a list of general requirements in support of
    Emergency Telecommunications Service (ETS).  Solutions to these
    requirements are not presented in this document.  Additional
    requirements pertaining to specific applications, or types of
    applications, are to be specified in separate document(s).

RFC 3690

Title:
    IP Telephony Requirements for
    Emergency Telecommunication Service (ETS)

Abstract:
    This document presents a list of requirements in support of Emergency
    Telecommunications Service (ETS) within the context of IP telephony.
    It is an extension to the general requirements presented in RFC 3689.
    Solutions to these requirements are not presented in this document.

RFC 4190

Title:
    Framework for Supporting Emergency Telecommunications
    Service (ETS) in IP Telephony

Abstract:
    This document presents a framework for supporting authorized,
    emergency-related communication within the context of IP telephony.
    We present a series of objectives that reflect a general view of how
    authorized emergency service, in line with the Emergency
    Telecommunications Service (ETS), should be realized within today's
    IP architecture and service models.  From these objectives, we
    present a corresponding set of protocols and capabilities, which
    provide a more specific set of recommendations regarding existing
    IETF protocols.  Finally, we present two scenarios that act as
    guiding models for the objectives and functions listed in this
    document.  These models, coupled with an example of an existing
    service in the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), contribute
    to a constrained solution space.

RFC 4375

Title:
    Emergency Telecommunications Services (ETS) Requirements
    for a Single Administrative Domain

Abstract:
    This document presents a list of requirements in support of Emergency
    Telecommunications Service (ETS) within a single administrative
    domain.  This document focuses on a specific set of administrative
    constraints and scope.  Solutions to these requirements are not
    presented in this document.


TSV Working Group

RFC 4542

Title:
    Implementing an Emergency Telecommunications Service (ETS)
    for Real-Time Services in the Internet Protocol Suite

Abstract:
    RFCs 3689 and 3690 detail requirements for an Emergency
    Telecommunications Service (ETS), of which an Internet Emergency
    Preparedness Service (IEPS) would be a part.  Some of these types of
    services require call preemption; others require call queuing or
    other mechanisms.  IEPS requires a Call Admission Control (CAC)
    procedure and a Per Hop Behavior (PHB) for the data that meet the
    needs of this architecture.  Such a CAC procedure and PHB is
    appropriate to any service that might use H.323 or SIP to set up
    real-time sessions.  The key requirement is to guarantee an elevated
    probability of call completion to an authorized user in time of
    crisis.

    This document primarily discusses supporting ETS in the context of
    the US Government and NATO, because it focuses on the Multi-Level
    Precedence and Preemption (MLPP) and Government Emergency
    Telecommunication Service (GETS) standards.  The architectures
    described here are applicable beyond these organizations.

Work In Progress:   draft-ietf-tsvwg-emergency-rsvp-03.txt

Title:
    Resource ReSerVation Protovol (RSVP) Extensions for
    Emergency Services

Abstract:
    An Emergency Telecommunications Service (ETS) requires the ability to
    provide an elevated probability of session establishment to an
    authorized user in times of network congestion (typically, during a
    crisis). When supported over the Internet Protocol suite, this may be
    facilitated through a network layer admission control solution, which
    supports prioritized access to resources (e.g., bandwidth). These
    resources may be explicitly set aside for emergency services, or they
    may be shared with other sessions.

   This document specifies RSVP extensions that can be used to support
    such an admission priority capability at the network layer. Note that
    these extensions represent one possible solution component in
    satisfying ETS requirements. Other solution components, or other
    solutions, are outside the scope of this document.

NSIS Working Group

Work In Progress: draft-ietf-nsis-qos-nslp-14.txt

Title:
NSLP for Quality-of-Service Signaling

Abstract:
This specification describes the NSIS Signaling Layer Protocol (NSLP)=20
for signaling QoS reservations in the Internet.  It is in accordance=20
with the framework and requirements developed in NSIS.  Together with=20
GIST, it provides functionality similar to RSVP and extends it.  The QoS=20
NSLP is independent of the underlying QoS specification or architecture=20
and provides support for different reservation models. It is simplified=20
by the elimination of support for multicast flows. This specification=20
explains the overall protocol approach, design decisions made and=20
provides examples.  It specifies object, message  formats and processing=20
rules.

