Hello Steve,

Thanks for the proposal.
I still think the text is a bit misleading:

"The calculated LOAD value MUST reflect the sending Diameter nodes=20
capacity relative to the maximum available capacity for the sending=20
Diameter node."

I think it should be:
"The calculated LOAD value MUST reflect the sending Diameter node=20
capacity relative to the maximum available capacity for a sending=20
Diameter node."

Reasoning: a node may have a very limited maximum capacity, but the key poi=
nt is precisely to provide a LOAD value relative to the maximum value A nod=
e may have.=20

I hope this clarifies
Thanks
/MCruz

SRD> This wording could imply that the LOAD value carries load=20
information for multiple Diameter nodes.  How about the following:

"The calculated LOAD value MUST reflect the sending Diameter nodes=20
capacity relative to the maximum available capacity for the sending=20
Diameter node."

The following errata report has been submitted for RFC6733,
"Diameter Base Protocol".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=6733&eid=4803

--------------------------------------
Type: Editorial
Reported by: Holger Freyther <holger+ietf@freyther.de>

Section: 3.2

Original Text
-------------
   Example-Request ::= < Diameter Header: 9999999, REQ, PXY >
                       { User-Name }
                    1* { Origin-Host }
                     * [ AVP ]



Corrected Text
--------------
   <Example-Request> ::= < Diameter-Header: 9999999, REQ, PXY >
                       { User-Name }
                    1* { Origin-Host }
                     * [ AVP ]



Notes
-----
I converted the BNF into a PetitParser parser in Smalltalk/Pharo and noticed that example and grammar do not match. The first issue is with the example following the grammar but most definitions do not follow the BNF so maybe it is best to update the BNF. 

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

But "Diameter-Header:" is not used throughout the text so maybe it is better to update the grammar to "Diameter Header:".


 command-def      = "<" command-name ">" "::=" diameter-message

but the example is not using <> for the command-name ("Example-Request"). For the grouped-avp-def application is sometimes used with "<" name ">" and sometimes just name.

Instructions:
-------------
This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please
use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or
rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party (IESG)
can log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary.

Folks,

chairs had a short exchange of thought and concluded that we do not need to
meet in IETF97. Instead we try to progress everything on the mailing list
and offline.

The growing pile of action point chairs have on their table are:
* draft-ietf-dime-agent-overload-06 -> proto write-up
* 3GPP LS -> finalize and send
* draft-ietf-dime-doic-rate-control-03 -> new quick WGLC#2
* draft-ietf-dime-load-02 -> new revision (Steve) and then WGLC#2

Folks,

I updated the draft LS based on the input. See below and comment.

- Jouni

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The IETF DIME WG thanks the 3GPP SA5 WG for their LS and query regarding the
IETF RFC 4006 (https://datatracker.ietf.org/liaison/1470/).

The IETF DIME WG has discussed both options raised in the LS from 3GPP SA5:
1) Is IETF RFC 4006 planned to be updated in order to rely on IETF RFC 6733
   as the new Diameter Base protocol?
2) If not, are there any recommendations from IETF on how to address the
   implicit reference to IETF RFC 3588 as Diameter Base Protocol for 3GPP
   SA5 Diameter Online charging through use of IETF RFC 4006?

and the decision was made to update of the IETF RFC 4006 as per the
option 1). The aim of this update is to align the Diameter Credit-Control
application specification with the IETF RFC 6733, fix existing known issues
in the current specification and comply with the recommendations given in
the IETF RFC 7423 on the design of Diameter application. The time line for
the completion of the RFC 4006 update is set to November 2017.

As a reminder, the IETF RFC 6733 does not define a new Diameter base
protocol
but is a new version of the specification defining the Diameter base
protocol.
The IETF RFC 3588 is obsoleted by the IETF RFC 6733, as defined in the IETF
RFC 2223:

   Obsoleted-by

      To be used to refer to the newer document(s) that replaces the
      older document.

In the present case, any document using the IETF RFC 3588 as reference for
the Diameter base protocol should be updated to refer to the new IETF RFC
6733. Therefore, as a general guideline, the IETF DIME WG recommends 3GPP
WGs to follow this recommendation in their specifications when applicable.
The same recommendation will apply for the revision of the IETF RFC 4006
when published by the IETF as for any new RFC obsoleting an old RFC.

Maria Cruz,

I think we are saying the same thing.  My original has an unfortunate 
typo and should have read as follows:

"The calculated LOAD value MUST reflect the sending Diameter node's 
capacity relative to the maximum available capacity for the sending 
Diameter node."

