Below, I am reposting a message to Tom Henderson that I previously
posted on the MANET list on Dec 22, in an effort to continue this
discussion on the OSPF list.  (I previously posted a link to
this message, but the link is not permanent and thus would
not result in the message being properly archived.)

Tom,

Please see my comments below.

Right. OSPF allows LSA ACKs to be delayed, and the technique of
grouping several LSA ACKs into a single packet is mentioned in
Section 13.5 of RFC 2328, so this would not require an extension
to the standard, but perhaps a recommendation should be added
that this technique SHOULD be used on manet interfaces.

 >transmission.  Further, it could perhaps be extended as Fred
 >Baker has previously suggested that reflooding of an LSA can

RFC 2328 also allows implicit ACKs, so this also would not require an
extension. But there is still the question of whether implicit ACKs
should be used on manet interfaces. It probably wouldn't hurt,
but it wouldn't help much either, since only a small percentage of
nodes will forward LSAs (e.g., CDS nodes or MPRs).

 >main implementation cost seems to be to maintain and update
 >the moving average for each LSA.

I think this cost is negligible, since each LSA must be processed
anyway (and updating a moving average requires only a few
additions and multiplications).  It would be interesting to
determine the best values for the smoothing constant, hysteresis
thresholds (for deciding whether to suppress ACKs), and the ACK
delay when ACKs are not suppressed.

 >>Actually, I think the reliable flooding mechanism described in

 >Agreed.  It would be interesting to see how far one could get

I agree.  But if reliable flooding is used, there still needs to
be a database exchange between adjacent neighbors.  As discussed
in my draft this exchange could occur between each CDS node and
each of its neighbors.  I suppose this could also be done between
each MPR and each of its neighbors, but this is not as
straightforward since each MPR is reponsible for relaying only
a subset of LSAs (which must somehow be defined).
So, to minimize the changes/additions to OSPF, the CDS approach
seems to be the best approach.

Hi there,

Can anyone please tell me what the length of following fields is in
RFC2740? It is difficult to determine them from the packet format in the
RFC and there seems not to be any description of them (I apology if I
missed them).

1. Section A.4.4 Network-LSAs

  "0", Options field (right after the LSA header)

2. Section A.4.5 Inter-Area-Prefix-LSAs

  "0", Metric field (right after the LSA header)

3. Section A.4.6 Inter-Area-Router-LSAs

  "0" ,Options field (right after the LSA header) and the following "0",
Metric field

Thanks in advance!

Zhang Shu

hi,

Section A.2. rfc 2740 describes the option field.
The option field in all the mentioned packets is 24-bits.
The metric field is also 24-bits.
The "0" occupies 8bits.

i configured a virtual link between router R2 and R3.
the cost for each interface is 10.

my doubt is at router R3 10.0.0.0 network route entry path type
should be INTER AREA or INTRA AREA.

according to RFC 2328 section 16.3
while doing Transit summary lsa calculation path type should remain
same INTRA AREA or INTER AREA found during calculation 16.1 and 16.2

i feel path type should be INTRA AREA though the path is through transit
area.

Kishore,

You are connect, it should be type intra-area. You might want to assure
the virtual adjacency is in the full state.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.  This draft is a work item of the Open Shortest Path First
IGP Working Group of the IETF.

        Title           : OSPF Version 2 Management Information Base
        Author(s)       : S. Giacalone, D. Joyal, R. Coltun, F. Baker
        Filename        : draft-ietf-ospf-mib-update-08.txt
        Pages           : 107
        Date            : 2004-1-6

This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-based internets.
In particular, it defines objects for managing the Open Shortest Path
First Routing Protocol.
This memo is intended to update and possibly obsolete RFC 1850,
however, it is designed to be backwards compatible. The functional
differences between this memo and RFC 1580 are explained in Appendix
B.
Please send comments to ospf@discuss.microsoft.com.

NOTE:   The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
        MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
        feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
        command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
        a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
        exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
        "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
        up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
        how to manipulate these messages.

Hi lakshmips,

Thank you very much for your reply!

I got another question: is there any effort in this wg to clarify this
issue or to make rfc2740 more correct? I think this problem can really
confuse devoplepers.

Regards,

Zhang Shu

Folks,

A new version of TA has been published

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-mirtorabi-ospf-tunnel-adjacenc
y-01.txt


There was some concerns regarding the recursive TA, discussed during the
last ietf meeting. We had some discussion with Acee and we decided that
the best way to prevent recursive TA is to allow only backbone to be the
transit area.

This still honor what TA was initially designed for, namely

1) Use Backbone area as high speed path for non-backbone area (
Intra-area / Inter-area preference )
2) Use automatic partition repair for non-backbone area when
summarization is performed
3) Use TA for multiple non-backbone area path and prevent the cost of
adding additional link ( e.g. Hub and Spoke topology)

This change will prevent TA to be used for backbone partition repair
however there is already a solution for this i.e. VL and having a
redundant solution is not required.


