I must explain to the diffserv list that there was a bug
in the recent WG last call on this: I mistyped "Draft Standard"
instead of "Proposed Standard". This was my error, which nobody 
noticed during the WG last call. Sorry about the confusion.

hi all,
Can any one suggest me pointers to works on "per-flow"
QoS provisioning in a diffserv network? Much work is
done on per-aggregate QoS in diffserv network, but i
need information on per-flow qos in difserv.

I have one paper titled "Attaining per-flow QoS with
class-based differentiated services" by M.Tufail,
G.Jennes, G.Leduc,  SPIE symposium on Voice, video and
data communications, Conf: Broadband network, Sept
1999, MA, USA.

Does any one have pointers to other works in this
field?

thanks in advance.
ck.

Diffserv is not a per-flow model, so any such work is
in any case rather strange. Please take questions of this

(Assuming the core is diffserv)
I am not sure how you define "strange". I think this depends on how one
defines "service". There is a whole spectrum from very soft to very hard.

Hello,
   Sorry for bothering you but I have a question regarding the DiffServ
MIB implementation  and I was not able to find the answer in the
diffServ MIB draft. I'm facing the following problem:

  1. We started a QoS enabled router and created a DiffServ MIB for it.
  2. At some point of time QoS configuration of the router was changed:
e.g. certain classification rules were changed (added and deleted).
  3. The problem is: How should the MIB reflect these configuration
changes?

 Currently I'm considering two possible approaches:

        1. Remove  all deleted Classifier Element entries from the
diffServClfrElementTable (or whatever table that was changed) and add at
the end newly added entries starting from the position
diffServClfrElementNextFree. In this case a entries in the
diffServClfrElementTable will not be contiguous, the space may be wasted
and as the result we may run out of  diffServClfrElementNextFree values
after some time.

       2. After the configuration changes we re-initialize the DiffServ
MIB by re-scanning the current router configuration and re-setting all
the tables. In this case all the Tables will have thier elements ordered
in the contiguos fashion (except for the Data Path Table, which is
indexed by the interface index and direction). However, MIB
re-initializion may mess-up the managers, and cause configuration errors
(e.g. manager may try to set the DiffServ MIB table entries that were
deleted or even worse: entries that were replaced.). On the other hand
individual MIB table entries can not be considered alone without examining
the whole data path starting from the Data Path Table that contains
information about the interface index and direction.
(e.g. SixTupleClassifierEntry.14.2.3 -- means Row Status of the entry that
corresponds to the classifier element #3 that belongs to classfier #2)

 So the question are:
     What the MIB behavior should be in this case?
     Is there an IETF standard for treating cases like this?

  Thank you for your help,
       Sincerely,

 Vasil Hnatyshin.

As part of ICC 2002, a symposium on the Next Generation Internet
will be held. Participation in this symposium is open to all 
registrants of ICC 2002 (i.e. a separate registration is not 
required).

Papers submitted for consideration to the symposium should focus on 
topics related to the Next Generation Internet (i.e. addressing 
issues and areas that will not be deployed in the public Internet 
for at least 3-5 years). Examples of topics of interest include:
  * NGI Performance                    * NGI Architecture
  * QoS - Fact or Fiction              * Streaming Media
  * Home Networking-based Internet     * Voice over IP
    Services                           * Internet Service

Vasil,

I think you are misunderstanding the use of the "NextFree" objects. The
manager and agent have a mutual knowledge of which classifier element entry
has which index. You cannot "re-initialize" the MIB and change those index
values. So your option 2 is not viable.

For option 1, why do you need the the entries to have contiguous indices?
Values are not "wasted" (at least in a reasonable implementation) - it is
the agent who chooses what the next free index is to be and it can loop
around when it gets to 2^^32. You will only run out of values when there are
(2^^32-1) classifier elements present - an unlikely scenario (I hope) - you
are more likely first to run up against the capacity of the device to
classify.

If this is not clear from the current draft then let us know (the definition
of the usage has to be clear and complete, although it does not need to be
obvious).

