Subject: Reclaiming 225/8

  225/8 was allocated for experimentation with the MASC protocol.
  In particular, it was to be used to statically assign the top
  level of the MASC infrastructure (statically) so we didn't have
  to deploy a BRIB capable routing system before experimenting
  with the MALLOC architecture. The assignment is (from 
  http://www.iana.org/assignments/multicast-addresses):

  225.0.0.0-225.255.255.255  MALLOC (temp - renew 1/01) [Handley]

  Since we are not using 225/8 for this purpose (or at all, for
  that matter), I want to reclaim it. Mark Handley suggested that
  I mention this to the list. If you have comments, please
  respond directly to me (copying the list). 

  Thanks,

  Dave

Good idea Dave. Yes, I'm in favor of reclaiming it.

Regarding what I saw at OSU (225.1.2.3):

corvallis-hub>sh ip mroute | inc 225.1.2.3
(*, 225.1.2.3), 4w1d/00:02:59, RP 207.98.64.240, flags: SP
[...]

(128.193.190.93, 225.1.2.3), 5d06h/00:03:11, flags: T
[...]

There are a ton of these (> 110) in use. Why? It would appear
that there is a software/OS replication package named Altiris
distributed by/with Compaq. The default OS installation on the
Compaqs includes Altiris (whatever it is) and it is configured to
use 225.1.2.3 as its default group. However, I can't tell this is
a Compaq setting or an Altiris default. 

This is yet another reason why we need a document like
draft-ietf-mboned-iana-ipv4-mcast-guidelines-03.txt.

right, again, perhaps something like <draft-ietf-mboned-mcast-apps-02.txt>.

perhaps this could be incorporated into something like Bob, Kevins:

These are some great questions, and I'm glad to see the discussion group turning its
attention to this topic. As a developer of server software that transmits multicast we
seriously considered this question and came to the following implementation.

1) We allow users to dynamically configure the address ranges used by each RealSystem
Server instance. In our documentation we attempt to educate the users to the standards and
issue involved in the selection of an address range.

2) We have also implemented optional support for SAP/SDR. In our implementation, the server
can be asked to send out SAP announcements, as well as listen for SAP announcements. When
our product is configured to listen for SAP announcements it will remove any addresses that
are announced as in use from it's range of selectable addresses. When it is configured to
announce, it obviously announces the addresses it is using.

For intranet uses, we recommend that network administrators configure their servers to
announce and listen for SAP, and provide each of there servers with the same reasonably
sized range of addresses. In this configurations, multiple RealSystem Servers will happily
coexist without stepping on each others address spaces. Assuming the user is using other
multicast applications on their network, they can either configure the RealSystem Server to
avoid address ranges they've applied to those other applications, or if that application
also uses SAP/SDR, then the RealSystem Server will automatically detect its announcements
and avoid those addresses that are in use.

Now, to be clear, this is what we've implemented to date. We recognize that SAP never
really reached standards track, but we implemented this support before alternate solutions
were available. We are aware that today MADCAP is a standards track solution for address
allocation, and we are reviewing the feasibility of implementing support for this, as well,
in our products. At this point, we don't hear demand for this from our customers. I am
curious if the group has insight into the general availability and use of MADCAP servers in
the field. (Which vendors have shipping MADCAP server implementations, etc.) I would
envision us taking the approach in the future of allowing the use of MADCAP as an option to
the user configured address range.

I would welcome any feedback that the group might have on the approach we've taken.

I can see where this can blow up once we start including vendor/apps

Good idea (as I said, it belongs somewhere, just not in the IANA

Hugh,

Wouldn't this be better handled by having all applications use MADCAP to obtain the group address? After all, this is what that protocol was designed to do.  (If I remember correctly.)

Of course there is a problem if the application is a legacy application that doesn't support MADCAP and doesn't bother to request an group address.  How would you enforce certain policies concerning group address usage?

I have several customers that are wrestling with these sorts of issues (admission control, rate-limiting, address-allocation, etc.) and it doesn't appear that there are any standard ways to deal with these problems.

Sounds good to me also.  In fact, I see that the section on 
address management actually does have this started:


   In almost all cases, application designers should assume that
   multicast addresses are to be dynamic.  Very little of the multicast
   address space is available for static assignment by IANA [MADDR].
   Also, given the host-specific addressing available with SSM, Internet-
   wide, static address assignment is expected to be very rare.
   
   
I think with a little more directness, e.g., drop a few qualifiers:

   Application designers should assume that multicast addresses are 
   to be dynamic.

But, from this point on, I'm not sure what should be written.  
Most of this document is written from the perspective of 
streaming media servers/clients or the similar videoconferencing,
but, the applications that are causing the most trouble with MSDP 
&etc. are things that don't fit that model - e.g. DriveImage.