DIME Working Group

Work In Progress: draft-ietf-dime-diameter-qos-01.txt

Title:
   Diameter Quality of Service Application

Abstract:
   This document describes a Diameter application that performs
   Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting for Quality of Service
   (QoS) reservations.  This protocol is used by elements along the path
   of a given application flow to authenticate a reservation request,
   ensure that the reservation is authorized, and to account for
   resources consumed during the lifetime of the application flow.
   Clients that implement the Diameter QoS application contact an
   authorizing entity/application server that is located somewhere in
   the network, allowing for a wide variety of flexible deployment
   models.

Work In Progress: draft-ietf-dime-qos-parameters-00.txt

Title:
   Quality of Service Parameters for Usage with the AAA Framework

Abstract:
   This document defines a number of Quality of Service (QoS) parameters
   that can be reused for conveying QoS information within RADIUS and
   Diameter.

   The payloads used to carry these QoS parameters are opaque for the
   AAA client and the AAA server itself and interpreted by the
   respective Resource Management Function.

Work In Progress: draft-ietf-dime-qos-attributes-01.txt

Title:
   Quality of Service Attributes for Diameter and RADIUS

Abstract:
   This document extends the functionality of the Diameter Base protocol
   and other Diameter applications with respect to their ability to
   convey Quality of Service information.  The AVPs defined in this
   document are also available for Remote Authentication Dial In User
   Service (RADIUS).


Non-WG Documents

	Approved for publication: draft-carlberg-trip-attribute-rp-02.txt

	Title:
	  TRIP Attribute for Resource Priority
=09
Abstract:
    This document defines a new attribute for  the  TRIP  protocol.   The
    attribute   associates   protocols/services   in  the  PSTN  offering
    authorized  prioritization  during  call  setup  that  are  reachable
    through  a TRIP gateway.  Current examples of preferential service in
    the PSTN are Government Emergency Telecommunications  Service  (GETS)
    in  the U.S. and Government Telephone Preference Scheme (GTPS) in the
    U.K.  The proposed attribute for TRIP is based on the NameSpace.Value
    tupple defined for the SIP resource Priority field.

Purpose: 	Response to Liaison Request

Deadline:	None

Title: Response to liaison request from ITU-T Study Group 13 work on=20
emergency telecommunications

This is a response to the liaison request made by Q.3/13 regarding=20
emergency telecommunications (REF: NGN-GSI/DOC =96 60 Rev.2). We would=20
first like to apologize for failing to meet the deadline in responding.=20
We do hope that the late answer still can be of some use.

The liaison request was made to the following working groups (WG):=20
IEPREP, TSVWG, and NSIS. Since the request was sent the IEPREP WG has=20
concluded. In addition to the WGs from which information was requested,=20
we also think that work performed by the DIME, SIP and SIPPING WG may be=20
of relevance.

Pursuant to ITU-T Study Group 13 request for information on relevant and=20
related work in the IETF regarding emergency communications, we list=20
below RFCs and works in progress that we feel may be of interest to your=20
group.  Some of the completed work is Informational, and others are in=20
the category of Standards Track.

Q.3/13 also requested that we keep you informed of any developments in=20
regards to emergency telecommunications. In those regards we would like=20
to make you aware that IETF mailing list participation and document=20
information is free and open to anyone, allowing participants in Q.3/13=20
to keep themselves informed of any developments. If Q.3/13 desire to get=20
further information about specific ongoing work, then please send a=20
liaison request to the responsible WG for those specific documents.

The following list is divided under the associated working groups from=20
which the work has been done within the IETF.


