Preamble:
As promised here are some comments. I will send this in a series of
emails to make the discussion more manageable.
I have many comments - so lets please move fast so we can shoot
for a new publication.

comments:

1) This is a general comment i made in the previous release.
The change did not make it in properly.

a) Define what is a downstream and upstream LFB means.
While the terms are mostly used (with exception of a few places),
the definition needs to be in place. Put either in beginning of
section 5 or in section 2.

b) Be very precise about the different meanings of LFB port vs
physical port vs virtual interface port etc.
I would suggest you audit the document in full and fix this.

2) Other general comments:
a) please be consistent in the document in your usage of terms.
i) next-hop vs nexthop vs next hop

b) InvalidIPv4SrcAddrCasexxx
I believe there are proper terms for these terms. Can we find
the proper terms and replace these generic terms?
Example appropriate terms are "martian" and "bogon" packets.

c) Section 5 text has improved greatly - general comments
(more specific comments to come later):
i ) In "data handling" sections, often the text mentions a table
but does not mention what is the lookup key or index that is
used to look at this table.

ii) There is a lot of repetion of text between the data handling and
description of the LFBs. The data handling should be describing
things in general and may reference components. The component section
on the other hand should not try so hard to describe the data handling.

Section #2
I know this section comes from a lot of previous text before
the main RFCs came out.
Can someone scan it quickly and see if we can mention RFC5810/1/2
to provide a more modern context?

Chuanhuang: could you give a list of the tables with the index or lookup key 
if any, then I'l add the text to the table description.
Evangelos: if you are also possible to provide some, pls just send me, 
thanks.

Yes, we need to refurbish the text. Whereas, we may have to face the fact 
that the text for data handling and the components are in many cases highly 
cross referred. For data handling, it is very hard to describe things clear 
enough without explaining some components. For some components, it is hard 
to make clear without saying its function to data, which is actually on data 
handling.

Thanks for the quick response Weiming. Here's more
and i will send a lot more on section 5 either later tonight or
tomorrow.

Section #4
a) typo: "TThe FE model [RFC5812] .."
to: "The FE model [RFC5812] .."

b) section 4.3
i  )change:
" The physical port ID that the packet is inputted."
to:
"The ingress physical port that the packet arrived on"

ii ) change
"Indicating the Ethernet type of the Ethernet packet."
to:
"The packet's Ethernet type."

c) Section 4.4

i  ) Evangelos validated this xml against the schema?
ii ) The synopsis could improved on, i didnt go over the whole
thing - but to pick an example on page 35:
"Indicating error type of the packet failed some validation process"
should be:
"Indicating error type of the failed validation process"

and
"Any unrecognized validate error case."
should be:
"Any unrecognized validation error case."

iii) dsylexia in action ;-> "Pakcet" should be "Packet". Please search
the whole document for this typo - which was also there in
version 4!

cheers,
jamal

Greetings Jamal,

Thanks a lot for the comments.

>From a brief scan I had on the documents, we should change the text to this:

   This document follows the terminology defined by the ForCES
   protocol in [RFC5810]and by the ForCES model in [RFC5812].
   The definitions below are repeated for clarity.

since a lot of the definitions do not appear in the early RFCs.

Also we can (and probably should) add the following definitions (which are
used in the lfb-lib document):

   FE Model:  The FE model is designed to model the logical processing
      functions of an FE.  The FE model proposed in this document
      includes three components; the LFB modeling of individual Logical
      Functional Block (LFB model), the logical interconnection between
      LFBs (LFB topology), and the FE-level attributes, including FE
      capabilities.  The FE model provides the basis to define the
      information elements exchanged between the CE and the FE in the
      ForCES protocol [RFC5810].

   Data Path:  A conceptual path taken by packets within the forwarding
      plane inside an FE.  Note that more than one data path can exist
      within an FE.

Also in the model rfc there is the following definition. While we don't use
the terminology of LFB Class Library I think that it is good to have it here
as that is what we're doing.

   LFB Class Library:  The LFB class library is a set of LFB classes
      that has been identified as the most common functions found in
      most FEs and hence should be defined first by the ForCES Working
      Group.

Regards,
Evangelos Haleplidis.

I think maybe add an extra sentence in this section:
"The LFB Class Library is defined by this document."

Thanks for the fast turn-around.

Sorry, the last update was #4 and this is #5.

I am gonna start on section 5 as i have a lot to say there..
So i dont send huge changes - heres on sections covering 5.1.2.
Just ignore the numbering - it is for my own internal tracking.

cheers,
jamal

-----
6) Section #5
i) "already defined an =92FE Protocol LFB=92 which is as a logical entity i=
n"
to:
"already defined an =92FE Protocol LFB=92 which is a logical entity in"

ii) "As specified in Section 3.1, this document focuses the base LFB"
to:
"As specified in Section 3.1, this document focuses ion the base LFB"

7) Section 5.1

i) "As the most popular physical and data link layer protocols, Ethernets
are widely deployed."

to:
"As the most popular physical and data link layer protocols, Ethernet
is widely deployed."

ii) "Note that there exist different versions of Ethernet protocols, like"
to:
 "Note that there exist different versions of Ethernet formats, like"

iii) "a base LFB definition and a start work, the document only defines an"
to:
"a base LFB definition and a starting point, the document only defines an"

