How a network LSA is stored depends on your TED data structures, but
typically, it will connect all nodes on a multi-access link -- and
yes, it is only used for multi-access links.

Completely up to you.

I've corrected the month and the amount of time requested for the MANET

we don't have every minute in the 2 hour slot allocated.

Don't you mean November 10?  Also, is there a new version
of the draft-mirtorabi-ospf-tunnel-adjacency-xx.txt?  Current
version is 00 and I (and others) had made comments several
months ago.

I haven't seen any update but I believe the authors are presenting it as

Hi Acee,

You might remember an email that I sent out a few weeks ago regarding
draft-vasseur-mpls-ospf-te-cap-00.txt. Actually I presented it at the last
OSPF WG meeting in Vienna. Would you mind confirming that this draft goes
to the OSPF WG ?

Thanks.

JP.

  I might not attend Minneapolis IETF. Here are some
  concerns.

-> >Advertising a Router's Local Addresses in     10 Mins
-> Rahul Aggrawal
-> >OSPF TE Extension
-> >draft-raggarwa-ospf-te-node-addr-00.txt

  The above draft reads:

     OSPFv2 stub links in the router LSA [OSPFv2],
     provide stub reachability information to the router but
     are not sufficient to learn all the local addresses of
     a router.

  Aren't we duplicating the information in Router LSA and
  TE LSA ? We can use passive interface capability to flood
  this desired information using Router LSA.

  In other words, why is Router LSA stub info not *sufficient*
  to learn all local addresses (if we enable active/passive
  OSPF routing over all those interfaces) ?

All,

 Please consider the following topology:

        +---+    |    +---+
        |RUT|----|----|TR1|
        +---+    |    +---+
             Network 0

Part C: The RUT transitions to BDR

 10. Unplug the RUT=92s interface on network 0.
 11. Reset OSPF.
 12. Plug the RUT=92s interface back in on network 0 (TR1 should still
     list RUT as BDR).
 13. Observe the traffic transmitted on the network.

Observable Results:

 In Part C, The RUT should wait for about 40 seconds before it
 begins to claim itself to be the BDR on network 0.



 I wonder whether the result expected by the test are correct, since
the crucial part of it, the remark made within the parentheses in step 12,
cannot happen. Originally, TR1 and RUT are adjacent as DR and BDR
respectively. When RUT is unplugged, reset (in OSPF context), and plugged
again, it multicasts Hello listing no neighbors. TR1 notices loss of bi-
directional communication with RUT and reelects itself as DR leaving the
position of BDR vacant, while listing RUT as neighbor in the next outgoing
Hello. RUT receives that Hello, establishes bi-directional communication
with TR1 (as it sees itself in the list), and discerns that TR1 claims
itself DR with no fellow BDR. Naturally, RUT reacts with the event
BackupSeen, running DR/BDR election ending up in the position of BDR. The
entire procedure lasts from 1 to 20 seconds, which is below
RouterDeadInterval (40 seconds) delimiting Waiting state, in contrary to
the results expected by the test.

Thanks,
Igor

As per RFC, When the Interface comes up Hello Timer is
started.("Interface UP" event).
=20
That implies the HELLO packet will be sent by RUT 10 seconds after the
Interface came up.=20

Therefore, when RUT comes up it can receive HELLO packet from TR1 before
it sends it's own HELLO packet. This HELLO PACKET sent by TR1 will till
say that BDR is "RUT"( because the change hasn't been detected by TR1
till now).

Now, at RUT no "Backupseen" event will be triggered and hence Wait timer
need to expire and it will take 40 seconds for RUT to declare itself as
BDR.

Vivek

Vivek,

Even if TR1 receives RUT's first Hello delayed by 10 seconds, it still
notices that RUT is no longer declaring itself as BDR, thus raising
NeighborChange event. The latter results in DR/BDR reelection and the next
TR1's Hello (another HelloInterval-delay, at most) will indicate lack of
BDR. Upon receiving TR1's Hello, RUT still will raise BackupSeen. Again, 20
seconds from RUT's comeback elapse, at most.

Thanks you,
Igor

BackupSeen event will still not be raised, because on TR1 when Neighbor
Change event occurs, DR election will still lead to election of RUT as
BDR and TR1 as DR. So, the Hello packet sent by TR1 will not contain any
change and hence no BACKUP SEEN event on RUT.

Regards,
Vivek

Vivek,

Even if TR1 receives RUT's first Hello delayed by 10 seconds, it still
notices that RUT is no longer declaring itself as BDR, thus raising
NeighborChange event. The latter results in DR/BDR reelection and the
next
TR1's Hello (another HelloInterval-delay, at most) will indicate lack of
BDR. Upon receiving TR1's Hello, RUT still will raise BackupSeen. Again,
20
seconds from RUT's comeback elapse, at most.

Thanks you,
Igor

mention immediate launch of Hello with InterfaceUp.
Please help to make up my mind.

Hi,

Though I am have not really followed the thread.

For the question you raise either ways is ok. Though sending it immediately
helps in faster convergence.

I was referring with regards to conformance.
However, otherwise sending the HELLO packet at the InterfaceUp event
leads to faster convergence. It is a kind of optimization.

Vivek

Group,

I am confused:

On one hand Vivek insists the first Hello should not be issued before
HelloInterval elapses, on the other hand
John

-3&P=3D

mention immediate launch of Hello with InterfaceUp.
Please help to make up my mind.

Thanks,
Igor

In any case, I don't think the RUT  should take RouterDeadInterval
seconds to get
the BackupSeen event and leave Wait state. I would think that once TR1
receives a
hello from RUT, it  will generate a NeigbborChange event and RUT will no
longer
be listed as BDR in TR1's helllos. This, in turn, will result in a
BackupSeen event (since
the TR1's BDR hello field is 0.0.0.0) on RUT and will cancel the WAIT
timer.

Regarding test suites, you should always take the specification as the
final word. At
one point, I informed a very reputable test vendor (which will remain
unnamed) that
their OSPF database exchange test script was incorrect. Their response
was that I
didn't have a valid service contract - of course I wasn't WG co-chair at
that time :^).

BackupSeen event will not be raised, because on TR1 when Neighbor
Change event occurs, DR election will lead to election of "RUT" as
BDR and "TR1" as DR. So, the Hello packet sent by TR1 will still contain

"RUT" as TR1 and hence no BACKUP SEEN event on RUT will be triggered.

Vivek

In any case, I don't think the RUT  should take RouterDeadInterval
seconds to get
the BackupSeen event and leave Wait state. I would think that once TR1
receives a
hello from RUT, it  will generate a NeigbborChange event and RUT will no
longer
be listed as BDR in TR1's helllos. This, in turn, will result in a
BackupSeen event (since
the TR1's BDR hello field is 0.0.0.0) on RUT and will cancel the WAIT
timer.

Regarding test suites, you should always take the specification as the
final word. At
one point, I informed a very reputable test vendor (which will remain
unnamed) that
their OSPF database exchange test script was incorrect. Their response
was that I
didn't have a valid service contract - of course I wasn't WG co-chair at
that time :^).

You are right for the case where RUT receives a hello from TR1 prior to
sending its first hello.
In the case where RUT sends a hello immediately upon the interface
coming up, the DR
election will not result in RUT being elected BDR  since TR1 will not
have bi-directionaly
connectivity with RUT. If TR1 sends a hello with 0.0.0.0 as the BDR
prior to
receiving a hello from RUT with  TR1 listed  as an atttached router,
RUT will get
the BackupSeen event.

In retrospect, it seems it would have made sense for  the BackupSeen
event to include
the case where a router advertises your Router-ID as BDR.

Guys,

        I agree, but the bottom line.

        Do we have anybody on this mail alias who is part of the
        Univ of New Hampshire (UNH) OSPF test group AND believes
        that discussions like this warrant changes in their OSPF
        tests?

        And should each UNH test "be well documented to explain"
        the expected behaviour of a RUT.

Group,

Suppose a router receives Router Links with MaxAge from an adjacent
neighbor. Should it lose the adjacency with that neighbor?

Thanks,

Hi Igor,

I guess you mean MaxAged Router LSA when you say "Router Links with MaxAge".

No, an adjacency does not need to be broken with the neighbor. The SPF will
take care of the case and exclude the routers LSA's from its routing table
calculation.

Thanks,
Vishwas

Following up on this thread, I have the following concerns with this
document:

1. Tunnels are used both intra and inter domains. Thus tunnel
capabilities have to be propagated across domains as well. Hence IGP is
imho not appropriate for this application.

2. Tunnel capabilities are not used by core routeres.

3. There are existing documents that specify the use of BGP for this:
draft-raggarwa-ppvpn-tunnel-encap-sig-01.txt
draft-nalawade-kapoor-tunnel-safi-01.txt

Hence imho OSPF WG should not take on this work.

Thanks,
rahul

Hi Rahul,

Thanks for your comments.

Not always. There are tunnels which are purely intra-domain as well.

The above BGP solutions can be used only in BGP networks. There are
BGP-free networks that require tunneling Capabilities as well and we
are receiving requests from those customers to provide a complementary
solution that does not rely on BGP being present.

Also - for the 2 specific drafts mentioned above, BGP uses the routes
learnt through an IGP to resolve the nexthop to BGP prefixes. But in
the presence of tunnels, this reachability is not sufficient and the
reachability via the tunnels has to be propagated as well. The BGP
solution has been created purely for the inter-Provider case where there
is no inter-AS mechanism other than BGP to propagate that. But within
a given network, when the tunnels are required only within an AS or domain,
the IGP provides the reachability to the Tunnel end-point and hence is the
right place to carry the tunnel reachability information as well.

> Hence imho OSPF WG should not take on this work.