How *should* a non-interactive non-A/V mostly-local application
get its address (presumably in 239.255.x.y) and (port)?
Although sdr does work on the 239.x.y.z spaces by using
the appropriate multicast address, e.g., for 239.255.x.y,
239.255.255.255 for the SAP announcements, it isn't obvious
to me that a batch/CLI type application that might be run
automatically at a particular time fits the sdr/SAP model.

I'm speculating that a query mechanism could be used, e.g., IGMPv3
general query, that would instantaneously return groups
to be avoided, and that the application could then randomly
select address and port, and then advertise via SAP
the selected group in 239.255/16.  Is that a bad idea (probably)?

We seem to need some kind of educational effort to get 
the word out to these companies regarding sensible use.  
Certainly, some uses are obviously not sensible, but, 
I don't see anything in

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-mboned-iana-ipv4-mcast-guidelines-03.txt

that specifically prescribes the correct thing to do 
to a consumer product developer.

I think static assignments in, e.g., 224.[0,1].x.y are almost always
a bad idea, but, I'm not sure how a product, intended for use by
folks who know little or nothing about multicast, should
[automatically] go about assigning such an address dynamically.  
Something in 239.255/16 is definitely local, but, how should the 
address/port be assigned?  Should sdr-like code be required in such 
products?  I don't know what the companies have in mind if multiple 
users on a LAN happen to be using the same product.  Have any 
people on these mailing lists had any discussions with the folks 
at these companies regarding what they are going with such products?

That's because it's not targetted at developers. Its built to

My sense is that's a different document. I'd like to keep this

Hi Hugh,

May be this needs to specifically include product developers and vendors :

15. Use of IANA Reserved Addresses

   Applications MUST NOT use addressing in the IANA reserved blocks.

All addresses that are not currently used or assigned by IANA are
considered reserved.

I think we also need for networks to update their scope/filter policies
to stop forwarding reserved groups. 

Thanks
Zaid

[moving mboned and iana to bcc list, follow up should be on the malloc list]

Beau is correct.  If the app wants a dynamic address, it should be using an
api/library provided by the platform for allocating dynamic
addresses.

The api (RFC 2771 provides the abstract version) should really be the same regardless of whether the app is asking for an SSM or ASM address, regardless of scope, etc (these can be parameters to the allocation request).  This insulates the app from the allocation protocol/mechanism.

If the semantics are appropriate (app wants ASM at Local Scope or
larger), then the library should use MADCAP to acquire the address.
And of course, SSM addresses should be allocated by the library/daemon such that they're guaranteed to be unique across multiple apps on the machine.  ASM groups of scope smaller than Local Scope (and a dynamic range for this type of groups is only presently reserved in IPv6) should be allocated by the library/daemon via ZMAAP.

We really don't want apps implementing MADCAP (or SAP, or ZMAAP, or SSM address allocation, or whatever else) themselves.  It's too easy for naïve app writers to mess up and/or collide with other apps on the same box.

If your platform of choice does not currently have such an api/library/daemon/whatever, go write one or beat on your platform vendor.

I propose that we use 225/8 for unicast-prefix-based IPv4 multicast addresses (since it would be basically a drop-in replacement for MASC).  I mentioned this idea (but not the specific range) at the last MADDOGS meeting where I gave the differences between IPv4 and IPv6 (I think you have the slides on your site Dave).  Since I got favorable feedback about this idea, Andy Adams and Bill Siadak volunteered to go write it up in a draft.  I had suggested to Andy and Bill that they use 225/8 in the draft when they write it up.

I don't disagree with the approach (unicast-prefix-based
...). However, the IANA assigned this prefix temporarily for a
different purpose, and since we don't in any way own this (or
really any) prefix, this is what should be done: 

(i).	Return 225/8 to the IANA immediately

(ii).	Request a prefix assignment from the IANA when your
	document is done.  

I will notify the IANA (copied).

The point of the allocation was to experiment with whatever address
allocation mechanism the IETF MALLOC group decides on.  We definitely
seem to be lacking consensus on deploying MASC, so the question is can
the MALLOC working group achieve consensus as to an alternative?

If we have consensus on a replacement for MASC, then it makes sense to
me to use 225/8 to experiment with that replacement.  If we don't
agree on a replacement, then we should return 225/8 until such time as
there's some general agreement.

Can we decide this on the list, or do we need to discuss it in London?

Cheers,
	Mark

As I remember it (and I was asked to intervene with the IANA,
which I gladly did), the assignment  was to experiment with
MASC. More precisely, since we couldn't expect the top level of
the MASC hierarchy to be deployed (or the BRIB for that matter),
we were going to make static assignments and have something like
a host file that we shipped around.

The issue is whether 225/8 is ours to do with what we want. My
assertion is that is not. The assignment was temporary, and for
the purpose I described above. If we want more addressing, we can
ask IANA for that, but just to use it for whatever we want
implies some sense of ownership, and that is what I'm objecting
to (another case: I didn't agree with the way 232/8 was handled,
for similar reasons). Add to that the a /8 is a huge chunk of
address space.  

