   The objective of Pre-Congestion Notification (PCN) is to protect the
   quality of service (QoS) of inelastic flows within a Diffserv domain.
   On every link in the PCN domain, the overall rate of the PCN-traffic
   is metered, and PCN-packets are appropriately marked when certain
   configured rates are exceeded.  Egress nodes provide decision points
   with information about the PCN-marks of PCN-packets which allows them
   to take decisions about whether to admit or block a new flow request,
   and to terminate some already admitted flows during serious pre-
   congestion.

   The PCN Working Group explored a number of approaches for encoding
   this pre-congestion information into the IP header.  This document
   provides details of all those approaches along with an explanation of
   the constraints that had to be met by any solution.

   Precongestion notification (PCN) is a means for protecting quality of
   service for inelastic traffic admitted to a Diffserv domain. The
   overall PCN architecture is described in RFC 5559. This memo
   describes the requirements for the signaling applied within the PCN
   domain: (1) PCN-feedback-information is carried from the PCN-egress-
   node to the decision point;(2) the decision point may ask the PCN-
   ingress-node to measure, and report back, the rate of sent PCN-
   traffic between that PCN-ingress-node and PCN-egress-node. The
   decision point may be either collocated with the PCN-ingress-node or
   a centralized node (in the first case, (2) is not required). The
   signaling requirements pertain in particular to two edge behaviors,
   "controlled load (CL)" and "single marking (SM)".

Georgios: I think that we have written something else than what we meant!
What we actually written is solution oriented and should be modified, pleas=
e see below:
Thus section 2.1 is removed.
"2.1 Specification of PCN-Flow Identifiers
     The representation of a PCN-flow identifier depends on the
     surrounding environment, e.g., pure IP, MPLS, GMPLS, etc.
     Examples of such PCN-flow identifier representations can be found in  =
[RFC2205], [RFC3175]  =20
    [RFC3209], [RFC3473], [RFC4804].
    In pure IP networks, the identifier may consist of a subset of the
     following information:
     o  source IP address;
     o  destination IP address
     o  protocol identifier and higher layer (port) addressing
     o  flow label (typical for IPv6)
     o  SPI field for IPsec encapsulated data
     o  DSCP/TOS field
     Note, where a PCN-flow consists of a collection of microflows, then
     the PCN-flow is identified by the PCN-ingress-node's and PCN-egress-
     node's identifiers (typically their IP addresses), which are already
     part of the report."

 The following paragraph is introduced instead!
 "As described in [draft-ietf-pcn-cl-edge-behaviour], PCN reports=20
from the PCN-egress-node to the decision point may contain flow identifiers=
 for Individual flows within an ingress-egress-aggregate that have recently=
 experienced excess-marking. Hence,  the PCN report messages used by the PC=
N CL edge behaviour MUST be capable of carrying sequences of octet strings =
constituting such identifiers."

Georgios: Agree with the observation. This text will be changed INTO:
Signaling messages SHOULD have a higher priority and a lower drop precedenc=

Georgios: We meant PCN-packets, see [RFC5559]:
"o  PCN-traffic, PCN-packets, PCN-BA: a PCN-domain carries traffic of
      different Diffserv behaviour aggregates (BAs) [RFC2474].  The

Georgios: I agree, we removed Section 2.1, see below:

"2.1 Specification of PCN-Flow Identifiers
     The representation of a PCN-flow identifier depends on the
     surrounding environment, e.g., pure IP, MPLS, GMPLS, etc.
     Examples of such PCN-flow identifier representations can be found in  =
[RFC2205], [RFC3175]  =20
    [RFC3209], [RFC3473], [RFC4804].
    In pure IP networks, the identifier may consist of a subset of the
     following information:
     o  source IP address;
     o  destination IP address
     o  protocol identifier and higher layer (port) addressing
     o  flow label (typical for IPv6)
     o  SPI field for IPsec encapsulated data
     o  DSCP/TOS field
     Note, where a PCN-flow consists of a collection of microflows, then
     the PCN-flow is identified by the PCN-ingress-node's and PCN-egress-
     node's identifiers (typically their IP addresses), which are already
     part of the report."

