You disagree that IPv6 links should strive for greater efficiency by
setting a larger MTU than the IPv6 minimum of 1280 bytes if possible?

See: 'draft-ietf-ngtrans-isatap-13.txt', section 6.1.

	correct.  if you want efficiency, dynamic MTU case in mech-v2
	should give you the efficiency.  leave non-dynamic as is (1280).

Can you state your technical objections to setting a larger non-dynamic
value of 1380?

Tony,

Excuse me but why do you say MS?  There are many operating systems that
have deployed IPv6 that in fact do autoregisration.

Thomas,

Send me mail off line you can post this question to an IPv6 Forum
implementors list where Linux, BSD, UNIXes, Microsoft, and Proprietary
OS developers exist to answer this question.  Also handheld developers.

Thanks

Jim,
The problem the way I understand is that with MS we cannot get rid of IPv4
stack, whereas with others we can do.
That is one of the problem we came across while developing VoIPv6 (6VOICE),
which is operational with LINUX but not with MS.

Correct me if wrong, but it appears the fragmentation header rule must be 
included also for the case of MTU 1280 when the IPv4 IP-IP tunnels have DF 
bit set.  Which appears to be the typical case, e.g. one major router 
vendor doesn't even support anything else.

I was commenting on his issue with lack of records in the Windows server
dns table. As I read it the linux implementation was working for him,
and he was having a problem with the MS one. I was not saying anything
else.

What I'm trying to say is that there are implementations of IP-IP 
tunneling (subsequently, IPv6-over-IPv4), which always set DF bit in the 
IPv4 header.

In case that IPv4 path MTU is below 1300 bytes, the wacky fragmentation
header rule needs to stay anyway -- unless these implementations are
deemed non-compliant.

So, in practice, PMTUD may be necessary (to lower the MTU) in these cases
even if IPv6 nodes only send packets of 1280 bytes or smaller.

	RFC2893 is rather clear about DF bit handling - it must not be set
	for tunnel with non-dynamic MTU.  so i would consider the above example
	as "buggy".

Hi Fred,

A couple of general comments.

1. It might be worth incorporating the relevant recommendations
from RFC 1900, by value or by reference.

2. Along those lines, I think you need to say more about finding
and fixing the places where IP addresses are embedded in
configuration files, network management systems, and specifically
in QOS and security systems (e.g. diffserv filters or firewall
rules). This will be the hard part.

I'm wondering what we should do with this draft.

It seems to me to be basically correct (i.e. it says that
there are specific spoofing and DoS attacks using 6to4 that
are harder to trace than "standard" spoofing and DoS attacks).

It is more explicit about the checks to be applied than the base
6to4 specification, but those checks cannot eliminate the attacks.

The document might also assist intrusion-detection implementors
in detecting these attacks.

So I think it should probably be published as an Info RFC, and
if/when we revise the basic 6to4 spec, Pekka's document would
be a source for improving the security section.

Any tunnel creates embedded verification needs unless all parameters are
secure to build it or there are checks to do decap at non-secure points
in the path.  This is not indicative of 6-to-4, but of tunnels.  But it
can be done.  I think it should go to Info RFC too.

That being said 6-to-4 is very close and ready for production wide IPv6
deployment and my recommendation to the public.  It is the only
transition mechanism in this condition mostly because it has been widely
implemented.

It appears ISATAP is close to being the same from what I can tell of
implementations. But, I am still not clear because it is not as clear
and straight forward as 6-to-4 for network operators.  It requires more
bake-off time.  

No comment on Teredo or DSTM at this point but both have initial
implementations and some deployment in some geographies.

I'm a bit biased to answer this, but..

I've been wondering about the same too, due to lack of feedback since the 
last revision from the WG.  I must assume it's perfect ;-)

True enough, they should make it easier to implement 6to4 properly.  This
is also possibly something that could form a basis on what to ask from the
security side if we progress 6to4 to Draft Standard one day.

Pretty much agree, informational seems to be the best way here.  

If we need to fork off separate efforts to modify 6to4 spec or augment
that, it should be in separate, short documents referencing this.

In short, it seems to me that we can't find a proper solution that would 
satisfy everyone at the moment (and we may not even need one really 
badly), so it might make more sense to just push the documentation of the 
issues out and leave specific solutions for later.

Easier to get consensus on this than a specific solution, I think.

Hi Pekka,

Do you think that this document is ready for WG last call for
informational, then?

I think it's pretty much ready. (There are two TBD's, but those can be 
filled in/removed later, and are not crucial; I also need to make a few 
minor ID-nits -type corrections, but those can be done later.)

...

As for the other perspective into this..

One potential problem may be that it isn't formally a WG document (at
least yet).  The question was asked in a session a couple of IETF's back,
but there was pushback then (IIRC -- I think it was because there was
belief that we couldn't really secure 6to4 -- and the focus has now been
on documenting the issues rather than making it bulletproof), but then
again, the document has also evolved since then.

Looking at RFC2418, there seems to be no strict guideline for something
like this.  It seems that any document the WG is working on and touches
its area of expertise could be last-called and even sent to the IESG -- no
need to have it formally approved.  But the practice seems to be
different.  So, the options would seem like:

 1) get WG feedback whether it could be accepted as a WG document,

 2) announce a WG last-call, and/or

 3) send it to the IESG (after possible modifications).

in any possible order (e.g. I could send it to the IESG as an individual
submission, and in turn, it would likely be pushed here for Expert review,
for which a last-call -like process would be necessary) -- but 1-2-3 or
1+2 concurrently and then 3 would seem the most natural approach to me.

Seems a bit confusing, but maybe something like 1+2 would seem 
appropriate.

Getting some action kickstarted before the next IETF, at least, would be
excellent and might reduce the WG load then.

Were there any technical objections to setting a larger non-dynamic
tunnel MTU of 1380?

	keep it to 1280.  MTU of 1280 is the minimum MTU value any IPv6 link
	has to support, therefore even minimal router implementation has to
	support it.

	if you want to get more efficiency, use dynamic tunnel MTU discovery.
	keep the simple one "simple" (= 1280).  don't try to make simple
	mechanism more complex when there's more efficient variant (dynamic
	tunnel MTU) exists.

	and, i don't think you have convinced me on the technical benefits
	of 1380 (the particular value).

If you start mandating a default static MTU of 1380 on a configured
tunnel, then you may very likely have interoperability problmes
with implementations of rfc 2893 that only support static
MTU of 1280.

Since v6ops-mech-v2-00 draft is updating RFC 2893, lets try to
keep it backwards compatible.  Neither drafts absolutely require
PMTU Discovery and thus having different default MTUs may cause
problems and will require reconfiguration.

Perhaps I havn't made myself clear on this point, but I'm not
seeking to mandate a static MTU of 1380. What I am meaning to
suggest is something along the lines that the static MTU assignment
"MUST be no less than 1280 and SHOULD be no greater than 1380".

