Dear all,

Dan's AD review identified a set of issues to be solved in PSAMP-INFO.
Most of them can be dealt with by the authors, but there is one for which
input from others is needed:

Dan asked why we use float64 as data type for Information Element
samplingProbability (#311, section 8.2.11):

> T4. Section 8.2.11 - why is Abstract Data type float64 needed? It looks
> to me like float32 would be enough to express a probability value, or am
> I missing something?

Can anyone give us a good reason for using float64 instead of the
smaller float32?

Thanks,

    Juergen

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories.
This draft is a work item of the Packet Sampling Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Sampling and Filtering Techniques for IP Packet Selection
	Author(s)	: T. Zseby
	Filename	: draft-ietf-psamp-sample-tech-11.txt
	Pages		: 47
	Date		: 2008-7-10
	
This document describes Sampling and Filtering techniques for IP 
 packet selection. It provides a categorization of schemes and 
 defines what parameters are needed to describe the most common 
 selection schemes. Furthermore it shows how techniques can be 
 combined to build more elaborate packet Selectors. The document 
 provides the basis for the definition of information models for 
 configuring selection techniques in Metering Processes and for 
 reporting the technique in use to a Collector.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Packet Sampling Working Group of the IETF.


	Title           : Information Model for Packet Sampling Exports
	Author(s)       : T. Dietz, et al.
	Filename        : draft-ietf-psamp-info-09.txt
	Pages           : 52
	Date            : 2008-07-14

This memo defines an information model for the Packet Sampling
(PSAMP) protocol.  It is used by the PSAMP protocol for encoding
sampled packet data and information related to the Sampling process.
As the PSAMP protocol is based on the IPFIX protocol, this
information model is an extension to the IPFIX information
model.Conventions used in this document

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

Hi all, Hello Dan,

as you may have noticed a new version of the Info Model is out.

Dan, I hope we have addressed all your issues. Currently there are 2 open
points under discussion

* dataLinkFrameSize - usage and meaning of this element is unclear
* padding - usage of padding for the ...Section elements

We hope to solve these issues at the IETF meeting in Dublin.

Best Regards,

Thomas

Dear all,

When discussing how to solve the issues raised by the AD review of
draft-ietf-psamp-info the authors identified new issues with the
encoding of sections of a raw packet.

I try to summarize the first one in this email.
Paul, please correct me if I misunderstood the points
you made last week:


Currently all Information Elements containing sections (chunks)
of sampled packets (ipHeaderPacketSection, ipPayloadPacketSection,
dataLinkFrameSection, mplsLabelStackSection, mplsPayloadPacketSection)
contain a phrase in their description saying "The data for this
field MUST NOT be padded."

The obvious reason for this statement is that if you use padding
within these sections, then a receiver of the IE might not be able
to distinguish packet data from padding octets.

However, there are also reasons for allowing padding, particularly
if you do not want to use variable length encoding of packet
sections.  You may want to use fixed length encoding matching
the sampling length you apply to the packet or to its payload.
Then padding could be applied in case packets are shorter than
the sampling length.  In this case, the receiver of the section
would also need further information such as the packet length,
payload length, etc. in order to identify which octets belong to
the packet and which are padding, but this information could be
provided by further IEs that are already available from IPFIX-INFO.

Do people in the WG think we should allow padding of reported
packet sections within an IE or shall we rather stick with the
current rule that section IEs MUST NOT be padded?

Thanks,

    Juergen

Dear all,

Here is another issue for PSAMP-INFO:

In the current version of draft-ietf-psamp-info there
are two Information Elements related to link layer frames:
dataLinkFrameSize and dataLinkFrameSection.

I would like to discuss whether it is of advantage to have
generic dataLinkFrame* IEs rather than specific ones.

A generic one is nice, if you are reporting different
types of data link layer frames.