SIP Working Group

RFC 4412

Title:
    Communications Resource Priority for the Session Initiation
    Protocol (SIP)

Abstract:
    This document defines two new Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
    header fields for communicating resource priority, namely,
    "Resource-Priority" and "Accept-Resource-Priority".  The
    "Resource-Priority" header field can influence the behavior of SIP
    user agents (such as telephone gateways and IP telephones) and SIP
    proxies.  It does not directly influence the forwarding behavior of
    IP routers.

	The below two documents are proposed work items accepted to become IETF=20
WG items are likely of interest as they update RFC 4412.

Work In Progress:   draft-polk-sip-rph-in-responses-00

Title:
Allowing SIP Resource Priority Header in SIP Responses

Abstract:
    The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Resource Priority Header
    (RPH), in its current form, is ignored in SIP responses.  This was a
    design choice during RFC 4412's development. This is now considered
    a bad design choice in certain scenarios.  This document corrects
    RFC 4412's communications model by optionally allowing a SIP server
    or user agent client to process the Resource-Priority Header in a
    response.

Work In Progress:   draft-polk-sip-rph-new-namespaces--00

Title:
New Session Initiation Protocol Resource-Priority Header Namespaces for=20
the Defense Information Systems Agency

Abstract:
    This document creates additional Session Initiation Protocol
    Resource-Priority header namespaces, to be IANA registered.  This
    document intends to update RFC 4412, as a Proposed Standard document
    if published by the RFC-Editor.



SIPPING Working Group

RFC 4411

Title:
    Extending the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
    Reason Header for Preemption Events

Abstract:
   This document proposes an IANA Registration extension to the Session
    Initiation Protocol (SIP) Reason Header to be included in a BYE
    Method Request as a result of a session preemption event, either at a
    user agent (UA), or somewhere in the network involving a
    reservation-based protocol such as the Resource ReSerVation Protocol
    (RSVP) or Next Steps in Signaling (NSIS).  This document does not
    attempt to address routers failing in the packet path; instead, it
    addresses a deliberate tear down of a flow between UAs, and informs
    the terminated UA(s) with an indication of what occurred.

IEPREP Working Group

RFC 3487

Title:
    Requirements for Resource Priority Mechanisms for the
    Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)

Abstract:
    This document summarizes requirements for prioritizing access to
    circuit-switched network, end system and proxy resources for
    emergency preparedness communications using the Session Initiation
    Protocol (SIP).

RFC 3689

Title:
    General Requirements for
    Emergency Telecommunication Service (ETS)

Abstract:
    This document presents a list of general requirements in support of
    Emergency Telecommunications Service (ETS).  Solutions to these
    requirements are not presented in this document.  Additional
    requirements pertaining to specific applications, or types of
    applications, are to be specified in separate document(s).

RFC 3690

Title:
    IP Telephony Requirements for
    Emergency Telecommunication Service (ETS)

Abstract:
    This document presents a list of requirements in support of Emergency
    Telecommunications Service (ETS) within the context of IP telephony.
    It is an extension to the general requirements presented in RFC 3689.
    Solutions to these requirements are not presented in this document.

RFC 4190

Title:
    Framework for Supporting Emergency Telecommunications
    Service (ETS) in IP Telephony

Abstract:
    This document presents a framework for supporting authorized,
    emergency-related communication within the context of IP telephony.
    We present a series of objectives that reflect a general view of how
    authorized emergency service, in line with the Emergency
    Telecommunications Service (ETS), should be realized within today's
    IP architecture and service models.  From these objectives, we
    present a corresponding set of protocols and capabilities, which
    provide a more specific set of recommendations regarding existing
    IETF protocols.  Finally, we present two scenarios that act as
    guiding models for the objectives and functions listed in this
    document.  These models, coupled with an example of an existing
    service in the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), contribute
    to a constrained solution space.

RFC 4375

Title:
    Emergency Telecommunications Services (ETS) Requirements
    for a Single Administrative Domain

Abstract:
    This document presents a list of requirements in support of Emergency
    Telecommunications Service (ETS) within a single administrative
    domain.  This document focuses on a specific set of administrative
    constraints and scope.  Solutions to these requirements are not
    presented in this document.