Comments are welcome,

Sina

Subject: TOS field removal in OSPF for IPv6
To: OSPF@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM
Precedence: list
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Dear OSPF-Group,
--------------------
I am working in a EU project called "Daidalos"
(http://www.ist-daidalos.org) and I am responsible for
routing stuff in fixed and ad-hoc network based on IPv6. For multipath
routing path decission I wanted to
use OSPF first with DS- field (TOS in IPv4)  tracking and later update
to IPv6 QOSPF (QoS based OSPF)
I just recognized the TOS based routing  has been removed in the OSPF
IPv6 specification .
I wanted to use this feature from OSPF v2 with some enhancements from
RFC2676  -
"QoS Routing Mechanisms and OSPF Extensions"  and port this to IPv6.
The routing protocol
should support path selection based on the service class of the
delivered content.

RFC2740:

"Type of Service (TOS) has been removed from
the OSPFv2 specification [Ref1], and is not encoded within OSPF for
IPv6's LSAs."

Are there any serious reasons why the OPSF WG has decited to remove
"Type of Service - routing" from OSPF for IPv6 ?


with regards

Olaf Menzel

Hi Olaf,

I guess the reason was that TOS routing was probably never used in =
production networks.

Is there any particular scenario in mind wrt mobility where TOS might be =
useful and current mechanisms dont suffice? Could you elaborate them for =
us?

Thanks,
Vishwas

Dear OSPF-Group,
--------------------
I am working in a EU project called "Daidalos"
(http://www.ist-daidalos.org) and I am responsible for
routing stuff in fixed and ad-hoc network based on IPv6. For multipath
routing path decission I wanted to
use OSPF first with DS- field (TOS in IPv4)  tracking and later update
to IPv6 QOSPF (QoS based OSPF)
I just recognized the TOS based routing  has been removed in the OSPF
IPv6 specification .
I wanted to use this feature from OSPF v2 with some enhancements from
RFC2676  -
"QoS Routing Mechanisms and OSPF Extensions"  and port this to IPv6.
The routing protocol
should support path selection based on the service class of the
delivered content.

RFC2740:

"Type of Service (TOS) has been removed from
the OSPFv2 specification [Ref1], and is not encoded within OSPF for
IPv6's LSAs."

Are there any serious reasons why the OPSF WG has decited to remove
"Type of Service - routing" from OSPF for IPv6 ?


with regards

Olaf Menzel

This was removed when OSPF v2 was being advanced on the standards track
because the WG could not find two interoperable implementations.  To phrase
it another way, it was not being implemented, not being used, and not being
requested, so we removed it.  WHen the OSPF for IPv6 work was being done no
effort was made to restore this as there was no driver to do so.

Yours,

Hi, i have some needs for that.

I have a network with different ISP (about 4).

Any of them prohibit traffic with sources IP different than they provide.

Here is my diagram:

A--B--C--ISP1
|  |  |
|  |  |
D--E--F--ISP2
|
|
ISP3

How to use all of accessible IP-spaces provided by ISP1,2,3 ?

My solution was to use ip-precendence/TOS for marking all traffic arriving
at any A,B,C...F router LAN interfaces - with 0x1 for ISP1, 0x2 for ISP2,
0x3 for ISP3.

Every C,D,F router distribute default route - router C distribute default
route 0x1 , D=0x3, F=0x2.

In such situation every incomming packet with different routes per
different TOS could exit from our IGP properly (to correct ISP).

I have problem in my network, i use the biggest ISP1 link in my IGP (OSPF),
any other ISP2,3 is used only at the router D or router F, without any
redistribution.

I can't see any other possibility of solving my problem within single IGP.

Sure, i can have different route-tags and several default routes, then
distribute them to different kernel-routing-tables, then put ingress
packets in correct tables at every hop.

What is the best solution for that?

I use zebra/quagga routing daemon and cisco's.

Menzel,

  There is no relation between IPv4 TOS and IPv6 traffic
  class. RFC 3260 overwrites both of the files for diffserv.

  The correct answer is, OSPFv2 is for IPv4. OSPFv2 once
  supported TOS based routing. OSPFv2 TOS routing is not
  standardized because of lack of implementation/deployment.
  More over, RFC 2676 is an experimental RFC.

  Coming to IPv6. There is no TOS field as such in IPv6
  header. There are {Traffic class, Flow label} in IPv6 header.
  At the time of IPv6 specification Traffic Class is almost same
  as TOS. But, it's real use was never defined precisely.
  That is why OSPFv3 never incorporated Traffic Class routing.

  After that, Diffserv changed semantics of IPv4 TOS and
  IPv6 TC fields couple of times. The recent one is in RFC 3260.

  Coming to MPLS for IPv4. Yes. There is a similar TOS routing
  in MPLS. Look at:
  http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-tewg-te-metric-igp-02.txt
  The difference are very subtle and indirect. But, IPv4 TOS
  routing and MPLS routing with different IGP metrics are one
  and the same.