Hence I believe that the IGP is the right place to carry the above and
IMHO, the OSPF WG should take on this work.

Thanks,
Gargi

As we are announcing specific router capabilities, it therefore infers
that only certain routers in the network are capable of some specific
capabilities. If all routers in a network have the same capability,
there is then no need for specific announcement.

Thanks,

 Any MTU issues especially when there are large

Here's the question I asked at the mic today:

2328 limits the configuration of the VLs so that they can only transit
through non-backbone areas and always belong to the backbone. Among
other things this prevents "recursive" VLs, i.e., VLs relying on other
VLs.

The draft relaxes this and suggests that the TA can belong to any area
and can transit any area. This opens up a possibility for TA1 that
belongs to area A1 to transit area A2 that has TA2. This means that
it could be possible for packets to be encapsulated more than once.
It seems it could also be possible to have recursive TA resolution,
e.g. in the case above, TA2 transiting area A1.

Seems that this needs to be given more thought.

P.S. Padma also pointed out the possibility for excessive SPF
     calculation, but I'll leave it to her to describe the concern
     she has

OSPF relies on IP for fragmentation, there's no difference with this LSA.

I'd like to propose a minor change to the instance range values that this
draft uses to differentiate between address families.

Since the size of these ranges seems fairly arbitrary, I'd suggest that we
choose a power of two (say 32) rather than the current value of 20.  This
would change section 3 of the draft to:

   Instance ID # 0   -  # 31     IPv6 unicast AF
   Instance ID # 32  -  # 63     IPv6 multicast AF
   Instance ID # 64  -  # 95     IPv4 unicast AF
   Instance ID # 96  -  # 127     IPv4 multicast AF
   Instance ID # 128  -  # 255    Reserved

This seems more consistent with the way most protocol fields are defined,
and gives implementers the additional option of using bit-wise operators
when demuxing the incoming packets.

Subject: Comment on rekeying in draft-ietf-ospf-ospfv3-auth-03
To: OSPF@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM
Precedence: list
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

A concern I have with the current version of draft-ietf-ospf-ospfv3-auth is
that it does not specify a method for rekeying an authenticated OSPFv3 link
without breaking the adjacency.  In practice, I think such a mechanism will
be needed for the following reasons:

1. The security provided by a static key decreases with time.  The
experience of 802.11 static WEP keys is one example of this.

2. Our customers aren't going to like a solution that requires even brief
outages for periodic rekeying.

Non-disruptive re-keying of a link should be possible by establishing an
additional input SA with the new key.  Once all the routers on a link have
done this, the transmit SAs can be moved over.  Finally, once all the
routers have moved to the new key, the old input SAs can be removed.  The
trick will be in reliably controlling and synchronizing this sequence.

If this is a problem that we're going to solve, I'd suggest that putting it
into the draft, at least as a "SHOULD", will make it more likely that
implementations will interoperate.

Thanks.

Paul,

I am happy to receive some comments on the draft :)

I am just wondering about why you think that re-keying will
always break the adjacency ?

As the whole authentication process is transparent to OSPF,
the only thing that OSPF will see is some missing packets=20
(hello packets in a stable situation). If the keys are changed
within say 1 minute on all the routers that are on a common
link (how many ospf routers are gonna be there on a common
link ??), the adjacency won't break. Right ?

Moreover, if a customer wants to change the keys periodically,
he/she might not choose to do it manaully everytime. And if=20
they do it with some automated way, 1 minute should be more=20
than enough to change keys on all the routers.

So why do you think that it will break the adjacency ??

Regards
Mukesh

I believe it is configured dead interval (which can be as small as 2
seconds using base
OSPF or 1 second using some tricks).

Hi Gargi,

The point is that one *has* to solve the inter-domain case. IGP cannot
do that unlike BGP based solutions which do that. Given that why a
different solution for the intra domain case ? Note that in a domain this
information is needed only by the PEs. It doesn't need to be flooded on
all the P routers.

The core maybe BGP free, but the PE routers will run BGP. Can you explain
the scenario when the PEs don't run BGP ?

For route resolution, the BGP next-hop needs to be reachable. The BGP
next-hop will be the tunnel endpoint address. This in turn will be an IGP
route. Why is this not sufficient ?

Then maybe IGPs should carry labelled VPN routes too in a domain ?

The tunnel encapsulations are needed by the PE routers and are advertised
by the PE routers. Different PE routers can advertise different tunnel
capabailities. However P routers do not require this information.

By that argument why have anything that is in both BGP & IGP? Why have
redistribution between protocols at all? :)

The inter-AS - more expensive solution would be used when inter-AS tunnels
are needed, whereas the intra-AS solution can be used in case of intra-AS
tunnels and also if a Provider wants to propagate tunnel information within
its domain using an IGP and redistribute only the inter-AS information on
the border PEs. This completes the solution. These are not competing solutions.
One complements and completes the other and caters to those customers who do
not want to run BGP to signal these tunnel end-points and want to treat them
(correctly) as part of IGP reachability.

Not necessarily. Depends on the application. You are narrowing down the scope
to a particular application - which is why you think PE. I agree that common
scenarios would be PE-to-PE. But that does not mean that there won't be scenarios
that have P routers as endpoints. TE-tunnels is one example.

Also note that this draft is a framework for tunnel endpoint signalling and
how and where it is deployed/used and whether the tunnel endpoints are PEs
or Ps depends on the specific application a Provider or an Enterprise has
in mind.

You are only thinking Provider VPNs. In that case yes - the PEs will run
BGP. But like I said this is not limited to Provider VPNs and hence the
tunnel endpoints could be just vanilla IGP routers.

Because the reachability would be through the tunnel. Unless the tunnel
comes up - traffic cannot begin to flow through it and hence the destination
is still unreachable as long as the Tunnel endpoint encapsulation is not
received. That really belongs in the IGP which is what provides the reachability
to the endpoint.

Well, thats upto you, if you want to define that. ;-) I'm not the one saying that.

When a capability is announced, one does not expect all routers in a
network to react to such capability. One example is
draft-vasseur-mpls-ospf-te-cap-00.

Do we then require that the RI LSA carries capability information only
if all routers in a network need it? If so, I don't see this requirement
mandated in draft-lindem-ospf-cap-01.

I agree we should not simply stuff any type of information in OSPF. But
this should be looked at from application to application. Most of the
times, a router announcing as a tunnel endpoint does not change its
status. Tunnel application can be mostly viewed as a single shot.

Furthermore, there are enterprise networks that are only running IGP
(OSPF in this case), which wish to establish tunnels to divert special
class of traffic. In such cases, OSPF needs to provision this dynamic
discovery.

In a VPN enviroment, OSPF converges in sub-seconds while BGP in minutes,
OSPF can deliver the tunnel endpoint information much faster than BGP,
enabling faster traffic reachibility.

Sandy

I can't agree with this statement.

BGP convergence intra domain - note within _single_ domain can be in
fact almost as fast for tunnel AFI/SAFI then for OSPF. In fact with
default timers in OSPF and with prioritizing tunnel AFI/SAFI first (as
it should be the case) I could argue that even today with most BGP
implementations it will converge faster then OSPF when the number of
your P routers is decent.

I think we could debate more - and yes this draft itself solves some
practical cases with not too big overhead for IGPs - but let's at least
keep the facts right.

Thx,
R.

This is another flaw with doing this in IGP. A BGP only solution doesn't

The control traffic reachability is through the hop by hop path to the
tunnel endpoint. Data traffic takes the tunnel.

A BGP-only solution *requires* BGP. That is the only flaw with just doing
this via BGP.

There are numerous examples out there. Look at draft-vasseur-mpls-ospf-te-cap-00.txt

I just named one. This is not limited/targeted at P routers though. There
could be enterprise routers that do not run BGP that need tunneling mechanisms.
Sandy's email mentioned an example for that as well.

Data traffic cannot take the tunnel path until -

1) the control-plane IGP route-reachability has converged
2) the Tunnel reachability has converged

Today - IGPs can give us 1). What is missing is 2) - which is what this draft
proposes to add.

I dont quite agree with - 'prioritizing... as should be the case'. We
have debated this in the past and you know my stance. The stance of
multiple providers I have talked to, also seems to be the same. They
want a simple, scalable BGP which does not affect/compromise on their
core ipv4 routing. So let's not talk about BGP here.

Reality is, in most generic implementations today, there is an order of
magnitude difference between OSPF and BGP.

Let's forget about the 'if's and 'when's for now. Plus convergence is
not the only major driving factor. There is a need for a non-BGP solution
expressed by the enterprise and provider space alike.

Ok. So you agree that this draft solves practical cases. Hear Ya!

Folks,

The L2TPv3 part of draft-eng-nalawade-ospf-tunnel-cap-00.txt essentially
turns OSPF into an alternative signaling protocol for L2TPv3. Before
accepting the draft as a WG document there has to be a clear explanation
of why there is a need to create yet another signaling protocol for L2TPv3,
and why L2TPv3 signaling is not sufficient.

Yakov.

Don't they also want a simple scalable IGP which does not affect/compromise
on their core ipv4 routing. So, let's talk *here* about why BGP overload
is bad, while IGP overload is ok.

And wrt "BGP which does not affect/compromise on their core ipv4 routing",
isn't it *you* who wrote several internet drafts that describe mechanisms
to handle this with BGP ?

Vendors who have this problem should fix the IBGP part of their "generic
implementation".

Of course there is. And that's why we should not only talk about BGP
here comparing both solutions as about some massive and huge monster but
we do need to realize that Tunnel AFI/SAFI's properties and the number
of few NLRIs it needs to carry in comparison with thousands of ipv4 or
vpnv4 BGP carries is a very significant factor to keep in mind.