TSV Working Group

RFC 4542

Title:
    Implementing an Emergency Telecommunications Service (ETS)
    for Real-Time Services in the Internet Protocol Suite

Abstract:
    RFCs 3689 and 3690 detail requirements for an Emergency
    Telecommunications Service (ETS), of which an Internet Emergency
    Preparedness Service (IEPS) would be a part.  Some of these types of
    services require call preemption; others require call queuing or
    other mechanisms.  IEPS requires a Call Admission Control (CAC)
    procedure and a Per Hop Behavior (PHB) for the data that meet the
    needs of this architecture.  Such a CAC procedure and PHB is
    appropriate to any service that might use H.323 or SIP to set up
    real-time sessions.  The key requirement is to guarantee an elevated
    probability of call completion to an authorized user in time of
    crisis.

    This document primarily discusses supporting ETS in the context of
    the US Government and NATO, because it focuses on the Multi-Level
    Precedence and Preemption (MLPP) and Government Emergency
    Telecommunication Service (GETS) standards.  The architectures
    described here are applicable beyond these organizations.

Work In Progress:   draft-ietf-tsvwg-emergency-rsvp-03.txt

Title:
    Resource ReSerVation Protovol (RSVP) Extensions for
    Emergency Services

Abstract:
    An Emergency Telecommunications Service (ETS) requires the ability to
    provide an elevated probability of session establishment to an
    authorized user in times of network congestion (typically, during a
    crisis). When supported over the Internet Protocol suite, this may be
    facilitated through a network layer admission control solution, which
    supports prioritized access to resources (e.g., bandwidth). These
    resources may be explicitly set aside for emergency services, or they
    may be shared with other sessions.

   This document specifies RSVP extensions that can be used to support
    such an admission priority capability at the network layer. Note that
    these extensions represent one possible solution component in
    satisfying ETS requirements. Other solution components, or other
    solutions, are outside the scope of this document.

NSIS Working Group

Work In Progress: draft-ietf-nsis-qos-nslp-14.txt

Title:
NSLP for Quality-of-Service Signaling

Abstract:
This specification describes the NSIS Signaling Layer Protocol (NSLP)=20
for signaling QoS reservations in the Internet.  It is in accordance=20
with the framework and requirements developed in NSIS.  Together with=20
GIST, it provides functionality similar to RSVP and extends it.  The QoS=20
NSLP is independent of the underlying QoS specification or architecture=20
and provides support for different reservation models. It is simplified=20
by the elimination of support for multicast flows. This specification=20
explains the overall protocol approach, design decisions made and=20
provides examples.  It specifies object, message  formats and processing=20
rules.

DIME Working Group

Work In Progress: draft-ietf-dime-diameter-qos-01.txt

Title:
   Diameter Quality of Service Application

Abstract:
   This document describes a Diameter application that performs
   Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting for Quality of Service
   (QoS) reservations.  This protocol is used by elements along the path
   of a given application flow to authenticate a reservation request,
   ensure that the reservation is authorized, and to account for
   resources consumed during the lifetime of the application flow.
   Clients that implement the Diameter QoS application contact an
   authorizing entity/application server that is located somewhere in
   the network, allowing for a wide variety of flexible deployment
   models.

Work In Progress: draft-ietf-dime-qos-parameters-00.txt

Title:
   Quality of Service Parameters for Usage with the AAA Framework

Abstract:
   This document defines a number of Quality of Service (QoS) parameters
   that can be reused for conveying QoS information within RADIUS and
   Diameter.

   The payloads used to carry these QoS parameters are opaque for the
   AAA client and the AAA server itself and interpreted by the
   respective Resource Management Function.

Work In Progress: draft-ietf-dime-qos-attributes-01.txt

Title:
   Quality of Service Attributes for Diameter and RADIUS

Abstract:
   This document extends the functionality of the Diameter Base protocol
   and other Diameter applications with respect to their ability to
   convey Quality of Service information.  The AVPs defined in this
   document are also available for Remote Authentication Dial In User
   Service (RADIUS).