Andrew

Subject: [Diffserv] DiffServ MIB how to maintain data?


Hello,
   Sorry for bothering you but I have a question regarding the DiffServ
MIB implementation  and I was not able to find the answer in the
diffServ MIB draft. I'm facing the following problem:

  1. We started a QoS enabled router and created a DiffServ MIB for it.
  2. At some point of time QoS configuration of the router was changed:
e.g. certain classification rules were changed (added and deleted).
  3. The problem is: How should the MIB reflect these configuration
changes?

 Currently I'm considering two possible approaches:

        1. Remove  all deleted Classifier Element entries from the
diffServClfrElementTable (or whatever table that was changed) and add at
the end newly added entries starting from the position
diffServClfrElementNextFree. In this case a entries in the
diffServClfrElementTable will not be contiguous, the space may be wasted
and as the result we may run out of  diffServClfrElementNextFree values
after some time.

       2. After the configuration changes we re-initialize the DiffServ
MIB by re-scanning the current router configuration and re-setting all
the tables. In this case all the Tables will have thier elements ordered
in the contiguos fashion (except for the Data Path Table, which is
indexed by the interface index and direction). However, MIB
re-initializion may mess-up the managers, and cause configuration errors
(e.g. manager may try to set the DiffServ MIB table entries that were
deleted or even worse: entries that were replaced.). On the other hand
individual MIB table entries can not be considered alone without examining
the whole data path starting from the Data Path Table that contains
information about the interface index and direction.
(e.g. SixTupleClassifierEntry.14.2.3 -- means Row Status of the entry that
corresponds to the classifier element #3 that belongs to classfier #2)

 So the question are:
     What the MIB behavior should be in this case?
     Is there an IETF standard for treating cases like this?

  Thank you for your help,
       Sincerely,

 Vasil Hnatyshin.

Such statements include verbal statements in IETF meetings, as well as
written and electronic communications made at any time or place, which
are addressed to:

    - the IETF plenary session,
    - any IETF working group or portion thereof,
    - the IESG, or any member thereof on behalf of the IESG,
    - the IAB or any member thereof on behalf of the IAB,

Diffservers,

The attached draft is relevant to diffserv, although it is aimed primarily
at the IPNG WG. It proposes a use of the IPv6 Flow Label for diffserv.

At the time when the IPv6 specifications were written, the IPv6 flow
label was still experimental, and subject to change, as the
requirements for flow support in the Internet were evolving.

Hi,

when looking back to 46th IETF meeting minutes, there are still
some open multicast issues. This short proposal might be of interest
for some people here. It would be nice to get any feedback from people
here, especially manufacturers of routers.

Regards,
 Roland

P.S.: Sorry, I currently don't know any other WG that is more appropriate
for discussion of this issue.

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


	Title		: A Router Extension to Support Multicast in 
                          Differentiated Services Networks
	Author(s)	: R. Bless, K. Wehrle
	Filename	: draft-bless-diffserv-mcast-routerext-00.txt
	Pages		: 4
	Date		: 16-Jul-01
	
This draft proposes an extension to the multicast routing table in
routers in order to achieve better support for using multicast
within Differentiated Services (DS) networks. Only one additional DS
codepoint for each virtual interface in the multicast routing table
is required to open up a variety of different uses, e.g., to solve
resource provisioning problems or to support heterogeneous DiffServ
multicast groups.

In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-bless-diffserv-mcast-routerext-00.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.

Roland,

Have you discussed with the Routing ADs how to follow up on this? 
That is certainly something to do in London.

We are scheduled to meet, if the MIB and PIB drafts get submitted
before the cutoff (er, about 3 hours from now). In the latest variant 
of the agenda, we are on THURSDAY, August 9, 2001 from 0900-1130. The 
detailed agenda is due by July 31 at the latest.

A few observations...

Let's presume that ClfrNextFree counts and ClfrElementNextFree counts. Now 
I go to create three classifiers, each of which gets one element put into 
it, and then one of which gets two more. Consider the behavior:

Assume that clfrNextFree and clfrElementNextFree each initially have the 
value 1.