 The following paragraph is introduced instead!
 "As described in [draft-ietf-pcn-cl-edge-behaviour], PCN reports=20
from the PCN-egress-node to the decision point may contain flow identifiers=
 for Individual flows within an ingress-egress-aggregate that have recently=
 experienced excess-marking. Hence,  the PCN report messages used by the PC=
N CL edge behaviour MUST be capable of carrying sequences of octet strings =
constituting such identifiers."

   Precongestion notification (PCN) is a means for protecting quality of
   service for inelastic traffic admitted to a Diffserv domain. The
   overall PCN architecture is described in RFC 5559. This memo
   describes the requirements for the signaling applied within the PCN
   domain: (1) PCN-feedback-information is carried from the PCN-egress-
   node to the decision point;(2) the decision point may ask the PCN-
   ingress-node to measure, and report back, the rate of sent PCN-
   traffic between that PCN-ingress-node and PCN-egress-node. The
   decision point may be either collocated with the PCN-ingress-node or
   a centralized node (in the first case, (2) is not required). The
   signaling requirements pertain in particular to two edge behaviors,
   "controlled load (CL)" and "single marking (SM)".

Abstract


   The objective of Pre-Congestion Notification (PCN) is to protect the
   quality of service (QoS) of inelastic flows within a Diffserv domain.
   On every link in the PCN domain, the overall rate of the PCN-traffic
   is metered, and PCN-packets are appropriately marked when certain
   configured rates are exceeded.  Egress nodes provide decision points
   with information about the PCN-marks of PCN-packets which allows them
   to take decisions about whether to admit or block a new flow request,
   and to terminate some already admitted flows during serious pre-
   congestion.

   The PCN Working Group explored a number of approaches for encoding
   this pre-congestion information into the IP header.  This document
   provides details of all those approaches along with an explanation of
   the constraints that had to be met by any solution.

Abstract


   The objective of Pre-Congestion Notification (PCN) is to protect the
   quality of service (QoS) of inelastic flows within a Diffserv domain.
   The overall rate of the PCN-traffic is metered on every link in the
   PCN domain, and PCN-packets are appropriately marked when certain
   configured rates are exceeded.  Egress nodes pass information about
   these PCN-marks to decision points which then decide whether to admit
   or block new flow requests or to terminate some already-admitted
   flows during serious pre-congestion.

   This document specifies how PCN-marks are to be encoded into the IP
   header by re-using the Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN)
   codepoints within a PCN-domain.  This encoding provides for up to
   three different PCN marking states using a single DSCP: not-marked
   (NM), threshold-marked (ThM) and excess-traffic-marked (ETM).  Hence,
   it is called the 3-in-1 PCN encoding.  This document obsoletes
   RFC5696.

In Brian Carpenter's GenArt review of the CL edge behaviour draft (but 
applicable to SM too), he noted the occurrence of the phrase "notify 
management" suggested that may indicate holes in the PCN state machine. 
This phrase is actually used in just two places: when the Decision Point 
times out waiting for a report from a PCN-egress-node, and when it times 
out waiting for one from a PCN-ingress-node.

For the PCN-egress-node case, the suggested action up to now has been to 
stop admitting new flows to the affected ingress-egress-aggregates. This 
says nothing about packets belonging to already-admitted flows. Now that 
we are committed to using tunneling to define our 
ingress-egress-aggregates, this means that if the egress node is truly 
unreachable, the ingress nodes will get "Destination unreachable" 
notifications and will need to find alternative routes. That probably 
involves a request to the Decision Point for the alternatives, since the 
choice of egress node for particular flows is affected by business 
considerations.

As a result of this reasoning, I decided to cut the process short and 
have the Decision Point impose new policy immediately upon timeout. 
Hence the following change in text.

OLD:

    If timer t-recvFail expires for a given PCN-egress-node, the Decision
    Point SHOULD notify management.  A Decision Point collocated with a
    PCN-ingress-node SHOULD cease to admit PCN-flows to the ingress-
    egress-aggregate associated with the given PCN-egress-node, until it
    again receives a report from that node.  A centralized Decision Point
    MAY cease to admit PCN-flows to all ingress-egress-aggregates
    destined to the PCN-egress-node concerned, until it again receives a
    report from that node.

