Hello all,

I recently read over the LCUP document and this text looks very good 
for DIT synchronization.  What I am looking for is some type of "event" 
mechanism to trigger a client to connect/bind and initiate LCUP.  This 
would require the directory server to have knowledge of "who" is 
interested in being notified of DIT updates.  I may have 500,000 
clients for a directory, and I would prefer not to have to have the 
clients poll the server.  If a particular LCUP context is modified, I 
would like some type of async notification sent to interested parties.  
  Most of the work of actually synchronizing the DIT is covered by the 
LCUP document, I just need the clients to be notified "when" to perform 
LCUP. Ideally, the trigger mechanism would be some type of lightweight, 
connectionless notification, similar to an SNMP trap but more specific.

There is activity going on with global, scalable event notification 
architectures that is not specific to any IETF work, and we are looking 
into this.  However, I wanted to make sure I understand the taxonomy of 
any and all work related to solving this type of problem.

If there is work going on in this area in this, or another working 
group, I would appreciate any and all pointers, or other comments.

Thanks in advance,
Randy

How many "interested parties" will there be?  Will the "interested 
parties" actually initiate an LCUP request?

A standard LDAP server is not designed to initiate connections to other 
servers or clients (except in the case of replication, but that is not a 
standard yet, nor would it likely serve your purpose).  Some LDAP 
servers do support callbacks or triggers that usually involve having to 
write your own plugin or some other mechanism.

This sounds like the sort of thing that message bus/queue architectures 
are trying to solve.  You could have an LDAP client that issues an LCUP 
persistent search against an LDAP server, and the client would put a 
message on the bus/queue every time it received an LCUP response.  Other 
clients register with the bus/queue and receive

BTW, for those interested, we are still working on the LCUP 04 draft and 
hope to have something very soon.

Can you provide more information about this work?

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.  Regarding your earlier comments...

I might have 30,000 LDAP clients that want to know if a particular LCUP 
context has changed.  They might "subscribe" to this particular event 
so they get notified.  Notification methods such as that suggested by 
persistent search (and variants) or polling (connect/bind/search) would 
be sub-optimal with this many clients potentially involved. The LCUP 
sync mechanism will work great...I just need a client to be "tapped on 
the shoulder" when it should connect/bind and  issue the LCUP search 
method. The same entity that is notified, will be the same entity that 
issues the special LCUP context search.

At an IETF meeting a couple of years ago I had a discussion about such 
a technique (before I actually had a need for it) during early 
discussions about CLDAP and how this type of scenario could be included 
in the problems addressed by CLDAP.

Your suggestion about a "middleware" entity that maintains a persistent 
LCUP search sounds like it would be a good start,  looking "northbound" 
to the source DIT.  Looking back towards the clients, there would still 
be a need for clients to register their interest, as well as the actual 
lightweight delivery mechanism.

If there had been an extensible "trap/inform" group in the MADMAN MIB, 
then that might be a potential solutions as well.  Not perfect, but a 
step in the right direction. Ultimately, the solution will probably 
involve work going on outside the LDAP WG, again I'm just trying to 
find anyone with a problem domain similar to this.

I don't remember the exact names of the projects regarding event 
notification systems...but if you do a google (or other) search for 
"scalable event notification", this will show you a set of starting 
points that I used for my own research. Most of the recent work has 
been in academia, but I believe there are implementations of these 
systems available, as well as some organizations looking to go 
commercial with similar technology.

Thanks again for the reply,
Randy

Then, will you have 30,000 clients making LCUP search requests at the 
same time, if they are all interested in the same event?

This seems like a perfect application for multicast.  Making 30000 
simultaneous or sequential TCP/IP connections is sub optimal.

If all 30,000 clients have registered interest in the same context, 
then yes it's possible to get 30,000 LCUP request, although it would be 
easy to arrange for these requests to be load-balanced or intelligently 
skewed so they are not simultaneous to one instance of a server. In my 
particular application, only a small fraction would register interest 
in the exact same DIT context, but it would be prudent to design the 
system to handle the worst case loading.

Regarding multicast, you are right, some type of multicast might be 
appropriate. However, my experience with inter-AS (really between 
different service provider networks) multicast has been fraught with 
business issues rather than technical issues, so I'm not sure I can 
rely on multicast being a "generally available" solution to the 
problem.  This may have changed in the last year or so.

Consensus has been established for Proposal Number 1 below. This
interpretation of consensus is based on a review of the WG mailing
list and consideration of the views posted by myself on behalf of
WG members who chose to comment on the issue verbally rather than
post to the list.

This means that the WG has a few ToDos:

1) Establish consensus on a WG Charter Revision covering this change
   in direction and submit to Apps ADs for consideration.