1) read clfrnextfree (1) and clfrelementnextfree (1)
2) create clfrEntry[1] by writing createAndGo to ClfrStatus[1]
3) create clfrSixTypleEntry[1][1] by writing <something> and
          createAndGo to ClfrSixTupleStatus[1][1]
4) create clfrElementEntry[1][1] by writing
          ^ClfrSixTupleEntry[1][1] to ClfrElementSpecific[1][1]
          and createAndGo to ClfrElementStatus[1][1]

This took four round trips.

New we create the second and third entries:

5) read clfrnextfree (2) and clfrelementnextfree (2)
6) create clfrEntry[1] by writing createAndGo to ClfrStatus[2]
7) create clfrSixTypleEntry[2][2] by writing <something> and
          createAndGo to ClfrSixTupleStatus[2][2]
8) create clfrElementEntry[2][2] by writing
          ^ClfrSixTupleEntry[2][2] to ClfrElementSpecific[2][2]
          and createAndGo to ClfrElementStatus[2][2]
9) read clfrnextfree (3) and clfrelementnextfree (3)
10) create clfrEntry[3] by writing createAndGo to ClfrStatus[3]
11) create clfrSixTypleEntry[1][1] by writing <something> and
          createAndGo to ClfrSixTupleStatus[3][3]
12) create clfrElementEntry[3][3] by writing
          ^ClfrSixTupleEntry[3][3] to ClfrElementSpecific[3][3]
          and createAndGo to ClfrElementStatus[3][3]

We now have:
         ClfrEntry[1], ClfrSixTupleEntry[1][1], ClfrElementEntry[1][1]
         ClfrEntry[2], ClfrSixTupleEntry[2][2], ClfrElementEntry[2][2]
         ClfrEntry[3], ClfrSixTupleEntry[3][3], ClfrElementEntry[3][3]
Each Classifier took four round trips to build

New we create the second and third elements of the first classifier:

5) read clfrelementnextfree (4)
6) create clfrSixTypleEntry[1][4] by writing <something> and
          createAndGo to ClfrSixTupleStatus[1][4]
7) create clfrElementEntry[1][4] by writing
           ^ClfrElementENtry[1][4] to ClfrElementNext[1][1]
          ^ClfrSixTupleEntry[1][4] to ClfrElementSpecific[1][4]
          and createAndGo to ClfrElementStatus[1][4]
8) link to ClfrEntry[1] by writing
           ^ClfrElementENtry[1][4] to ClfrElementNext[1][1]
9) read clfrelementnextfree (5)
10) create clfrSixTypleEntry[1][5] by writing <something> and
          createAndGo to ClfrSixTupleStatus[1][5]
11) create clfrElementEntry[1][5] by writing
          ^ClfrSixTupleEntry[1][5] to ClfrElementSpecific[1][5]
          and createAndGo to ClfrElementStatus[1][5]
12) link to ClfrEntry[1] by writing
           ^ClfrElementENtry[1][5] to ClfrElementNext[1][4]

We now have:
         ClfrEntry[1], ClfrSixTupleEntry[1][1], ClfrElementEntry[1][1]
                       ClfrSixTupleEntry[1][4], ClfrElementEntry[1][4]
                       ClfrSixTupleEntry[1][5], ClfrElementEntry[1][5]
         ClfrEntry[2], ClfrSixTupleEntry[2][2], ClfrElementEntry[2][2]
         ClfrEntry[3], ClfrSixTupleEntry[3][3], ClfrElementEntry[3][3]
Each new Classifier element took four round trips to build

Notice, first, that the second index of the classifier element was 
completely sufficient to make these unambiguous. Notice that apart from the 
DataPath Table (which I neglected to mention) we have no record of the 
start of any classifier.

Now, let two NMS's simultaneously try to create a new classifier, and have 
to collide and recover. Call them A and B.