NEW:

    If timer t-recvFail expires for a given PCN-egress-node, the
    Decision Point SHOULD notify management. In addition, the
    Decision Point SHOULD modify policy on the PCN-ingress-nodes
    under its control so that arriving packets that would be
    classified into the affected ingress-egress-aggregates
    are classified into alternate ingress-egress-aggregates.
    The Decision Point SHOULD restore normal classification as
    soon as it receives a report from the delinquent PCN-egress-node.

       This action probably requires pre-planning and pre-configuration
       of acceptable alternate egress points in the Decision Point. If
       rerouting to an alternate egress point does occur, it carries
       the risk that the alternate ingress-egress-aggregates exceed
       their supportable rate, necessitating flow termination.

For the analogous case of an unresponsive PCN-ingress-node, I can't 
think of any action to be taken in the PCN-domain. The upstream network 
will be the one to find an alternate route.

Comments?

Michael, Tom,

don't we run the risk to replace a not well defined "notify management"
by a not well defined "alternate ingress-egress-aggregate"?

Do we have to recommend or discuss set up of an alternate IEA tunnel
in at least one of our documents?

Regards,

Ruediger

Hi R=FCdiger,

my understanding of Tom's interpretation of Brian's "hole in the state=20
machine" is that it is not clear what happens to the admitted PCN=20
traffic when PCN edge nodes seem not to be reachable anymore. Rerouting=20
seems a valid option to me.

Maybe we should know what Brian means with the "hole in the state=20
machine" in order to fix it?

Brian, can you help, please?

Best wishes,

     Michael

Could we add something like this at the beginning to make it clear:

If timer t-recvFail expires for a given PCN-egress node it is no longer =
clear whether that node can support the already-admitted IEAs. The =
precise behaviour in this case is a matter of policy but this document =
recommends the following:=20

I suppose I assumed all ingress nodes were already connected to all 
egress nodes, but you're right, that is not necessarily so. The whole 
thing is messy, because it is quite possible unreachability is already 
detected before the Decision Point times out and action has already been 
required. Of course, "SHOULD" covers the possibility that a switch to 
alternate egress point has already occurred. But that doesn't address 
your basic point.

I'll add discussion of setting up alternate tunnels in the Ops and 
Management section.

Brian can speak up on this, but it occurred to me after I sent my 
message that what he meant perhaps was what happened to flows that were 
not admitted. That's pretty basic, and I expect the architecture 
document discusses it, but I have to check.

Tom,

That is part of it; the other part is what the thread that has
'notified management' does next - I suppose it discards state
and terminates?

In any case, saying that it's locally defined rather than standardised
would be fine for me. When I make this sort of comment, I'm trying
to stand in the shoes of someone writing code who has nothing but
the RFC to go by. Saying that it's local policy is fine, because
then the implementer gets to decide.

Regards
   Brian Carpenter

The IESG has approved the following document:
- 'Requirements for Signaling of (Pre-) Congestion Information in a
   DiffServ Domain'
  (draft-ietf-pcn-signaling-requirements-08.txt) as an Informational RFC

This document is the product of the Congestion and Pre-Congestion
Notification Working Group.

The IESG contact persons are David Harrington and Wesley Eddy.

A URL of this Internet Draft is:
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pcn-signaling-requirements/




Technical Summary

PCN (RFC 5559) conveys pre-congestion information to an egress
router via in-band packet marking. This document defines the
requirements for signaling protocols that convey PCN feedback
information from a PCN egress router to a PCN decision point,
and between the decision point and a PCN ingress router (if they
are not co-located). The signaling requirements apply specifically
to the Single Marking [RFCXXXX] and Controlled Load PCN 
[RFCXXXX] edge behaviours.

Working Group Summary

The document was subject to thorough review by the PCN working
group, and strong consensus for publication was reached. 

Document Quality

As an Informational document, there are no implementations, 
but two companion documents are consistent with these signaling requirements.