Hi Yakov,

Practical cases I have in mind is the pragmatic approach to reuse
existing and deployed machinery for flooding information versus
designing new one from scratch.

That applies to BGP, IGPs, LDP, PIM etc ....

I essentially see nothing wrong with providing some one the ability to
use OSPF for distributing session IDs and cookies in this example if
they wish to do so for some reason.

As example for provider who wish to use 2547bis over L2TPv3 for whatever
reason and happens to have quite a few confederations with a common IGP
it seems simpler to use IGP then a sequence of IBGP/EBGP cycles to get
the information distributed.

So to make myself clear I would like to see if there is an agreement in
general for "protocol reuse". I also think that at some time it may turn
better to just define a user configurable container (ala community
field) in IGPs where users could put their data and flood without the
need to go via new code / new draft each time a need to flood something
arises.

Cheers,
R.

Those are the theoritical limits for the dead interval. What are the
practical values ? Default value of the dead interval is 30 seconds
in our implementation.

Anyway, it seems like a good idea to atleast put this into the draft=20
as a suggested mechanism so that people can do it if they want. I=20
will try to put this into the draft.

Mukesh

My experience is that most people do leave the defaults (10/40) but some
definitely set
hello//dead intervals lower (although not at the OSPF spec minimum).
However,  I think most people
would tell you they want lower dead intervals and faster convergence.

Mukesh,

You are correct that successfully rekeying all the routers on a link
within the router dead interval will preserve the adjacencies.  So, I
guess I overstated the problem by implying that the draft provides *no*
way to do this.

However, from an operational perspective, I am uncomfortable with a
scheme that puts this sort of real-time constraint on the rekeying
process.

Since we don't define a key distribution/rekeying protocol, rekeying
will be done by "out of band" configuration changes, either manually or
via some vendor or user developed automated process.  Should these not
succeed within the dead interval, the adjacency will be lost.  Further,
the loss of the adjacency may impair management access to one or more of
the routers on that link, making a second try more difficult.

Also, as Acee has pointed out, the trend among some users is to shorter
hello/dead intervals which will make the time constraint that much
harder to meet.

So, what I am suggesting is that we specify an *additional* rekeying
mechanism that works no matter how long it takes.

Regards,

- Paul

Alex,

-><wg participant>
->
->Here's the question I asked at the mic today:
->
->2328 limits the configuration of the VLs so that they can
->only transit through non-backbone areas and always belong to
->the backbone. Among other things this prevents "recursive"
->VLs, i.e., VLs relying on other VLs.
->
->The draft relaxes this and suggests that the TA can belong to
->any area and can transit any area. This opens up a
->possibility for TA1 that belongs to area A1 to transit area
->A2 that has TA2. This means that it could be possible for
->packets to be encapsulated more than once. It seems it could
->also be possible to have recursive TA resolution, e.g. in the
->case above, TA2 transiting area A1.

Yes, if TA1 has to transit over area 2 to go from ABR1 to ABR2 and its
shortest path goes over another TA ( that is another TA belonging to
area 2 exist ) then the packet could be encapsulated / decapsulated one
more time in the portion that TA2 traverse if they are multi-hop but
note that in any case the packet will be delivered to te remote ABR and
there should not be any problem.

->
->Seems that this needs to be given more thought.

Could you give an example of a case that could introduce a problem

Thanks

And moreover, we need to keep in mind that there is no need to carry

Paul,

I understand you point and agree with you that we should have a=20
mechanism that works without depending on these real-time=20
restrictions. We will try to come up with something and will post
it to the list for review soon.

If you have given it a thought and it is easier for you to come
up with the text for the draft, we would be more than happy to=20
review it and add it to the draft.

I heard that Cisco has implemented the draft. I would like to hear
more about the implementation experience and would like to explore
the possibility of testing our implementation with yours.

Regards
Mukesh

Sina,

When I last contacted you about this draft I recommended you drop DC and
maintain TAs utilizing Hello processing. Short Router Dead intervals
might mitigate the anomalous behavior described in the example below. At
the time you felt comfortable that excessive LSA Retransmission would
cause these adjacencies to drop in a timely manner. Regardless of how
your draft maintains the Full state of its TAs, there might still be an
unacceptable lag time before the TAs drop after a critical path component
fails. During this lag, packet forwarding may incur endless
retunneling.

Consider this contrived (for simplicity) example:

                        N2
                         .
                         .
                        B0
                       . . .
          Area 1     .   .   .     Area 2
           link    .     .     .    link
                 .    Area 2     .
               .         .         .
            A0..Area 1..Xs..link...C0
               .         .         .
                 .     link      .
                   .     .     .   Area 1
          Area 2     .   .   .      link
           link        . . .
                        D0

where Area 2 has a TA between A0 and C0 across Area 1, and Area 1 has a
TA between B0 and D0 across Area 2. A0, B0, C0, and D0 are Area 0 border
routers. Xs is a non-routing switching component common to paths in both
areas that has just failed. N2 is a network belonging to Area 2. The
intent is for the paths

        A0..Area.1..Xs..link....C0
and
        B0..Area.2..Xs..link....D0

to maintain the Area 1 TA and Area 2 TA respectively. Unfortunately,
following the failure of Xs, the TAs can also be used to maintain each
other until one or the other drops. Here is what happens during the lag.

Stage 1

A0 needs to forward a packet through B0 to N2 across Area 2. The direct
Area 2 path to N2, namely A0-->D0--Xs-->B0-->N2, is broken. However the
Area 1 TA (TA1) between B0 and D0 across Area 2 appears good to A0 (until
the TA fails and is removed from the LSDB), creating an apparent Area 1
path between A0 and C0, namely A0-->B0--TA1-->D0-->C0. This in turn
makes the Area 2 TA (TA2) between A0 and B0 appear good, thus providing
A0 with the illusion of an Area 2 path to N2, namely
A0--TA2-->C0-->B0-->N2.

So A0 encapsulates the Area 2 packet destined for N2 into a GRE packet
destined for C0 in Area 1, and forwards this new GRE packet across its
Area 1 direct link to B0.

Stage 2

B0 receives this latest GRE packet from A0 whose destination is C0 in
Area 1 (not N2 in Area 2). Similar logic causes B0 to ensapsulate this
GRE packet into another GRE packet destined for D0 in Area 2, and then
B0 forwards this new GRE packet across its Area 2 direct link to C0.

Stage 3

C0 receives this latest GRE packet from B0 whose destination is D0 in
Area 2 (not C0 in Area 1). Similar logic causes C0 to ensapsulate this
GRE packet into another GRE packet destined for A0 in Area 2, and then
C0 forwards this latest GRE packet across its Area 1 direct link to D0.

Stage 4

D0 receives this latest GRE packet from C0 whose destination is A0 in
Area 1 (not D0 in Area 2). Similar logic causes D0 to ensapsulate this
GRE packet into another GRE packet destined for B0 in Area 1, and D0
then forwards this new GRE packet across its Area 2 direct link to A0.

Stage 5 and beyond

A0 receives this latest GRE packet from D0 whose destination is B0 in
Area 2 (not A0 in Area 1). This last Area 2 GRE packet destined for B0
in Area 2 is just the original Area 2 packet destined for N2, bundled
underneath four GRE encapsulations. Stages 1 through 4 repeat
continuously until the TAs drop, effectively producing a short (?)
packet flood over the perimeter links of Area 1 and Area 2.

Thoughts anyone? How about a simpler example.

Sina,

This is being resent due to a couple of incorrect Area #s. Sorry.

When I last contacted you about this draft I recommended you drop DC and
maintain TAs utilizing Hello processing. Short Router Dead intervals
might mitigate the anomalous behavior described in the example below. At
the time you felt comfortable that excessive LSA Retransmission would
cause these adjacencies to drop in a timely manner. Regardless of how
your draft maintains the Full state of its TAs, there might still be an
unacceptable lag time before the TAs drop after a critical path component
fails. During this lag, packet forwarding may incur endless
retunneling.

Consider this contrived (for simplicity) example:

                        N2
                         .
                         .
                        B0
                       . . .
          Area 1     .   .   .     Area 2
           link    .     .     .    link
                 .    Area 2     .
               .         .         .
            A0..Area 1..Xs..link...C0
               .         .         .
                 .     link      .
                   .     .     .   Area 1
          Area 2     .   .   .      link
           link        . . .
                        D0

where Area 2 has a TA between A0 and C0 across Area 1, and Area 1 has a
TA between B0 and D0 across Area 2. A0, B0, C0, and D0 are Area 0 border
routers. Xs is a non-routing switching component common to paths in both
areas that has just failed. N2 is a network belonging to Area 2. The
intent is for the paths

        A0..Area.1..Xs..link....C0
and
        B0..Area.2..Xs..link....D0

to maintain the Area 1 TA and Area 2 TA respectively. Unfortunately,
following the failure of Xs, the TAs can also be used to maintain each
other until one or the other drops. Here is what happens during the lag.

Stage 1

A0 needs to forward a packet through B0 to N2 across Area 2. The direct
Area 2 path to N2, namely A0-->D0--Xs-->B0-->N2, is broken. However the
Area 1 TA (TA1) between B0 and D0 across Area 2 appears good to A0 (until
the TA fails and is removed from the LSDB), creating an apparent Area 1
path between A0 and C0, namely A0-->B0--TA1-->D0-->C0. This in turn
makes the Area 2 TA (TA2) between A0 and B0 appear good, thus providing
A0 with the illusion of an Area 2 path to N2, namely
A0--TA2-->C0-->B0-->N2.

So A0 encapsulates the Area 2 packet destined for N2 into a GRE packet
destined for C0 in Area 1, and forwards this new GRE packet across its
Area 1 direct link to B0.