Non-WG Documents

	Approved for publication: draft-carlberg-trip-attribute-rp-02.txt

	Title:
	  TRIP Attribute for Resource Priority
=09
Abstract:
    This document defines a new attribute for  the  TRIP  protocol.   The
    attribute   associates   protocols/services   in  the  PSTN  offering
    authorized  prioritization  during  call  setup  that  are  reachable
    through  a TRIP gateway.  Current examples of preferential service in
    the PSTN are Government Emergency Telecommunications  Service  (GETS)
    in  the U.S. and Government Telephone Preference Scheme (GTPS) in the
    U.K.  The proposed attribute for TRIP is based on the NameSpace.Value
    tupple defined for the SIP resource Priority field.

Hello,DIME

I found two errors in the RFC3588 Copyright (C) The Internet Society 
(2003), 
The first one is in page 52 : there are something wrong about AVP length: 
        Of session-Id AVP Header, AVP length should be 42 instead of 50; 
        Of session-Id AVP Header, AVP length should be 39 instead of 51; 
        Of recovery-Policy Header, AVP length should be 215 instead of 
223. 
The second one is an inconsistency between ACA in page 121 and ACA in page 
126: 
        In page 121, there is no any AVP named Route-Record of the command 
ACA,
        but in page 126, there is 0+ AVPs named Route-Record of the 
command ACA.

That's all. Thank you$B!*(B

Hi,

I think I was asked to review the draft-dime-mip6-split I-D. So here we
go.. Hopefully I got it right, as it is getting late here.

-------

General:

 o First impression: The I-D has issues and needs some serious work on
it.

 o About the RFC4285 support. The RFC4285 is Informational, so how was
this
   making a normative reference from a standards track I-D to an
informative
   RFC?

 o There is RFC4285bis coming out. Should the Dime I-D reference to that
   instead of RFC4285?

 o The IKEv2 based authentication talks only about EAP-based
authentication.
   However, mip6-aaa-ha-goals & RFC4877 does not have this restriction.
The
   Dime I-D should also reflect that and allow e.g. certificate based=20
   authentication with IKEv2.

Section 4.

  >One task of the Mobile IPv6 bootstrapping procedure is to assign an
  >appropriate HA to the MN.  Furthermore, authorization and successful

  isn't HA known already at this phase? Finding the HA is more of
  integrated scenario task.

  >delivery of Mobile IPv6 to a MN through a HA, requires the HA to act

  "successful delivery of Mobile IPv6 to a MN through a HA.." is
supposed to
  mean what? I suggest rewriting this sentence.

  >as a client to the Diameter infrastructure interconnecting it to the
  >MSP.  As a Diameter client, the HA needs to perform the following
  >operations:

 =20
Section 5.1

  >application, as defined in [8], is re-used.  AVPs specific to Mobile
  >IPv6 bootstrapping are added to this command.

   How about something like:

   application, as defined in [8], is re-used.  AVPs specific to Mobile
   IPv6 bootstrapping are added to the EAP application commands.

  >As part of the authentication process, the MN MAY request a Home-
  >Address, a Home Prefix or suggests one, see [2], using a CFG_REQUEST

   The reference should be [3]

  >IKEv2 responder may not know if IK Ev2 is used for MIP6 service or
=20
   s/IK Ev2/IKEv2


Section 5.2

   In the figure 3 would it be better to change MN-ID with MN-NAI.
   That is what it eventually tries to say. Also the MN-ID is not
   defined anywhere else than in this figure.

Section 6.

 o as said earlier, this I-D should not restrict the use of IKEv2
   to EAP only (see draft-mip6-aaa-ha-goals and RFC4877). Then we also
need
   support NASREQ commands within the Mobile IPv6 application. I know
there
   is "must" only for EAP but others are not explicitly excluded either

Section 6.1.1

 o For what purpose the MIP6-Feature-Vector is in DER & DEA messages?
   Its use is not explained anywhere?

 o The use of the MIP-Mobile-Node-Address in both DER & DEA messages
   are not explained anywhere. I would expect that at least why it is
   needed in DEA would be explained.