The document shepherd expects that there are additional requirements
(e.g., congestion control) that are generic to any Internet
protocol, that are not explicitly captured in this draft, but
expects that as the working group begins to define (or adapt)
one or more signaling protocols, that these requirements will
be taken into account.

There are references to draft-ietf-pcn-cl-edge-behaviour (Controlled Load) and 
draft-pcn-sm-edge-behaviour (Single Marking), which have also been submitted for
publication.

Personnel

Document Shepherd: Steven Blake, PCN co-chair <slblake@petri-meat.com>
Responsible Area Director: David Harrington

RFC Editor Note

  Please insert the appropriate RFC#s in any announcements and in the abstract of the document.

   Pre-congestion notification (PCN) is a means for protecting the
   quality of service for inelastic traffic admitted to a Diffserv
   domain.  The overall PCN architecture is described in RFC 5559.  This
   memo is one of a series describing possible boundary node behaviours
   for a PCN-domain.  The behaviour described here is that for a form of
   measurement-based load control using three PCN marking states, not-
   marked, threshold-marked, and excess-traffic-marked.  This behaviour
   is known informally as the Controlled Load (CL) PCN-boundary-node
   behaviour.

I have just submitted draft-ietf-pcn-cl-edge-behaviour-12.txt, 
incorporating responses to the Genart reviews by Joel Halpern and Brian 
Carpenter. Thanks to both of them for their suggestions. The set of 
changes to the CL edge behaviour draft is as follows:

1. Introduction
===============

Added the following paragraph in response to a concern expressed by 
Brian. Further related text is described later.

    Note that the terms "block" or "terminate" actually translate to
    one or more of several possible courses of action, as discussed
    in Section 3.6 of RFC5559. The choice of which action to take
    for blocked or terminated flows is a matter of local policy.

Deleted the following text from the RFC Editor's note, on Brian's 
recommendation:

    You may choose to delete the following paragraph and the
    "[CL-specific]" tags throughout this document when publishing
    it, since they are present primarily to aid reviewers.

3. Node Behaviours
==================

Added the following paragraph at the end of the introductory text to 
this section:

    Section 5.1.2 describes how to derive the filters by means of
    which PCN-ingress-nodes and PCN-egress-nodes are able to classify
    incoming packets into ingress-egress-aggregates.

3.3.3. Decision Point Action For Missing PCN-Boundary-Node Reports
==================================================================

Changed the paragraph dealing with egress node reporting timeouts:

OLD

    If timer t-recvFail expires for a given PCN-egress-node, the
    Decision Point SHOULD notify management. A Decision Point
    collocated with a PCN-ingress-node SHOULD cease to admit
    PCN-flows to the ingress-egress-aggregate associated with the
    given PCN-egress-node, until it again receives a report from
    that node. A centralized Decision Point MAY cease to admit
    PCN-flows to all ingress-egress-aggregates destined to the
    PCN-egress-node concerned, until it again receives a report
    from that node.

NEW

    If timer t-recvFail expires for a given PCN-egress-node, the
    Decision Point SHOULD notify management. A log format is
    defined for that purpose in Section 5.2.1.1. Other actions
    depend on local policy, but MAY include blocking of new flows
    destined for the PCN-egress-node concerned until another report
    is received from it. Termination of already-admitted flows is
    also possible, but could be triggered by the receipt of
    "Destination unreachable" messages at the PCN-ingress-node.

5.1.2. Specification of Node- and Link-Specific Parameters
==========================================================

Replaced the first three paragraphs of this section:

OLD

    Each PCN-ingress-node needs filters to classify incoming PCN packets
    according to ingress-egress-aggregate, both to satisfy Decision Point
    requests for sent traffic rates and, if applicable, to support
    encapsulation.  If PCN packets are being tunneled to the PCN-egress-
    nodes (encapsulation), the PCN-ingress-node also needs the address of
    the PCN-egress-node for each ingress-egress-aggregate.

    Each PCN-egress-node needs filters to classify incoming PCN packets
    by ingress-egress-aggregate, in order to gather measurements on a
    per-aggregate basis.  The PCN-egress-node also needs to know the
    address of the Decision Point to which it sends reports for each
    ingress-egress-aggregate.