But if you don't know which data link layer was present,
interpretation of the IE becomes tricky.   The most common
case is probably an Ethernet frame.  Also for 802.11 the
concept of a frame is pretty clear.

It gets more difficult if you use MPLS. What is then the
data link frame?  Or for 802.16 (WiMAX, where multiple packets
for multiple receivers may be contained in a single frame (burst).

Things would get much clearer is we used link layer-specific
IEs instead of a dataLinkFrame* IEs, such as ethernetFrameSection,
wlanFrameSection, wimaxBurstSection, etc.

Any opinions on this issue?

Thanks,

    Juergen

If packet sections must not be padded then either:

1. we mandate that variable length encoding MUST be used, or

2. we accept that templates may be consumed at an alarming rate
    to cope with the various different sized packet sections.

    Indeed, templates may be exhausted exponentially when multiple
    packet section fields are used.


Since I don't want (2) and (1) seems unnecessarily strict, I came to the 
conclusion that we must allow padding.

And as you say yourself, the IEs required to identify padding are 
already available.

Thanks.

Template exhaustion is not an implicit consequence of not mandating VLE.
If fixed length encoding is used, the Exporter may define a small number
of Templates with packet section fields of different lengths and choose
the one with the maximum length not exceeding the packet boundary.

Of course, it is possible to define many different Templates which only
differ in the length of the packet section field. But there are other
ways of defining many Templates in a stupid way which lead to Template
exhaustion as well. Therefore, I do not think that Template exhaustion
is a problem which is specific to the padding issue.

My remark is not in favor or against allowing padding. I just do no
think that your argumentation forces us to allow padding.

Absolutely!

But then some data may be lost from the end of the packet, so we'd have 
a similar issue to when padding is used - ie, the need for additional 
IEs to be exported indicating how much of the packet data was exported.

Sure: template exhaustion isn't necessarily caused by careless use of 
packet sections. However, careless use of packet sections will 
definitely lead to template exhaustion.

I'd be quite happy for this text to be removed: "The data for this
field MUST NOT be padded."

Then padding is neither required nor forced. But neither is it precluded!

Speaking as technical contributor:

I fully support Paul's statement that sending some packet data
that is by nature of variable length in fixed length Information
Elements would require a different template for each length of
the information you want to send.  This may lead to an absurd
number of templates to be used for reporting.

And my conclusion is quite simple:
Trying to send something that is by nature of variable length
in fixed length Information Elements is a bad idea.

The alternative that we are discussing is using a single template
with fixed length fields and filling the fixed length field with
padding octets when the actual data is shorter than the fixed length
field. In order to know the actual length of the information, we
send another Information Element that tells us how many octets in
the padded IE are actual data.

This this alternative would probably work well.  It would be a nice
workaround if we did not had variable length encoding.  But we do
have it and it is much than the workaround.

  - Variable length encoding is more efficient for variable length
    packet data than fixed length encoding because
      - you do not fill your Data Record with useless padding octets
      - you do not need to send the length of the encoded packet
        data in a separate Information Element

  - Variable length encoding is more self-contained than padded
    fixed length encoding, because you can store, forward and
    interpret the IE without having to take care of another
    accompanying one that tells you which octets inside are valid


Consequently, I would keep the statement that *Section IEs MUST NOT
be padded.  

However, I would still not suggest to disallow fixed length
encoding of *section IEs because there are cases where you
know that your section always has the same length, for example,
if you report in ipHeaderPacketSection  the first 12 octets of
the IP header.

One disadvantage of VLE is that parsing a Data Sets of Records including
variable length fields is much more complex and therefore requires more
processing time at the collector.

For example, in our Data Set parser implementation, we first check if
the length of the Record is known from the Template (i.e., if there is
no VLE). The complexity of the Data Set treatment which comes behind
this IF-statement is significantly different for fixed-length and
variable-length Records because VLE requires a complex calculation of
the offset for each Record.

Therefore, in practice, it can make sense to accept a slightly increased
Record length if this allows the collector to decode Records at a much
higher rate.