Stage 2

B0 receives this latest GRE packet from A0 whose destination is C0 in
Area 1 (not N2 in Area 2). Similar logic causes B0 to ensapsulate this
GRE packet into another GRE packet destined for D0 in Area 2, and then
B0 forwards this new GRE packet across its Area 2 direct link to C0.

Stage 3

C0 receives this latest GRE packet from B0 whose destination is D0 in
Area 2 (not C0 in Area 1). Similar logic causes C0 to ensapsulate this
GRE packet into another GRE packet destined for A0 in Area 1, and then
C0 forwards this latest GRE packet across its Area 1 direct link to D0.

Stage 4

D0 receives this latest GRE packet from C0 whose destination is A0 in
Area 1 (not D0 in Area 2). Similar logic causes D0 to ensapsulate this
GRE packet into another GRE packet destined for B0 in Area 2, and D0
then forwards this new GRE packet across its Area 2 direct link to A0.

Stage 5 and beyond

A0 receives this latest GRE packet from D0 whose destination is B0 in
Area 2 (not A0 in Area 1). This last Area 2 GRE packet destined for B0
in Area 2 is just the original Area 2 packet destined for N2, bundled
underneath four GRE encapsulations. Stages 1 through 4 repeat
continuously until the TAs drop, effectively producing a short (?)
packet flood over the perimeter links of Area 1 and Area 2.

In general, because VL in any area can use a VL in any other area, it
seems there can be multiple (more than 2) encapsulations. This
certainly has some TCP path MTU implications that need to be spelled
out.

->>Seems that this needs to be given more thought.

> Could you give an example of a case that could introduce a problem

The most interesting scenario I had in mind was with recursive TAs.
Here is a simple example that would be useful to think through:

 -+---B1---+-- Area0
  |        |
 [R1]     [R2]
  |        |
 -+---B2---+-- Area1

Assume that there are two TA1 between R1 and R2: TA1 belonging to
Area 0 and transiting Area 1, and TA2 belonging to Area 1 transiting
Area 0. The event to consider is when TAs go up and then segments B1
and B2 go down. Since both TAs are used in SPF, it is possible they
will use each other for resolution during SPF.

It's a little hard for me to write down a full analysis of this
scenario during the IETF week :) I'd appreciate if you looked at
this, and I'll try to do so on my flight back on Friday to see if
it really is a problem.

Cheers.
Alex

Pat,

1) The draft specify to send Hello over the TA and one could configure
it as DC if required

2) In your analysis, you did not mention what is the shortest path of
each TA, if they are the direct links then you would follow that next
hop and not through adjacent node which will make the packet to be
dropped since the switch is down

3) Assuming the TA's path goes over each other and later the switch goes
down, what you described could happen during a transition time ( the
time TA will be brought down ) and not a problem with the proposal. As
an analogy when a link goes down and during a transition SPF period in
the network we can have loop however this does not mean that there is a
problem in SPF algorithm.

Thanks
Sina

I guess you mean TA ;-)
The usage of TA is pretty simple, i.e. use backbone area as a transit
area for non-backbone areas. this is true for

1) using high speed link of the backbone
2) in Hub and spoke topology have multiple TA over backbone link
3)  on demand partition repair for non-backbone area that are summarized

I personally fail to see why one would configure mutual TA, i.e. TA1
going through area X and belonging to Y and TA2 going through area Y and
belonging to X but even in those case there won't be a problem

Ok

A) I bring up TA1 which transit through area 0 and belong to area 1,
initially its SPT is through link B1
B) I bring up TA2 which transit through area 1 and belong to area 0,
initially its SPT is through link B2
C) TA1 and TA2 could switch from direct link trough each other
D) B1 and B2 goes down
E) TA1 and TA2 are backing each other up

However the Hello will make sure that the TA will be brought down,
therefore we do need to send Hello over TA in those scenarios instead of
considering it as DC

One important correction below

->
->Pat,
->
->1) The draft specify to send Hello over the TA and one could
->configure it as DC if required
->
->2) In your analysis, you did not mention what is the shortest
->path of each TA, if they are the direct links then you would
->follow that next hop and not through adjacent node which will
->make the packet to be dropped since the switch is down
->
->3) Assuming the TA's path goes over each other and later the
->switch goes down, what you described could happen during a
->transition time

Actually this can NEVER happen. This is because TA shortest path can
never go through each other as cost are positive ( one can go over the
other but not over each other ) therefore in your example after the
first GRE encapsulation you would drop the packet since the switch is
down.

Thanks
Sina

PS: Alex, this is also true for your example, two TA's SPT can not go
over each other therefore they can never backup each other



( the time TA will be brought down ) and not
->a problem with the proposal. As an analogy when a link goes
->down and during a transition SPF period in the network we can
->have loop however this does not mean that there is a problem
->in SPF algorithm.

This is in response to Sina's most recent post on this subject. I wanted to
reply to this E-mail to preserve Alex's example.

Hi  Sina,
I must be missing something since I don't understand why it wouldn't be
a problem
if you simultaneously lost physical connectivity through areas 1 and 2.
Without some
extra next-hop checking, it seems that area 0 could use the TA through
area 1 and
vice versa. Granted, packets would not be delivered and the adjacency
would go
down in RouterDeadInterval seconds (which in turn would result in the
TAs being
brought down).

I think it would simplify  implementation/debugging to say that a TA
should not be
considered up unless the best path through its transit area is not over
a another TA.

Acee,

Let's take Alex example,

    TA1 belong to area 1
    ------>
 -+---B1---+-- Area0
  |        |
 [R1]     [R2]
  |        |
 -+---B2---+-- Area1
     ----->
    TA0 belong to area 0

->connectivity through areas 1 and 2. Without some extra
->next-hop checking, it seems that area 0 could use the TA

Before links goes down TA0 and TA1 cannot goes over each other, say TA1
goes over TA0

1) When links goes down, if you don't notice that the links are down (
switch in the middle ) then nothing happen that is TA0 and TA1 are still
not going through each other and after the RouterDeadInterval TA are
delared down

2) If you detect that the link is down in that case the interface
associated with TA could be brought down and still TA are not going over
each other

In any case assuming that in 2)  we don't bring down the interface
associated with TA and since your physical interface is down you use the
other TA to announce adjacency But I do not see why this is different
than when a link is down and the time to detect it through Hello we
still announcing the adjacency over it ?

->Granted, packets would not be
->delivered and the adjacency would go down in
->RouterDeadInterval seconds (which in turn would result in the
->TAs being brought down).


Yes the important point is that even in those corner cases you still
have Hello to bring down the adjacency.

Thanks

Sina,

In your original draft TAs were never tied to a path whose first hop must
use a specific interface or link whose status can be monitored. Has that
changed? I almost posted a more complicated example with intermediate
routers A1 and C1 in Area 1, and B2 and D2 in Area 2. In this case A0, B0,
C0, and D0 do not see Xs fail.

                        N2
                         .
                         .
                        B0
                       . . .
          Area 1     .   .   .     Area 2
           link    .     .     .    link
                 .      B2     .
               .         .         .
             A0....A1...Xs....C1...C0
               .         .         .
                 .       .      .
                   .    D2     .   Area 1
          Area 2     .   .   .      link
           link        . . .
                        D0

Its very hard to build a straightforward non-contrived example of a cloud
of routers with a bevy of backup tunnels supporting them. In general there
would be multiple hopes. Given that SPF calculations of distinct areas are
completely disjoint, I do see these lag times during which packet storms
can exist. It would be a difficult scenario to troubleshoot.

Pat,

Let me Mention one more time.

In your example with endless encapsulation you *assumed* that TA1 path
goes over each other therefore endless encapsulation occur during the
failure detection.

The fact is that TA path cannot go over each other therefore after the
first encapsulation the packet will be dropped. It has nothing to do
with detecting the failure

If you still think that this is possible please provide metric with the
shortest path taken with each TA in your example

Thanks
Sina

So assume that the Xs failure is detected imediately by the SPF
algorithm of each Area, that the TAs have metric 100, the direct links
have metric 1, and that the TA RouterDead interval (or LSU failure)
keeps the TAs up for 10 seconds after the failure is detected.

P->What's confusing me is that I remember anything in your draft
P->that prevents this. Perhaps your new posting will be more
P->illuminating.

In a normal scenario, a simple match shows that two TA cannot go over
each other

- TA1 is going over a physical link with a cost of C1, so TA1 cost is C1
- TA2 is going over a physical link with a cost of C2, so TA2 cost is C2

TA1 can go over TA2 if C1 > C2  [i]  ( that is the direct cost is more )

Now once [i] is true TA2 cannot go any more over TA2 because for that we
should have C2 > C1 which is against [i]

In a failure scenario where you detect quickly that your link is down
and the only remaining path or shortest path is the other TA, for the
duration that the TA is brought down you could use the other TA

As I have stated before this is only during a transition time that TA
are brought down. I believe if there are real concerns for that we can
do what Acee suggested, i.e never use a TA in the SPT of another TA

In the original posting my only concern was during the transition
(lag) time till the TAs drop. There was never any statement that the
TAs would use one another during normal operation. I do think this is
a concern if you don't want an outage over a specific link adversely
effecting other links. Intermittant packet floods caused by flapping
links are nasty things. While its difficult to devise a simple
example, its not hard to imagine one in real life.

>I believe if there are real concerns for that we can

How does that help if one TA is in Area 1 and the other TA is in Area
2?

Pat,

P->In the original posting my only concern was during the transition
P->(lag) time till the TAs drop. There was never any statement
P->that the TAs would use one another during normal operation.

Good, we agree on that one.

P->I do think this is a concern if you don't want an outage over a
P->specific link adversely effecting other links.