Section 6.2

 o this section and its subsections need a major rework..

 o The current text only talks about using MN-AAA auth option.
   Is there a particular reason to neglect MN-HA auth option
   for BUs?

 o There should be an AVP to distinguish between MN-AAA and
   MN-HA operations towards AAA.

 o For what purpose MIP6-Feature-Vector is needed?
`
 o MIP-MN-AAA-Auth AVP cannot really be used.. as it just points
   byte ranges within the BU. We do not seem to pass the BU from
   HA to AAA in the MRM message.

 o for MN-AAA computation the MRM is missing an AVP to carry a CoA
   to AAA

 o MIP-MN-to-HA-SPI & MIP-HA-to-MN-SPI are only usable for
   MN-HA auth option that this I-D does not support at the moment
   for Bus (btw.. I am not sure whether RFC4285 actually can have
   different SPIs to different directions)

 o We need a generic SPI AVP.. also for MN-AAA authentication

 o for MN-HA authentication we probably need an AVP to return
   the shared key from AAA to HA (well.. the used MIP-HA-to-MN-MSA
   AVP could do but its use should be specified as it is a
   grouped AVP and not all sub-AVPs are needed)

 o MN-AAA authentication probably needs an AVP to carry the
   timestamp from HA to AAA

 o MN-AAA authentication probably needs an AVP to carry the
   authentication data from HA to AAA

 o We probably need an AVP to carry the mobility data or a
   MAC of the mobility data from HA to AAA

 o Use of MIP-Session-Key? I assume it is used to MN-HA calculation
   in a BA as the shared secret.

 o Giving explanations of AVP usage and even RFC4285 compliant
   examples of auth option processing would be most beneficial.
   The RFC4285 has always been somewhat foggy ;)

 o A reference to draft-ietf-mip6-whyauthdataoption would be usefull

 I think it would be beneficial to check what e.g. 3GPP2 did
 for their MIP6 HA-AAA interface. After all, they use RFC4285.


Cheers,
	Jouni

Hi Jouni,

thanks for the review. This is the first part of my response.

We have to apply the Down-Ref procedures described in RFC 3967.

I have checked the changes between RFC 4285 and RFC 4285bis and I would 
agree that it is better to reference the RFC 4285bis.
We need to change that.

That's a good point. This means that we would use only the authorization 
procedure. Is this correct?

This part has to be changed to make it more readable.

I am not sure why we need to support NASREQ even when we add the 
certificate authentication support. We could just omit the 
authentication phase altogether.


I need more time with the rest of your comments. Will respond to them in 
a separate mail.

I think it should be ok.

This comes from the RFC4072 (EAP) section 2.3.3 and the comment
there:

  "The NASREQ application is used here for authorization because the
   realm-specific routing table supports routing based on application,
   not on Diameter commands."

The only text & examples in RFC4072 use NASREQ when Auth-Request-type
is set to AUTHORIZATION_ONLY.

Cheers,
	Jouni

Hi Victor,
        I was just going through the 3588-bis-06 in=20
http://www=2Eietf=2Eorg/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dime-rfc3588bis-06=2Etxt
         The following statement looks bit contradictory=20
2=2E9=2E  Diameter Path Authorization
=2E=2E=2E=2E
=2E=2E=2E=2E
=2E=2E=2E=2E
   Similarly, the local Diameter agent, on receiving a Diameter response
   authorizing a session, MUST check the Route-Record AVPs to make sure
   that the route traversed by the response is acceptable=2E  At each
   step, forwarding of an authorization response is considered evidence
   of a willingness to take on financial risk relative to the session=2E
   A local realm may wish to limit this exposure, for example, by
=20
=20
The RFC says Route-Record AVP can be "0" for all response message except
ACA in section=20
"10=2E1=2E  Base Protocol Command AVP Table"=20
=20
please clear me on this issue=2E

Hi Jouni,

thanks again for your extremely detailed review.