The only working alternative would be allowing both options:

1) VLE
2) fixed length encoding with mandatory additional length IE

However, I'm not sure if 2) represents a real advantage compared to
using different Templates with different fixed-length for *Section fields=
=2E

Assumed that we are many interested in the export of network and
transport layer information (IP+TCP/UDP/ICMP) and that IP/TCP options
are rare, then only a small number of different lengths would be required=
:

IP+TCP=3D20+20=3D40
IP+UDP=3D20+8=3D28
=2E..

For the small number of special cases differing from this scheme, we can
define another template with variable length field.

Gerhard

Juergen,

In our implementation the user specifies how much data is to be 
captured, eg "capture packet-data length 200".

The length tells us how wide a field to allocate in the cache.

It's important that the cache field is of a fixed size (ie, regardless 
of the packet data) for two reasons:

1. To ensure that any following fields are located at a constant offset.
2. So we can hash on the data in the case that it's a key field.

Obviously we have to pad the cached data if it's less than the specified 
length.

Since we now have a fixed length field (including the padding) it's 
straightforward for us to export it as such - which is why I'd like the 
"MUST NOT be padded" restriction to be removed.

It'd be more complicated to export as a variable-length field since we'd 
also need to cache the length - which we don't necessarily do, unless 
the user has also configured it. And if the user has configured it then 
we'd also export it, which gives them the necessary information to 
decode the fixed length field!

Another view is that the user has asked for 200 bytes, so that's what we 
should provide.

Finally, variable length fields are also not backwards compatible with 
netflow v9 - and we've been striving to ensure as much v9 and IPFIX 
compatibility as possible, to make the transition as simple as possible.

So we'd prefer not to mandate that variable length MUST be used.

Cheers.

In the presence of padding, we should mandate (or at least recommend)
that the section length of valid section data is also included in the
Record. Otherwise, there may be problems to correctly interprete the
exported information.

First, if you just export the section without the length it is useless for
the user.

If you export the length then you can (with the same effort) export a
variable length field.

Btw. at one time of the processing you must have the length anyway because
you need to know where the padding starts. At that point in time you can
also cache it. It's just so easy to write it at the beginning (or the end
whatever you like better) of the 200 byte buffer and have it at maximum 2
bytes longer if you store it in IPFIX format.

Hey, but if the packet is only 27 bytes a 200 byte information element does
give the same information as a 27 byte information element and wastes
network bandwidth.

You can keep your internal processing as is. You just need to change the
exporting. If the user wants to have IPFIX and not Netflow v9 then he/she
must have a collector for it. If he/she has a collector it must conform to
the IPFIX protocol, thus it must support variable length information
elements. So I don't see your point here.

Just my point of view,

Thomas

I personally would include a special case here which just imposes a =
small
impact on processing (at least I believe so): one VLE at the very end of =
the
record. Then you know in advance at what position of the packet the VLE
length is and can quickly add it to the fixed size and get the position =
of
the next record.

I would call this the ideal solution. Maybe it need a little more
configuration and processing effort on the exporter (because it must =
decide:
is the length 40 take template a, is it 28 take template b or else take
template c), but I think that is affordable.

Gerhard,

> In the presence of padding, we should mandate (or at least recommend)

I agree with "at least recommend".

We cannot know what the user wants to do with the data, so we should not 
try to guess.

The length can be calculated from existing IEs, eg ipHeaderLength, 
ipPayloadLength and ipTotalLength.

So it's not necessary to export a further IE to indicate the amount of 
"valid" data in the section.

Thomas,

There may be multiple VLEs.

Sounds a bit like draft-irino-ipfix-ie-order?

Indeed. However, I have not yet understood why VLE fields at the end of
the Record are advantageous.

If the goal is to calculate the Record boundary and if there is only one
VLE field in the Record, the parser can jump to its position and extract
the variable length field. However, the VLE field does not have to be
the last field in the Record in order to do so.