This may also be true for a normal link. if links goes down, flooding
occur, SPF occur and transient loop exist and  traffic data path can
overload other links


S->>I believe if there are real concerns for that we can
S->>do what Acee suggested, i.e never use a TA in the SPT of another TA

P->How does that help if one TA is in Area 1 and the other TA is
P->in Area 2?

I was thinking to Not use a TA in another TA's SPT in order to take care
of the recursive TA. So if you have TA1 belonging to area 1 and TA2
belonging to area 2, when doing SPF for area 2 you don't want to use TA2
link ( which belong to area 2) however it may not be easy to distinguish
a TA link during SPF since it is a p2p link.

We agree that TA cannot goes over each other during normal operation, if
transition occur and during RouterDeadInterval ( which can be default to
lower values ) and in some corner cases where mutual TA configuration is
done you may have encapsulations during RouterDeadInterval of the TA.

As I have stated before TA usage and design is pretty simple and
consists of the following :

* using high speed link of the backbone for transit area
* in Hub and spoke topology have multiple TA over backbone link ( path )
* on demand partition repair for non-backbone area that are summarized


Therefore I do not see any problem in the current draft. Now if you
would still argue and there are real concerns regarding recursive TA (
which may happen during RouterDeadInterval ) from other WG members, I
can modify the proposal to avoid the recursive TA.


Thanks
Sina

Sina,

Very true. Keep in mind the example I posted is very contrived for
simplicity but represents what I believe is a subtle sink hole that a
customer could unknowningly fall into. Placing a tunnel here and there may
seem harmless, but once you have more than one in the OSPF domain
topology, all bets are off.

There is nothing wrong with your applications:

>* using high speed link of the backbone for transit area
>* in Hub and spoke topology have multiple TA over backbone link ( path )
>* on demand partition repair for non-backbone area that are summarized

but customers are nortorious for stretching the limits of feature and its
the poor folk on the cisco hot line that have to troubleshoot such subtle
anomalies. This feature needs to be carefully deployed. A cautious
technical writeup is warranted

Its nice to see an OSPF draft that features enterprise applicability.

just wondering how would you distinguish the TA link from any other p2p
link during SPF, given that the TA in each area can be configured
between different set of routers.

Hi Peter,

I should have been clearer.  After you run an SPF for a transit area,
you need
to check the TAs to determine if they should be brought up/down or stay the
same (actually you could be smart about which ones you check). I'm proposing
to augment this checking to assure a TA's status is not "up" if the best
path
through a transit area is not via a different locally configured TA in
another transit area.

Make sense?  I could be missing something since this is all based on mental
simulation :^)

Thanks,
Acee

above would work if both TAs are configured between same pair of endpoints.
I was wondering about the case, where two different TAs are configured
on different set of endpoints:

TA1 - endpoints: R1, R2; area 1; transit area 0;
TA1 - endpoints: R3, R4; area 0; transit area 1;

Seems like this could be a problem if R1 and R3 had physical
connectivity  in areas 1 and 0 and R2 and R4 also had physical
connectivity in areas 1 and 0.  What's more the packets would
loop until the TAs went down  due to hello timeout.

Subject:  OSPF - IP Multicast interaction problem

Date:     17 November 2003



==================



Dear mister Moy, IETF OSPF working group members



I want to inform you about an OSPF - IP Multicast interaction problem. We did have some problems during our "Proof of Concept" testing this week, caused by RPF (reverse path forwarding) checks, performed by PIM and / or multicast packet forwarding code.



--------



Problem description:



The RPF problem was caused by settings on some of the router links, the OSPF metrics were configured highly, as the config was left from a previous test. The configuration was absolutely valid for OSPF and was preferred for the previous setup. As soon as we saw this configuration, we adjusted it and our problem disappeared.



But I was not amused about this problem. I made multiple designs making use of a permitted technique in OSPF: we set the OSPF metric on values that are related to the interface bandwidth and / or CPU power of the routing device; metrics on interfaces connected to a certain transit network could differ. Here some real world examples:



1) Token Ring and ATM backbone (old technology but it is a real world example, I made the design myself). An 4Mbps interface would get a medium to high metric related to 16Mbps and a high metric related to high speed LANE ATM interfaces.



2) Ethernet VLAN environments (todays technology, so interesting to mention). It is likely that redundant VLAN backbone segments are interconnected using layer-3 switches and possibly WAN routers are connected to multiple backbone segments. The WAN routers should not handle VLAN backbone traffic, so the OSPF metric on the WAN router interfaces would get high metrics related to the layer-3 switches.



3) On Frame Relay or ATM networks, using partly meshed structures and unequal access bitrates, a network designer configures the OSPF metrics with respect to the available bandwidth. This is especially true if other communication means are in place, e.g. ISDN, satcom or microwave links.



--------



If transit networks are configured with unequal OSPF metrics, asymmetric routing is likely to occur.  As an example I studied the network as described in RFC2328, figure 2. I calculated traffic paths from N1 to N7 and vice versa. I included two drawings below, depicting asymmetric routing.



Avoiding asymmetric routing is generally accepted as a design goal and it is mandatory for every IP multicast capable network. On the other side I mentioned a few example networks that benefits from unequal OSPF metric settings on transit network links, which could introduce asymmetric routing very easily.



As I kept thinking about this problem, I came to the conclusion that the IP community running OSPF (or a similar routing protocol) would benefit from an improvement on asymmetric routing probability avoidance. An easy to define mechanism could take the average (and round downwards) of the ingress and egress interface metric on each transit link. Implementing is harder, as each router in an area must have an identical path calculation algorithm. So the implementation must support backwards compatibility, e.g. the new algorithm should be enabled per area and a router LSA option bit could be used to signal existence of old style routers.



Now I can formulate my questions:

Is the problem described above well known and documented in an RFC or Internet Draft?

What is your opinion on this issue? Could it be fixed in OSPF?

When could the problem be fixed, what is your opinion on this?



Your response would be very welcome. If you have needs for any more explanation on this issue, please let me know.



Regards,

Teco Boot

Figures:

Taken from RFC2328, figure 2, page 18; route from N1 to N7 and vise versa.



(figure 1)



N1 to N7:

path will be:  N1 - RT1 - N3 - RT4 - RT5 - RT7 - N6 - RT8 - N7

path cost is:          1 +        8 +   6 +   1 +        4     = 20





(figure 2)



N7 to N1:

path will be:  N7 - RT8 - N6 - RT10 - Ia/Ib - RT6 - RT3 - N3 - RT1 - N1

path cost is:          1 +         5 +           6 +   1 +        3     = 16

Dear Mr Boot,

If I undertstand your E-mail, you are requesting that OSPF somehow=20
guarentee symmetric routing and
take some action in the face of asymmetric costs. I (speaking as a WG=20
member) do not think this
is a problem that we should try and solve. In fact, Isuspect that if we=20
looked hard enough there would
be IETF documents support not try to solve this problem in OSPF.

Thanks,
Acee

Three thoughts, first two editorial.

1) In the abstract, I would like the text to include LSA Header in the reference
to options, as OSPF has options in other places

2) Throughout, VPN-IP address should be VPN-IPv4 address as in (mostly) the base
VPN documents

3) The dn bit stops OSPF route calculation.  What about other OSPF processing?
I assume that the LSA will be put in the topological database, aged, flooded etc
just as if dn was not set.  In which case, or if not, I would like that
specifically stated.

All,

Did a full re-review of the MIB and here are my comments:
1. For ospfNbrOptions, should we update the DESCRIPTION clause with
the current available options?
2. For ospfAsLsdbAdvertisement, the SYNTAX clause is incorrect.
Instead of SIZE(36), it needs to be SIZE(1..65535).
3. For ospfConfigErrorType, instead of moving noError every time
we add a new enum, just make noError to be zero.
4. Also for ospfConfigErrorType, in the DESCRIPTION, ospfConfig-
Error and ospfConfigVirtError need to have "If" in each.
5. Should we add additional error codes for:
 a. badLsType -- something other than 1 thru 5
 b. subnetMismatch -- for bcast links, or do we want to overload
    netMaskMismatch?
 c. xsumError -- when the packet contents do not match the OSPF
    checksum, also when LSA content does not match LSA checksum
 d. badLengths -- when the advertised length of the OSPF packet
    does not match the actual length of the received packet
6. If 5a is adopted, then ospfPacketType needs an additional enum
   for other(7) or unknown(7).
7. For the NbrStateChange traps, should we add an additional
varbind for the event that caused the state change?  This aids
when debugging a resetting adjacency to know that an sequence #
mismatch or a change in the options caused the adjacency to reset.

Thanks,
Don

We will add a  statement saying that LSAs with the DN  bit set still get put
in the topological database, aged, flooded, etc.

I misunderstood, coming to this from [OSPF-VPN] which is - mostly - IPv4
specific.  Worth a note at the end of the Abstract such as

'The procedures specified apply equally to IPv4 and IPv6'
?

*********************************************************************

o Acee Lindem (10 mins): "Graceful OSPF Restart Implementation
  Report" - draft-ietf-ospf-graceful-impl-report-00.txt

Summary:
-------

This document provides an implementation report for the Graceful
Restart extension to the OSPF protocol per RFC 1264 (stating the
requirements for a report on implementation experience).

- Five vendors have implemented graceful OSPF and have completed the
  implementation survey.

- Implementation Differences:
  . Whether or not strict LSA checking was implemented and, if so,
    whether it was configurable (note: strict LSA checking indicates
    whether or not a changed LSA will result in termination of the
    graceful restart by a helping router.)
  . Whether a received grace LSA would be taken to apply only to the
    adjacency on which it was received or all adjacencies with the
    restarting router.
  . Whether or not additional extensions were implemented to
    accommodate other features such as protocol redistribution or
    interaction with MPLS VPNs

- Addition to the OSPFv2 MIB:
  . 5 new objects to the ospfGeneralGroup
  . 3 new objects to the ospfNbrEntry
  . 3 new objects to the ospfVirtNbrEntry

Discussions:

- Acee Lindem: anyone else interested (from the already listed 5
  vendors) ?