8) Section 5.1.1.2
i) typo "adminstratively" - please run a spell checker

ii) The concept of AdminStatus in this LFB is equivalent to
powering off and on the PHY?

iii) "specifies whether the port is linked with an operational connector."
to:
"specifies whether the port link is operationaly up"


9) Section 5.1.1.4
change:
"This LFB is defined to be able to generate several events in which
the CE may be interested."
to:
"Several events are generated"

10) 5.1.2.1
It is odd to have an LFB port with the same name as the LFB.
Could you consider changing the name of "EtherMACIn" LFB port?

ii)"...indicating the physical port ID that the packet comes"
to:
"...indicating the physical port ID that the packet arrived on"

iii) "All Output packets are in Ethernet format, as received
from the physical layer LFB and cover all types of Ethernet packets."
to:
"All Output packets are emmited in the original ethernet format
received at the physical port, unchanged, and cover all types
of ethernet types."
iv) change last paragraph to:
"This LFB participates in ethernet flow control. This is implemented
in cooperation with EtherMACOut LFB. When the EtherMACIn LFB is overwhelmed
(XXX: does this mean there is a queue at EtherMACIn LFB?) it sets the
flow control indicator for the EtherMACOut LFB shared on the physical
port to send out an Ethernet Flow control message to the remote end".
XXX: So what happens when this LFB receives a flow control message?

v) typo "contron" - please run a spell checker.

Chuanhuang, there exist several places with this problem. I also suggest to 
change it. Pls give a detailed note on the changes that you are going to 
make on the relavent XML files and tell me so that I may make the changes in 
the description text section. thanks.

Here's my understanding of the simple case on a host system:
Typically on an ethernet Network Interface - there is DMA buffer (could be
in the simple case be modelled as a queue) per MAC per direction. Modern
interfaces with virtualization etc will have more than one but thats
out of scope
here.
i.e in the simple case there will be one such buffer space for EtherMACIn
and another EtherMACOut per physical port.
Flow control to the other peer is generated when rx side (EtherMACIn)
buffers either are past certain threshold or exhausted etc.

So i think something is missing in the discussion text.
So do we need to define these queues? They should be read only I think
since i dont think they change once the device boots up.

cheers,
jamal

There are two places. I have made a note.
In EtherMACIn LFB:
  Input port "EtherMACIn" -> "EtherPktsIn"
In EtherMACOut LFB:
  Output port "EtherMACOut" -> "EtherPktsOut"

I don't think we need define the queues. The components "TxFlowControl ""RxFlowControl "
are just used for enabling/disabling flow control function. How this function will be implemented is
out of the scope of this LFB. People can use his own implementing way to reach the same result.

Ok, we need to say that then. So the text i sent earlier can be the following
instead.

iv) change last paragraph to:
" This LFB participates in ethernet flow control in cooperation with
EtherMACOut LFB. This document does not go into the details of
how this is implemented; the reader may refer to [someIEEE reference].
This document also does not describe how the buffers which induce the
flow control messages behave - it is assumed that such artifacts exist
and describing them is out of scope in this document".

Repeat similar text EtherMACOut etc.

I am assuming everything else i posted is ok and the authors are
working to update the document. For that reason i will post more
comments.

cheers,
jamal

Authors - please ACK my emails so i know i should send more.
Continuation of comments:


0) Please check doc for consistency. At times you refer to this
LFB as EtherEncapsulator - it should really be EtherEncap.

i) "This LFB abstracts the process to encapsulate IP packets to Ethernet
packets according to the L2 information"
to:
"This LFB abstracts the process of encapsulating ethernet headers
onto received packets. The encapsulation is based on passed metadata."

ii) "The LFB is expected to receive types of IP packets, including IPv4
and IPv6 types"
to:
"The LFB is expected to receive IPv4 and IPv6 packets"

iii) "Optinally an input packet may be accompanied by a Vlan priority
metadata. In this case, default value for the metadata is 0."
to:
"In the case an input packet contains only a Vlan priority field metadata,
a default vlan tag of 0 is assumed"
Question: Dont we already have a Vlan tag of 0 by the time the packet
is passed here? Also, where does this priority vlan field gets set?
I dont recall seeing it being produced at any LFB earlier.

iv)This is one of those general comments I made that we dont say what
the lookup keys are etc:
"Upon a successful table lookup,"
to:
"The EncapTable is looked up using the MediaEncapInfoIndex.
Upon a successful table lookup, ..."

v) Referring to the above - how do i know by looking at the XML
that MediaEncapInfoIndex is the index used for the encaptable?
Should there be at minimal some synopsis description somewhere that
tells me this?

vi) It makes sense to say what the ExceptionID that is passed is
downstream is known as - I am a little confused as to what the text
is referring to.

vii) This text was very confusing:
"The upstream LFB may be programmed by the CE to pass along a
MediaEncapInfoIndex that does not exist in the EncapTable. That is
to allow for resolution of the L2 headers, if needed, to be made at
the L2 encapsulation level in this case(ethernet) via ARP, or ND (or
other methods depending on the link layer technology) when a table
miss occurs."

change to:

"In case of a table miss, i.e.  the MediaEncapInfoIndex does not exist
in the EncapTable, an exception is generated to be used by the
downstream LFBs. This exception could allow for resolution of the L2
headers, if needed, to be made at a downstream LFB via ARP, or ND (or
other methods depending on the link layer technology). Refer to section
blah blah which describes the different techniques ARP could be implemented."