More generally, the number of iterations in the VLE parser depends on
the number of VLE fields in the Record. Therefore, fewer VLE fields
result in a faster parsing and Record boundary determination.

Regards,
Gerhard

It is definitely necessary to export at least one further IE.
The further IEs would contain packet length or the header length
in one IE and the payload length in another one.

But it is indeed not necessary to define further IEs for this purpose.
We have them already.

The VLE does not need to be at the end. But if it is at the end then the
offsets for all other fields (counted from the start of the record) =
always
remain constant and the elements can be read quickly. You then need only =
to
add the length of the (last) VLE field to the known constant length and =
you
know the start of the next record.

That's of course true, but I would expect to have only 1 VLE most of the
time. Then being smart with decoding this special case where the single =
VLE
is at the end may speed up processing. Nevertheless I do not expect
performance issues with new powerful collectors/mediators/concentrators
anyway. They must anyway have CPU power to do the concentrator/mediator
work.

True, but that's why I called this special case. Btw. I wouldn't expect more
than one VLE in a record in the majority of cases anyway.

Well, yes. If you are that concerned about performance... But I expect the
device that needs does mediation/concentration anyway to be powerful because
of the processing it needs to do for the concentration. Then decoding VLEs
is not an issue (otherwise decoding IP packets which are by nature variable
length would also be a problem).

Thomas

We definitely need a layer 2 protocol IE to allow the layer 2 frame to
be understood.

Instead of IEs specific to each link layer, we should have a generic
section field and extract specific and useful fields into their own IEs.

Exactly as we do for L3, in fact.

Thomas,

That very much depends on the monitor and exporter.

We can have no expectations when the user can configure whatever fields
they like.

I don't think we have them yet.

Is there a need for more IEs?

Correct.

At least the L2 protocol. Else, how would you interpret the frame?

We could also define individual L2 fields - though I would see that as a 
separate work; no need to stall any other work in progress.

Cheers.

I would create EthernetFrameSize, EthernetFrameSection, wlanFrameSize,
wlanFrameSection, wimaxBurstSize, wimaxBurstSection, mplspacketsize (if
we don't have it already), etc.

These would all be self-contained and none of them would need any
further IEs for interpreting their content.

That's exactly what I *wouldn't* do.

By the same token we should throw away all the L3 fields and retain just 
the IPv4packetSection and IPv6packetSection - since these are both 
"self-contained and none of them would need any further IEs for 
interpreting their content".

Clearly it makes no sense at all.

As I recall, the previous IPFIX charter said something about defining 
all the fields that are required for the information model. I guess 
there was an assumption that this wouldn't be a minimalistic set of 
packet/frame sections.

I think it makes a lot of sense.

All of the Information Elements we standardized so far are
self-contained.   Packet sections with an unspecified number of
padding octets and linkLayerFrameSections for an unspecified link
layer technology would be the first ones that are not self-contained.
In order to read the full content you need to have another IE that
tells you the the use link layer technology or length of the padding,
respectively.

I would not be happy with introducing such a new class of IEs that
are only readable in the presence of others.

Definitely not. We have different IEs for v4 and v6. There is no general
problem with having different IEs for Ethernet and WLAN.

The IESG has approved the following document:

- 'Packet Sampling (PSAMP) Protocol Specifications '
   <draft-ietf-psamp-protocol-09.txt> as a Proposed Standard

This document is the product of the Packet Sampling Working Group. 

The IESG contact persons are Dan Romascanu and Ron Bonica.

A URL of this Internet-Draft is:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-psamp-protocol-09.txt

Technical Summary
 
This document specifies the export of packet information from a Packet
Sampling (PSAMP) Exporting Process to a PSAMP Collecting Process.  For
export of packet information the IP Flow Information eXport (IPFIX)
protocol is used, as both the IPFIX and PSAMP architecture match very well
and the means provided by the IPFIX protocol are sufficient.  The document
specifies in detail how the IPFIX protocol is used for PSAMP export of
packet information. 
 