-> yes, 2 additional vendors expressed interest and will be included
   upon completion of the survey.

*********************************************************************

o Rahul Aggarwal (10 Mins): "Support of address families in OSPFv3"
  draft-mirtorabi-ospfv3-af-alt-00.txt

Summary:
-------

- Agenda: Motivation, Proposed solution, Design consideration

- Motivation: Need to carry multiple AF in OSPFv3 (such as
  multicast IPv6, unicast or multicast IPv4) in addition to
  IPv6 unicast

- Proposed solution:
  . Multiple AFs are introduced in OSPFv3 by reserving Instance IDs
    and using one OSPFv3 instance for exactly one AF.
  . Each AF establish different adjacency, have different LSDB and
    compute different SPT.
  . Hello processing: to avoid blackholing, hello processing is
    changed in order to only establish adjacency with the routers
    that have the AF-bit set in their Options field.
  . Modification of the semantic of some of the Option field bits
    defined in RFC2740.
  . Carrying Prefixes in new AF's: each Prefix has a prefix length
    facilitating the advertisement of prefixes of different lengths
    in different AF's (no need to define new LSAs).
  . Virtual Link (VL): virtual link are not currently supported in
    other AF's than IPv6 unicast AF (as there cannot be a multihop
    forwarding based on global IPv6 address or such a path may not
    exist).

- AF Design Considerations:
  . Mmapping an instance to an AF doesn't introduce new mechanisms
    in the protocol
  . Minimizes the protocol extensions required and simplifies the
    implementation.
  . Presence of a separate LSDB per AF is easier to debug and
    operate.
  . Does not change the existing instance, area and interface based
    configuration model of most OSPF implementations

- Request to make it a WG document

Discussion:
----------

- Fred Baker: Agree to make it working group document but concern
  wrt mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) - does not want to have two
  neighbor relationships and favor keeping a single instance.

  Also this solution potentially doesn't address MANET concerns
  and requirements.

- Acee Lindem: everybody here is in agreement that in OSPFv3 has
  to support multiple AF's so we need to address this issue

- Fred Baker: In favor of having a single instance (neighbor
  with a process of transitioning) and doesn't want to see both
  OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 using AF's (doesn't want to have separate
  protocols for achieving this capability).

  This is a solution for allowing mutliple address families in
  OSPFv3 but this solution doesn't necessarily meet the MANET
  requirements.

  However, agrees to make it a working group document.

- Hasmit Grover: Not specific to this solution, questions
  the duplication of information in OSPFv3.

- Rahul Aggarwal: Not duplicating anything, it is a matter of
  having two router LSAs instead of one.

- Hasmit Grover: Still need duplication of topology information
  and it would not be more complicated to have a single instance
  for doing this.

- Acee Lindem: The target was simplication.

- Hasmit Grover: Doesn't know how much that problem it is, why
  OSPFv3 is so different ?

- Rahul Aggarwal: not TLV based

- Acee Lindem: By comparison, using a single instance for providing
  this would require more work (than what is proposed here).

- Rahul Aggarwal: Request for WG document ?

- Acee Lindem: I would like to have some more discussion on the
  proposed solution, but the requirement is acheived - it seems
  that no one disagrees that this is a requirement for OSPFv3.

- Acee Lindem: Sense the meeting room for WG document status.

-> Few people in favor

- Acee Lindem: Sense the meeting room for having an integrated
  solution.

-> Few people in favor

- Acee Lindem: WG document status and see how the discussion can
  progress.

- Rahul Aggrawal: This is document is good basis to work on this
  topic.

- Acee Lindem: The target for the working group is to come with
  something simpler.

*********************************************************************

o Rahul Aggrawal (10 Mins): "Advertising a Router's Local Addresses
  in OSPF TE Extension" - draft-raggarwa-ospf-te-node-addr-00.txt

Summary:
-------

- Agenda: Motivation, Problem Statement, Proposed solution, Conclusion

- Motivation: in some cases (for instance in a network carrying VPN
  and non-VPN traffic it is desirable to setup) CSPF computed MPLS TE
  LSPs to local addresses of a router that are not advertised in the
  TE LSAs i.e. loopback and non-TE interface addresses.

- Problem: OSPF routers can only use CSPF to compute MPLS TE LSPs to
  the router ID or the local addresses of TE enabled links, of a
  remote router.

  This because:
  . OSPFv2/v3 TE extensions only advertise the router ID and the
    local addresses of TE enabled links, of a given router -> other
    routers cannot populate their TED with other local addresses of
    the advertising router i.e. loopback and non-TE i/f addresses.
  . OSPFv2 stub links in the OSPFv2 router LSA OSPFv2 provide stub
    reachability information but not sufficient to learn all the
    local addresses of a router (same problem w/ intra-prefix LSAs
    in OSPFv3)

- Proposed solution:
  . Advertise the local addresses in a new node attribute TLV, in
    the OSPF TE LSA
  . Node attribute TLV carries the attributes associated with a
    router - it contains one or more IPv4/v6 local address sub-TLVs

Discussions:
-----------

- Acee Lindem: Put the discussion on the mailing list

- Acee Lindem (to Rahul): You could poll this information out of
  the router LSA and set that information from the topology?

- Rahul Aggarwal: Will give the details.

- Acee Lindem: Ask for comments on the mailing list, this document
  is a small amount of work since it slightly modifies OSPF-TE

*********************************************************************

o Sina Mirtorabi (10 Mins): "OSPF Tunnel Adjacency"
  draft-mirtorabi-ospf-tunnel-adjacency-00.txt

Summary:
-------

- What it is a Tunnel Adjacency (TA): Proposal to solve the intra-
  area/inter-area path preference, generalization of virtual links,
  it can force OSPF to take the desire path and it has the on-
  demand partition capapbility

- What does TA resolve: intra/inter-area path preferecne, in hub
  and spoke topology, it saves the cost of adding a new interface,
  between ABRs, it helps in repairing by avoiding segmented areas

- How a TA is established: configured as for VL's, and then it is
  announced

- How data packet is fowarded:
  . if ABR-ABR link is direct link -> sent w/o encaps
  . if ABR-ABR link is mutli-hop -> encapsulation needed (doesn't
    need configuration)

- TA Configuration/Parameters:
  . TA is configured between two ABRs attached to the same OSPF
    area.
  . Parameters: Tunnel-adjacency Transit Area (TTA) and as for
    VL's, a TA is identified by Router ID of the other endpoint
    and its Area ID

- TA resolves the VL limitations:
  . a TA link can belong to any area,
  . summarization is not affected
  . TA can't go through stub/nssa area

- TA has added value features:
  . TA cost is configurabken
  . Provides on-demand partition repaitr
  . Mutliple TA through a given path

Discussions:
-----------

- Padma Pillay-Esnault: Don't see what this adds wrt to tunneling
  between two ABR's.

- Sina Mirtorabi: 3 differences, config overhead (IP address),
  rely on IP address (reachability is done in given area, while
  tunnel doesn't guide the reachability), and provides automatic
  partition repair.

- Alex Zinin: RFC 2328 limits the configuration of the VLs so
  that they can only transit through non-backbone areas and
  always belong to the backbone. Among other things this prevents
  "recursive" VLs, i.e., VLs relying on other VLs.

  The draft relaxes this and suggests that the TA can belong to
  any area and can transit any area. This opens up a possibility
  for TA1 that belongs to area A1 to transit area A2 that has TA2.
  This means that it could be possible for packets to be
  encapsulated more than once. It seems it could also be possible
  to have recursive TA resolution, e.g. in the case above, TA2
  transiting area A1.

- Padma Pillay-Esnault: You're making people trying to avoid VL,
  while topological changes are going to generate re-routing.

- Sina Mirtorabi: VL issue is that it was recommended to "not use
  VL".

- Padma Pillay-Esnault: Any trigger in its own area is going to
  generate path re-computation.

- Acee Lindem: But any intra-area topological change is going to
  generate path re-computation in one way or another.

- Padma Pillay-Esnault: But here you may trigger several SPFs and
  thus end up with several levels of SPF,

- Acee Lindem: Yes, changes can trigger other changes during re-
  computation

- Acee Lindem: Express concerns about the requirements, today we
  have a limitation on an interface belonging to a single area. This
  requirement can be satisfied by considering the area ID but do
  we want to go further and have an automated tunneling ?

- Sina Mirtorabi: Main reason is to have a solution that avoids
  direct links, otherwise Pat Murphy approach was there to solve
  this issue.

- Acee Lindem: But that draft was too complicated.

  -> Take this to the list?

*********************************************************************

o Kiretti Kompella (10 Mins): "OSPFv2 Traffic Engineering Extensions
  for Multi-access Networks"
  draft-kompella-ospf-multiaccess-te-00.txt

Summary:
-------

- Traffic Engineering extensions for OSPFv2 for dealing with multi-
  access networks since the bandwidth attributes in the OSPFv2 TE
  do not accurately model the available bandwidth across a multi-
  access network.

- LAN being modelized as a star (modelisation X=DR being one of the
  router attached to the LAN) but X doesn't generate a TE LSA thus
  the bandwidth availability (i.e. Unreserved Bandwidth) is not
  available in the reverse direction (e.g. X->D)

- Motivation comes from that fact that switches are increasingly the
  router interconnection of choice and it is fairly trivial to
  achieve this, by advertizing the reverse bandwidth (i.e. from
  the DR)

- Next steps:
  . Two questions is this useful? Hole in RFC 3630 but also be
    a requirement from service provider?
  . Vendors to tell if this a reasonable solution.