  My final suggestion is: if you are doing some experimentation
  and/or deployment of a network with out any interoperability
  issues (i.e., for example, if you run whole network with your
  own box) then go ahead with your proprietary extensions to
  OSPF over IPv6 TC routing (just like OSPF over IPv4 TOS routing).
  If successful and possible, spin a named draft. Hope that will
  be considered by IETF (like RFC 2676).

The approach cited above works for at most two TOS-based metrics. =20
However, there doesn't appear to be a more general OSPFv3 mechanism=20
for assigning different metrics to different traffic classes, to=20
effect policy routing based on service classes (the problem that=20
started this thread).

Ok, you are right (in math),  but the difference is that we need to support
MPLS (more troubles)

In my case much simplier would be to use ipv4 TOS field and different TOS
routes for different own policies /external routes/source routing/ but i
can't find it working on my linux .

I don't understand here clearly.  Have you really
implemented solution above in your network? or you
just set up traffic classification on router to ISP1
and redirect those traffic with IP from ISP2 ( ISP3)
to appropriate router?  If so, that does not relate to
OSPF.

I'm not familiar with zebra, but in cisco OSPF FAQ it
states:
"
Q: Does the Cisco OSPF implementation support IP
TOS-based routing?

A: Cisco OSPF only supports TOS 0. This means that
routers route all packets on the TOS 0 path,
eliminating the need to calculate non-zero TOS paths.
"

I don't know wether your network is one with hundreds
of routers, if it just consist of less than 10 router
policy based routing could be set up easily at each
router. And, it could be easily set up two or more
optional routes for each destination.


To ToS based routing in OSPF, I don't think it should
be based on ToS/"traffic class" but to based on DSCP
which is under hot discussion now.

Hi,

I've a question related to the first application of TA, i.e., use backbone
area as high speed path for non-backbone area. In my opinion, the reason of
using TA to do this is that, in OSPF intra-area path is preferred over
inter-area path.

My question is, what will happen if we remove the preference? When there are
one intra-area path and one inter-area path to the same destination, we
choose one by comparing their metrics. Is there any serious consequence?

Thank you.

Since the summary cost is based on the intra-area cost theoretically you
should not have a routing loop however there are few problems

- All routers must behave the same which means that you have a backward
compatibility problem to resolve as otherwise you encounter routing
loops

- When you summarize you will hide detail cost information and can
easily go back to routing loop. For example imagine that you want to go
from R1 to R2 in area 1 and have both intra-area and Inter-area path.
When you chose your Inter-area path and send the packet via backbone, If
the backbone routers receive only summary for area 1 then the path can
go back to the ABR that R1 chose to send the packet in first place and
you have a routing loop

Hi,

I've constructed an example according to your description about routing loop
caused by summarization.

          ---
      5---|w|---5
       |  ---  |
       |       |
      ---     ---
======|x|=====|y|=====
      ---     ---
       |       |
       |  ---  |
     20---|t|---5
          ---

In this graph, '=' is the border of area. Above the border is area 0, below
it is area 1. x and y are ABRs. Link costs are depicted in the graph.

Case 1: no range is configured in x and y.

In this case, x advertises summary-LSA with destination t and metric 20. y
advertises summary-LSA with destination t and metric 5. Thus, x has an
intra-area route to t with cost 20, and an inter-area route to t with cost
15. x chooses the inter-area route. w chooses inter-area route to t throught
y. So, there is no routing loop.

Case 2: a range m is configure in y. m covers t.

In this case, x has an intra-area route to t, and an inter-area route to m.
When forward packet destined to t, x chooses the intra-area route according
to the longest match rule. So, there is no routing loop.

Thus, in my opionion, there is no routing loop, but still suboptimal
routing.

What's your opinion about this?

Thank you.

->Hi,

->I've constructed an example according to your description
->about routing loop caused by summarization.

->In this graph, '=' is the border of area. Above the border is
->area 0, below it is area 1. x and y are ABRs. Link costs are
->depicted in the graph.
->
->Case 1: no range is configured in x and y.
->
->In this case, x advertises summary-LSA with destination t and
->metric 20. y advertises summary-LSA with destination t and
->metric 5. Thus, x has an intra-area route to t with cost 20,
->and an inter-area route to t with cost 15. x chooses the
->inter-area route. w chooses inter-area route to t throught y.
->So, there is no routing loop.


Yes, As I said since the cost of the summary is based on intra-area cost
you should not have routing loop

->
->Case 2: a range m is configure in y. m covers t.
->
->In this case, x has an intra-area route to t, and an
->inter-area route to m. When forward packet destined to t, x
->chooses the intra-area route according to the longest match
->rule. So, there is no routing loop.
->
->Thus, in my opionion, there is no routing loop, but still
->suboptimal routing.

Actually if you summarize you would install a discard route and ignore
the remote summary in that case you would only have an intra-area path

Any way the main idea is to create a path through backbone _visible_ to
internal routers in the non-backbone area. Since the ABR will not
generate summary back to the internal area, the Inter-area path is only
visible to border routers and not very useful to internal routers...