Working Group Summary
 
There is a solid WG consensus on the content of the draft.

Protocol Quality
 
The document was reviewed in the WG, and by key members of the IPFIX
Working Group. An expert review was performed by Mark Allman from the TSV
Directorate. Dan Romascanu reviewed the document on behalf of the IESG. 


Note to RFC Editor
 
RFC Editor,

Please make the following changes in the document prior to publication:

1) in Section 6.4.1 "Basic Packet Report", 2nd paragraph 

OLD:
   For each selected packet, the Packet Report SHOULD contain the
   following information:
   - the observationTimeMicroseconds Information Element
NEW:
   For each selected packet, the Packet Report SHOULD contain a
time-related
   Information Element that matches the Metering Process time accuracy.
   Typically, the observationTimeMicroseconds Information Element. Other 
   possible Information Elements are the observationTimeSeconds, 
   the observationTimeMilliseconds, or the observationTimeNanoseconds



2) in Section 5 "PSAMP Requirements versus the IPFIX Solution", first
paragraph: 

OLD 

   In the "Generic Requirements for PSAMP" section, [PSAMP-FMWK]
   describes some requirements that affect directly the PSAMP export
   protocol.

NEW:

   The [PSAMP-FMWK] contains PSAMP protocol requirements throughout
   the document, with a special focus in the "Generic Requirements 
   for PSAMP" section and subsections. 




3) in Section 5 "PSAMP Requirements versus the IPFIX Solution", first
paragraph 

OLD 
   Finally, [PSAMP-FMWK] describes a series of requirements specifying
   the different Information Elements that MUST and SHOULD be reported 
   to the Collector.  Nevertheless IPFIX, being a generic export
   protocol, can export any Information Elements as long as they are
   described in the information model.  So these requirements are mainly
   targeted for the [PSAMP-INFO] document.
  

NEW:
   [PSAMP-FMWK] also describes a series of requirements specifying
   the different Information Elements that MUST and SHOULD be reported
   to the Collector.  Nevertheless IPFIX, being a generic export
   protocol, can export any Information Elements as long as they are
   described in the information model.  So these requirements are mainly
   targeted for the [PSAMP-INFO] document.




4) in Section 3.3.1 "IPFIX and PSAMP Processes", first paragraph 

OLD:
   The figure B indicates the sequence of the processes (Metering and
   Exporting) within the PSAMP Device.

NEW:
   The figure B indicates the sequence of the IPFIX processes (Metering
and
   Exporting) within the PSAMP Device.



5) in Section 3.3.2 "Packet Report, Packet Interpretation, and Data
Record", first  

OLD:
   The PSAMP terminology speaks of Packet Report and Packet 
   Interpretation, while the IPFIX terminology speaks of Data Record and 
   (Option) Template Record.  The PSAMP Packet Report, which comprises 
   information about the observed packet, can be viewed as analogous to 
   the IPFIX Data Record defined by a Template Record.  The PSAMP Packet 
   Interpretation, which comprises subsidiary information used for the 
   interpretation of the Packet Reports, can be viewed as analogous to 
   the IPFIX Data Record defined by an Option Template Record. 
    
NEW:
   The PSAMP terminology speaks of Packet Report and Packet 
   Interpretation, while the IPFIX terminology speaks of Data Record and 
   (Option) Template Record.  The PSAMP Packet Report, which comprises 
   information about the observed packet, can be viewed as analogous to
   the IPFIX Data Record defined by a Template Record.  The PSAMP Report
   Interpretation, which comprises subsidiary information used for the
   interpretation of the Packet Reports, can be viewed as analogous to
   the IPFIX Data Record defined by an Option Template Record. This Option

 
   Template Record contains subsidiary information, applicable to 
   the observed packet sent into the PSAMP Packet Report.
 

