Dear all,
I need your suggestion.

I need to connect an IP host with a proper static IP address to an IP
network through a TDM network.
Moreover I need a reliable IP connection between this IP host and the IP
network.

So, I thought to set up two different PPP session (this would guarantee
physical reliability), over different TDM links, toward the IP network and
to manage these PPP links with an adaptation function in my IP host (in
order to not duplicate IP traffic on IP network). This function will use,
in Tx toward the IP network, the PPP session from which, in Rx, it has
receive PPP traffic. When a fail occurs, the adaptation function switch on
the other PPP session.

Two PPP sessions are monitored by Echo Request/Reply message.

The IP network will see my IP host's IP address on two different PPP link
and it will be a task of IP network routing protocol to identify the proper
route toward my IP host.
In case one PPP link fails, my IP host has always an available link toward
the IP network and the IP network routing protocol will reconverge in order
to find out another proper route toward my IP host.

Do you think this sounds good ?


I don't know if there some IETF work on this problem. If it exists, someone
can provide me ?


Thank in advance.
Fabio

Not that it matters greatly to me, but this doesn't appear to be the
right place to be asking a question like this.  The IETF PPP working
group deals with extensions to the Point-to-Point Protocol itself, not
deployment or usage.

Please define what you mean by "reliable."

The first problem is a matter of facilities sharing.  I'm going to
assume that by "reliable," you mean "survives a fault in at least any
one component."  In that case, do the TDM links you have in mind share
any facilities at the hardware level?  How are failures there covered?

That can work, though I'd personally recommend either duplication or
distribution instead.  The problem with stateful mechanisms like this
-- switching back and forth between redundant links -- is that they
introduce new failure modes (e.g., having each end believe a different
link has failed), and those new modes are frequently more likely to
occur.  In other words, it sometimes makes overall reliability
*worse.*

For duplication, send the same packet over both links, and have the
peer eliminate the duplicates.  Note that PPP guarantees in-order
delivery, so this should be pretty simple.

For distribution, pick some reasonable method (such as a
flow-identifying hash) to distribute packets among the available
links, so that if a link fails, only a fraction of the connections are
affected until the failure has been detected.

> Two PPP sessions are monitored by Echo Request/Reply message.

I'd suggest looking into LQM (RFC 1989).  Echo-Request/Reply works,
but it's a bit crude and won't detect service degradation.

That's another way to do it.  It isn't necessary to give those links
separate IP addresses or expose them to the routing protocol, as long
as you have control over the implementations on each end.  But it is
one way to deal with the issue, and might be advantageous if there are
many different routers that have multiple links, and there are systems
behind those that can forward through any of those routers.

Thomas and Margaret,

The PPPEXT Working Group recommends that PPP Vendor Protocol,
draft-ietf-pppext-vendor-protocol-00.txt, be advanced to Proposed 
Standard.

Note to the IESG Secretary: Please modify the text to incorporate the 
below
assigned numbers.

Thanks,

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Point-to-Point Protocol Extensions Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: PPP Vendor Protocol
	Author(s)	: J. Carlson, R. Winslow
	Filename	: draft-ietf-pppext-vendor-protocol-01.txt
	Pages		: 10
	Date		: 2003-10-15
	
The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) [1] defines a Link Control Protocol
(LCP) and a method for negotiating the use of multi-protocol traffic
over point-to-point links.  PPP Vendor Extensions [2] adds vendor-
specific general-purpose Configuration Option and Code numbers.  This
document extends these features to cover vendor-specific Network,
Authentication, and Control Protocols.

Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username
"anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in,
type "cd internet-drafts" and then
	"get draft-ietf-pppext-vendor-protocol-01.txt".

A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in
http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html 
or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt


Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.

Send a message to:
	mailserv@ietf.org.
In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-pppext-vendor-protocol-01.txt".
	
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.

This is last call.  I will advise the area directors that we want
to take PPP Vendor Protocol (draft-ietf-pppext-vendor-protocol-01.txt)
to Proposed Standard on October 30, 2003 unless there is substantive
comment raised on the list.