Opps - I believe I missed a phase here. The subject document will be subm=
itted
to the routing area ADs for evaluation prior to the full IESG. Sorry for =
the
confusion.

All,

The IETF WG pages seem to have reverted to a copy from November.
Can somebody let them know something is wrong?

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Open Shortest Path First IGP Working Group of the IETF.

        Title           : Using an LSA Options Bit to Prevent Looping in BGP/MPLS IP VPNs
        Author(s)       : E. Rosen
        Filename        : draft-ietf-ospf-2547-dnbit-03.txt
        Pages           : 8
        Date            : 2004-1-15

This document specifies a procedure that deals with a particular
issue that may arise when a Service Provider (SP) provides 'BGP/MPLS
IP VPN' service to a customer, and the customer uses OSPF to
advertise its routes to the SP.  In this situation, a Customer Edge
(CE) Router and a Provider Edge (PE) Router are OSPF peers, and
customer routes are sent via OSPF from the CE to the PE.  The
customer routes are converted into BGP routes, and BGP carries them
across the backbone to other PE routers.  The routes are then
converted back to OSPF routes sent via OSPF to other CE routers.  As
a result of converting the routes from OSPF to BGP and back to OSPF,
some of the information needed to prevent loops may be lost.  A
procedure is needed to ensure that once a route is sent from a PE to
a CE, the route will be ignored by any PE which receives it back from
a CE.  This document specifies the necessary procedure, using one of
the options bits in the LSA (Link State Advertisements) to indicate
that an LSA has already been forwarded by a PE, and should be ignored
by any other PEs that see it.

NOTE:   The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
        MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
        feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
        command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
        a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
        exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
        "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
        up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
        how to manipulate these messages.


Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.

Subject: Proposal for OSPF MANET Extensions Design Points
To: OSPF@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM
Precedence: list
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

I believe that for the foreseeable future the vast majority of
networks will be fixed (although they may support wireless hosts).
Based on this belief and the fact that what is being proposed for
MANET is very different from base OSPFv3 I'd like to propose the
following design points for the work:

    1. A fixed network OSPFv3 implementation shouldn't require
       changes to fully interoperate with an OSPFv3 implementation
       supporting the MANET extensions.
    2. The MANET extensions should be limited to wireless interfaces (or
       whatever level of segregation we end up with).
    3. As much as possible, an OSPFv3 implementation with the MANET
       extensions should be a proper subset of an OSPFv3 implementation
       without the extensions. In other words, we should be extremely
       suspect of changes to basic OSPFv3 mechanisms.

Thanks,

  I don't know whether my proposal has already been suggested.
  Here it is: If OSPFv3 changes to support MANET is so harmful
  for existing fixed OSPFv3 operation. And if MANET thinks that
  OSPF is a suitable protocol for their requirements, then it
  will be a good idea to start OSPFv4 targeted only to support
  IPv6 MANET requirements.

  In such a case, OSPFv4 will satisfy all the above design
  requirements proposed by you. Everybody will be happy.
  What is your opinion ?

Venkata.

>=20

I agree with 1 and 2.  As for 3, extensions cannot be a proper subset
by definition (perhaps "superset" is intended?).  While I sympathize=20
with the last sentence of 3, I think that being too conservative in
the possible design of the extensions will constrain the achievable
performance.  I would rather state that "For the MANET extensions,=20
departures from basic OSPFv3 mechanisms should be justified by suitable=20
performance benefits."

I'm not convinced we need a new protocol at this point. There are
a number of disadvantages of a new protocol including 1) Migration
of fixed networks in environments containing both MANET and
fixed nodes 2) Dual protocol maintenance for new features (standards,
development, deployment).

I guess this is where the "as much as possible" comes in. It would be
nice if it looks like a single protocol with an extension for MANET rather
than two protocols that have been munged together.

I agree with Acee and Thomas regarding points 1 and 2,
and I agree with Thomas regarding point 3.
The extension should include all mechanisms of OSPFv3,
but some of the mechanisms must be modified to
support multi-hop (ad hoc) wireless interfaces.
I agree that OSPFv3 mechanisms should be changed only
when necessary, or if the change results in a substantial
improvement in performance.

The main need is to support the multi-hop wireless interface type,
whether or not the routers are mobile.
Since OSPF already supports topology changes, this will also
support mobile routers, although some additional changes may
be needed to do this more efficiently.
I think it is good to support mobile routers, since these can exist
in vehicle networks, robot networks, military networks, etc.

I think the extensions that I proposed
  draft-ogier-manet-ospf-extension-00.txt
satisfy points 1 and 2, and also minimize the changes to OSPF.
This may also be true for the other proposal
  draft-spagnolo-manet-ospf-wireless-interface-00
but as I discussed previously, the latter proposal has more
changes than are necessary.