And for that reason, please remove the next paragraph and integrate it
into section 7 - where you should talk about both the CE and inline
ways (as described above) to do ARP/ND.

---

more comments after i get ACKs to these two emails.

When the original packet had a VLAN tag, the VlanID would be zero or non-zero. If VlanID 
was zero, the VlanPriority would be non-zero. 
When the packet hadn't VLAN tag, the output metadatas VlanID and VlanPriority should all be zero.

There are some indications in the text. I also think hey are obscure and need some modification:
 EtherDispatchTable: "An EtherDispatchTable array component is defined in the LFB to
   dispatch every Ethernet packet to the output group according to the
   logical port ID assigned by the VLANInputTable to the packet and the
   Ethernet type in the Ethernet packet header."
VLANInputTable: "Every input packet is assigned with a new LogicalPortID according to the packet
   incoming port ID and the VLAN ID. "

I have one question about the key. Do we need define the key in the LFB XML file?
The following is my understanding:
If the table contents are generated by CE, key need not be defined. 
If they are generated by FE , they need be defined in some cases.

In RFC5812:
   In addition to their subscripts, arrays MAY be declared to have
   content keys.  Such a declaration has several effects:

   o  Any declared key can be used in the ForCES protocol to select a
      component for operations (for details, see the ForCES protocol
      [RFC5810]).

   o  In any instance of the array, each declared key MUST be unique
      within that instance.  That is, no two components of an array may
      have the same values on all the fields that make up a key.

So i think the key definition in XML is just for CE to implement search function.
And when the table is dispathed by CE, CE needn't perform the search operation 
on FE.

Yours,
Chuanhuang

As said in previous email, Vlan priority was produced at EtherClassifier, if 
there is priority.
If the Input metadata VlanPriority is non-zero, the packet will have a VLAN tag, 
whatever the value of VlanID is(zero or non-zero). If VlanPriority and the VlanID 
are all zero, there is no VLAN tag to this packet.

There is some indication in Data Handling section:
"The LFB always expects from upstream
   LFBs the MediaEncapInfoIndex metadata which is used as an index to
   lookup the Encapsulation Table."

>v) Referring to the above - how do i know by looking at the XML

In current XML definition, all tables havn't the key or index informations in
the synopsis. Do we need explain these things clearly in XML?

>vi) It makes sense to say what the ExceptionID that is passed is
>downstream is known as - I am a little confused as to what the text

Do you mean we need list the ExceptionID value in the text? It was defined 
in XML.

I think thats what i am saying as well in the text above.

We need to be clear. No need to be too chatty - just get to the point. The =
text
has to be somehow formal. "For table blah, the table is searched using
metaIndexfoo".
The more obscure this information is and requiring the user to lookup somew=
here
else to find information, the longer the process of publication will take.
It has to be clear to the reader.

I dont see anything that requires a content key - all seem to require
subscripts.
The only thing that requires such a thing is the LPM; i believe we need
to define a content key. Search RFC5812 for keyID.

That may make sense - but sounds inconsistent.
Arent you always passing this metadata? If you want to keep that way
fine with me - i did not see it that way when i read the text.

That is true - but you dont explain the success vs failure path.
You seem to be talking about the success path. You should be
explicit (i.e "Upon successful lookup ... and in case of failure ..").

>>v) Referring to the above - how do i know by looking at the XML

I think we need to. I shouldnt have to scratch my head to find out.

Just enough to be consistent with the other sections where you describe
the exceptions.

This one is short.

---
15) Section 5.1.5.1
i) Is editorial note now resolved after the discussion in the meeting?

ii) As per earlier discussion on EtherMACIn case, please fix
text on flow control on this LFB.

16) Section 5.1.5.2
Please remove the unnecessary chatty sentence which adds confusion
"Whereas, these properties are set by CE only when a system runs, which
are outside the XML definitions of this LFB."
-----

I will send a lot more later as you keep ACKing me.

cheers,

Weiming,
Since you responded, here's more ...
Slighly longer than last one ...

---
17)Section 5.2.1.1
i) "This LFB performs IPv4 validation according to RFC 1812. Then the
IPv4 packet will be output to the corresponding port regarding of the
validation result, whether the packet is a unicast or a multicast
one, an exception has occurred or the validation failed."

to:
"This LFB performs IPv4 validation according to RFC 1812. The
IPv4 packet will be output to the corresponding LFB port the
indication whether the packet is unicast, multicast
or whether an exception has occurred or the validation failed."

ii) The paragraph that starts with:
"Note that, as a default provision of RFC 5812, .."
I dont think belongs in this section. It is a generic description;
probably belongs in earlier sections such as the area where the terms
downstream/upstream are being introduced.

iii) "Four output ports are defined to output various validation results."
to:
"Four output LFB ports are defined."

iv) Delete the unnecessary sentence that reads:
"There is no metadata specifically required to produce at these
output ports."

v) Should the first 3 exceptions really not be errors?
I can understand Router Alert being an exception

vi) "Note that, although TTL is checked in this LFB for validity,
operations to TTL like TTL decreasing will be made only in a followed
forwarding LFB."
to:
"Note that, although TTL is checked in this LFB for validity,
operations like TTL decrement are made the downstream forwarding LFB."


vii) "A validate error ID is associated to every failed packet to indicate
the reason."
to:
"An  error ID is associated a packet to indicate the failure reason."

viii)
"Packet with source address equal to 255.255.255.255"
was earlier listed as an exception and now is listed as an error.
I think it should be an error and not at the exception level.