On this point, it's not clear to me that RFC 2893 specifies a static
MTU of 1280. If you read section 3.2 of that document carefully, you
will see that 1280 is only mentioned within the context of using the
IPv4 path MTU to determine the tunnel MTU. The only text in RFC 2893
that speaks to a static MTU assignment is in the next-to-last paragraph
of section 3.2 where it says that a node may: "...avoid using the IPv4
Path MTU algorithm accross the tunnel and instead use the MTU of the
link layer (under IPv4)...". (But, in many cases, such a choice would
lead to excessive fragmentation).

As far as I can tell, it is OK for the MTU determination schemes
implemented by the tunnel endpoints to be asymmetric. For example,
if nodes A and B are the tunnel endpoints it could be the case that
A uses a static MTU assignment while B implements the dynamic mechanism.
The fact that A and B might be using different default MTUs does not
seem to me have any implications for interoperability.

I think we were discussing the default value.  For default values, 
"something between 1280 and 1380" might not be sensible.  On the other 
hand, if this is not a default value, I certainly don't want anyone 
specifying how big MTU's I *SHOULD* use.

I may be missing something though.

Yes; can also be thought of as the default static or default
stateless value.

OK - then let's continue to discuss about 1380 and not dive
into the "something between" rathole. (I am meaning to answer
Itojun back on his question about the 1380.)

No - larger MTUs are certainly permissible in some circumstances.

The Internet cell size is pretty much 1500 bytes these days, so an
IPv6/IPv4 tunnel MTU of 1500 - 20 = 1480 might seem like a
natural choice. However, link layer encapsulations below the IPv6/IPv4
tunnel may occur, e.g., when the tunnel is carried over a VPN interface.

Microsoft, cisco and others use 1400 bytes as the default MTU for VPN
interfaces in order to allow enough room for link layer encapsulations
(e.g., IPsec, L2TP, PPPoE, etc.) without exceeding the 1500 byte budget
and incurring fragmentation. So, the default IPv6/IPv4 tunnel MTU should
be set to at most 1400 - 20 = 1380.

There are two reasons to set the default MTU as large as 1380 bytes:

  1) 1380 provides a 7.8% efficiency gain over 1280.
  2) 1380 allows 100 bytes for an additional layer of
     IPv6 encapsulation above the IPv6/IPv4 tunnel.

I'm trying to look at this from a different angle: what benefits would
1280 really have (except for simplicity etc.etc. vague things)?

To me, it seems that the features possibly gained by pushing 1280 
could be:

 - can hosts be implemented so that they do not implement fragmentation 
and reassembly? (no difference, it seems)
 - can hosts be implemented so that they don't need to participate 
actively in PMTUD? (no difference, it seems)
 - can hosts be implemented so that they don't need to care for received 
"packet too big" ICMP messages ("passive PMTUD")? (passive PMTUD would 
seem to be required if the host uses 1380 for sending)
 - can hosts be implemented so that they can have a lower MRU than
1500 bytes? (no difference, it seems)
 - ...

As for routers,
 - can routers be implemented so that they do not need to implement 
IPv4 fragmentation and reassembly *for tunnel packets* (note: IPv6 frag + 
reass may be needed anyway, from "host part")?
 - can routers be implemented so that they can have a lower MRU than 1500 
bytes? (can't implement that way, I think.)
 - ...

Please try to come up with some concrete thoughts on this?
(I'm not sure whether 1380 is the best choice anyway, but I'd like to get 
some harder data to back up some rather abstract reasons.)

Hi,

I'd like to raise one issue in the 3gpp-analysis document which bothers me 
a lot.

I'd like to either understand the reasoning for mentioning all the kinds
of automatic tunneling mechanism in this draft, or remove the references.
(the last paragraph of 2.2 quoted below, and some re-editing of the
paragraphs in 3.2.1).

In particular, I feel this is an issue about IGP/BGP tunneling.  It is
possible such methods could be used -- if the network is built just so --
but that's entirely different thing from whether they're a required or
even a recommended solution ("we have a hammer, now let's go find the
nails").

I fail to see anything 3GPP specific in the description of the network in 
3.2.1 and consequently, I'd rather not go down the rathole of describing 
how an ISP would run its network in the 3GPP scenarios/analysis document.  
Rather, I'd try to work out generic ISP scenarios in the ISP 
documents to avoid duplicating the work.

Therefore, I'd like to either understand why this is in scope and what's 
3GPP specific about it, or try to reword the text appropriately (I can 
try to help if needed).

====
 2.2 Tunneling
     
    Tunneling is a transition mechanism that requires dual IPv4/IPv6   
    stack functionality in the encapsulating and decapsulating nodes.  
    Basic tunneling alternatives are IPv6-in-IPv4 and IPv4-in-IPv6.    
    IPv6-in-IPv4 tunneling mechanisms perform as virtual IPv6 links    
    over IPv4, and they are implemented by virtual IPv6 interfaces that
	  are configured over one or more physical IPv4 interfaces. Sending
	nodes encapsulate IPv6 packets in IPv4 packets when the IPv6    
	routing table determines that the next hop toward the IPv6      
	destination address is via a tunnel interface. Receiving nodes  
	decapsulate IPv6 packets from IPv4 packets that arrive on tunnel
	interfaces. Tunneling can be static or dynamic.
        
	Static (configured) tunnels are fixed IPv6 links over IPv4. They   
    require static configuration of the IPv6 source, IPv6 next-hop and 
    IPv4 destination addresses for IPv6-in-IPv4 encapsulation. The IPv6
    destination address is specified by the application and is used to 
    determine the IPv6 next-hop address via longest-prefix-match in the
    IPv6 routing table. Configured tunnels are specified in [RFC2893].
     
    Dynamic (automatic) tunnels enable stateless encapsulation of IPv6-
	in-IPv4. They are virtual IPv6 links over IPv4 where the tunnel
	endpoints are not configured, i.e. the links are created 
    dynamically, and they only require static configuration of the IPv6
	  source address. Like in static tunneling, the IPv6 destination 
	address is specified by the application and it is used to determine
	the IPv6 next-hop address via a longest-prefix-match lookup in the 
	IPv6 routing table. But unlike static tunnels, the IPv4 destination
    address is not configured (fixed); it is derived from the IPv6     
    next-hop address in some way. For example, the IPv4 destination    
    address can be embedded in the IPv6 next-hop address. Examples of  
    dynamic tunneling mechanisms are "6to4" [RFC3056], [ISATAP], [DSTM]
    and [TEREDO].

[...]

 3.2.1 Tunneling inside the 3GPP Operator's Network

    Many GPRS operators already have IPv4 backbone networks deployed
    and they are gradually migrating them while introducing IPv6 
    islands. IPv6 backbones can be considered quite rare in the first  
    phases of the transition. If the 3GPP operator already has IPv6    
    widely deployed in its network, this subsection is not so relevant.
     
    In initial, smaller scale IPv6 deployment, where a small number of
    IPv6 in IPv4 tunnels are required to connect the IPv6 islands over
    the 3GPP operator's IPv4 network, manually configured tunnels can 
    be used. In a 3GPP network, one IPv6 island could contain the GGSN
    while another island contains the operator's IPv6 application
    servers. However, manually configured tunnels can be an 
    administrative burden when the number of islands and therefore
    tunnels rises.
  