In particular, my proposal allows an OSPF area to include both
non-MANET routers running unmodified OSPFv3, and MANET routers
running the extended OSPF. A router with no MANET interface
runs unmodified OSPFv3, but can have a neighbor that runs
the extended OSPF.

The main extension that is needed to support MANET interfaces
is to generalize the concept of a Designated Router to
support multi-hop wireless networks.  As I have discussed,
a simple and natural extension is to use a connected
dominating set (CDS).  Each node of the CDS is a generalized DR
(called "overlapping relay" in Fred Baker's presentation).
An adjacency would then be formed only between CDS nodes and
their neighbors.

In addition, as I have stated (see my message of January 6), it is
possible to suppress ACKs for LSAs that are updated frequently,
to reduce overhead when topology changes are frequent.
This is a very simple modification to OSPFv3, and in fact, since
ACKs can be delayed anyway, it might not require any change
to the spec.

I also proposed a more efficient mechanism for reliable flooding,
based on periodic Database Description packets, but whether such
a change is justified depends on the network parameters (mobility,
bandwidth, etc) that we want to support.

Well, it is possible to do nothing at all, if one is dead-set against
mechanism changes-- that is why I am suggesting that proposals be
considered also on the merits of their performance benefits, because
at least some mechanisms will need to be modified, otherwise
we wouldn't really need the extensions and could tweak timers, etc.

At the last IETF, the tunnel adjacency draft was presented and
we agreed to take the discussion to the list as to whether or not
it is an item OSPF WG should pursue.

We've also discussed a subset proposal that only addresses the
requirement of allowing a single interface to be configured in
multiple OSPF areas between ABRs (Pat Murphy's initial requirement).

Our proposal also satisfies 1 and 2.

If this is indeed borne out, then I would support an alternative
that performed as well or better with fewer changes to OSPF.
I think it remains to be seen whether your I-D results in
a design with more or fewer changes.  As I've said, it's worth
studying as an alternative approach (we and, I hope, others are=20
looking at it more closely), and I think that the ideas=20
are promising, but it is not yet a complete proposal IMO.=20

It is *certainly* not a complete proposal, as the draft states and I
have stated.
It is an informal proposal that discusses and recommends a few alternative
approaches.  For example, it recommends using a CDS, but does not say
exactly
how the CDS nodes are selected (not to mention the backup CDS nodes).
I think we need to discuss design issues/choices before specifying a
complete
solution in detail.

I'm glad you are considering some of the ideas from my draft.  That's
what it is for,
since I don't plan to turn it into a complete spec by myself.
I plan to update the draft in the next few weeks, to focus more on a single
approach and to provide some more details.   I look forward to seeing other
proposed solutions (e.g., from Fred Baker) and to discussing the different
solutions that are proposed.

Richard

I agree with Acee here and on the 3 points.=20

Venkata, isn't the reason we are trying to use OSPF because its deployed =
and well understood? We could have used OLSR/TBRPF or something similar =
otherwise.

I'm not convinced we need a new protocol at this point. There are
a number of disadvantages of a new protocol including 1) Migration
of fixed networks in environments containing both MANET and
fixed nodes 2) Dual protocol maintenance for new features (standards,
development, deployment).

Hello,

This is just an FYI.

Last October, a Last Call was sent to TEWG, MPLS, ISIS and OSPF on
<draft-ietf-tewg-diff-te-proto-05>.
The document was then progressed to IESG Review.

As part of the IESG Review, it was pointed out that the description of
"Bandwidth Constraints" sub-TLV (within the "Link TLV" of the Traffic
Engineering LSA) did not properly reflect the ususal 32-bit alignment.

Accordingly, the description of the sub-TLV has been updated to
explicitely include a "Reserved" field for 32-bit alignment. The updated
description can be found in the latest version of the document i.e.
<draft-ietf-tewg-diff-te-proto-06> which addresses all the IESG Review
comments (just posted so it may take a day or so before it is visible on
the IETF server).

Cheers

Francois

I agree that a design with fewer changes to OSPF is preferable if
it results in similar or better performance.

Based on your positive comments regarding the idea
(from Section 5 of draft-ogier-manet-ospf-extension-00.txt)
of dynamically deciding when to suppress ACKs for a particular
LSA based on how frequently the LSA is being updated
(using an exponential moving average and hysteresis),
I assume that you agree that suppressing ACKs in
this manner is a good way to achieve periodic, unreliable
flooding of LSAs (whether this is done for all LSAs or only
for LSAs that are being updated frequently).

Therefore, this supports my claim that the Link State Flood
(LSF) message that you introduce in your solution is not
required.  In other words, before adding new message types,
you should try to use existing OSPF mechanisms as much
as possible.  Your LSF message contains a new "flooding
sequence number" to detect duplicates, but OSPF already
detects duplicate LSAs using the LS sequence number.

In an effort to make some progress, I would like to
focus on this aspect of your solution (the LSF message)
and try to reach an agreement on whether or not
the LSF message is required.