A few more comments below:

> Section 6.1.1
>
>  o For what purpose the MIP6-Feature-Vector is in DER & DEA messages?
>    Its use is not explained anywhere?
>
>   
Currently, the MIP6-Feature-Vector contains the following values:

(a) MOBILITY_CAPABILITY
(b) MIP6_INTEGRATED
(c) LOCAL_HOME_AGENT_ASSIGNMENT

Item (a) is not really required because the AAA server is able to learn 
about the Diameter client's mobility capability from the MIP6 App-ID.
Item (b) is not applicable since this is not the integrated scenario.
This leaves us with item (c). If the AAA client is not in the same 
domain as the AAA server then this could be useful. Right?

>  o The use of the MIP-Mobile-Node-Address in both DER & DEA messages
>    are not explained anywhere. I would expect that at least why it is
>    needed in DEA would be explained.
>   
The MIP-Mobile-Node-Address allows the AAA server to provide the MN's 
HoA to be conveyed to the AAA client.
Does this make sense to you?

> Section 6.2

Ideally, dime-mip6-split should be as close to RFC 4004 with regard to 
the usage of the communication between the HA and the AAA server.
Hence, we should definitely make utilize MIP-MN-AAA-Auth (as defined in 
Section 7.6 of RFC 4004) as it is used in the AA-Mobile-Node-Request 
(AMR) message of RFC 4004.

When you look at Section 6.2.1 of dime-mip6-split then you will find the 
MIP-MN-AAA-Auth AVP.

Hence, I believe things are in place.

>    MN-HA operations towards AAA.
>   

In what sense? What AVPs from RFC 4004 would be needed?

>  o For what purpose MIP6-Feature-Vector is needed?
>   
Do you mean that we should instead use the MIP-Feature-Vector AVP from 
RFC 4004?

> `

This is what RFC 4004 says:

7.6.  MIP-MN-AAA-Auth AVP

   The MN-AAA-Auth AVP (AVP Code 322) is of type Grouped and contains
   some ancillary data to simplify processing of the authentication data
   in the Mobile IPv4 Registration Request [MOBILEIP, MIPCHAL] by the
   target AAA server.  Its value has the following ABNF grammar:

         MIP-MN-AAA-Auth ::= < AVP Header: 322 >
                             { MIP-MN-AAA-SPI }
                             { MIP-Auth-Input-Data-Length }
                             { MIP-Authenticator-Length }
                             { MIP-Authenticator-Offset }
                           * [ AVP ]


I agree with you that we cannot right away use it.

I will investigate what other SDOs did, such as 3GPP2 or Wimax, with 
respect to this issue. I will come back to you on this one.


>  o for MN-AAA computation the MRM is missing an AVP to carry a CoA
>    to AAA
>   
Is this missing in RFC 4004 as well or is this specific to MIPv6 
bootstrapping?

>  o MIP-MN-to-HA-SPI & MIP-HA-to-MN-SPI are only usable for
>    MN-HA auth option that this I-D does not support at the moment

>   
Could you please clarify your comment regarding MIP-MN-to-HA-SPI & 
MIP-HA-to-MN-SPI? I am not sure I understood the problem.

Regarding the SPIs: I believe we should re-use RFC 4004 as much as 
possible to avoid additional implementation complexity on the AAA server 
side.
In RFC 4004 two different SPIs are used.


>  o We need a generic SPI AVP.. also for MN-AAA authentication

Why?

>  o for MN-HA authentication we probably need an AVP to return

>   
I indeed thought that we could use the MIP-HA-to-MN-MSA AVP as is 
(without modifications).

>  o MN-AAA authentication probably needs an AVP to carry the

>   
Why? RFC 4004 only defines one timestamp for accounting (see 
Event-Timestamp AVP).

>  o MN-AAA authentication probably needs an AVP to carry the
>    authentication data from HA to AAA
>   
Which authentication data?