In thinking about this, the word sending might also not be clear 
enough.  We might want to use the reporting node instead.  This would 
change it to the following:

"The calculated LOAD value MUST reflect the reporting Diameter node's 
capacity relative to the maximum available capacity for the reporting 
Diameter node."

Regards,

Steve

Hello Steve,

Thanks for the clarification
I still think the last part of the sentence is misleading: "... relative to=
 the maximum available capacity for the reporting Diameter node ".

It should be "... relative to the maximum available capacity for a reportin=
g Diameter node".

The reasoning is that it should be relative to the maximum capacity not of =
that particular reporting node, but any of the nodes. That is, if we use SR=
V to provide the load value, the maximum load is 65535, but a particular no=
de may just have a maximum capacity of e.g. 4000. Then the load value of th=
is reporting node should be relative not to 4000 but to 65535, and it shoul=
d be done the same for all nodes, in a way that the load is then comparable=
 by the reacting node.
Is my point clearer now?
The NOTE you wrote clarified that point in fact.

Best regards
/MCruz

Actually, looking at it again, I think the following wording is needed:

"The calculated LOAD value MUST reflect the reporting Diameter node's 
capacity relative to the maximum available capacity for the set of 
Diameter nodes that are potential receiving nodes for the future 
messages covered by the LOAD report."

We probably need some words on what the set of Diameter nodes comprises, 
as it is different for HOST reports and PEER reports.

Does this work?

That is, if we use SRV to provide the load value, the maximum load is 65535, but a particular node may just have a maximum capacity of e.g. 4000. Then the load value of this reporting node should be relative not to 4000 but to 65535, and it should be done the same for all nodes, in a way that the load is then comparable by the reacting node.

Hello Steve,

See proposal:

"The calculated LOAD value MUST reflect the reporting Diameter node's capac=
ity relative to the maximum capacity for a Diameter node in the group of no=
des the messages are load balanced".

I removed "available" because it may be misinterpreted as "available at a m=
oment in time", what is not right, it is just the maximum capacity it is of=
fered, it can be reached.
"for a Diameter node": in order to indicate that it is the maximum capacity=
 of "any" of the Diameter nodes, what a Diameter node is normally offering.=
=20
But we can limit that to the group of nodes that are receivers of messages,=
 i.e. the load-balancing group.

Does it make sense to you?
Thanks Steve

Actually, looking at it again, I think the following wording is needed:

"The calculated LOAD value MUST reflect the reporting Diameter node's capac=
ity relative to the maximum available capacity for the set of Diameter node=
s that are potential receiving nodes for the future messages covered by the=
 LOAD report."

We probably need some words on what the set of Diameter nodes comprises, as=
 it is different for HOST reports and PEER reports.

Does this work?

&gt; &gt; I updated the draft LS based on the input. See below and comment.=
<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; - Jouni<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; ------------------------------<wbr>------------------------------=
<wbr>----------<br>
&gt; &gt; --------- The IETF DIME WG thanks the 3GPP SA5 WG for their LS an=
d<br>
&gt; &gt; query regarding the IETF RFC 4006<br>
&gt; &gt; (<a href=3D"https://datatracker.ietf.org/liaison/1470/" rel=3D"no=
referrer" target=3D"_blank">https://datatracker.ietf.org/<wbr>liaison/1470/=
</a>).<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; The IETF DIME WG has discussed both options raised in the LS from=
 3GPP SA5:<br>
&gt; &gt; 1) Is IETF RFC 4006 planned to be updated in order to rely on IET=
F RFC 6733<br>
&gt; &gt;=C2=A0 =C2=A0 as the new Diameter Base protocol?<br>
&gt; &gt; 2) If not, are there any recommendations from IETF on how to addr=
ess the<br>
&gt; &gt;=C2=A0 =C2=A0 implicit reference to IETF RFC 3588 as Diameter Base=
 Protocol for 3GPP<br>
&gt; &gt;=C2=A0 =C2=A0 SA5 Diameter Online charging through use of IETF RFC=
 4006?<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; and the decision was made to update of the IETF RFC 4006 as per t=
he<br>
&gt; &gt; option 1). The aim of this update is to align the Diameter<br>
&gt; &gt; Credit-Control application specification with the IETF RFC 6733, =
fix<br>
&gt; &gt; existing known issues in the current specification and comply wit=
h the<br>
&gt; &gt; recommendations given in the IETF RFC 7423 on the design of Diame=
ter<br>
&gt; &gt; application. The time line for the completion of the RFC 4006 upd=
ate is set to<br>
&gt; November 2017.<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; As a reminder, the IETF RFC 6733 does not define a new Diameter b=
ase<br>
&gt; &gt; protocol but is a new version of the specification defining the D=
iameter base<br>
&gt; protocol.<br>
&gt; &gt; The IETF RFC 3588 is obsoleted by the IETF RFC 6733, as defined i=
n the<br>
&gt; &gt; IETF RFC 2223:<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt;=C2=A0 =C2=A0 Obsoleted-by<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt;=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0To be used to refer to the newer docume=
nt(s) that replaces the<br>
&gt; &gt;=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0older document.<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; In the present case, any document using the IETF RFC 3588 as refe=
rence<br>
&gt; &gt; for the Diameter base protocol should be updated to refer to the =
new<br>
&gt; &gt; IETF RFC 6733. Therefore, as a general guideline, the IETF DIME W=
G<br>
&gt; &gt; recommends 3GPP WGs to follow this recommendation in their specif=
ications<br>
&gt; when applicable.<br>
&gt; &gt; The same recommendation will apply for the revision of the IETF R=
FC<br>
&gt; &gt; 4006 when published by the IETF as for any new RFC obsoleting an =
old RFC.<br>