    If [I-D.tsvwg-rsvp-pcn] is deployed and the Decision Points are
    collocated with the PCN-ingress-nodes, this information can be built
    up dynamically from the contents of the end-to-end RSVP signalling
    and does not have to be pre-configured.  Otherwise the filters have
    to be derived from the routing tables in use in the domain, and the
    address of the peer at the other end of each ingress-egress-aggregate
    has to be tabulated for each PCN-edge-node.

NEW

    Filters are required at both the PCN-ingress-node and the PCN-egress-
    node to classify incoming PCN packets by ingress-egress-aggregate.
    Because of the potential use of multi-path routing in domains
    upstream of the PCN-domain, it is impossible to do such
    classification reliably at the PCN-egress-node based on the packet
    header contents as originally received at the PCN-ingress-node.
    (Packets with the same header contents could enter the PCN-domain at
    multiple PCN-ingress-nodes.)  As a result, the only way to construct
    such filters reliably is to tunnel the packets from the PCN-ingress-
    node to the PCN-egress-node.

    The PCN-ingress-node needs filters in order to place PCN packets into
    the right tunnel in the first instance, and also to satisfy requests
    from the Decision Point for admission rates into specific ingress-
    egress-aggregates.  These filters select the PCN-egress-node, but not
    necessarily a specific path through the network to that node.  As a
    result, they are likely to be stable even in the face of failures in
    the network, except when the PCN-egress-node itself becomes
    unreachable.  The primary basis for their derivation will be routing
    policy given the packet's original origin and destination.  Since all
    PCN packets will be tunneled, the PCN-ingress-node also needs to know
    the address of the peer PCN-egress-node associated with each filter.

    Operators may wish to give some thought to the provisioning of
    alternate egress points for some or all ingress-egress aggregates in
    case of failure of the PCN-egress-node.  This could require the
    setting up of standby tunnels to these alternate egress points.

    Each PCN-egress-node needs filters to classify incoming PCN packets
    by ingress-egress-aggregate, in order to gather measurements on a
    per-aggregate basis.  These filters are constructed on the basis of
    the identifier of the tunnel from which the incoming packet has
    emerged (e.g. the source address in the outer header if IP
    encapsulation is used).  The PCN-egress-node also needs to know the
    address of the Decision Point to which it sends reports for each
    ingress-egress-aggregate.

5.2.1.  Event Logging In the PCN Domain
=======================================

Added the following paragraph:

    The field names (e.g., HOSTNAME, STRUCTURED-DATA) used in the
    following subsections are defined in [RFC5424].

I have now posted draft-ietf-pcn-sm-edge-behaviour-09 with similar 
changes to the CL edge behaviour draft. I forgot to mention deletion of 
the following bullet from Section 2:

    o the PCN-domain satisfies the conditions specified in [RFC5696];

I apologize to Joel and Brian that I forgot to add them to the 
Acknowledgements section in the CL draft. I'll fix that in AUTH48, if it 
ever comes. I did fix add them in the SM draft.

  <draft-ietf-pcn-3-in-1-encoding-08.txt> as a Proposed Standard

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-03-13. Exceptionally, comments may be
sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the
beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract


   The objective of Pre-Congestion Notification (PCN) is to protect the
   quality of service (QoS) of inelastic flows within a Diffserv domain.
   The overall rate of the PCN-traffic is metered on every link in the
   PCN domain, and PCN-packets are appropriately marked when certain
   configured rates are exceeded.  Egress nodes pass information about
   these PCN-marks to decision points which then decide whether to admit
   or block new flow requests or to terminate some already-admitted
   flows during serious pre-congestion.

   This document specifies how PCN-marks are to be encoded into the IP
   header by re-using the Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN)
   codepoints within a PCN-domain.  This encoding provides for up to
   three different PCN marking states using a single DSCP: not-marked
   (NM), threshold-marked (ThM) and excess-traffic-marked (ETM).  Hence,
   it is called the 3-in-1 PCN encoding.  This document obsoletes
   RFC5696.

   This document contains a normative reference to an informational RFC -
   RFC 5559 "Pre-Congestion Notification (PCN) Architecture".