    It is also possible to use dynamic tunneling mechanisms such as    
    "6to4" [RFC3056] and IGP/EGP routing protocol based tunneling      
    mechanisms [BGP][IGP]. Routing protocol based mechanisms such as   
    [BGP] consist of running BGP between the neighboring router tunnel 
    endpoints and using multi-protocol BGP extensions to exchange      
    reachability information of IPv6 prefixes. The routers use this    
    information to create IPv6 in IPv4 tunnel interfaces and route IPv6
    packets over the IPv4 network. It is possible to combine this with
    different types of tunnels.
[...]
    The conclusion is that in most "internal" 3GPP scenarios it is 
    preferred to use manually configured tunnels or EGP/IGP based 
    tunneling mechanisms, if it is not feasible to enable IPv6 in the  
    network infrastructure yet.

Hi All,

In SF, we had consensus that the analysis document
produced by the Unmanaged Team would serve as a good
starting place for our work, and that we should accept
it as a WG draft.

The latest version of this document can be found at:

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-huitema-ngtrans-unmaneval-01.txt

Unless there are any objections from the mailing list,
I'll ask the Unmanaged Team to publish the next version
as a WG I-D.

Thanks,
Margaret

Hi All,

In SF, we discussed the need for an applicability statement
for NAT-PT.  There was consensus of the WG to produce this
applicability statement, and many people said that they
were willing to work on it.

The chairs would like to spin up this effort before Vienna.

Could people who are willing to spend time working on a
NAT-PT applicability document please send mail to me, Pekka
and Bob by next Wednesday (May 21st)?  We'll then put
together a design team to do this work.

Thanks,
Margaret

Hi All,

Erik's message (below) and the current Transition Mechanisms draft
match the agreement of the WG, as of the last time this issue was
discussed.

The chairs have discussed this issue, and we don't believe that the
recent discussion on this topic has demonstrated a consensus to
change the previous decision.  So, we don't think that there is a
need to modify what the document currently says about MTU values
or Path MTU discovery.

If anyone believes that there is a blocking technical issue with
the current document wording, please let us know.  Otherwise, the
document should remain as-is.

Thanks,
Margaret

 Hi, Pekka!

Trying to briefly answer your questions considering the issue.

-----Original Message-----
From: ext Pekka Savola [mailto:pekkas@netcore.fi]
Sent: 14 May, 2003 14:33

I'd like to raise one issue in the 3gpp-analysis document which bothers me 
a lot.

I'd like to either understand the reasoning for mentioning all the kinds
of automatic tunneling mechanism in this draft, or remove the references.
(the last paragraph of 2.2 quoted below, and some re-editing of the
paragraphs in 3.2.1).

  JW: What comes to the tunneling text in 2.2, I am fine with shortening it. There actually isn't anything 3GPP-specific, it is more like general tunneling description that is already described elsewhere (RFC 2893, etc...). As you see, the references to DSTM, ISATAP and TEREDO are informational references and thus not vital in this document. They are just mentioned as examples of tunneling mechanisms. Would making the tunneling text shorter (e.g. one paragraph) and removing the references to mechanisms (that are not used in this document) be a good thing to do in your opinion?

In particular, I feel this is an issue about IGP/BGP tunneling.  It is
possible such methods could be used -- if the network is built just so --
but that's entirely different thing from whether they're a required or
even a recommended solution ("we have a hammer, now let's go find the
nails").

  JW: Well, I don't think we can give unambiguous recommendations. It is much better to discuss different solution alternatives. Anyway, we can't require any solutions to be used by operators. We had some discussion with other authors (especially Karim) how to edit the text. One point that was brough up in the discussion was redundancy. Static tunnels on their own don't give a solution if a route goes down. Instead, EGP/IGP mechanisms support this. Say that I have multiple tunnels to two router endpoints connected to the same network. If one goes down I would like to start tunnelling to the other. Do you have any comments on this?

I fail to see anything 3GPP specific in the description of the network in 
3.2.1 and consequently, I'd rather not go down the rathole of describing 
how an ISP would run its network in the 3GPP scenarios/analysis document.  
Rather, I'd try to work out generic ISP scenarios in the ISP 
documents to avoid duplicating the work.

  JW: I fully agree with you that we should not do work that actually belongs to the ISP design team. What kind of text would you suggest in our document? 

Therefore, I'd like to either understand why this is in scope and what's 
3GPP specific about it, or try to reword the text appropriately (I can 
try to help if needed).

  JW: Certainly, your help is appreciated!

 Thanks for your comments,

		-Juha W.-

Margaret,

The message from Erik you are quoting is out-dated. In his most recent
message to the list, Erik said:

We were in the middle of a discussion on this subject on the list, and
I had addressed the technical points raised by itojun and Vlad Yasevich.
I find it irregular and indeed unfair that the chairs would go off and
make a private decision while the technical discussion was still taking
place. In short, I object to this action by the chairs.

Fred,

Let me respectfully disagree with you.
The current discussion does not seem to converge
and I'd like to see this document moving forward.
As this is, with all due respect, not a major issue,
I welcome leadership from the chairs and I say,
let's move on, if not, we'll be here again next year.

	- Alain.

Hi All,

I just wanted to let you know what is happening with our
various "Survey" drafts...

As we discussed in SF, I have sent the drafts to the ADs
for each area, so that they can comment on the contents
and advise us on the best way to get each draft reviewed
within the correct area.

Response so far has been quite positive.  As expected, there
are a number of RFCs that need to be re-categorized, and I
will concatenate that information and send it to Phil.

Once we have new drafts out with all of the RFCs properly
categorized, I hope that we will be able to get the areas
to review the contents in more detail.

Margaret

I am sorry that you interpreted my message this way.

I have read the discussion, and it appears to me that this is
a situation where one person has made a suggestion to raise the
MTU to 1380, and several people have written back indicating
that there is no reason to make this change.

The current wording in the document was the result of a
much more extensive earlier discussion, and we would need
some new information or technical justifications to warrant
revisiting that decision.

IMO, it is not necessary that the people who would like
the document to remain as-is provide technical justification
for a default MTU of 1280, it is up to you to provide
technical justifications for why a change is necessary.

If there is some new information available that warrants
reconsidering this decision, please let me know what it
is.  Or, if there is a serious technical flaw with the
current wording, please explain.

Also, if there are other people who think that we should
change the default MTU in this document to 1380, please
feel free to speak up and explain why.

Margaret

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.


	Title		: Scalable mNAT-PT Solution
	Author(s)	: S. Park et al.
	Filename	: draft-park-scalable-multi-natpt-00.txt
	Pages		: 10
	Date		: 2003-5-15
	
This document provides scalability extension to NAT-PT. The extension 
is based on the use of DNS-ALG and exchange of load metrics amongst a
cluster of NAT-PT devices. We refer such a NAT-PT device as mNAT-PT. 
mNAT-PT is valuable in connecting large V6 domains to legacy V4 
domain.