Hi,

I was wondering if we could simplify in a way that would be understandable =
for anyone outside the current discussion.

Is something missing in the following text?

"The calculated LOAD value MUST indicate the relative capacity of a Diamete=
r node to process or forward subsequent request messages. The method for de=
termining the total available capacity is outside of the scope of this docu=
ment.

NOTE: When the reporting node is not a server, the LOAD value reflects not =
only the capacity of the reporting node but also the total capacity of the =
Diameter nodes to which requests can be forwarded."

[LM] if it is only for information, we can just remove them. If someone ide=
ntifies important aspects that need to be kept, it would mean that the body=
 is not self-consistent. If we keep it, we will have to ensure that the con=
tent is correct, even if informative, as the appendix is reviewed during IE=
TF LC as any other part of the document and it would be painful to trigger =
useless discussions on a pure informative part.

Hello Lionel,

We need to clarify "relative to what". This is the part we are rephrasing.

Anyway, I will keep NOTE by Steve:

Note: The LOAD value should be calculated in a way that reflects the
 available load independently of the weight of each
server.  This allows the Diameter node that routes a request, including
nodes doing server selection and agents routing
requests, to accurately compare values from different nodes.  Any
specific LOAD value needs to identify  the same
amount of available capacity, regardless the Diameter node that
calculates the value.
The mechanism used to calculate the LOAD value that fulfils this
requirement is an implementation decision.


Cheers
/MCruz

Hi,

I was wondering if we could simplify in a way that would be understandable =
for anyone outside the current discussion.

Is something missing in the following text?

"The calculated LOAD value MUST indicate the relative capacity of a Diamete=
r node to process or forward subsequent request messages. The method for de=
termining the total available capacity is outside of the scope of this docu=
ment.

NOTE: When the reporting node is not a server, the LOAD value reflects not =
only the capacity of the reporting node but also the total capacity of the =
Diameter nodes to which requests can be forwarded."

Purpose: In response

Referenced liaison: LS to IETF for clarification on RFC 4006 for Diameter Base Protocol (https://datatracker.ietf.org/liaison/1470/)

Body: The IETF DIME WG thanks the 3GPP SA5 WG for their LS and query regarding the IETF RFC 4006 (https://datatracker.ietf.org/liaison/1470/).

The IETF DIME WG has discussed both options raised in the LS from 3GPP SA5:

1) Is IETF RFC 4006 planned to be updated in order to rely on IETF RFC 6733 as the new Diameter Base protocol?

2) If not, are there any recommendations from IETF on how to address the implicit reference to IETF RFC 3588 as Diameter Base Protocol for 3GPP SA5 Diameter Online charging through use of IETF RFC 4006?   

and the decision was made to update of the IETF RFC 4006 as per the option 1). 

The aim of this update is to:
- align the Diameter Credit-Control application specification with the IETF RFC 6733,
- fix existing known issues in the current specification,
- comply with the recommendations given in the IETF RFC 7423 on the design of Diameter application. 

The time line for the completion of the RFC 4006 update is set to November 2017.

As a reminder, the IETF RFC 6733 does not define a new Diameter base protocol but is a new version of the specification defining the Diameter base protocol. The IETF RFC 3588 is obsoleted by the IETF RFC 6733, as defined in the IETF
RFC 2223:

   Obsoleted-by

      To be used to refer to the newer document(s) that replaces the
      older document.

