Me again.

Over the last two years Adrian (our esteemed AD) and I had been trying to
wind down the WG. I have intentionally restricted discussions, drafts
or presentations (there were many over the years) which are outside the
charter and tried  to focus only on the two main drafts:
draft-ietf-forces-lfb-lib and draft-ietf-forces-ceha
Those drafts have been beaten to pulp so far; we are moving towards
publication.

The WG has some new kick given the SDN interest (yes, weve
been preaching SDN for a long time now). This is evidenced by attendance
in the meeting in Paris which was quiet large (and the Vancouver
meeting was larger than normal despite conflicts with pwe3 and alto which
would have brought more people to the meeting).
So the new view is to keep the working group open longer if it is deemed
necessary.

The technique for probing interest is to open up the gates ive been guarding.
So if you have new ideas, _as long as they centre around ForCES_,  please
bring them forth. If you are upset at me for holding you back before,
I apologize;
you can have fun now.
Please post discussions, write drafts (make them individual drafts
not WG group drafts) and ask for presentation slots.

Some of the ideas which have been held back off the top of my head:

- SCTP TML/TLS
- newer TMLs
- CECE plane
- Inter LFB (as in LFBs across FEs in service chaining)
- etc.

Some newer ideas:
- ForCES on the northbound SDN interfaces

cheers,
jamal

Me again.

I share the same thinking expressed in Sue's presentation at the meeting.
It does seem like ONF/OF is re-inventing a lot of  the ideas that ForCES has
matured over the years. Remember there were at least 4 variants of things
that claimed to be ForCES that influenced the current architecture and model;
so weve taken care of a lot of use cases over the years.

I am also aware of at least one issue that some OF experts have expressed
in private that ForCES cant do (in regards to modelling parallel LFB flow
where you have a single packet being processed in parallel by multiple
LFB instances). There may be more.

The OF LFBs draft from Evangelos and company demonstrate it is possible to
model OF using the ForCES language.

Is there a way we can extend an olive branch to the ONF folks to have
them use ForCES and given the new approach of allowing new work in,
accommodate any new features they are missing?

cheers,
jamal

Subject: On the OF ForCES comparison

Me again.

I share the same thinking expressed in Sue's presentation at the meeting.
It does seem like ONF/OF is re-inventing a lot of  the ideas that ForCES ha=
s
matured over the years. Remember there were at least 4 variants of things
that claimed to be ForCES that influenced the current architecture and mode=
l;
so weve taken care of a lot of use cases over the years.

I am also aware of at least one issue that some OF experts have expressed
in private that ForCES cant do (in regards to modelling parallel LFB flow
where you have a single packet being processed in parallel by multiple
LFB instances). There may be more.

The OF LFBs draft from Evangelos and company demonstrate it is possible to
model OF using the ForCES language.

Is there a way we can extend an olive branch to the ONF folks to have
them use ForCES and given the new approach of allowing new work in,
accommodate any new features they are missing?

cheers,
jamal

Nothing
[I have comments which i will send you privately when i get to type them in;
and the general feedback in the meeting was some beefing is needed.]

At the moment it is outside the scope of the charter.
If we can generate enough interest for OF kind of activites, it is
possible to make it a WG
doc. Can we get some of the ONF folks offended enough to show up here
at least to
comment?

cheers,
jamal

It really looks like very close from what the Forces working group
have been doing. Can anyone explain why we need to start a new
project?

At a high level, I think there is a different assumption about where the 
control-plane resides. In IRS the forwarding and control planes might be 
co-resident in the router (i.e. not "separated"), and the IRS protocol 
would be a way of extending limited control over routing state to 
external applications.

If I understand ForCES correctly (which is possibly not the case) then I 
imagine it could be used in a similar architecture and/or as a protocol 
layer for IRS. But the first step in the context of IRS is to make a 
problem statement, understand requirements, etc.

Others might have more intelligent comments, which I welcome. :) But 
please let me know if this perspective helps clarify things, and/or if 
I'm missing some ideas that I should understand better, etc.

Cheers,
-Benson

Indeed. Once clarity sets in on the requirements, ForCES may or may not be a
good choice.

Where i feel obligated to respond is to the comment on your first part.
It boxes ForCES into only being useful in a southbound control-datapath
separation.  We've used it to control a bunch of ethernet switches which have
co-resident  control/data plane from the vendor. We've used it to configure
things that are not packet processing entities - consider this presentation
https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/84/slides/slides-84-forces-2.pdf
which illustrates how we model a configuration file (nothing to do with a
datapath functional block) into an LFB and then proceed to query/set
from the CE.

At a high level, I think there is a different assumption about where the=20

In my view:
IRS may provide an API or abstraction that looks like a routing sockets or
netlink_route (refer to section 3.1 and 3.2 of RFC 3549), underneath
the implementation maybe indeed ForCES.

Just the example i posted from the RFC which demonstrates access to a FIB
and nexthop tables. All of that can be delivered with ForCES (given netlink
was an input in ForCES design).
The semantics to a RIB as opposed to a FIB are different.  Example, the
credentials are weaker on the FIB aspects (the "protocol" field in the
route message). But all that is a model issue i.e ForCES is agnostic
of the description.

I know you are a guru in this area - so hoping to get some wisdom.
Sorry for dragging this discussion into this direction.

jamal

Jamal:

Can you give an example of how IRS and Forces might interact via this route
socket? 
Due to the wide background on the lists (irs & forces) , it would be good to
give an example within a switch or router as context.

In my view:
IRS may provide an API or abstraction that looks like a routing sockets or
netlink_route (refer to section 3.1 and 3.2 of RFC 3549), underneath the
implementation maybe indeed ForCES.

I am not quite sure about this. We find the problem statement of IRS as fol=
lows:

<>
   In order to enable applications to have access to and control over
   information in the Internet's routing system, we need a publically
   documented interface specification.  The interface needs to support
   real-time, transaction-based interactions using efficient data models
   and encodings.  Furthermore, the interface must support a variety of
   use cases including those where verified control feed-back loops are
   needed. </>

The way I understand, it's about building flexible/programmable=20
abstractions into Routing Systems - It's not necessary that entire control =
plane is taken away. So I don't see the framework as complete separation=20
of control plane and data plane.

The IRS frame work further highlights Bidirectional Interfaces to the Routi=
ng System.

Thanks,
Pranjal

It really looks like very close from what the Forces working group
have been doing. Can anyone explain why we need to start a new
project?