A URL for this Internet-Draft is:

This does not bother me.  But lets move this document forward and my
input to the authors is as follows.  We need this doc out more than
anyother work in the IETF for v6ops.  Just scale it back than fighting
this battle with Pekka or others here for 3 months.  We can build a
white paper in the industry and say whatever we want about tunnels and
the ones we want to use including Teredo if we want.  But for the doc
give them what they want and lets move forward.  We will build use and
methods out of the IETF for deployment and 3GPP authors contact me
offline and I can explain how we drive this and get it done in 3GPP
implementor community.

Juha,

We need this for deployment as you have it.  I don't agree with Pekka.
But lets just build a deployment paper out of here.  There are going to
many of them rolling out soon.

Yes, 1-2 paragraphs (one about tunneling in general, possibly one about
static/dynamic distinction) without going too far into the specifics would
seem to be a good approach -- enough to give the reader an impression 
about the basic choices he has.

If an operator wishes redundancy, he will run routing protocol(s) on top
of his network infrastructure. This would be the case e.g. if the IPv6
network was run on top of static ATM PVC's.

In the case of IPv6-over-IPv4, this is often not (as) necessary (but there
are some other failure modes in some scenarios), if the IPv4
infrastructure is redundant and there is an IPv4 routing protocol to
ensure the reachability.  On the other hand, if you cannot rely on the
IPv4 infrastructure, you have to run the routing protocol anyway.

It seems to me that IGP/EGP mechanisms provide little added value here --
except if you have a very large number of IPv6-enabled routers you wish to
connect in a full-mesh manner, and manual configuration would be a chore.  
Such operators have a lot of other chores too, as managing the other
aspects of the routers is not simple either.

I've having difficulty picturing that particular deployment (a lot of
routers, dense mesh instead of some hierarchy, etc.) to be a requirement.

I'm missing something.

=> If you're tunnel end point is a certain IPv4 address 
and that address is statically configured I don't 
understand the relevance of the IPv4 routing infrastructure
and potential redudancy. If you always tunnel to B and 
B crashes (B was manually configured) what can IPv4
routing do here ?

=> Don't see the relevance to the point. Am I missing
a few things :( ?

Hope I'm able to clarify..

Because the operator must ensure the redundancy of his IPv4 infrastructure 
*anyway*, thus must run an IPv4 routing protocol.  So, if a link becomes 
unreachable to tunnel end-point X, the IPv4 routing protocol will route 
around the problem, and X will still be reachable.  This is invisible to 
IPv6.

Nothing.  But then IPv4 infrastructure will be dead too.

When/if you're worried about this (and most are), they create two or three 
tunnels/connections: backup connectivity.  This covers crashing of one 
single device by routing around it.  For more extensive discussion, see 
below.

I'm not sure.. see above?

The point I tried to make here is that in the real world, connections are 
like:
             /-------- [network] -------\
            /                            \
R1 .--''''-.              |               \   RA
  ( network )             |               - [network]
R2 '--____-'\                            /    RB
             \-------- [network] -------/

.. they do not rely on just one device, and if that fails, you're in 
problems.  (Actually, many networks do have single points of failure, but 
that's their operational/security decision.

Now, in a rather quick picture above, if you want to tunnel between 
network on the left and network on the right, you typically have:

 o an IPv4 routing protocol running which includes everything here

 o if redundancy is important, both networks have two routers and proper 
internal infrastructure to handle the redundancy (R1 + R2, RA + RB).

 o if you want to build a direct tunnel between the two, you can either:
    1) build it between virtual loopback interfaces, one from each
        - that is, create a specific address which is configured at 
          both {R1,R2} and {RA,RB} and put that in the routing protocol 
          and configure the tunnel between R_12 and R_AB on all of them. 
    2) build it between one of each, e.g. R1-RA (or R2-RB, or whatever)
    3) build it between two of each, e.g. R1-RA, R2-RB (or whatever), or
    4) build a full mesh between all of them: R1-RA, R1-RB, R2-RA, R2-RB

The IPv4 routing protocol ensures that the redundancy in the last bullet 
is only needed when one of the tunnel endpoints goes down.  If there is no 
IPv4 routing protocol, IPv6 routing protocol must be used to ensure 
rerouting.

Now, between the alternatives of the last bullet.  These have different
tradeoffs.  The first is the easiest thing in a way if you require
end-point redundancy as it requires only one tunnel.  The second is the 
most used scenario: there you take a risk that the endpoint goes down; in 
some cases, it may be acceptable.  If you don't want to do it, you can 
pick the third option: the chance that both devices would be down at the 
same time is very rare: this is not a single point of failure anymore.  
That last option is typically too heavy to consider here.

Speaking of personal operational ISP experience with IPv6-in-IPv4, we've 
done 2) and 3).  Especially 3) should give you everything you'd wish.

So, I think you have to consider how much edge network redundancy you want
(and what you're willing to pay for it, as there is no free lunch).

Sorry for rambling, just trying to explain better why this is not such a 
problem (IMHO) as one may think.

Which part are you referring to?  (The above explanation should also cover 
this.)

Unfortunately I think I know (a bit) what you refer to, but please 
elaborate.

I really hope that those who have designed the networks know what they're
doing, and what kind of tradeoffs it entails.

=> Thanks for the summary. It seems to me that you are
agreeing with the redundancy argument but you don't
want to automate the whole process, why? 
Instead of configuring multiple tunnels why not allow
the routing to give you the full mesh (option 4) of tunnels
in a dynamic manner? 

Your argument boils down to (I think): we can do this
manually, therefore solving it dynamically is not needed.

We can also configure addresses manually but having dynamic
address allocation makes things easier so I don't think
that's a reason to discourage dynamic mechanisms.

The point is not have X crash.  If this is considered a problem, a backup
connection is built&configured so that the routing protocol can switch
over to it in case it does.

I assume you mean SPoF.

Right, it depends on your network infrastructure.  Networks are typically
hierarchical, with some added routers for redundancy depending on the
level you want.  If you tunnel from an edge router to some router and your
edge router dies, your connectivity in the edge dies too unless you've
backed them up.

If the edge networks where the tunnels originate are not backed up, 
backing up in the core may not be justified.

Yes.  And it adds complexity which is unnecessary, and has some other 
problems as well (e.g. automated, open-to-the-world tunneling is always 
dangerous).  Also, did you know that BGP tunneling has IPR claims?

Another point is that it seems to be much easier to just deploy/upgrade to
a dual-stack backbone than start with an overlay network, and just add a
few tunnels here and there when appropriate or where necessary, the number
to be reduced at will.

But some ISPs are so fond of overlay network model they may want to build
such networks anyway.  AFAICS, this is nothing specific to 3GPP.  
Therefore, an extensive analysis of this case -- whether it's really
neeeded, how to address it, etc. -- belongs to the ISP documents, not
3GPP.

=> That words between brackets above are not relevant
to this tunnelling mechanism, this is more relevant
to a 6-to-4 relay model, which is not what is being 
discussed. Routing protocols can be secured. 


  Also, did you know that BGP tunneling has IPR claims?