2) Revise all WG I-Ds that are currently expired.

3) Ensure adequate coverage of documents by editors (some folks have
   said they can no longer justify the effort required of a document
   editor; we have had alternate volunteers for most of these documents).

John and I will initiate ToDo-1 by preparing a WG Charter revision
proposal and post to the WG mailing List prior to the start of the
IETF Meeting in San Francisco. We can discuss it during the WG session
as well as on the mailing list.

With respect to ToDo-2:

I expect all document editors to revise or resubmit for publication
their currently expired I-Ds BEFORE the March 3rd deadline. Please
do this even if there are no technical or otherwise substantive changes
to the drafts.

If you are unable or unwilling to do that please notify John and I so
that we're aware of it. If you are one of the editors who volunteered
to take over editing a document for someone else who had to move on,
please make arrangements with the former editor to obtain their most
recent version. Often Google will help you find a captured version of
even an expired I-D as a last resort. If you volunteered, you know who
you are.

ToDo-3 will have to be sorted out by John and I once we have seen
the results of ToDo-2.

Chris Apple and John Strassner

Subject: Proposals for Concluding LDUP



As mentioned in the proposed WG meeting minutes, there
are currently two proposals on the table for concluding
LDUP:

1) A proposal from the co-chairs. Summarized as follows:

A) Publish LCUP spec as Proposed Standard after successful
   passage of a WG Last Call.

B) Publish remaining WG documents as either Informational
   or Experimental after resolving gross inconsistencies and
   explicitly identifying areas where the WG was unable to
   achieve consensus in those documents.

C) Reference X.500 BAC in the General Usage Profile as well
   as the X.500 Administrative Model (perhaps from the drafts
   by Steven L. and Kurt Z., perhaps directly from the X.500
   Recommendations themselves)

D) Reference X.500 BAC and Administrative Model in other WG
   documents as needed.

E) Documents should enter WG Last Call on or before
   the July 2003 IETF Meeting.

F) Conclude LDUP when last document is published as an RFC.

2) A proposal from Mark Wahl. Summarized as follows:

A) Publish LCUP as a Proposed Standard after successful
   passage of WG Last Call.

B) Conclude LDUP once LCUP spec is published as an RFC.

C) Convert all WG documents to individual I-D contributions
   and allow editors to work out consensus (or not) outside
   of the context of a WG.

I have spoke with a number of folks who have opinions about
the pros and cons of either approach.

Please post your views to the list on the pros and cons of
these approaches and indicate which way you are leaning at
this time.

Also please feel free to post your observations about any
inaccuracies in the summaries of the proposals above.

To date, I have heard from one editor of a single document about the
status of their I-D.

Please respond directly to myself and John Strassner with an acknowledgement
of this e-mail and an indication of your intent with respect to meeting
the March 3rd publishing deadline for I-Ds. Its fine to CC: the LDUP list
also, but John and I need to know of your intent so that discussion during
the WG Meeting is relevant and meaningful.

>Subject: Proposals for Concluding LDUP
>
>
>
>As mentioned in the proposed WG meeting minutes, there
>are currently two proposals on the table for concluding
>LDUP:
>
>1) A proposal from the co-chairs. Summarized as follows:
>
>A) Publish LCUP spec as Proposed Standard after successful
>   passage of a WG Last Call.
>
>B) Publish remaining WG documents as either Informational
>   or Experimental after resolving gross inconsistencies and
>   explicitly identifying areas where the WG was unable to
>   achieve consensus in those documents.
>
>C) Reference X.500 BAC in the General Usage Profile as well
>   as the X.500 Administrative Model (perhaps from the drafts
>   by Steven L. and Kurt Z., perhaps directly from the X.500
>   Recommendations themselves)
>
>D) Reference X.500 BAC and Administrative Model in other WG
>   documents as needed.
>
>E) Documents should enter WG Last Call on or before
>   the July 2003 IETF Meeting.
>
>F) Conclude LDUP when last document is published as an RFC.
>
>2) A proposal from Mark Wahl. Summarized as follows:
>
>A) Publish LCUP as a Proposed Standard after successful
>   passage of WG Last Call.
>
>B) Conclude LDUP once LCUP spec is published as an RFC.
>
>C) Convert all WG documents to individual I-D contributions
>   and allow editors to work out consensus (or not) outside
>   of the context of a WG.
>
>I have spoke with a number of folks who have opinions about
>the pros and cons of either approach.
>
>Please post your views to the list on the pros and cons of
>these approaches and indicate which way you are leaning at
>this time.
>
>Also please feel free to post your observations about any
>inaccuracies in the summaries of the proposals above.