I can think of two other reasons why the LSF message might
be needed. One of these is given in Step 2.1 in Section 13.1
of your draft, where the "default route bit" of the LSF
is set to indicate a default route (to avoid flooding
outside LSAs within a stub wireless network).
However, as we discussed and agreed on the MANET list,
the same effect can be accomplished by using an OSPF stub area
as specified in Section 12.4.3.1 of RFC 2328.

Another possible need for the LSF message is to perform flooding
via MPRs, since an LSF is forwarded only if it was received from
an MPR selector. There are two questions:

1. Do we want to use MPRs to flood LSAs?
2. If the answer is yes, then can MPR flooding of LSAs
   be done without using the LSF message?

I am proposing that LSAs be flooding using a connected
dominating set (CDS) rather than MPRs, because it is simpler
and closer to OSPF: each CDS node is responsible for
forwarding all LSAs, whereas each MPR would be reponsible for
forwarding only a subset of LSAs which must somehow be defined.

But if one still wanted to use MPRs to flood LSAs, it is possible
to do so without using LSF messages, either by remembering
whether a given LSA was received from an MPR selector,
or by defining the set of LSAs that a given MPR is responsible
for forwarding as described in my draft.  (In this case, periodic,
unreliable flooding can be accomplished by suppressing ACKs
as mentioned above.)

"I think it is a promising idea" !=3D "I agree that it is better".
We're presently studying this specific issue more carefully
to understand exactly how and how well it might work.
Are you not doing the same, or have you already convinced
yourself?  Do you intend to prepare a more complete proposal
on how the timers are adjusted?

The LS sequence number is not sufficient to prevent=20
multi-hop broadcast messages from recirculating.  They are=20
tied to the LSAs.  LSF sequence numbers are tied to the=20
originator's IP address.

I agree that CDS is an alternative to MPRs.  As Philippe pointed
out previously, MPRs are related to CDS.  If CDS provides a cleaner
complete implementation, then I would be for it.  I haven't seen
the complete picture yet, though.

I'm glad you are studying this issue.  I have studied it sufficiently to
convince myself
there is no need to introduce a new message type.  Once you convince
yourself that
OSPF will perform periodic, unreliable flooding if ACKs are suppressed,
it is not
difficult to see that LSF messages are not needed (after considering the
other
points in my message) and are not likely to improve performance very much.

I have no reason to consider adding a new message type unless there is
reason to
believe it will improve performance significantly, and I see no reason
why it would
improve performance significantly. Can you give me such a reason?
Since we are trying to minimize changes to OSPF, I guess the burden of
proof is
on the person proposing to change OSPF (assuming that the change is
not really necessary but might improve performance).

>Do you intend to prepare a more complete proposal
>on how the timers are adjusted?

Yes, but you are welcome to do this too.  It is fairly straightforward
(based on
exponential moving averages) but there are some alternative design choices.
For example, RFC 2328 (A.3.5) says that retransmitted LSAs are always
unicast
to each neighbor that did not ACK, but in a MANET it is probably better to
multicast retransmitted LSAs to all neighbors if several neighbors did
not ACK.
If we come up with the same design, that would be fine.  Otherwise, it will
be nice to have alternative designs to compare and eventually merge into
a single design.

But each LSA contains the LS sequence number *and* the advertising router
(originator). Can you explain or give an example to show that the LS
sequence
number is not sufficient to prevent LSAs from recirculating?  I am
really just talking
about the way OSPF already does flooding, so this should not be a problem.
I guess you are talking about your flooding mechanism using the LSF message,
but my point is that LSF messages are not needed.

If LSAs are broadcast periodically, and unacknowledged, then a node
may have to forward the identical LSA again (to send it downstream
to a node that may not have received it successfully the first time).
It cannot tell by inspection of the normal LSU (without sequence
number) whether this is a new LSU to be forwarded or an instance
of one that it has already forwarded.

If dissemination is reliable, then LSF is not needed.  The premise
of OLSR was that periodic unreliable dissemination was more transmission
efficient than reliable dissemination with acking (at a certain
mobility point, the performance benefits transition from reliable
to unreliable flooding).  In looking at how OSPFv2 behaves with or
without the wireless interface type, we have observed this behavior.
It would be nice if we had a hybrid mode of operation to account for
both stable and rapidly varying networks-- that is why the mechanism
you sketched out in sec. 5 of your draft is appealing.  But we would
like to make sure that there are no unanticipated downsides to that
mechanism before jumping on board with it.

The LSU just carries LSAs one hop further from the originator. OSPF inspects
the LSA (with sequence number) to determine if it is a duplicate.
 Again, I am really
just talking about how OSPF already floods LSAs, with some minor
modifications
(but without requiring the new LSF packet type).   In OSPF, a router
retransmits
an LSA (to neighbors) after RxmtInterval if no ACK is received.  This is
the basis
of the idea I sketched in Section 5 of my draft (which also discusses
how a router
decides when to suppress ACKs).  The point I am making is that the LSF
message
is not required  in order to achieve periodic, unreliable flooding.
 (Whether it
improves performance is another question that can be studied.) And the
reason is
that OSPF correctly performs periodic, unreliable flooding (although not
in the
same manner as your method with LSF messages) if ACKs are supressed.