=> No.

=> I agree that it's not specific to 3GPP, it is relevant
to any operator deploying an IP network so perhaps 
a general discussion on whether this is needed is better 
than associating it with any draft.

It's not as bad as 6to4 but any mechanism implementing any kind of
automatic tunneling requires very careful review.  The spec is very weak
on security considerations.  For example, there is no description how the
route advertisements in practice build and tear down the tunnel.

My fear is that implementations doing this would implement something
similar to "automatic tunneling interface with compatible addresses", 
which is inherently insecure.

There must be prior authentication before a tunneled packet is accepted.  
But being a routing protocol, this might be doable (automatic configured 
tunneling vs. automatic tunneling).

Now you do.  I have been quite critical of the technique in the past, 
and this does nothing to change it, quite the contrary.

Well, there has been general discussion of NAT-PT (or translation) too --
but that's something that's applicable in all scenarios.  This is really
only an option in the ISP networks, so I think examining it in the ISP
context only, in those documents, seems the most useful approach.

=> That can be clarified of course. But I don't see
a fundamental security issue with this approach.
You advertise reachability as you do today.

=> It's applicable to anyone running a large IP network.
There is a complete overlap in some cases between the 
different scenarios being considered.

Hi,

I've tried to think of ways how to edit the text a bit.  Let's see..:

                                                            Examples of
    dynamic tunneling mechanisms are "6to4" [RFC3056], [ISATAP], [DSTM]
    and [TEREDO].

==> replace with:

 An example of dynamic tunneling mechanism is "6to4" [RFC3056].

In 3.2.1, replace:

    Many GPRS operators already have IPv4 backbone networks deployed
    and they are gradually migrating them while introducing IPv6
    islands. IPv6 backbones can be considered quite rare in the first
    phases of the transition. If the 3GPP operator already has IPv6 
    widely deployed in its network, this subsection is not so relevant.
     
    In initial, smaller scale IPv6 deployment, where a small number of
    IPv6 in IPv4 tunnels are required to connect the IPv6 islands over
    the 3GPP operator's IPv4 network, manually configured tunnels can
    be used. In a 3GPP network, one IPv6 island could contain the GGSN
    while another island contains the operator's IPv6 application       
    servers. However, manually configured tunnels can be an 
    administrative burden when the number of islands and therefore   
    tunnels rises. 

    It is also possible to use dynamic tunneling mechanisms such as
    "6to4" [RFC3056] and IGP/EGP routing protocol based tunneling  
    mechanisms [BGP][IGP]. Routing protocol based mechanisms such as
    [BGP] consist of running BGP between the neighboring router tunnel
    endpoints and using multi-protocol BGP extensions to exchange 
    reachability information of IPv6 prefixes. The routers use this
    information to create IPv6 in IPv4 tunnel interfaces and route IPv6
    packets over the IPv4 network. It is possible to combine this with 
    different types of tunnels. 
     
    "6to4" nodes use special IPv6 addresses with a "6to4" prefix
    containing the IPv4 address of the corresponding "IPv6 in IPv4"
    tunnel endpoint ("6to4" router) which performs encapsulation / 
    decapsulation. When connecting two nodes with "6to4" addresses, the
    corresponding "6to4" routers use the IPv4 addresses specified in   
    the "6to4" prefixes to tunnel IPv6 packets through the IPv4 
    network. But if only one of them has a "6to4" address, a "6to4"
    relay must be present to perform the missing "6to4" router 
    functionality for the native-IPv6 node. In this case there are two
    deployment options for "IPv6 in IPv4" tunneling between the "6to4"
    router and the relay. The first option assumes that "6to4" routers
    using a given relay each have a default IPv6 route (configured    
    tunnel) pointing to that relay. The other one consists of using an
    IPv6 exterior routing protocol; this way the set of "6to4" routers
    using a given relay obtain native IPv6 routes from it using a 
    routing protocol such as BGP4+ [RFC2283]. Although this solution is
    more complex, it provides effective policy control, i.e. BGP4+ 
    policy determines which "6to4" routers are able to use which relay.
     
    The conclusion is that in most "internal" 3GPP scenarios it is
	preferred to use manually configured tunnels or EGP/IGP based 
    tunneling mechanisms, if it is not feasible to enable IPv6 in the
    network infrastructure yet. 

with:

    Many GPRS operators already have IPv4 backbone networks deployed
    and they are gradually migrating them while introducing IPv6
    islands. IPv6 backbones can be considered quite rare in the first
    phases of the transition. If the 3GPP operator already has IPv6
    widely deployed in its network, this subsection is not so relevant.

    In initial, smaller scale IPv6 deployment, where a small number of
    IPv6 in IPv4 tunnels are required to connect the IPv6 islands over
    the 3GPP operator's IPv4 network, manually configured tunnels can
    be used. In a 3GPP network, one IPv6 island could contain the GGSN
    while another island contains the operator's IPv6 application
    servers.

    However, manually configured tunnels can be an
    administrative burden when the number of islands and therefore
    tunnels rises.  In that case, upgrading parts of the backbone
    to dual stack may be the simplest choice.  The administrative
    burden could also be mitigated by using automated management
    tools which are typically necessary to manage large networks
    anyway.  Even a dynamic tunneling mechanism could be used
    if other methods are not suitable.

    As there is nothing 3GPP-specific in how the core networks
    are built, further analysis is done in the context of ISP
    scenarios and solutions [ISP].

(The first two paragraphs are basically unchanged; removed the dynamic 
tunneling chapter, longer 6to4 consideration and the conclusion.  Also, 
add an informative reference to the ISP scenarios document.)

Thoughts?

That removes some useful info for 3gpp people.
What did you not like about pointing out the main mechanisms
which 3gpp should be aware of? IMO we should keep all the above.
Or are you saying that the other mechanisms except 6to4 should
not be considered because they are not RFCs?

I don't think this is a viable or simple choice in many cases. The
operator should be free to upgrade the backbone independently of the
number of sites. Some may want to delay that upgrade.

Also there is no discussion about reliability of connections.
Doing this with static tunnels (manually configuring a mesh of
static tunnels) and relying on v4 routing protocols does not
seem like something we can recommend above everything else.
It's an option but using a routing protocol you would achieve
the same thing without the mesh of static routes.

Most importantly there are some routing scenarios in which you
will not detect a route failure if you are using static routes.
I have been involved in several mobile network designs and
these cases are quite common, just like in any other network.
So I would not recommend static tunnels as the first choice.

Putting the technical aspect aside, you brought up the patent
issue with one of the routing protocol mechanisms. Although
we should favour non-patented solutions, are we cutting out
all routing protocol based solutions because of this patent?

Do you mean automated management tools for configuring static tunnels?

Seems like you want us to clearly say we prefer static instead
of dynamic tunnelling but I don't think we have an agreement here.
Maybe we should pose this issue to routing folks?

I would replace "core" with backbone since there are some differences
in 3gpp terms.

The last time I looked at the ISP case, they recommended sticking
with BGP for exchanging info over the EGP boundary. That is
different from what you are suggesting we write above.