17)Section 5.2.2
RFC 2460 seems to have been entered as text instead of an xml tag.
I know this because it doesnt exist in the reference section.
If it was the xml2rfc tool would have caught the missing reference.
Please check the text for such errors.

18) Section 5.2.2.1.
i) "output ports to output packets for various validation results."
to:
"output ports to emit packets with various validation results."

ii) "There is no metadata specifically required to produce at
at these output ports.  "
to:
"There is no metadata produced at this LFB"

iii) Again - some of the exceptions appear to be errors. Please
double check. When you fix them please make sure you fix the
xml as well...

Usually, if the packet is regarded as error, it will be dropped directly. But if it is execption, 
it need a further process.
All the execptions defined in IPv4Validator:
   o  Packet with destination address equal to 255.255.255.255
This is a limited broadcast packet. In some cases, router need process it.
   o  Packet with expired TTL
We can't say this is an error case, the packet need further process, such as generating 
ICMP.
   o  Packet with header length more than 5 words
If IP header has "Options" , the header length will be more than 5
words.
   o  Packet IP head including Router Alert options
This is an important option. Exactly,  it is the especial case with "header length more than 5 words".

"Packet with source address equal to 255.255.255.255" is an error. 
In execption, the 255.255.255.255 is destination address.

Currently, in EtherEncap, the input metadata "VlanPriority" was defined "optional".
If the orginal packet hadn't Vlan tag (That is no vlan priority input), The VlanPriority defaultValue was 0.
In the draft:
" Optinally an input packet may be accompanied by a Vlan priority metadata.  In this case, default value
   for the metadata is 0."

Hi Chuanhuang,

Please add either the justification you gave me below or make a
reference to a document that defines these as errors or exceptions
(Example RFC 1812).

It is up to you how you want to reach this - my take on it is:
functionally assuming presence of both tag and priority is easier to follow=
.
Sometimes one or both could be zero.

22)5.3.1.
typo - there are two "." in the first sentence.

23) 5.3.1
"...packet as index to look up the IPv4 prefix table and generate a hop
selector as the matching result. This result will associate to the
packet as a metadatum to output to downstream LFBs, and will usually
be used there as an index to find more next hop information."
to:
"...packet as content key to look up the IPv4 prefix table and generate
a hop selector as the matching result. The hop selector is passed as
packet metadatum to downstream LFBs, and will usually
be used there as an index to find more next hop information."

24) 5.3.1.2
typo: "adrress"

25)5.3.1.2
"..LFB uses the destination IPv4 address of every input packet as index
to look up this table to get a hop selector as the result."
to:
"..LFB uses the destination IPv4 address of every input packet as the
content key to look up this table in order extract a next hop selector."

25) 5.3.2.1.
"..appropriate output port from the LFB."
to:
"..appropriate LFB output port."
26) 5.3.2.1.
"involves the forwarding TTL decrement and checksum recalculation."
Technically, could the checksum be deffered and computed in another
LFB? It doesnt have to be done here ...

27)5.3.2.1.
"Two output ports are defined to output results."
to:
"Two output ports are defined."

28)5.3.2.1.
"The packet is sent to a downstream LFB alongside with the L3PortID
and MediaEncapInfoIndex metadata."
I think it would be useful to mention where these metadata were received
from.

29)5.3.2.1.
"ICMP packet needs to be generated"
Could you summarize why ICMP packets need to be generated?

cheers,
jamal

Your proposed:

In this section, the terminology of an upstream LFB or a downstream LFB 
may be used. When describing a current LFB, an upstream LFB refers to an 
LFB which is connected to current LFB via data paths and output data 
packets to current LFB. A downstream LFB refers to an LFB which is 
connected to current LFB via data paths and receives data packets output 
from current LFB.

May I suggest:
In this section, the terms "upstream LFB" and "downstream LFB" are used. 
  These are used relative to an LFB to an LFB that is being described. 
An "upstream LFB" is one whose output ports are connected to input ports 
of the LFB under consideration such that output (typically packets with 
metadata) can be sent from the "upstream LFB" to the LFB under 
consideration.  Similarly, a "downstream LFB" whose input ports are 
connected to output ports of the LFB under consideration such that the 
LFB under consideration can send information to the "downstream LFB". 
Note that in some rare topologies, an LFB may be both upstream and 
downstream relative to another LFB.

Yours,
Joel

Ok, more comments:

------
30) 5.3.2.2
instead of "neighboring LFB" could you use the term
"downstream LFB" - this applies all over the rest of the document.