My point is that LSF is not needed even if unreliable flooding is used,
as discussed above.

I completely agree that it needs to be studied further to make sure
there are no
unexpected downsides.  But the only point I am trying to make now is
that the LSF
message is not *required* in order to achieve periodic, unreliable
flooding of LSAs.

OK, I agree with your argument.  I was arguing from the perspective that
if you have multi-hop broadcast, you need a sequence number.  When using
MPRs, you want to have a multi-hop broadcast dissemination, or else you=20
need to start tagging LSAs and remembering the last-hop nodes that=20
forwarded them to you (and comparing against the MPR selector lists =
which
may change over time) before deciding whether you are keeping them on =
the
retransmission list-- we found it easier to use a multi-hop broadcast =
message
in that case.  Another reason we found the LSF useful was that it =
allowed
the LSA originator to control the retransmission frequency based on the=20
source of the LSA-- LSAs from outside the subnet could be retransmitted =
at=20
a lower frequency to save on overhead.  It also allows you to flood a=20
default without configuring it as a stub area, as you pointed out =
earlier. =20
If CDS is used for efficient broadcast instead of MPR, and adopting your =

proposed scheme, then LSF may no longer be needed.  =20

Hi,
        Since TOS field is removed in OSPFv3, OSPF Area Default Metric Table is
removed from OSPFv3 mib. Instead 'ospfv3StubMetric' is added to
Ospfv3AreaTable. Any specific reason for not considering Metric Type field
(ospfStubMetricType). This type variable is required for setting different
metric type for NSSA and Stub area.

Vanitha N.

Vanitha,

Sounds like it would be reasonable to add ospfv3StubMetricType
similar to ospfStubMetricType.

Vishwas - how does this sound?

Hi Acee/Vanitha,

It sounds reasonable. I will add the following: -

ospfv3AreaStubMetricType ->

    ospfv3AreaStubMetricType OBJECT-TYPE=20
         SYNTAX       INTEGER {=20
                         ospfv3Metric (1),  -- OSPF Metric=20
                         comparableCost (2), -- external type 1=20
                         nonComparable  (3) -- external type 2=20
                         }=20
         MAX-ACCESS   read-create=20
         STATUS       current=20
         DESCRIPTION=20
            "This variable displays the type of metric ad-=20

         DEFVAL { ospfv3Metric }=20
         ::=3D { ospfv3AreaEntry 15 }

Besides changing the names=20

ospfv3SpfRuns =3D>> ospfv3AreaSpfRuns and=20
ospfv3StubMetric =3D>> ospfv3AreaStubMetric

Besides for ospfStubAreaEntry the DESCRIPTION would need to be updated =

Hi Acee/Vanitha,

It sounds reasonable. I will add the following: -

ospfv3AreaStubMetricType ->

    ospfv3AreaStubMetricType OBJECT-TYPE=20
         SYNTAX       INTEGER {=20
                         ospfv3Metric (1),  -- OSPF Metric=20
                         comparableCost (2), -- external type 1=20
                         nonComparable  (3) -- external type 2=20
                         }=20
         MAX-ACCESS   read-create=20
         STATUS       current=20
         DESCRIPTION=20
            "This variable displays the type of metric ad-=20

         DEFVAL { ospfv3Metric }=20
         ::=3D { ospfv3AreaEntry 15 }

Besides changing the names=20

ospfv3SpfRuns =3D>> ospfv3AreaSpfRuns and=20
ospfv3StubMetric =3D>> ospfv3AreaStubMetric

Thanks,

Vanitha,

Sounds like it would be reasonable to add ospfv3StubMetricType
similar to ospfStubMetricType.

Vishwas - how does this sound?

Here my spare change after reading the drafts hanging out to dry and having
thought about the issue for a while. The  hat I'm putting on is that of
a vendor
having a stable implementation with large deployments in the field and
being
interested in least painfull customer adaptation (not necessarily my current
job situation but from experience the best hat to assure wide-adoption of a
work like this in the field, the metric of success I perceive as the most
practical one for IETF.).