I fail to see how those techniques would be useful for 3GPP people.  
Well, maybe DSTM could be leveraged, a bit, but it's not really even an
automatic tunneling mechanism.  It's all just irrelevant information in 
this context.

6to4 is only one of those currently on our charter, widely deployed and 
used, and RFC.   If we have to pick an example of automatic tunneling, 
6to4 is the best candidate.  Alternatively, the whole automatic tunneling 
section could be deleted.

The operator can, of course, do however he/she wants to.  IETF cannot 
and should not mandate it.  But we can document some ways which seem 
preferable.

I've been been there when IPv6 coexistance has been planned and 
implemented for at least 3 ISP networks (each with gigabit-level traffic 
levels).  In all of those cases, dual stack has been *by far* the simplest 
choice, augmented by a tunnel here and there.  There may be other cases, 
of course, too -- to be identified in the ISP scenarios if necessary.

There isn't because that discussion is not specific to 3GPP.  We could 
tail down the section more if that'd be closer what you expect?

Static tunnels include routing protocols, as above.

Or maybe it should be spelled out that in case of configured tunnels, it
may be desirable to have redundancy and run a routing protocol.

Not explicitly.  I think there is a need to identify the real scenarios
and which approaches seem to make the most sense.  I'm unconvinced there's
anything 3GPP-specific here.  This doesn't exclude some (future) findings
in the ISP scenarios.

Yes.

Yes.

This seems more like an operational issue, not a protocol issue.  And this 
happens to be an ops working group :-).

I'm not sure with the terminology, but backbone is probably better, yes.

I'm not sure what you're saying.  The last time I looked, the ISP
scenarios didn't include *any* discussion to warrant any automatic routing
protocol tunneling mechanisms, yes.  But the document isn't finished yet.

I have used ISATAP in 2.5 & 3G mobile networks and think it
is a very relevant mechanism. What is your experience of
these mechanisms in mobile networks that makes you say this?

What reasons would it be preferable for? Cost? Ease of deployment?
I have talked to some who don't think it is cheaper or easier
so I don't think we should make this preference. We could say that
if the operator finds that the risk/cost allows the backbone
to be upgraded then this could avoid tunnelling. But I guess this
is quite obvious.

In my experience (mobile operators) it is not favoured by many.

But there is a requirement of high reliability in general
in mobile networks which isn't always there in other scenarios.

No! I want it to say more. This document is supposed to help
3gpp deploy these networks.

Above I talked about running v4 routing protocols while tunnelling
v6-in-v4. That doesn't solve all the v6 route failure cases.

Run a routing protocol where? Inside the tunnel (v6 routing protocol)
and a v4 routing protocol as well? In that case I would simplify things
by running a single routing protocol that can exchange both v6 and
v4 routes.

We don't need to cover what is in the ISP scenarios.
However we need to give a guideline doc for 3gpp networks.
I don't see why we should go and put 3gpp reliability or
tunnelling transition mechanism requirements on the ISP doc.
Also I've had a look at the ISP work and I thought the 3gpp doc
and the ISP doc were pretty much in line when it came to the
overlap regions.

If we have routing experts in this wg I think their input would
be helpful.

Hello all,

It seems that one of the charter items of this working group:

3. Publish Informational RFCs that help application developers
  (within and outside the IETF) understand how to develop IP
  version-independent applications.  Work with the Applications
  area, and other areas, to ensure that these documents answer
  the real-world concerns of application developers.  This
  includes helping to identify IPv4 dependencies in existing
  IETF application protocols and working with other areas and/or
  groups within the IETF to resolve them.

has seen little progress.

Thus, we'd like to solicit input on opinions how to proceed in this area.

At least one related individual submission exists in addition to some 
outside-of-the-IETF documentation:

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-shin-v6ops-application-transition-00.txt

 - do you feel this effort is something that we should be working on?
 - is this specific draft a good starting point for that work?
 - do you have ideas for other approaches which might be more 
suitable (in replacement or in addition to it)?

Obviously the abovementioned draft needs more work if the approach should
be pursued, but it would be nice to get a feel of the working group where
we should go first.

Thanks for your comments.

Pekka, Margaret & Bob

ISATAP doesn't allow you you to connect more than a single host.  It
doesn't allow routers or networks (e.g. a /64 as recommended to the 3GPP).  
Thus, I see it being of little use at least in the 3GPP-specific part.

Well, we (as the working group) should document cases how to deploy IPv6
in the common case, using widely applicable mechanisms.  Obviously, some
approaches are more preferable (without defining the metric, as it isn't a
single one) than others.  One point to look at might be RFC3439, "Some
Internet Architectural Guidelines and Philosophy".

I'm not quite convinced that based on 3GPP analysis this yet fulfils the 
criteria for this.

That may be due to real or wrong reasons.  That's something to be found
out by better analysis of it in the ISP context.

It's supposed to help in 3GPP environment, not (IMO) in how 3GPP operators 
could act as ISP's, and how to build their ISP-grade backbone networks.  
These are two separate issues.

Routing protocols can be run in both v4 and v6.  Whichever combination 
seems useful for the operator. Together, they address all concerns.

Yes -- if you want a simple network, you can do this quite easily by
running, for example, IS-IS on a dual-stack backbone.

For example, we run OSPF for IPv4 and IS-IS for IPv6 only.  That's not a 
problem for us.  It's better that way, for now -- we could introduce a new 
IPv6 routing protocol without disturbing the existing one at all, as 
they're completely separate.

So there are tradeoffs both ways.

I think we have different concepts of the scope of the 3GPP case.  I think
it's focus is, and should be, on how the 3GPP-specified part operates
(like SIP interactions, providing v4/v6 connectivity to the 3GPP devices,
etc.), and how we most fluently merge it with IPv6.

*NOT* how to implement backbone networks.  (Which is certainly an 
interesting topic, but really something which is best fit under ISP 
context because that's where backbone networks of such grade are 
deployed.)

Agree.

I meddle with routing every day, but you already know my opinion *).  I'd
like to hear others' as well.

*)  How do you think big operators handle issues like:
 - updating a piece of configuration (e.g. access-lists, route-maps, 
policies) on dozens or hundreds of routers
 - configuring iBGP meshes between routers
 - update their eBGP filters on their border routers

.. other than by (advanced) management tools, or by a lot of manual work?
The former would help with tunnels too, but in the latter case the NOC 
folks are so used to it it doesn't matter anyway.  Pick your poison :-).

Along with that draft a good pointer to documents looking like:

Implementing AF-independent application by Jun-ichiro itojun Itoh:
http://www.kame.net/newsletter/19980604/ 
(Mentioned as AF-APP in the References section)

and:
Eva M. Castro's "Porting applications to IPv6":
http://jungla.dit.upm.es/~ecastro/IPv6-web/ipv6.html

Are good starting points. Maybe these can be merged into one document?
Especially Eva's seperate examples make things much clearer than
in the current draft.

Greets,
 Jeroen

I don't know exactly the scenarios Karim is referring to, and I don't
quite understand Pekka's comment. But, I do see a use case for ISATAP
in the text of section 3.1 of "Analysis on IPv6 Transition in 3GPP
Networks".