31)
"MediaEncapInfoIndex, the index we pass onto the neighboring LFB
instance. This index is used to lookup a table (typically media
encapsulatation related) further downstream. The CE sets it to a
value that is not allocated in downstream LFB tables. (If a
downstream LFB lookup fails to find it, it indicates some other
way to resolve it may be needed.)"
to:
"MediaEncapInfoIndex, the index we pass onto the downstream LFB
instance. This index is used to lookup a table (typically media
encapsulatation related) further downstream.
In some cases, depending on implementation, the CE may set the
MediaEncapInfoIndex passed downstream to a value that will fail
lookup when it gets to to a target LFB; such a lookup failure is
an indication that further resolution is needed. For an example of
this approach refer to section XXX which talks about ARP .."
32) 5.3.3.1
"This LFB performs the IPv6 unicast LPM table looking up. It always
expects as input IPv6 unicast packets from one singleton input known
as "PktsIn". Then the LFB uses the destination IPv6 address of every
packet as index to look up the IPv6 prefix table and generate a hop
selector as the matching result. This result will associate to the
packet as a metadatum to output to downstream LFBs, and will usually
be used there as an index to find more next hop information."
to:
"This LFB performs the IPv6 unicast LPM table look up. It always
expects as input IPv6 unicast packets from one singleton input known
as "PktsIn". The destination IPv6 address of an incoming packet
is used as content key to look up the IPv6 prefix table and generate a hop
selector. This generated result is associated to the
packet as a metadatum sent to downstream LFBs, and will usually
be used in those LFBs as an index to find more next hop information."

XXX: What happens on failure of lookup?
33)
"Three singleton output ports are defined to output LPM results.  "
to:
"Three singleton output ports are defined.  "

34)
"The first singleton output known as "NormalOut", which will output
IPv6 unicast packets that has passed the LPM lookup and got a hop
selector as the lookup result. The hop selector is associated with
the packet as a metadatum. Followed the normal output of the LPM LFB
is usually a next hop application LFB, like an IPv6NextHop LFB."
to:
"The first singleton output known as "NormalOut" outputs
IPv6 unicast packets that succeed the LPM lookup (and got a hop
selector). The hop selector is associated with
the packet as a metadatum. Downstream from the LPM LFB
is usually a next hop application LFB, like an IPv6NextHop LFB."

35)
"A default route flag is defined in the LPM table to enable the LFB to
support a default route, and loose RPF also. When set true, the
table entry is identified a default route and as a forbidden route
for RPF also. "
to:
"A default route flag is defined in the LPM table to enable the LFB to
support a default routeas well as loose RPF. When this falg is set true,
the table entry is identified a default route which also implies
that the route is forbidden for RPF. "
36)
"The IPv6PrefixTable component is defined as an array component of the
LFB. Each row of the array contains an IPv6 adrress, a Prefix
length, a Hop Selector, an ECMP flag and a Default Route flag. The
LFB uses the destination IPv6 address of every input packet as index
to look up this table to get a hop selector as the result. The ECMP
flag is for the LFB to support ECMP. The default route flag is for
the LFB to support a default route and for loose RPF."
to:
"The IPv6PrefixTable component is defined as an array component of the
LFB. Each row of the array contains an IPv6 address, a Prefix
length, a Hop Selector, an ECMP flag and a Default Route flag.
The ECMP flag is so the LFB can support ECMP. The default route flag is for
the LFB to support a default route and for loose RPF as described earlier."

Note: there was a typo in the original text "adrress"

Note:
This LFB serves again as a good example of what i was concerned about
earlier.  You should describe operations in the data handling section.
The components section should only talk about components details.

cheers,
jamal

I still have a few comments, but we are getting close:

----------
37) 5.3.4.1
"Two output ports are defined to output results."
to:
"Two output LFB ports are defined."

38) 5.3.4.1
"ICMP packet needs to be generated"
Just like before, i think it would be valuable at least to
state what these ICMP packets are or quote some relevant RFC and say
"as described in RFC blah"

39)5.3.4.1
"For example, there are Ethernet and other
tunnel Encapsulation, then BasicMetadataDispatch can use the L3PortID
metadata to dispatch packets to different Encapsulator."
to:
"For example, when the downstream LFB is BasicMetadataDispatch,
and there exist Ethernet and other tunnel Encapsulation downstream
from BasicMetadataDispatch, then the BasicMetadataDispatch LFB can use
the L3PortID metadata to dispatch packets to the different Encapsulator
LFBs."

40) 5.3.4.1 MediaEncapInfoIndex

"The CE sets it to a
value that is not allocated in downstream LFB tables. (If a
downstream LFB lookup fails to find it, it indicates some other
way to resolve it may be needed.)"

to:
"In some cases, depending on implementation, the CE may set the
MediaEncapInfoIndex passed downstream to a value that will fail
lookup when it gets to a target encapsulation LFB; such a lookup
failure at that point is an indication that further resolution
is needed. For a discussion on how such an approach could be used
refer to section XXX which describes the IPv4NextHop LFB."

41)  5.4.1.1
"RedirectIn LFB is defined with only one output, while without any
input."
to:
"RedirectIn LFB is defined with a single output LFB port (and no input LFB
port"

XXX: should that be "output LFB port group"? Later on you seem to
indicate that =92RedirectIndex=92 is used to select output LFB port.
42) 5.4.1.1
"The CE may associate some metadata to indicate the frame types and may
also associate other metadata to indicate various information on the
packets."

I think that first "may" should be "must".