Discussions:
-----------

- Acee Lindem: Put the question on the list?

  This is one is a bit more complicated than the previous TE
  extension (Rahuls), with two more vectors of information.

- Acee Lindem: Do we want TE to this level of detail that keeps
  track of the type of switch ?

- Dave Ward: There is a requirement to solve the problem, this
  is also a requirement for which Cisco is receiving input to
  define such kind of extensions.

- Acee Lindem: Wonders if this has to be dealt here in the OSPF
  WG or in the TE WG?

- (?): any admission control issue ?

- Kireeti Kompella: Implementation needs a change to use this,
  backward compatible means that routers by seeing this, they
  don't pick out (of course they wouldn't be capable of using this);
  also by using a new TE LSA, router on the LAN would have to
  understand this TE LSA - concerning CAC issue suggests you read
  the draft

- (?): interaction between admission control and RSVP ?

- Kireeti Kompella: when TE extensions where defined, conclusion
  was that it doesn't make sense to say how RSVP-TE interacts
  with this, (this has not been done in OSPF-TE as well) some of
  the hints to do have been given in the document. Kireeti says
  it should be clear for the reader.

- (?): put the information here asks the question of what is the
  added value of having this information to perform the CSPF.

- Kireeti Kompella: Information is there to do admission control
  on the LAN.

- George Swallow: It works in the fully point-switched case, but
  not in the case of cascaded switches.

- Acee Lindem: Put also on the TE WG mailing list

o Fred Baker (10 Mins): "Problem Statement for OSPF Extensions for
  Mobile Ad Hoc Routing"
  draft-baker-manet-ospf-problem-statement-00.txt

- Problem statement for OSPF extensions for mobile ad hoc networks

- Presentation:

<ftp://ftpeng.cisco.com/fred/manet/Problem_Statement_for_OSPF_Extensions_for_Mobile_Ad.pdf>
    <ftp://ftpeng.cisco.com/fred/manet/Problem_Statement_for_OSPF_Extensions_for_Mobile_Ad.ppt>

Discussions:
-----------

- Rahul Aggarwal: High level comment, the argument on why OSPF is
  suitable is that one MANET network may co-exist with an existing
  LAN network -> so good to think about extensions

  The question is if meeting the MANET requirements generate a
  fundamental change is it not better to have a separate protocol?

- Fred Baker: INRIA want to have their own protocol, but I want to
  keep both in one place - the only concern is related to the
  scalability properties of OSPF - note also the concern on the
  training issue (so ask if possible to just add a new interface).

- Joseph Macker: A bit of history, in essence these protocol
  requirements seem applicable to OSPF, in addition people deploy
  and know how to manage it, it has homogeneous properties, and
  provides prefix summarization - here lot of interesting things
  in deploying OSPF for MANET networks seems to be stimulated
  by the development of this (new) problem statement.

  -> Is there a place for this development and in order to start
  this we need a problem statement document

- Rahul Aggarwal: Arguments seem valid, but seeing the Baker's
  presentation, it also seems there are lot of changes to be
  expected.

- Fred Baker: Not proposing to change the area hierarchy, what we
  are proposing is adding a MANET (radio) interface which is not
  behaving as a canonical "OSPF interface".

- Rahul Aggarwal: We need probably more discussions.

- (?): how do we address the bandwidth constraint issue?

- Fred Baker: Turns out there are lot of things to be said here
  concerning this but we speak here in terms of Mbits .

- INRIA rep: Disagrees strongly that they were not interested
  in OSPF, on the contrary INRIA put a lot attention and interest
  in OSPF, and are clearly  also looking at OSPF extensions.

- Alex Zinin: Refers to an understatement by "simply adding an
  interface" - before starting to speak about adding an interface,
  there are lot of things that may be impacted by adding such kind
  of interface and this even if it looks like very simple, it might
  not be the case.

- Acee Lindem: Now OSPF is a general purpose protocol, if we take
  on all these requirements it will look like very different from
  what it is today? But I fear that if you take all the military
  requirements, I am not sure we will end up with the same protocol
  as we have today - Give the example of authentication in OSPFv3
  using shared key multicast model - Thus take into account the
  military requirements may require a chain of changes from the
  existing documents.

- Joseph Macker: We don't speak about military requirements, lot
  of these are like the existing requirements of an ISP, Baker's
  proposal was about optimization but wasn't pushed out and here
  proposal using a kind of stub within OSPF, being less intrusive
  but also less flexible - it is pretty easy to understand.

- Sue Harres: Subsets have been worked out by the ISP's and how
  these changes can be allowed - point to the summarization issue.

- Acee Lindem: Concurs on fears concerning summarization.

- Sue Harres: Router protocols converge very fast today.

- Acee Lindem: My fear was the change to the basic area hierarchy

- Fred Baker: What I expect with the area boundary behavior, is
  that we will summarize at an area boundary as done now, but now
  information is spread, here departure by having a specific
  propagation w/i a specific area with longest prefix match first.

- Sue Harres: Worry about the inter-region flooding, solved if
  there are multi-admin hierarchy, we have to gauge where we're
  getting benefits and problems.

- Fred Baker: The big problem comes from the exponential explosion
  in messages and managing that growth (not the summarization).

- Acee Lindem: there must be a defined hierarchy, the existing
  protocol will be summarizing when the entity moves from area
  to another.

- Alex Zinin: Subsequent convergence in IGP is not the same wrt to
  the density of the topology - injecting information from an area
  to another while the majority of the nodes remains in the same
  area?

- Rao: This would generate lot of dynamic state changes - using a
  list of neighbors depending on the region where the entity is
  located, this list would be pre-configured, but by moving from
  one region to another are you still keeping the same group of
  neighbors?

- Fred Baker: Doesn't understand -> take offline

- Joseph Macker: Idea with this is to find which WG can host the
  discussion here, proposes to discuss where people think this
  item has to go, key thing is to know if this protocol can be
  implemented using OSPF

- Acee Lindem: Someone to send the list of drafts so that people
  can take a look about what we are talking about.

Acee,

Thanks for the reply.

5a. badLsType - I meant to put badPacketType (which means 1
thru 5 apply).  Maybe we should also have a badLsType if we
receive one other than 1-7 or 9-11!

5c. xsumError - Well, we can either overload the meaning of
ospfConfigErrorType, or add a new ospfErrorType to deal with
the non-configuration errors.  However, this might mean adding
a new ospfIfRcvBadPkt notification to handle receipt of these
packets.

5d. badLengths - This is just to indicate receipt of a bad
packet.  Certain packet generators have been known to generate
these as well as packets with checksum errors, and this is
an indicator that such a bad packet was received.  Once again,
if we split off the ospfIfRcvBadPkt as a new notification,
then this would be one of the possible bad packets.

6. see my reply to 5a above.  We might need an additional
ospfLsType attribute.

Thanks,
Don

At this point, I prefer the shortest route to WG Last Call so I'd be
more in favor
of overloading the type or doing nothing.

Just so we don't check that the OSPF length is exactly the IP length. A
valid check might
be that it doesn't exceed the IP length.

To our observation asymmetric routing seldomly appear
in ISP's backbone network, as usually those links are
ATM, 100Mbps/1000Mbps Ethernet or POS type.

But we do observe asymmetric routing in inter-AS
routing and QoS on the two paths differs much ( one
with e2e traceroute lay around 350ms, the other about
1000ms with 50% packet loss rate).

  At the Minneapolis OSPF WG meeting Fred Baker presented the
  MANET requirements for OSPF. On the surface, MANET seems to imply
  some substantial changes to OSPF. These include changes to the
  hello protocol, DR election, flooding, LSA origination, and
  summarization. At this point, it seems we (the OSPF WG) has a
  number of ways in which we could proceed:

    1. Do nothing - Leave MANET to the routing protocol(s) currently
       defined specifically for the MANET environment.

    2. Define a OSPF-MANET boundary node which streamlines the
       interfaction between the chosen MANET protocol (hopefully
       one) and OSPF.

    3. Define extensions to OSPFv3 which allow for one of more MANET
       clouds to connect to an OSPFv3 backbone. The extensions should
       be such that the base OSPFv3 network is insulated from the MANET
       extensions so that OSPFv3 nodes not supporting the extensions
       could co-exist outside the MANET cloud without changes. I say
       OSPFv3 here since everyone at the WG meeting agreed that IPv6
       was a requirement for MANET and everyone at the WG meeting
       agreed that  any substanitive extensions should only goto into
       OSPFv3.

    4. Define a new protocol (OSPFv4) which attempts to satisfy
       the requirements for OSPFv3 and MANET. It should be as
       close to OSPFv3 as possible (but leaves out virtual
       links :^).

    5. Other ideas (since the above are only the ones I thought of)?

  At this point, we need to discuss the direction which we want to take
  and, depending on the direction, how the work should be split between
  us and the MANET WG. I know the MANET WG is also anxious to make
  a decision.

This protocol OSPFv4 will mean "OSPF for Manet" ? or this will
be the next version of the OSPF protocol that will accomodate
normal OSPF networks and MANET networks at the same time ??

I guess that is open for discussion and would depend on how compelling
the protocol
is for non-MANET environments.

I think there is at least one other approach that has been suggested, which
you have overlooked. IMHO, it is the simplest model.

In Alex's comments to Abhay Roy, he talked about a Manet Area. This
approach seemed to convolute the fundamental concepts of OSPF.
Operationally, one certainly wants to tie a string around the set of router
interfaces that form a manet network or part of one, both to constrain
their disruption of other parts of the network and to constrain the
interactions between similar-but-different manet networks. But
mobile-ad-hoc-ness is not fundamentally a characteristic of the area. The
area is a standard OSPF construct that one uses at an administrative or
policy boundary to ensure that proper summarization happens and unnecessary
changes are not propagated.