>  o We probably need an AVP to carry the mobility data or a
>    MAC of the mobility data from HA to AAA
>   
I guess this refers to the previously mentioned MIP-MN-AAA-Auth AVP. Right?

>  o Use of MIP-Session-Key? I assume it is used to MN-HA calculation

>   
The MIP-Session-Key AVP is contained in a couple of grouped AVPs. It's 
semantic depends on the grouped AVP it is carried in.

>  o Giving explanations of AVP usage and even RFC4285 compliant

RFC 4285 is, in my opinion, a replica of the corresponding MIPv4 
authentication procedure (regarding the communication from the HA to the 
AAA server).

>  o A reference to draft-ietf-mip6-whyauthdataoption would be usefull

I don't think we need that since this is mostly a job of RFC 
4285/RFC4285bis.

I will do that.

Hi all,

Sorry for jumping in the thread but I fail to understand why we'd need
to
alter a MIPv4 initial retransmission timer due to a certain deployment
model.
If MIPv4 is deployed in such a way that the initial retransmission timer
would
need to be doubled, tripled,... then I'd say it is up to the service
provider
to provide such parameters. This is how 3GPP2 operators have solved it.

Cheers,
Markku=20

Fine. This question was motivated because MIP6-Feature-Vector is
a new AVP to HA-AAA interface but the document does not really
describe anything about it. IHMO there must be some text to describe
its desired use in that interface.

Yes. You should add that also to the document ;)

The way RFC4285 calculates MN-HA and MN-AAA are different.
MN-HA is more or less local with fixed algorithms, except
that you might receive the shared-key from the AAA. On the
other hand you can let AAA do all MN-AAA calculations.. or
divide it between HA and AAA. It should be clarified what AVPs
to use and what to put into those when processing MN-HA or
MN-AAA received from the MN.

Even if we are reusing RFC4004 AVPs we cannot assume that
it is directly clear what to do.

I don't think there's one.

No, I just want a line of text saying for what and how the AAA
expects to use the MIP6-Feature-Vector. We have defined few
values for integrated scenario and explained their use in that
domain. Would be nice to have the same for split scenario aswell.

RFC4004 passes the whole BU message in the AMR to AAA. 3GPP2
passes only those parts of the message that are needed to
for MN-AAA authentication. 3GPP has no clue ;) And WiMAX does
its own thing. All those are deployment dependant. It  might=20
be really hard to come up with a proper HA-AAA interface for
RFC4285 that is actually usable.

RFC4004 passes the whole BU to AAA.. so it finds the CoA etc by
parsing the data. I think this is not the right way ;)

If AAA does MN-AAA authentication it needs CoA and HoA to
verify the authentication data provided by the HA and MN.

Well.. for MN-AAA authentication you would use MIP-MN-AAA-SPI (that is
part of MIP-MN-AAA-Auth grouped AVP. So if you authentication MN using
MN-AAA you don't use MIP-MN-to-HA-SPI etc, right?=20

And the current text in the draft does not difference between
MN-HA and MN-AAA authentications. They would need slightly
different set or way of using AVPs. These should be clarified.

Yes.. my question in parenthesis was something more general related
to RFC4285.=20

Sorry, missed the MIP-MN-AAA-SPI in the MIP-MN-AAA-Auth grouped
AVP. That can be used for MN-AAA.

Within the MIP-HA-to-MN-MSA AVP we don't seem to need MIP-Algorithm-Type
as RFC4285 has a fixed one. Hmm.. maybe we could state that for the
MN-HA authentication the algorithm is always set to HMAC-SHA-1 (2)
within RFC4285 scope.

Some deployments might want to use timestamp as one parameter that
is used by the AAA to derive session keys.

Not really. MIP-MN-AAA-Auth AVP does not provide way to
transfer e.g. calculated MAC mobility data calculated
HA to AAA, if HA wished to do that calculation.

Probably those semantics should be explained.

It is close but not replica.

Ok.