In the present case, any document using the IETF RFC 3588 as reference for the Diameter base protocol should be updated to refer to the new IETF RFC 6733. Therefore, as a general guideline, the IETF DIME WG recommends 3GPP WGs to follow this recommendation in their specifications when applicable.
The same recommendation will apply for the revision of the IETF RFC 4006 when published by the IETF as for any new RFC obsoleting an old RFC.

Hi Maria Cruz,

"Relative" could also be simply understood as the fact that it is not an ab=
solute value but a value defined in comparison of arbitrary values fixing a=
 finite range ("0-65535"). At least it is how I have interpreted so far.

And I thought that the remaining point was on how to calculate to determine=
 this value.
I think that the clarification could be that this value reflects either the=
 capacity of the reporting node (when processing the request and generating=
 the answer e.g. server) or its forwarding capacity (when acting as an rela=
y/proxy). And the forwarding case obviously depends on the upstream load ca=
pacity.

And this this what I have tried to summarize in:

"The calculated LOAD value MUST indicate the relative capacity of a Diamete=
r node to process or forward subsequent request messages. The method for de=
termining the total available capacity is outside of the scope of this docu=
ment.

NOTE: When the reporting node is not a server, the LOAD value reflects not =
only the capacity of the reporting node but also the total capacity of the =
Diameter nodes to which requests can be forwarded."

I'm not okay with the note.  It should also just be the capacity of the 
agent in that specific case.

The following errata report has been submitted for RFC6733,
"Diameter Base Protocol".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=6733&eid=4808

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Zbigniew Rapnicki <zbigniew.rapnicki@computaris.com>

Section: 1.1.3

Original Text
-------------
This document obsoletes RFC 3588 but is fully backward compatible
   with that document.

Corrected Text
--------------
This document obsoletes RFC 3588.

Notes
-----
When comparing the BNF for the answer messages CEA, DPA, DWA, RAA, STA and ASA it can be seen that FAILED-AVP avp is no longer marked with the * which means it can be present only once in the diameter message.
Previous specification (rfc3588) defines multiple FAILED-AVP avp usage in a single diameter message.
Similar case is for Vendor-Specific-Application-Id AVP definition. 
Previous specification allows multiple usage of Vendor-Id avp in a single message while the new specification defines it as a single mandatory AVP:
rfc3588:
<Vendor-Specific-Application-Id> ::= < AVP Header: 260 >
                                     1* [ Vendor-Id ]
                                     0*1{ Auth-Application-Id }
                                     0*1{ Acct-Application-Id }

rfc6733:
<Vendor-Specific-Application-Id> ::= < AVP Header: 260 >
                                           { Vendor-Id }
                                           [ Auth-Application-Id ]
                                           [ Acct-Application-Id ]
										   
How this facts applies to the sentence about fully backward compatibility in the section 1.1.3?

Hello all,

The importance of the "relative" value is not only to provide a value in a =
range from 0-65535, but that this value is coordinated with the different n=
odes among which the request could be load-balanced.
The 0-65535 could identify a capacity value for a single Diameter node, but=
 if it does not take into account rest of nodes it will be useless.
As we explained, for an small node, its maximum of capacity (i.e. 65535) co=
uld mean a very little capacity compared to a "big" server, even when that =
server indicates an e.g. low capacity value (e.g. 1000).=20
Then, it is key to explain that, and it was what we agreed to include in th=
e doc.

Then, my proposal would be the following:

"The calculated LOAD value MUST reflect the reporting Diameter=20
node's capacity relative to the maximum capacity of a Diameter node=20
in the group of nodes the messages are load balanced.

Note: The LOAD value should be calculated in a way that reflects the =20
available load independently of the weight of each server.  This=20
allows the Diameter node that routes a request, including nodes doing=20
server selection and agents routing requests, to accurately compare=20
values from different nodes.  Any specific LOAD value needs to=20
identify  the same amount of available capacity, regardless the Diameter no=
de that calculates the value.

The mechanism used to calculate the LOAD value that fulfils this  requireme=
nt is an implementation decision."

I hope this could get agreeable.
Best regards
/MCruz

Hi Maria Cruz,

"Relative" could also be simply understood as the fact that it is not an ab=
solute value but a value defined in comparison of arbitrary values fixing a=
 finite range ("0-65535"). At least it is how I have interpreted so far.

And I thought that the remaining point was on how to calculate to determine=
 this value.
I think that the clarification could be that this value reflects either the=
 capacity of the reporting node (when processing the request and generating=
 the answer e.g. server) or its forwarding capacity (when acting as an rela=
y/proxy). And the forwarding case obviously depends on the upstream load ca=
pacity.