In your remarks, you talk about "extensions to OSPFv3 which allow for one
of more MANET clouds to connect to an OSPFv3 backbone". The manet cloud,
from the sound of it, is using another routing protocol. If you want to do
that, we can already do that - leaking routes between routing protocols is
something we pretty standardly do. But route leaking is not very pretty,
and we were hoping to not have to re-invent OSPF (areas, metrics,
multi-topology routing, and all that) to accomplish this. Heck, if we
wanted to go there, we would simply extend EIGRP, or adopt OLSR and extend
it with the things it needs to be deployable on a wide scale.

What we are proposing is something much simpler. We would like to add a
manet interface type to OSPFv3. The addition of this interface capability
is entirely optional - an implementation that never expects to be deployed
in a radio network need not implement it, and can fully expect to
interoperate with implementations that have implemented it, on their
non-radio interfaces.

The MANET interface is different from a standard serial interface (as it
has multiple neighbors) and different from a LAN interface (it has no DR).
I don't see that as a fundamental impediment; remember that about eleven
years ago I pointed out that the NBMA interface didn't work very well in
Frame Relay networks of the day and proposed what we now call the
point-to-multipoint interface. Adapting OSPF to new interface technologies
(F/R being fairly new then) is something that has always been integral to
OSPF's development. To throw out the idea of a manet interface because it
is different - well, that would be a step in conservatism that would cause
me a great deal of concern. I understand and very much support the
conservatism that says "don't break what already works". But conservatism
that prevents OSPF from addressing new requirements declares OSPF an
obsolete protocol, and forces new requirements into a new protocol. I don't
think of OSPF as obsolete...

Can you tell me why adding a manet interface to OSPF is not on of the
options you are willing to consider?

This would be an instance of #3. A separate area type may or may not be
necessary to insulate non-MANET routers from MANET routers.

I agree that a MANET area is not cast in stone. However, on the surface it
would seem like a good  way to segregate the MANET extensions from base
OSPFv3.

This is option #1. There are 3 other options listed.

If the MANET interface can be added without significant modification to
the basic OSPF mechanisms (e.g. the P2MP interface was a natural
extension sinnce
it  operates very similar to a mesh of P2Ps) then this would be an
instance of option #3.
If  OSPFv3 will need to changed significantly to meet the MANET
requirements then this
should be a separate option (option #5).

Anyway, it for the OSPF WG as a whole to decide. Maybe it
is best to put forth the MANET interface proposal for technical review.

Hi Acee/Fred,

I have just started looking into ad-hoc networks so excuse me if I miss the
point. I browsed thru the slides
http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/02mar/slides/manet-1/sld005.htm and checked
the problem statement.

I think new LSA types/dynamic metric calculations(can be internal to an
implementation) would need to be added too besides the changes Acee has
listed. I am not sure what changes are required for the DR election, are you
suggesting that the STA(AP) with the route to the ABR becomes the DR.

Ad-hoc networks are IBSS LAN's, they do not have a DS. Why would we need to
have connection of Manet area to other Integrated LANs(I see the point in
Fred's slides too)? Is it for intermittently connecting to the internet,
when the cluster can(when it would not be an ad-hoc network)?

I have another doubt, is there an assumption that all STA's support IPv6?
Are any new security extensions also planned to be defined?

I feel we should proceed with Point 3 in Acee's mail.

Thanks,
Vishwas

I think there is at least one other approach that has been suggested, which
you have overlooked. IMHO, it is the simplest model.

In Alex's comments to Abhay Roy, he talked about a Manet Area. This
approach seemed to convolute the fundamental concepts of OSPF.
Operationally, one certainly wants to tie a string around the set of router
interfaces that form a manet network or part of one, both to constrain
their disruption of other parts of the network and to constrain the
interactions between similar-but-different manet networks. But
mobile-ad-hoc-ness is not fundamentally a characteristic of the area. The
area is a standard OSPF construct that one uses at an administrative or
policy boundary to ensure that proper summarization happens and unnecessary
changes are not propagated.

In your remarks, you talk about "extensions to OSPFv3 which allow for one
of more MANET clouds to connect to an OSPFv3 backbone". The manet cloud,
from the sound of it, is using another routing protocol. If you want to do
that, we can already do that - leaking routes between routing protocols is
something we pretty standardly do. But route leaking is not very pretty,
and we were hoping to not have to re-invent OSPF (areas, metrics,
multi-topology routing, and all that) to accomplish this. Heck, if we
wanted to go there, we would simply extend EIGRP, or adopt OLSR and extend
it with the things it needs to be deployable on a wide scale.

What we are proposing is something much simpler. We would like to add a
manet interface type to OSPFv3. The addition of this interface capability
is entirely optional - an implementation that never expects to be deployed
in a radio network need not implement it, and can fully expect to
interoperate with implementations that have implemented it, on their
non-radio interfaces.

The MANET interface is different from a standard serial interface (as it
has multiple neighbors) and different from a LAN interface (it has no DR).
I don't see that as a fundamental impediment; remember that about eleven
years ago I pointed out that the NBMA interface didn't work very well in
Frame Relay networks of the day and proposed what we now call the
point-to-multipoint interface. Adapting OSPF to new interface technologies
(F/R being fairly new then) is something that has always been integral to
OSPF's development. To throw out the idea of a manet interface because it
is different - well, that would be a step in conservatism that would cause
me a great deal of concern. I understand and very much support the
conservatism that says "don't break what already works". But conservatism
that prevents OSPF from addressing new requirements declares OSPF an
obsolete protocol, and forces new requirements into a new protocol. I don't
think of OSPF as obsolete...

Can you tell me why adding a manet interface to OSPF is not on of the
options you are willing to consider?

It is not strictly necessary to change LSA types.  We have an OSPFv2=20
implementation in the spirit of Fred's proposal (new interface type) =
that
does not change LSAs at all, and is fully backward compatible with
legacy routers.  It does not require splitting the MANET cloud into a
separate area.  The LSAs correspond to a point-to-multipoint subnet,=20
but the flooding internal to the MANET subnet behaves like OLSR.

Tom,

I checked the link you sent a bit.

I may be wrong here but if we model our interfaces as P2MP, we will not have
a transit link from the Manet Area at all, as we are not going above 2-way
state in which case the only link for the P2MP network will be (as per 2328)

                o   A single Type 3 link (stub network) is added with
                    Link ID set to the router's own IP interface
                    address, Link Data set to the mask 0xffffffff
                    (indicating a host route), and cost set to 0.

And as the generation and routing table calculations don't have any change
how would you have the route through a wireless network. So according to
2.1.1 the table would be


                                           **FROM**

Only when a 2-way check passes do we check the adjacent neighbors LSA's, but
that will never happen in the case here.

In my view the SPF and the condition of generation of links on LSA's will
have to change too.

It is not strictly necessary to change LSA types.  We have an OSPFv2
implementation in the spirit of Fred's proposal (new interface type) that
does not change LSAs at all, and is fully backward compatible with
legacy routers.  It does not require splitting the MANET cloud into a
separate area.  The LSAs correspond to a point-to-multipoint subnet,
but the flooding internal to the MANET subnet behaves like OLSR.

    3. Define extensions to OSPFv3 which allow for one of more MANET
       clouds to connect to an OSPFv3 backbone. The extensions should
       be such that the base OSPFv3 network is insulated from the MANET
       extensions so that OSPFv3 nodes not supporting the extensions
       could co-exist outside the MANET cloud without changes. I say
       OSPFv3 here since everyone at the WG meeting agreed that IPv6
       was a requirement for MANET and everyone at the WG meeting
       agreed that  any substanitive extensions should only goto into
       OSPFv3.

This would be my preference, at an interface level. We could call this an
"area" level, and it might be an area boundary to the "wire line" ospfv3
cloud, but I think that from the MANET side, it's slightly dangerous to
think of it as an area border, since the concept of a flooding domain/area
becomes much more ambiguous.

So, I think I would put it this way:

-- Define extensions to OSPFv3 that will not impact current wire-line
implementations.
-- Bound these extensions at an interface and/or area border, depending on
what investigation turns up in technical discussion, so the wire line side
is not impacted (see above).

And finally:

    4. Define a new protocol (OSPFv4) which attempts to satisfy
       the requirements for OSPFv3 and MANET. It should be as
       close to OSPFv3 as possible (but leaves out virtual
       links :^).

-- Once these extensions are completed, tested, and proven to work,
consider moving any such extensions back into OSPF as it might be
considered advantageous at some future point.

So, the way I would approach it:

-- Do a small "technical working group," so that those interested can go
"off on the side" in a public way without making the ospf wg mailing list,
itself, a major thoroughfare. I suspect that just about everyone would
subscribe to this "off on the side" list, which is okay, as long as it
seperates the traffic, most likely. And, we could conciously bring in the
MANET people in this way.

-- Set some timetable/goal for producing output, some set of drafts,
possible competing ones, that will be presented at some definite meeting in
the future.

-- Let the sparks fly.

:-)

We do the additional step as in Point-to-Multipoint:

                o   For each fully adjacent neighbor associated with the
                    interface, add an additional Type 1 link (point-to-
                    point) with Link ID set to the Router ID of the
                    neighboring router, Link Data set to the IP
                    interface address and cost equal to the interface's
                    configured output cost.

This probably should be clarified further in the draft in section 12--
basically, on a wireless subnet, once neighbors get to state 2-Way
(seeing themselves in each other's Hellos) they are considered "fully
adjacent" from the perspective of generating LSAs (since they skip
database exchange) and can advertise Type 1 links between them. =20