6) in Section 4.1 "Architecture Point of View", 4th paragraph

OLD:
Packet Sampling as described in the PSAMP framework [PSAMP-FMWK]
covers only stage 1 of the IPFIX architecture with the packet
classification replaced by packet record export.

NEW: 
Packet Sampling as described in the PSAMP framework [PSAMP-FMWK]
covers only stage 1 of the IPFIX architecture with the packet
classification replaced by packet record export, while IPFIX covers also
the stage 2, 
as it generates Flow Records out of the selected packets.

Dear all,

As you may have noticed, the WG draft on the IPFIX/PSAMP configuration
data model was finally published:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ipfix-configuration-model-00

As an individual draft, the document was already presented various
times. Many of you read and reviewed one of the earlier versions of the
document. So, most of you do have a general notion of what the draft is
about, which is great.

Now, as we have a WG document, I would like to direct your attention to
the draft again. I would appreciate receiving critical feedback in
Dublin or on the mailing list. It will also be very useful to have some
draft readers in the audience of the IPFIX session since there will be
questions about how to proceed.

Thanks,
Gerhard

The IESG has approved the following document:

- 'A Framework for Packet Selection and Reporting '
   <draft-ietf-psamp-framework-13.txt> as an Informational RFC

This document is the product of the Packet Sampling Working Group. 

The IESG contact persons are Dan Romascanu and Ron Bonica.

A URL of this Internet-Draft is:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-psamp-framework-13.txt

Technical Summary
 
   This document specifies a framework for the PSAMP (Packet 
   SAMPling) protocol.  The functions of this protocol are to select 
   packets from a stream according to a set of standardized 
   selectors, to form a stream of reports on the selected packets, 
   and to export the reports to a collector.  This framework details 
   the components of this architecture, then describes some generic 
   requirements, motivated by the dual aims of ubiquitous deployment 
   and utility of the reports for applications.  Detailed 
   requirements for selection, reporting and exporting are 
   described, along with configuration requirements of the PSAMP 
   functions. 
 
 
Working Group Summary
 
   There is a solid WG consensus on the content of the draft.
   However, it was discussed controversially whether this document
   should become an informational RFC or a standards track RFC.
 
Protocol Quality
 
   This is a framework document. The protocol is defined in a different 
   document.

Technical Summary
 
This document describes Sampling and Filtering techniques for IP packet
selection. It provides a categorization of schemes and defines what
parameters are needed to describe the most common selection schemes.
Furthermore it shows how techniques can be combined to build more
elaborate packet Selectors. The document provides the basis for the
definition of information models for configuring selection techniques in
Measurement Processes and for reporting the technique in use to a
Collector.
 
Working Group Summary
 
This document has been a regular WG document. There is strong consensus in
the working group concerning the content of this document and the fact
that it describes an appropriate sampling and filtering techniques for IP
packet selection.
 
Protocol Quality
 
Dan Romascanu reviewed this document for the IESG, Vijay K. Gurbani did
the Gen-Art review and Mark Allman performed an expert review on behalf of
the TSV directorate. There are no known implementations yet, but two
vendors and academic research institutes announced implementations. The
document is fully supported by the WG and there has no concerns been
raised that there are better alternatives or that the document is not
useful.

Hi PSAMP-INFO editors,

=20

I had a look at the PSAMP-INFO document and have a question:

What is meant with the fixed and relative error? Are this
absolute/relative confidence boundaries to provide an accuracy
statement?  If yes, we also need an IE to report the confidence level.
Furthermore, I would suggest to rename fixed error to absolute error.=20

If something else is meant, we could discuss to add an accuracy
statement as further IE.

Maybe we can discuss this after the IPFIX session or later this week?

=20

Kind regards

Tanja

For a clear definition of these values, it would probably be required
to either specify the formula for calculating them or to provide a
reference (may be a text book) which exactly defines these values.