>> Can we decide this on the list, or do we need to discuss it in London?

The list certainly has a larger constituency than what we will
find in London. However, what do we need to decide? You need
addressing for this new experiment. That's fine, write a
document, then ask the IANA.

Again, I am not objecting to the experiment, or to the fact that
you need addressing to do it. What I am not comfortable with is
treating 225/8 like we own it and it is ours to do with what we
please. That is not the case.

why not go the straight path.  the allocation was for masc.  if masc is not
flying, return it.  when someone needs space for another experiment, then
do the normal thing, and file a request for it.

hoarding it seems quite rude.

I've included the text of my original request message from Dec 1998
below - the request was actually not MASC-specific, but to experiment
with whatever the MALLOC group decided was the right approach.

Agreed - that's why we need to provide guidance to IANA as to what to
do with the space.  I'm not arguing we should blindly request for
renewal - I'm just arguing against a rush to a decision after all this
time.

Subject: Multicast Address Apace for Dynamic Allocation
--------


Jon,

As I'm sure you're aware, the MALLOC WG has been developing protocols
to allow scalable dynamic allocation of the IPv4 multicast address
space.  We're now starting to approach the point where we will start
experiments with this address allocation architecture, and to this
end, we're going to need an address space to allocate.

The MALLOC architecture is hierarchical, and designed with the
eventual goal of allocating the entire multicast address space (with
the exception of a relatively small set of well-known and
admin-scope-relative groups).  Clearly though, the jury is still out
on whether this goal will be realised.  Thus we should probably start
with a moderate sized space to be dynamically allocated, and expand
this space later when we can show that the allocation architecture is
working effectively.

Currently 224.2.0.0 to 224.2.255.255 is allocated to multimedia
conferencing, and the upper half of this range is allocated
dynamically using SAP.  The MALLOC allocation architecture is not
restricted to multimedia conferencing - it is intended for general
purpose multicast address allocation.  SAP will eventually be replaced
by the MALLOC architecture for address allocation, but for a while
both mechanisms will have to be able to co-exist.  Using a different
space makes this somewhat simpler.

Thus we'd like to request a new and larger space for dynamic
allocation using the MALLOC architecture, preferably 225.0.0.0 to
225.255.255.255.  This would be large enough to perform realistic
experiments and to accomodate current and near-future multicast usage.

The idea would be that in the long term the range can be expanded to
include the rest of the address space up to the base of the
administratively scoped range.  To this end, we'd also like to suggest
that the ranges 226.0.0.0 to 231.255.255.255 and 233.0.0.0 to
238.255.255.255 be marked as "reserved" to discourage people believing
that they can request a large statically allocated range of addresses.
We would also envisage that the current VMTP range (232.0.0.0 to
232.255.255.255) will probably be returned to "reserved" status in due
course, and would eventually be dynamically allocated too.

Please let us know if you need clarification on any of these details.

Thank you,

seems to me that it would be more productive to work on dynamic address
protocols, than how to rationalize keeping space from the last experiment.
if y'all had a good experiment, then getting address space for it would be
easy.

Ok, here's how you could help me in the short term. The
assignment is marked temporary. If you could outline for me the
criteria the IANA can use to decide whether to renew it annually
that would be very helpful (after all, if its temporary then the
IANA will need to know how to evaluate how and when the
assignment expires, otherwise it is permanent). 

Thanks,

Dave

I agree.  I think that the canonical approach is indicated here --
close out the previous experiment, request a new allocation
for the current work.  I doubt that the request would be denied,
but, IANA might choose to allocate a different block just to keep
things neat and tidy - 231/8, say.

I did look around a little bit over the weekend.  I found a little bit
of alpha-release stuff.  Maybe I missed the more fully developed stuff.
Is there a website or repository with code or pointers to code for
the RFC 2771 API conformant libraries and server daemons?  Have any
of the common (ie Mbone) tools (e.g. vic, vat, rat) been ported 
to use these libraries/facilities?  How about COTS software?  Sorry
if these are uninformed questions; I'm very out of date on what has
been happening and would like to get up to speed.

My main concern is, what applications today are *not* legacy applications?

        Anyone have any other comments on this? I do not believe
        that there will be a wider constituency (than the list)
        in London, so I see no benefit in waiting until we
        congregate there to make a decision. If it is decided
        that the assignment should be kept, someone please
        provide me with an overview of how the IANA can decide to
        reclaim 225/8 (otherwise, as I said, otherwise it's a
        permanent allocation; BTW, a explanation as to why it
        should be kept is also needed as the assignment has timed
        out). 