And this this what I have tried to summarize in:

"The calculated LOAD value MUST indicate the relative capacity of a Diamete=
r node to process or forward subsequent request messages. The method for de=
termining the total available capacity is outside of the scope of this docu=
ment.

NOTE: When the reporting node is not a server, the LOAD value reflects not =
only the capacity of the reporting node but also the total capacity of the =
Diameter nodes to which requests can be forwarded."

Maria Cruz,

I'm mostly okay with your proposal.  My concern is that all nodes in the 
group of Diameter nodes need to express their load using the maximum 
capacity of the SAME node in the group.  Your wording implies that 
individual nodes in the group could choose different nodes maximum 
capacity in its calculations.

I also think it works if the maximum total capacity of the group is used.

One other option would be to base this on transactions per second rather 
than capacity.  It might be late to consider this, but we could base it 
on the TPS a node is currently able to handle.  The primary issue with 
this approach is that not all transactions consume the same resources.

Assuming we don't want to switch over to TPS, I propose the following 
modification of Maria Cruz's wording:

"The calculated LOAD value MUST reflect the reporting Diameter
node's capacity relative to the maximum capacity of a Diameter node
in the group of nodes the messages are load balanced.  All nodes
in the group MUST use the same nodes maximum capacity when
calculating it's own LOAD value.

  Note: The LOAD value should be calculated in a way that reflects the
available load independently of the weight of each server.  This
allows the Diameter node that routes a request, including nodes doing
server selection and agents routing requests, to accurately compare
values from different nodes.  Any specific LOAD value needs to
identify  the same amount of available capacity, regardless the Diameter node that calculates the value."


Regards,

Steve

Hi,

I have to admit that I'm lost. Maybe not the last time.
And I really have some doubts that people reading the proposed text will be=
 able to understand something.

First of all, it is not only about "loadbalance". You may have a single age=
nt in front of a single server and the load value reported by the agent nee=
ds to reflect the capacity to process incoming requests as well as the agen=
t capacity to forward the requests towards the server. And the last one dep=
ends on the server capacity. If there is more than one server, the "forward=
ing capacity" depends on the whole capacity of the server farm.
Is the above summary correct? Is there something missing?

Now, I don't understand the following assertion: "all nodes in the group of=
 Diameter nodes need to express their load using the maximum capacity of th=
e SAME node in the group."
Could you please clarify?

regards,

Lionel

Hello,

I think we could simplify a bit the text, and keep what I think is key:

"The LOAD value should be calculated in a way that reflects the available l=
oad independently of the weight of each server, in order to accurately comp=
are LOAD values from different nodes. Any specific LOAD value needs to iden=
tify  the same amount of available capacity, regardless the Diameter node t=
hat calculates the value."

I think this cover our concerns.=20
And add the following sentence:

"The mechanism used to calculate the LOAD value that fulfils this  requirem=
ent is an implementation decision."

Let me know your views
Best regards
/MCruz

Subject: RE: [Dime] Proposed resolutions of LOAD discussion

Hi,

I have to admit that I'm lost. Maybe not the last time.
And I really have some doubts that people reading the proposed text will be=
 able to understand something.

First of all, it is not only about "loadbalance". You may have a single age=
nt in front of a single server and the load value reported by the agent nee=
ds to reflect the capacity to process incoming requests as well as the agen=
t capacity to forward the requests towards the server. And the last one dep=
ends on the server capacity. If there is more than one server, the "forward=
ing capacity" depends on the whole capacity of the server farm.
Is the above summary correct? Is there something missing?

Now, I don't understand the following assertion: "all nodes in the group of=
 Diameter nodes need to express their load using the maximum capacity of th=
e SAME node in the group."
Could you please clarify?

regards,

Lionel

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 of the IETF.

        Title           : Diameter Load Information Conveyance
        Authors         : Ben Campbell
                          Steve Donovan
                          Jean-Jacques Trottin
	Filename        : draft-ietf-dime-load-03.txt
	Pages           : 22
	Date            : 2016-09-27

Abstract:
   This document defines a mechanism for conveying of Diameter load
   information.  [RFC7068] describes requirements for Overload Control
   in Diameter.  This includes a requirement to allow Diameter nodes to
   send "load" information, even when the node is not overloaded.  The
   Diameter Overload Information Conveyance (DOIC) [RFC7683] solution
   describes a mechanism meeting most of the requirements, but does not
   currently include the ability to send load information.

All,

I have made Maria Cruz's suggested change and have posted a new version 
of the draft.  I believe this has all of the changes we have talked about.