Thanks,

Gerhard,

Good catch.
I think that the 3 instances of packet record in [PSAMP-PROTO] should be 
replaced by the Packet Report.

Note:

I fell over the following section in psamp-protocol:


4.2 Protocol Point of View

   Concerning the protocol, the major difference between IPFIX and PSAMP
   is that the IPFIX protocol exports Flow Records while the PSAMP
   protocol exports Packet Records.


Words with capitalized first letter are usually specific terms. However,
Packet Records does not appear in the terminology section.

Is "Packet Record" considered as a specific term or not?

Regards,
Gerhard

Juergen,

I think that the logic has been: since we have "6.2. Reduced Size 
Encoding of Integer and Float Types' in RFC5101, why not use float64? 
Just in case someone needs this granularity later on, we would not need 
to define a new I.E.
Now it's true that I can't find a business case for samplingProbability 
float64.
So "reducing" to float32 probably makes sense. No strong opinion on that 
one to be frank.

Regards, Benoit.

Hi Tanja,

Those two information elements are used in section 6.5.4 Accuracy Report 
Interpretation from [PSAMP-PROTO].
There are even some examples in there.
Let's discuss this week during the IETF

Hi Benoit,

I had a look at the example. It seems that the intended usage is
different from what I thought. So its probably sufficient to keep the
IEs as they are, but it maybe good to improve the description a bit in
PSMP-INFO.  We can sort this out tomorrow.

Kind regards
Tanja

Dear all,

I propose to remove that dataLinkFrameSection I.E.
We inserted that one to be complete.
When the specific need will be required, then a request to IANA will 
have to be done. And I think that there is a high chance that L2 
specific section (ethernet, dot1Q, etc..) will be requested, which will 
solve the current issue of a vague definition.

Regards, Benoit

I think it makes a lot of sense.

All of the Information Elements we standardized so far are
self-contained.   Packet sections with an unspecified number of
padding octets and linkLayerFrameSections for an unspecified link
layer technology would be the first ones that are not self-contained.
In order to read the full content you need to have another IE that
tells you the the use link layer technology or length of the padding,
respectively.

I would not be happy with introducing such a new class of IEs that
are only readable in the presence of others.

Definitely not. We have different IEs for v4 and v6. There is no general

Dear All,

After discussing this issue with Juergen, I agree that the right 
solution for IPFIX is for packet sections not to be padded.

eg, variable length encoding can be used.

Unfortunately this isn't possible for netflow v9 export :-(

Hi Benoit and Paul,

=20

here my suggestions for clarification of the error IEs in PSAMP-INFO.

-    I suggest to rename the fixedError to absoluteError

-    I suggest to introduce CI limits and level to also report
estimation errors

-    If it is still possible I would suggest to make a few small changes
in PSAMP-PROTO for consistency.

-    Upper and lower CI limits can be also specified as provided
absolute or relative limits. So we could also add 2 more IEs (for the
relative CI limits)

=20

New description of IEs:

=20

absoluteError

This Information Element specifies the maximum possible measurement
error of the reported value for a given Information Element. The
absoluteError has the same unit as the information element it is
associated to. The real value of the metric can differ by absoluteError
(positive or negative) from the measured value. This information element
provides only the error for measured values. If an information element
contains an estimated values (from sampling) the confidence boundaries
and confidence level have to be provided instead.

=20

relativeError

This Information Element specifies the maximum possible measurement
error of the reported value for a given Information Element as
percentage of the measured value. The real value of the metric can
differ by relativeError percent (positive or negative) from the measured
value. This information element provides only the error for measured
values. If an information element contains an estimated values (from
sampling) the confidence boundaries and confidence level have to be
provided instead.

=20

upperCILimit

This Information Element specifies the upper limit of a confidence
interval. It is used to provide an accuracy statement for an estimated
value. The confidence limits define the range in which the real value is
assumed to be with a certain probability p. Confidence limits always
need to be associated with a confidence level that defines this
probability p. Please note that a confidence interval only provides a
probability that the real values lies within the limits. That means the
real value can lie outside the confidence limits.