Whether/not the case described in this section will be common is a point
which can't be proven until significant 3G deployment has occurred, but
ISATAP does seem to provide a good fit.

That's exactly what I was talking about. I tried it in our lab and in
trials over 3G and it worked just fine.

We have to make it easy for people to start using IPv6 now that
some 3G networks have been deployed and launched commercially.
So I agree with Fred that in the above case ISATAP is a good fit.

I haven't read the analysis in detail, but the latest Scenarios draft at
least *seems* to very explicitly mention that GGSN supports both IPv4 and
IPv6.

So what appears to be in the analysis document appears to branch into a 
very questionable direction.

Yes you can connect one host on one tunnel which is useful in early
stages and in special roaming cases for example as documented in
the draft. /64 is recommended to 3GPP for IPv6-only connections
(PDP Contexts). ISATAP is used when you have IPv4-only connections.
It's described in the analysis doc.

It looks to me like the best way to proceed is to keep what we have in
the analysis document until we can get the output from the ISP team to
see if we are missing things and where to reference the ISP doc.

Fine. I assume we'll see it spelled out in the ISP documents.

It's hard to define a 3gpp environment as a separate entity.
We can consider mobile network sites connected to a generic
backbone, which is what we've done in the analysis doc.

No problem with that. But we must consider both IPv4 and IPv6
backbones between the mobile network sites.

That's OK, but your scenario covers the internal backbone routing
(IGPs) which is outside the 3gpp analysis scope. However external
connectivity from mobile network sites is in scope. That's a different
scenario where you typically use EGPs (already deployed). That's why we
have the discussion in the doc which considers as one case that in
which the backbone has not yet been migrated to v6. I will be looking
at the ISP docs when they are out to make sure there are no contradictions.

We're covering how to connect mobile network sites (some may be
migrated to v6 before others) to the backbone. That creates some
overlap with the ISP work but so far it's not been an issue IMO.

I was hoping we would not add more manual config than there is
already if possible. Also, just to clarify, iBGP meshes and eBGP
filters would typically be within the backbone ISP scope.

I am pretty certain that's not what the doc says.
First, the fact that the GGSN can support IPv6 and IPv4 routing does
not mean that it has support for IPv6 native connectivity to mobile hosts.
Secondly we cannot guarantee that all GGSNs from all operators
will support IPv6 at the same time. Some GGSNs will only support
IPv4 as they do today.

It seems to that the clear implication from the draft is:

"If you want IPv4, use an IPv4 GGSN"
"If you want IPv6, use an IPv6 GGSN"

These do not need to be the same.  This seems clearly stated in Scenarios 
sect 3.1

PDP contexts could be opened to different service boxes in a service
provider's network (whichever support IPv6); and if the service provider
does not support *any* IPv6, the user is on its own *anyway*.

(of course, the UE could support a transition mechanism itself but I find 
that a bit questionable approach -- the goal is to make 3GPP devices 
simple not complex.)

I can imagine but it's not the only thing that's difficult :-)

I don't know this scenario in enough detail to say much of anything, but 
it seems to me that you consider these mobile network sites similar to 
PoPs (Point of Presence) or even PE (Provider Edge) routers.  In which 
case, there doesn't seem to be anything 3GPP-specific in them.

Could you tell me why EGP's are used in such a context?  Aren't those 
mobile network sites under a single administration.

Naturally, you run BGP in addition to IGP's, but that's beside the point; 
the IGP's is basically what you use to ensure redundancy.

The point is, to avoid contradictions *later* and to make it faster to 
progress the drafts in other fronts (seem to be last-call or almost IESG 
material already), it would seem to be preferable to try to keep away 
from non-3GPP discussion in 3GPP documents.

Yes, that's of a value, but IMHO it seems to me, that it isn't of *that
much* value.. as mechanism where these are really needed have to be in
place anyway..

Exactly, why something like this is better analyzed in the ISP context.

Hi Pekka, all,

I agree that this work is important, and is a good starting point.

As I'm not expert in the applications part, I forwarded it to people that is already working in applications, so they can try to
contribute.

Regards,
Jordi

Hi Pekka

For the IPv6 Operation, application consideration should be considered.
It's a fit issue.

Subject: IP version-independent app development guidelines?


Hello all,

It seems that one of the charter items of this working group:

3. Publish Informational RFCs that help application developers
  (within and outside the IETF) understand how to develop IP
  version-independent applications.  Work with the Applications
  area, and other areas, to ensure that these documents answer
  the real-world concerns of application developers.  This
  includes helping to identify IPv4 dependencies in existing
  IETF application protocols and working with other areas and/or
  groups within the IETF to resolve them.

has seen little progress.

Thus, we'd like to solicit input on opinions how to proceed in this
area.

At least one related individual submission exists in addition to some 
outside-of-the-IETF documentation:

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-shin-v6ops-application-transit
ion-00.txt

 - do you feel this effort is something that we should be working on?
 - is this specific draft a good starting point for that work?
 - do you have ideas for other approaches which might be more 
suitable (in replacement or in addition to it)?

Obviously the abovementioned draft needs more work if the approach
should
be pursued, but it would be nice to get a feel of the working group
where
we should go first.

Thanks for your comments.

Pekka, Margaret & Bob

I think people is worried about network translation and not many
studies arise around application porting. From my point of view, some
porting applications guidelines should be described around the socket
API as a draft. The IPv6 extensions to the socket API are an RFC, but
not only strictly API changes should be considered but also all IP
depencies in the source code.

I would be to glad to help and complete the previous porting

You can't really choose to use one or the other GGSN. You request
an IPv6 connection and if it doesn't work you revert to using IPv4
and some automated tunnelling like ISATAP. There are other mechanisms
also that I don't think we can exclude yet, which is why at least
mentioning the few applicable mechanisms in the draft is important.

My view is very different as you have realised already. I think we need
to have transition mechanisms for early v6 introduction stages and special
roaming cases which allow the user to access those v6 e.g. peer2peer
services even when a v6 pdp context is not available. I've tried it in
real networks and a simple mechanism like ISATAP works fine. Anyway we
seem not to be taking steps forward with this discussion so I'll
stop here.

Maybe O'Reilly is a good one?

The example PDF looks promising, I just can't make much out of it :)

 Hi, Karim and Pekka!

In my opinion, the simplest (and most straightforward) way is to use IPv6 PDP context, if you use IPv6 services and use IPv4 PDP context, if you use IPv4 (legacy) services. And that should be the main way, how things are handled.

However, it is possible that in the early phases of IPv6 deployment, there is no IPv6-capable GGSN (or SGSN/HLR) in the network (in the home or visited 3gpp network as Karim explained below) and the user still wants to use IPv6 - that's the special case we document in 3.1. I think that the current text "...the UE may activate an IPv4 PDP context and tunnel IPv6 packets in IPv4 packets using a tunneling mechanism. Tunneling in the UE requires dual stack capability in the UE. ..." is quite good. We can mention some tunneling mechanisms that can be used in that case (informative references), or just mention some dynamic tunneling mechanism alternatives in 2.2, as we do in the current document. Anyway, I feel that we cannot explicitely state, which tunneling mechanism should be used.