        Just so that there is no confusion, I against keeping
        the 225/8 assignment, for all the reasons that have been
        discussed on this list. In addition, as Randy so
        eloquently put it, the IANA has not and will not be a
        problem if we have a cogent proposal. 

        SUMMARY: I am proposing to the MALLOC WG that the 225/8
                 be returned to the IANA, and that a new assignment
                 be requested though standard IANA channels for
                 whatever experiment is next.

I was arguing against a rush to return this without proper discussion,
but I think the issue has now been properly aired and people given
enough opportunity to comment.

I don't see anyone arguing strenuously for keeping the allocation
while experiments are performed, so I agree with the above proposal.

Cheers,
	Mark

I'm not aware of a web site that has such information, but I'd be
willing to add it on the malloc web site if people want, and people send
me information.

Speaking on behalf of one specific platform vendor, Windows 2000 and XP
have RFC 2771 API conformant libraries and server daemons.
I'll let others respond for other platforms.

I can't speak on behalf of the tools that you mention (although it would
make more sense for sdr to use them, not vic/vat/etc which don't
allocate addresses), but Windows 2000 and XP do have tools that use
these libraries/facilities.

This seems to me to be the proper thing to do.

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

	Title		: Multicast Address Allocation MIB
	Author(s)	: D. Thaler
	Filename	: draft-ietf-malloc-malloc-mib-04.txt
	Pages		: 39
	Date		: 20-Jul-01
	
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for
use with network management protocols in the Internet community.  In
particular, it describes managed objects used for managing multicast
address allocation.

A URL for this Internet-Draft is:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-malloc-malloc-mib-04.txt

Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username
"anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in,
type "cd internet-drafts" and then
	"get draft-ietf-malloc-malloc-mib-04.txt".

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


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

Send a message to:
	mailserv@ietf.org.
In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-malloc-malloc-mib-04.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.

During the period of time between July 26th and Aug 3th there will
be lab renovation in the USC Network lab (where catarina.usc.edu,
the mail server for this mailing list is hosted). During the
renovation, the mail service for this mailing list (and all other
lists hosted on this server) may be disrupted (hopefully for no more
than few hours, but if something goes wrong it may be for longer).

If there is need for this mailing list to be fully operational
during the renovation (e.g, temporary hosting it on a mail server
outside that lab), I am looking forward for
suggestions/solutions/mail-serverspace hospitality.

Thanks,
Pavlin Radoslavov
(malloc@catarina.usc.edu ML admin)

P.S. In case you need to contact me regarding the ML operation
during the renovation period, please send me email to pavlin@usc.edu

Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

An updated version of the Multicast Address Allocation MIB is now in the =
I-D repository at
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-malloc-malloc-mib-04.txt

This email begins a WG last call, to expire in three weeks (due to IETF) =
on Tuesday, August 7th.

List of changes in -04:
1) Remove AAP objects per previous discussion.
2) Add text mentioning that the MIB applies to SSM addresses too.
3) Added mallocScopeSSM object to the mallocScopeTable to identify SSM =
scopes.
4) Added "local" to the list of values of IANAscopeSource and =
IANAmallocRangeSource, to cover scopes that are "well-known" and added =
automatically, e.g. the SSM range, IPv6 multicast scopes, etc.

The IESG has received a request from the IPNG and the MALLOC Working
Groups to consider publication of the folloing two Interent-Drafts as
Proposed Standards.

  o Unicast-Prefix-based IPv6 Multicast Addresses 
	<draft-ietf-ipngwg-uni-based-mcast-02.txt>


  o Dynamic Allocation Guidelines for IPv6 Multicast Addresses
	<draft-ietf-malloc-ipv6-guide-03.txt> as a Proposed Standard.

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and
solicits final comments on this action.  Please send any comments to
the iesg@ietf.org or ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by August 25, 2001.

It was brought to my attention that the MALLOC ML should be up and
operational without interruptions because of the Last Call for
Proposed Standards of the following two I-Ds (see the last email on
this ML that was sent today):

  o Unicast-Prefix-based IPv6 Multicast Addresses
        <draft-ietf-ipngwg-uni-based-mcast-02.txt>


  o Dynamic Allocation Guidelines for IPv6 Multicast Addresses
        <draft-ietf-malloc-ipv6-guide-03.txt>
Because of the lab renovation in USC, the MALLOC WG mailing list
currently is moved
FROM
        malloc@catarina.usc.edu
TO
        malloc@ietf.org
The move was originally suppose to be temporary for a week or so,
but it could be permanent (this should be finalized after IETF).

From now on please send your email to malloc@ietf.org (until further
notice). In the mean time the old address should still be
operational.

Thanks,
Pavlin

P.S. In case you need to handle your subscription for the next few
days, below is the info you may need. If something doesn't work,
then drop me an email at pavlin@catarina.usc.ed, cc: pavlin@usc.edu
and I will try to fix it.