43)  5.4.1.1
"All metadata from the CE other than the =92RedirectIndex=92 metadata will
output from the RedirectIn LFB along with their binding packets."

to:
"Any other metadata, in addition to =92RedirectIndex=92, will be passed unt=
ouched
along the packet delivered by the CE."

44)5.4.2.1
"the RedirectOut LFB is defined with only one input,
while without any output."
to:
"RedirectOut LFB is defined with a single input LFB port (and no output LFB
port"

45)5.4.2.1 technical question
dont we have something equivalent to =92RedirectIndex=92 that the CE
can use to deduce source LFBs etc for the purpose of maybe multiplexing
when it receives the redirected packet?
--------

cheers,
jamal

Generally, i think packet output from Nexthop should be IP encapsulated. 
 TTL decrement and IP checksum recalculation are the operation in IP header. 
I suggest changing "checksum recalculation" to "IP checksum recalculation" .

MediaEncapInfoIndex will be used in media encapsulation LFB, such as EtherEncap.
If there are more than one media encapsulation LFBs(for example, EtherEncap, 
L2/TunnelEncap), BasicMetadataDispatch will use L3PortID to dispatch packet to 
different encapsulation LFBs.

>> 29)5.3.2.1.
>> "ICMP packet needs to be generated"
>> Could you summarize why ICMP packets need to be generated?
The main reason is there are no routes at all (including no default route) for the packet.
I suggest modifying this execption to "There are no routes for the packet" directly.

Hi, all
    I list all index/key used in looking up the tables defined in LFBs. Text can be modified selectively.

EtherClassifier:
 EtherDispatchTable, Key: LogicalPortID, this key is generated from VlanInputTable.
 VlanInputTable, Key:IncomingPortID.
 EtherClassifyStats, CE use index to query.

IPv4UcastLPM:
  IPv4PrefixTable, Key: IPv4Address.

IPv6UcastLPM:
  IPv6PrefixTable, Key: IPv6Address.

IPv4NextHop:
  IPv4NextHopTable, using index to look up, the index value is the value of expected metadata HopSelector. 

IPv6NextHop:
  IPv6NextHopTable, using index to  look up, the index value is the value of expected metadata HopSelector.  

EtherEncapsulator:
  EncapTable, using index to  look up, the index value is the value of expected metadata MediaEncapInfoIndex.

GenericScheduler:
  CurrentQueueDepth, Key: QueueID.

BasicMetadataDispatch :
  MetadataDispatchTable: MetadataID and MetadataValue. 	

Yours,
Chuanhuang

About this issue, as i have commented in the previous email, i think the 
draft content is no problem. But it need specify where "VlanPriority" metadata 
is produced and consumed both in EtherClassifier and EtherEncap. It also need 
point out emphatically this metadata is "optional". When there is no VLAN tag 
in the orginal packet, EtherClassifier will not produce it, and EtherEncap will not 
expect it.

Yours,
Chuanhuang

Thats fine - but doesnt answer my question, which is: whether the checksum

maybe just leave the text unchanged.

You already have similar text in the last paragraph of that section.
I was talking about where metadata was created not where it is to be consum=
ed.
In retrospect, dont bother adding text above - I think the text will
be slightly harder
to read as it stands, but we can live with it.

Ok - thats useful to add.

Hi Chuanhuang,

Please also dont forget to comb the text and make sure that in the
data handling section we describe what happens when the table
lookup succeeds and when it fails. I still have some confusion
with your text, more below:

I think those two should be "index" not "key" as we use the term "key" to m=

content key in the document.

Which index?

Above two looks ok.

What about:
"incoming metadata HopSelector is used as the lookup index for this table".

> IPv6NextHop:
> =A0IPv6NextHopTable, using index to =A0look up, the index value is the va=
lue of expected metadata HopSelector.

Same comment as above.

 expected metadata MediaEncapInfoIndex.


Same comment as above.

> GenericScheduler:

Again, not key but index - Are you implying two indices?
Be explicit - which is the index used to lookup?

> BasicMetadataDispatch :
> =A0MetadataDispatchTable: MetadataID and MetadataValue.

Do you mean to have two indices? i.e is it MetadataID or
MetadataValue that is used as lookup index?

cheers,
jamal

Chuanhuang,

Ok - makes more sense. But the text leaves this question dangling.
Can you suggest some text to add to clarify this issue?

Hello,

I am going to throttle a little bit until we reach conclusion on the outstanding
issues with Chuanhuang.
Here is my last comment on section 5.

----
46)5.5.1.1.

What is the index used to do the table lookup?
What happens on failure?
I am begining to wonder whether we should have sections describing
what metadata each LFB expects, what it consumes and what it creates
for consumption further downstream.

"...along with a metadata that will be used by
the LFB to do the dispatch. If a packet is not associated with such
a metadata, the packet will be dropped inside the LFB."