(i) Don't make it a separate protocol. It will duplicate the amount of
code around,
    be close-enough to ospf to be confused with it but on the other hand
not-ospf so
    people using ospf concepts to talk about it will end up confused by
subtle differences
    in the way it works.
    This kind of confusion mirrors itself in
configurations/architectures and
    resulting networks. And of course, spinning out a new protocols
    will take much, much longer than any
    of the parties putting forward such a proposal dare to admit it will.
(ii) I think any resulting solution will change the flooding procedures
in very non-trivial ways,
    therefore I am against an 'interface'-type.
    Pretty much all interface types share the flooding code in any
implementation  I saw
    and mudding with it that heavily will cause deployment problems
    with existing/deployed interface types. Even if the spec is clear
and concise, implementing
    and testing flooding changes on a large scale is very risky. I would
suggest that
    having an 'manet-area' like an nssa-area is the best solution. It
leaves for existing
    implementations an easy option to not implement such an area type,
the option to
    implement different flooding code based on area type (subtle but
important difference
    from having a flooding code  per interface type). An area is
    easily containted deployment wise (so if manet changes cause
troubles, it will
    be area contained), it will be much easier to debug/correctly
interoperate than an area
    with mixture of
    manet and non-manet interfaces since the translation on area
boundary will allow to
    track/isolate problems caused by flooding within manet.
    The manet area could be done as 'some-other-area-type'
    like nssa-area or as superset of standard ospf area so e.g. manet
area could have a completely
    new lsa type, rather than trying to trick manet work into existing
types or heavily use
    opaques which one could argue is not a very elegant solution.

    thanks

There hasn't been much discussion this document. Has anybody
implemented it?

One thing I think needs to be removed or elaborated is the
applicability to OSPFv2 (described how the new TLV and
sub-TLV would be used  in OSPFv2).

Hello,

If the user has not configured anything - what is the generally accepted
default preference in most implementations - should the configured default
route take precedence or the learned (OSPF) default route?

I believe Cisco uses the static (configured) default route over the learned
default route - how do others handle it?

Hi Abhijit,

We, Redback, also will prefer a static route over an OSPF learned route. I
think this is the right default since the static route is explicit.  We
do allow the preference (aka, administrative distance) to be configured for
individual static routes. Additionally, we'll install the a backup OSPF external
route (default or otherwise) even if we are advertising an external route
ourselves and let the defaulted or configued route preferences sort themselves
out in RIB. If we install an OSPF intra or inter area route, we will discontinue
advertising an OSPF external route. I think this approach offers the most
flexibility.

Thanks,
Acee

This is an interesting possibility.  Although you cite some

3COM (and now Motorola) routers also prefer static routes over OSPF learned routes. However, there is an option to configure a static route such that the OSPF learned route takes precedence.

Hi Abhijit,

We, Redback, also will prefer a static route over an OSPF learned route. I think this is the right default since the static route is explicit.  We do allow the preference (aka, administrative distance) to be configured for individual static routes. Additionally, we'll install the a backup OSPF external route (default or otherwise) even if we are advertising an external route ourselves and let the defaulted or configued route preferences sort themselves out in RIB. If we install an OSPF intra or inter area route, we will discontinue advertising an OSPF external route. I think this approach offers the most flexibility.

Thanks,
Acee

Folks,

A new version of address-family draft is available. The diffs are

o Section 3, Instance ID range has been updated

o Section 8, for IPv4 AF nexthop calculation, an IPv4 address will be
advertised in "link-local address filed" of Link-LSA. Previously this
address was advertised in prefix field with LA-bit set.

o Section 9, adds the support of OSPFv3 over IPv4

o Section 10, VL support has been updated


Thanks
Sina

        Title           : Support of address families in OSPFv3
        Author(s)       : S. Mirtorabi

        Date            : 2004-1-28

This document describes a mechanism for supporting multiple address
families in OSPFv3 using multiple instances. It maps an address family
(AF) to an OSPFv3 instance using the Instance ID field in the OSPFv3
packet header. This approach is fairly simple and minimizes extensions
to OSPFv3 for supporting multiple AF's.

        Title           : Enhancements to OSPF Graceful Restart for
Heterogeneous Environments
        Author(s)       : S. Kini
        Filename        : draft-kini-ospf-gr-enhance-00.txt
        Pages           : 16
        Date            : 2004-1-23

Reliability is a fundamental concern for the network. As a solution
   to improve network stability, the non-stop forwarding paradigm
   depends on protocol recovery based on graceful restart techniques.
   One of the proposed graceful restart techniques for [OSPF], a widely
   deployed IGP, is described in [OSPF-GR]. This technique has a
   limitation of not being backward compatible, in the sense that if a
   neighbor does not support the helper mode described in [OSPF-GR],
   the graceful-restart procedure will fail (i.e., revert to normal
   restart). For large multi-vendor networks, this scenario is fairly
   common. In this draft, we describe techniques that can achieve OSPF
   graceful restart even if a neighboring router does not support the
   helper-mode of [OSPF-GR].

NOTE:   The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
        MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
        feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
        command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
        a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
        exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
        "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
        up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
        how to manipulate these messages.


Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Open Shortest Path First IGP Working Group of the IETF.

        Title           : Graceful OSPF Restart Implementation Report
        Author(s)       : A. Lindem
        Filename        : draft-ietf-ospf-graceful-impl-report-01.txt

Graceful OSPF Restart provides a mechanism whereby an OSPF router
can stay on the forwarding path even as its OSPF software is
restarted. This document provides an implementation report for
this extension to the base OSPF protocol.

This draft was presented at the last IETF and we
discussed making it an OSPF WG document. Is
there any further discussion. I'd propose that we
make it a WG document.

Thanks,
Acee