Cheers,
	-Juha W.-

You can't really choose to use one or the other GGSN. You request
an IPv6 connection and if it doesn't work you revert to using IPv4
and some automated tunnelling like ISATAP. There are other mechanisms
also that I don't think we can exclude yet, which is why at least
mentioning the few applicable mechanisms in the draft is important.

My view is very different as you have realised already. I think we need
to have transition mechanisms for early v6 introduction stages and special
roaming cases which allow the user to access those v6 e.g. peer2peer
services even when a v6 pdp context is not available. I've tried it in
real networks and a simple mechanism like ISATAP works fine. Anyway we
seem not to be taking steps forward with this discussion so I'll
stop here.

Hi Randy and Bert,

On behalf of the v6ops WG, we request that the following document be
published as an Informational RFC:

Title :     Transition Scenarios for 3GPP Networks
Editor :    J. Soininen
Filename :  draft-ietf-v6ops-3gpp-cases-03.txt
Date :      March 2003

The document can be found at:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-v6ops-3gpp-cases-03.txt

A working group last call for this document was completed on 2 March
2003, and this draft resolves the issues raised during last call.  This
document was also reviewed and endorsed by the 3GPP SA2 group in May
2003 and has been endorsed by 3GPP.

Thanks,
Bob Fink, Pekka Savola and Margaret Wasserman
v6ops Working Group Chairs

Margaret,

One comment on the document (perhaps this should go to the authors) is
that section 6 needs to add a bullet such as:

  - To meet case Bprefix sharing requirements, we need a standardized
    multi-link subnet mechanism

Other than that, the document looks good.

Hi All,

As you know, a while back we discussed the formation
of a v6ops document review team.  Many people volunteered
for the team or provided feedback on this idea, for which
we thank you.

Since our initial discussion, though, the SIRs effort
has been initiated to try to build an IETF-wide review
process.  So, we have decided to place the idea of
a v6ops document review team on-hold, until we can
determine whether or not the SIRs process will come
to fruition.

We will let you know when/if we decide to reinitiate
this effort.

Thanks,
Bob Fink, Pekka Savola, Margaret Wasserman

I think I know now why I was confused by your point on isatap not
allowing more than a single host. It is not strictly the case that nodes
on an isatap link must use isatap addresses as the source/destination
addresses in packets. If there is a way for the isatap router to discover
host routes, then  nodes on the isatap link can use , e.g., RFC 3041
privacy addresses.

In other words, the only addresses that need to be in isatap format are
those that appear in the next-hop fields of a node's IPv6 routing table
entries. (In many cases, those next-hop addresses could simply be link-
local.) As such, a single isatap client can connect many additional hosts.

  I also feel this effort should be working on.

  Of course, this draft should get a broader view and needs more work.
  If there is a consensus, I will try to complete this draft (as a starting point).

  Thanks,

I think this is useful to pursue as work and agree with Eva's caveats
from that mail.
Richard Stevens book is in process of update too fyi.  Just lets not use
this to reopen that which has been decided in base and advanced api
documents though, as those are being used today now widely.  but how to
use them operationally.  this should not be standards track work either.

 - do you feel this effort is something that we should be working on?
 - is this specific draft a good starting point for that work?
 - do you have ideas for other approaches which might be more 
suitable (in replacement or in addition to it)?

Obviously the abovementioned draft needs more work if the approach
should be pursued, but it would be nice to get a feel of the working
group where we should go first.

Thanks for your comments.

Pekka, Margaret & Bob

Indeed -- but I think this is a rather challenging problem in operator <->
user interface (where it has been proposed in this context), as routing
protocol cannot be used.

Was your point about ISATAP in general, or did you have some method for 
host route discovery in mind for this particular case?

That's OK. Even better than using a routing protocol is dhcpv6 prefix 
delegation,
with the isatap routers serving as delegating routers. This puts a 
single /64 into
the delegating router's forwarding table instead of a bunch of /128's.

No - my point was that in fact isatap clients can support many hosts (up to
2**64 when prefix delegation is used) contrary to your assertion that only
a single host is supported.

Careful here: you're proposing to extend ISATAP to be used across multiple 
administrative boundaries -- which is *specifically* has not meant to be

I assume by "isatap routers" you mean a router supporting ISATAP.

This seems irrelevant (in practical terms) in itself.

Nothing of the sort. The isatap client is within the administrative 
domain of
the isatap router. The isatap router serves a /64 dhcpv6 prefix 
delegation to the
client. The client uses this prefix to connect as many additional hosts 
as it wishes
using, e.g., the multi-link subnet model and RA proxies. It's just like 
what happens
when the GGSN serves a /64 to a mobile via the IPv6 PDP context; it has 
nothing
at all to do with multiple administrative boundaries. Again, the main 
point is
that the isatap client can connect many hosts - not just one.

Could you describe the scenario in more detail?

It seems to me that the approach in above is that ISATAP link-local
addresses would be used between the router and the client.  The client is
in different admin domain as the router (tradeoffs of this might be
manageable), as is in a different admin domain as all the other clients
(which would also appear to be on the same link).

But perhaps I'm missing something here.

In the simplest cases, yes.

No. The client gets an RA from the router that contains a non-zero router
lifetime and adds it to the default router list. The client is in the 
same admin
domain as the router.

All the other clients would also be on the same link as the router. Each 
client
can request a dhcpv6 prefix delegation, with the dhcpv6 server implemented
on the router as allowed by the specs. Then, each client can connect 
multiple
additional hosts using the prefix delegation it received from the router.

No.  AFAICS, the router belongs to the 3GPP operator.  The client belongs 
to the 3GPP user (user device).  Right?  These are different entities.  
Whether RA is used makes no difference.

But also on the same link as other clients in the same 3GPP operator (or
maybe the particular GGSN), right?  In any case, it's *NOT* a 
point-to-point link between the router and one client, right?

That much is roughly clear.

OK, but there is no difference between this and the model in which the
GGSN is serving the mobile a native IPv6 PDP context (i.e., the GGSN
belongs to the 3GPP operator and the client belongs to the 3GPP user.)

No - it's a multiaccess link just like any other multiaccess link used

Careful: there could be a lot of difference; that is not the original 
ISATAP model.

Thanks for confirmation.  (It isn't 100% clear what you refer to with
"No", but I'm assuming the latter sentence.)

So, other clients are reachable on the same multiccess link, using
link-local addresses.  That seems pretty significant to me.

All in all, it seems ISATAP is applied in a scenario which it hasn't been
originally designed for, but consideration to the differences in scenarios
are overlooked.

We are discussing this application for the first time (as far as I can 
tell),  so I
believe the term "overlooked" is a bit premature.  I believe I have 
convinced
you that there are no functional barriers that keep an isatap client from
connecting multiple hosts. I'll grant you that issues in the trust model 
need
to be dealt with in more detail, however.