=20

lowerCILimit

This Information Element specifies the lower limit of a confidence
interval. For further information see the description of upperCILimit.

=20

confidenceLevel

This Information Element specifies the confidence level. It is used to
provide an accuracy statement for estimated values. The confidence level
provides the probability p with which the real value lies within a given
range. A confidence level always needs to be associated with confidence
limits that define the range in which the real value is assumed to be.

=20

=20

Changes to PSAMP-PROTO if still possible:

=20

-    Rename fixedError to absoluteError

-    Slightly modify paragraph 2

OLD:

...  The accuracy SHOULD be reported either with the fixedError
Information Element [PSAMP-INFO
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-psamp-protocol-09#ref-PSAMP-INFO>
], or with the relativeError Information Element [PSAMP-INFO
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-psamp-protocol-09#ref-PSAMP-INFO>
].

NEW:

... The accuracy for a measured information elelment SHOULD be reported
either with the fixedError Information Element [PSAMP-INFO
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-psamp-protocol-09#ref-PSAMP-INFO>
], or with the relativeError Information Element [PSAMP-INFO
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-psamp-protocol-09#ref-PSAMP-INFO>
]. The accuracy for an estimated information element (from sampling)
SHOULD be reported with confidence limits and confidence
level.[PSAMP-INFO]

=20

-    Remove the following paragraph (very important! Otherwise it would
lead to confusion):

For example, the accuracy of an Information Element to estimate the
accuracy of a sampled flow, for which the unit would be specified in
octets, can be specified with the relativeError Information Element with
the octet units.  In this case, the error interval is the Information
Element value +/- the value reported in the relativeError times the
reported Information Element value.

=20

-    Avoid the term error interval

OLD:=20

In this case, the error interval is the Information Element value +/-
the value reported in the fixedError.

NEW:=20

In this case, the real values lies within the range of the Information
Element value +/- the value reported in the absoluteError.

=20

=20

-    Remove the following paragraph (since absolute or relative error
are just different representations I would not gain something if I
report both)

Alternatively to reporting either the fixedError Information Element or
the relativeError Information Element in the Accuracy Report
Interpretation, both Information Elements MAY be present.  This scenario
could help in more complex situations where the system clock drifts, on
the top of having its own accuracy, during the duration of a
measurement.

=20

Sorry for the late comments, I was quite busy with PSAMP-TECH before...

=20

Kind regards,

Tanja

No problem with that, but [PSAMP-PROTO] must follow otherwise we have a 
problem
Can we still change that in AUTH48 maybe?

I'm wondering whether this is a good idea to add upperCILimit, 
lowerCILimit, and confidenceLevel at this stage.
Because it implies that we need a complete new section in [PSAMP-PROTO] 
(as opposed to just editorial change) similar to "Accuracy Report 
Interpretation" but for the accuracy statement for estimated value. 
Now, the simple solution is to add the information elements in 
PSAMP-INFO and don't discuss the accuracy statement for estimated value 
in [PSAMP-PROTO].

I like your suggestions for absoluteError and relativeError because 
something that was not clear (neither from PSAMP-PROTO or PSAMP-INFO) is 
that we wanted to quantify the accuracy of the measurement estimation, 
as opposed to the accuracy of the estimated value

I would also change "Accuracy Report Interpretation" into "Measurement

Hi Benoit,

I think we need no new section in PSAMP-PROTO and can only introduce the
CI limits in PSAMP-INFO. We can stick with the example in PSAMP-PROTO
but need to clarify that the example is only for the accuracy of
measured values. That means mainly to remove the 2 sentences that refer
to estimation error. It depends how much we can still change in
PSAMP-PROTO. Is removing 2 sentences o.k.?

Kind regards
Tanja