What is the name of this metadata?

change to:
"...along with metadata metadataname that will be used by
the LFB to do the dispatch. If an arriving packet has no metadataname
associated with it, the packet is dropped by the LFB"

47) 5.5.1.1.
"A packet, if it is associated with a
metadata with the metadata ID, will be output to the group port
instance with the index corresponding to the metadata value in the
Metadata Dispatch table."

to:
" The associated metadataname is used as an index to look up the
Metadata Dispatch table. On a successful match, the lookup
result defines an LFB port to a downstream LFB. On a failure
to look up the Metadata Dispatch table, the packet is dropped."
48) 5.5.1.1.
I did not understand this:
"Currently the BasicMetadataDispatch only
allows an interger value for the metadata to be used for dispatch."
Also did not understand:
"The BasicMetadataDispatch LFB is currently defined with only one
metadata adopted for dispatch, i.e., the metadata ID in the dispatch
table is always the same for all table rows."

Is there only one entry in this table?

49) 5.5.1.2.
typo "selectt"

50) 5.5.2.1.
".. with every input port instance connected to one queue"
to:
".. with every input LFB port instance connected to one queue"

51) 5.5.2.1.
I understand that each input LFB port instance is connected to one queue
but there are no examples of what the upstream LFB could be anywhere
in the document. Or downstream for that matter. Figure1 doesnt
show schedulers - could we have 2-3 sentences describing examples?

51) 5.5.2.1.
Dont wanna spend too much time on this, RR is fine - but isnt
priority based queueing the scheme defined as a basic scheduler?
In the case of IPV4 Tos/DSCP etc (RFC 1812?) is used to select the queue.

52) 5.5.2.3.
"The supported scheduling disciplines types by the FE, currently
maximum 6."

Where did the magic number 6 come from?

cheers,
jamal

Basically, I agree with Chuanhuang.

One of the reasons for including certain metadata items we have included
was specifically so that any processing, including the CE, could trace
back as much as it needed.  I have assumed that there was enough for the
CE to figure out all error cases.  I would not add a generic metadatum,
as I don't think we know how it would be filled in.  But if there is a
case where we are missing some information, we should add that.

Yours,
Joel

It seems sufficient - we just need to improve the text in the
draft so we have clarity. I suspect because puzzled me, it will
be harder for other people.

Yes, a good general rule.  If any of the folks who should know the stuff 
well are puzzled, then clarification is needed, since other folks are 
extremely likely to be puzzled.

I brought this concern in version 4 of the draft and i got agreement
to fix it. I am worried there are other things of the same nature.
Please make sure you update everything we agree on so we dont have
the same discussions again.
VlanInputTableEntryType defines VLANID as 32bit.
We need to typedef the VLANID appropriately.

cheers,
jamal

These text appears in NextHop, so the metadata was produced in this LFB. Do you mean we 
need a more explicit description ? 
Weiming will modify these text.

Chuanhuang,  this document is meant to be semi-formal. It is not
as precise as mathematical clarity - but we need to be clear.
If someone is reading this document, they should be able to tell
_exactly_ what it is that is used as the index.
The format should be as simple as we had earlier:
IPv4PrefixTable, Key: IPv4Address.
Can you explain the above in those terms?

What is the name of this index?

please be precise as i described above

How is this achieved? I can not tell from reading the text for data handlin=
g
in the document. Maybe i am being a little slow.

As an example, a packet could be redirected by the FE to the CE because the
EtherEncap LFB is not able to resolve L2 information. The metadata
"ExceptionID",
created by the EtherEncap LFB is passed along with the packet and should be
sufficient for the CE to do the necessary processing and resolve the
L2 entry required.

I am going to try and wrap this up with a few more comments.
To reduce the amount of text posted, I wont post what the
original text looked like - i hope this is fine with the authors.

----
54) Section 7

Rewrite to:

This section demonstrates examples on how the LFB classes defined by
the Base LFB library in Section 6 can be applied to achieve some typical
router functions. The functions demonstrated are:

o IPv4 forwarding

o ARP processing

It is assumed the LFB topology on the FE described has already been
established by the CE and maps to the use cases illustrated in this
section.

The use cases demonstrated in this section are mere examples
and by no means should be treated as the only way
one would construct router functionality from LFBs; based
on the capability of the FE(s), a CE should be able to express
different NE applications.

A bit long - but much easier to write it this way instead of 20 small comments:

----

Figure 1 (Section 3.2.3) shows a typical IPv4 forwarding processing
path by use of the base LFB classes.

A number of EtherPHYCop LFB(section XXX) instances are used to describe
physical layer functions of the ports. PHYPortID metadatum is
generated by EtherPHYCop LFB and is used by all the subsequent
downstream LFBs.  An EtherMACIn LFB(section XXX), which describe
the MAC layer processing, follows every EtherPHYCop LFB.
The EtherMACIn LFB may do a locality check of MAC addresses if
the CE configures the appropriate EtherMACIn LFB component.

Ethernet packets out of the EtherMACIn LFB are sent to an
EtherClassifier LFB (section XXX) to be decapsulated and classified
into network layer types like IPv4, IPv6, ARP, etc. In the example
use case, every physical Ethernet interface is associated with one Classifier
instance; although not illustrated, it is also feasible that all
physical interfaces are associated with only one Ethernet Classifier
instance.

EtherClassifier uses the PHYPortID metadatum, the Ethernet type of the
input packet, and VlanID (if present in the input Ethernet packets), to
decide the packet network layer type and the LFB output port to the
downstream LFB. The EtherClassifier LFB also assigns a new logical port
ID metadata to the packet for later use. The EtherClassifier
may also generate some new metadata for every
packet like EtherType, SrcMAC, DstMAC, LogicPortID, etc for consumption
by downstream LFBs.

If a packet is classified as an IPv4 packet, it is sent downstream to an
IPv4Validator LFB(section XXX) to validate the IPv4 packet. In the
validator LFB, IPv4 packets are validated and are additionally
classified into either IPv4 unicast packets and multicast packets.
IPv4 unicast packets are sent to downstream to the IPv4UcastLPM
LFB(section XXX).

The IPv4UcastLPM LFB is where the longest prefix match decision is made,
and a next hop selection is selected. The nexthop ID metadata is
generated by the IPv4UcastLPM LFB to be consumed downstream
by the IPv4NextHop LFB(section XXX).

The IPv4NextHop LFB uses the nexthop ID metadata to do derive
where the packet is to go next and the media encapsulation type for
the port, etc. The IPv4NextHop LFB generates the L3PortID metadata
used to identify a next hop output physical/logical port.
In the example use case, the next hop output port is an Ethernet type;
as a result, the packet and its L3 port ID metadatum are sent downstream
to an EtherEncap LFB(section XXX).

The EtherEncap LFB encapsulates the incoming packet into an Ethernet frame.
A BasicMetadataDispatch LFB (section XXX) follows the EtherEncap LFB.

The BasicMetadataDispatch LFB is where packets are finally dispatched to
different output physical/logical ports abased on the L3PortID metadatum
sent to the LFB.

Another long one - similar in spirit to earlier one

-----
56) Section 7.2

Figure 2 shows the processing path for ARP protocol in the case the
CE implements the ARP processing function. By no means is this
the only way ARP processing could be achieved; as an example
ARP processing could happen at the FE - but that discussion is out
of scope for this use case.

There are two ways ARP processing could be triggered in the CE
as illustrated in figure 2:

o ARP packets arriving from outside of the NE
o IPV4 packets failing to resolve within the FE

ARP packets from network interfaces are filtered out by EtherClassifier
LFB. The classified ARP packets and associated metadata are then sent
downstream to the RedirectOut LFB(section XXX) to be transported to CE.

The EtherEncap LFB, as described earlier, receives packets that
need Ethernet L2 encapsulating. When the EtherEncap LFB fails
to find the necessary L2 Ethernet information to encapsulate
the packet with, it outputs the packet to its ExceptionOut
LFB port. Downstream to EtherEncap LFB's ExceptionOut LFB port is
the RedirectOut LFB which transports the packet to the CE (see
Section XXX for details).

To achieve its goal, the CE needs to generate ARP request and
response packets and send them to external (to the NE) networks.
ARP request and response packets from the CE are redirected to an
FE via a RedirectIn LFB(section XXX).

As was the case with forwarded IPv4 packets, outgoing ARP packets are also
encapsulated to Ethernet format by the EtherEncap LFB, and then
dispatched to different interfaces via a BasicMetadataDispatch LFB.
The BasicMetadataDispatch LFB dispatches the packets according to
the L3PortID metadatum included in every ARP packet sent from CE.

Chuanhuang, your description sounds accurate.  The "index" is the 
position in the array, usable with the index reference form.  It is not 
a field in the array contents.  In contrast,
array entry information which can be used for lookups is key information.

Yours,
Joel

Hi Chuanhuang,

structure.

Indeed this is the index i was referring to, and as Joel said your understa=
nding
is correct. It is not part of the row content rather it is a position
of where the
content is.

1) The CE knows such an index because it created it or it queried the FE
about it; and can coordinate upstream LFBs to have it as an entry in their
table content, example: LogicalPortID in  upstream EtherDispatchTable
of EtherClassifier LFB.

2) LogicalPortID arrives as metadata at a downstream LFB where is
to be used to index/lookup some (downstream) table.

I am concerned about #2. The text is highly lacking to describe what
metadata is used as an index for the table.
We need to say it clearly in the text for each table.
something like: "Metadata LogicalPortID is used as table index for table bl=
ah".
The text for example does a good job to describe that
IPv4Address is used as the content key for the IPv4PrefixTable.

i.e the extra description  would be of the form:
"Table Foo: Table index, goo metadata"

Does this make sense?

On the difference between keys and indices in our terminology:
A key is derived from content and the CE has no control over its value
(IPV4 address
on arriving packet). Table index is configured by the CE.
Index lookup is typical O(1). Content Key lookup is  much more expensive.

cheers,
jamal

We have defined an execption: "Packets can not find any routes in the prefix table."  These 
packets will go out from "ExceptionOut" LFB port. The same as IPv4UcastLPM LFB. Please see
Data Handling section.

Yes, we need add another item, similar to NextHop,

 o  MediaEncapInfoIndex value is not allocated in the EncapTable.
 o  The packet failed lookup of the EncapTable table even though the MediaEncapInfoIndex is valid.

These remind me of that we maybe need add an "ExceptionOut" LFB port in EtherClassfier.
Now, EtherClassfier only defined an output port: ClassifyOut,  group output
If we can't classfy the packet , owing to some reasons, How the packets will be processed?

Joel, what's your opinion?

Yours,
Chuanhuang

I suppose that the correct answer is a noMatchingClassification output 
port.  Which will usually point nowhere, but which some devices could 
point to the path to the CE.

Yours,
Joel