1) A and B each read clfrnextfree (4) and clfrelementnextfree (6)
2) A and B create clfrEntry[4] by writing createAndGo to ClfrStatus[4]
           A gets an acknowledgement
           B gets a failure
3a) A creates clfrSixTypleEntry[4][6] by writing <something> and
          createAndGo to ClfrSixTupleStatus[4][6]
4a) A creates clfrElementEntry[4][6] by writing
          ^ClfrSixTupleEntry[4][6] to ClfrElementSpecific[4][6]
          and createAndGo to ClfrElementStatus[4][6]

meanwhile,

3b) B reads clfrnextfree (5) and clfrelementnextfree (6)
4b) B creates clfrEntry[5] by writing createAndGo to ClfrStatus[5]
5b) B creates clfrSixTypleEntry[5][6] by writing <something> and
          createAndGo to ClfrSixTupleStatus[5][6]
7b) B creates clfrSixTypleEntry[5][6] by writing <something> and
          createAndGo to ClfrSixTupleStatus[5][6]
8b) A creates clfrElementEntry[5][6] by writing
          ^ClfrSixTupleEntry[5][6] to ClfrElementSpecific[5][6]
          and createAndGo to ClfrElementStatus[5][6]

In this case, the classifier Id disambiguates two instances of 
classifierElementId=6.

Now, let's redo that sequence assuming that the classifier table doesn't 
exist, and only the classifier element table exists. Again, two NMS's (A 
and B) simultaneously try to create a new classifier, and have to collide 
and recover.

1) A and B each read clfrnextfree (4) and clfrelementnextfree (6)
2) A and B each attempt to create clfrSixTupleEntry[4][6] by
           writing <something>, and createAndGo to ClfrSixTupleStatus[4][6]
         A gets an acknowledge
         B gets a failure
3a) A creates clfrElementEntry[4][6] by writing
          ^ClfrSixTupleEntry[4][6] to ClfrElementSpecific[4][6]
          and createAndGo to ClfrElementStatus[4][6]
3b) B reads clfrnextfree (5) and clfrelementnextfree (7)
4b) B creates clfrSixTypleEntry[5][7] by writing <something>,
         and createAndGo to ClfrSixTupleStatus[5][7]
5b) B creates clfrElementEntry[5][7] by writing
          ^ClfrSixTupleEntry[5][7] to ClfrElementSpecific[5][7]
          and createAndGo to ClfrElementStatus[5][7]

There are several differences between the two cases:

a) with the classifier table, it is possible to have an error condition in 
which a classifier exists but contains no elements; if the classifier table 
does not exist, this is not possible
b) with the classifier table, the recovering system took eight round trips 
to create a classifier; without it, the recovering system took only five.
c) with the classifier table, any classifier creation takes four round 
trips, but without it such a thing only takes three.
d) with the classifier table, in the special case that two NMS's try to 
configure the device simultaneously, the classifier Id disambiguates the 
classifier element Id. However, without the classifier table, the ambiguity 
doesn't exist and so does not need to be disambiguated.

I now go on to mention the other things that bother me.

In draft 9, the only readable attribute in the classifier table is the 
RowStatus variable; the classifier entry can be used to create or delate a 
classifier, and if you read the RowStatus variables I suppose that you can 
determine what classifiers exist. Each of these things can be done using 
the classifier element table. Therefore, the complexity I have described 
the classifier table as creating comes with no redeeming value in terms of 
something that cannot be done by another part of the MIB.

I noted earlier that clfrElementId is sufficient to disambiguate 
classifiers; the classifier number itself contributed nothing to making the 
structure unambiguous. If we keep the classifier ID at all, that argues 
that it should be an attribute of the classifier element ("I am a member of 
this classifier") rather than an integer extending the name (an index of) 
of the classifier element. I'm easily argued into keeping it as an 
attribute; I'm far less sure of it as a reasonable index.

If instead of creating
         ClfrEntry[1], ClfrSixTupleEntry[1][1], ClfrElementEntry[1][1]
                       ClfrSixTupleEntry[1][4], ClfrElementEntry[1][4]
                       ClfrSixTupleEntry[1][5], ClfrElementEntry[1][5]
         ClfrEntry[2], ClfrSixTupleEntry[2][2], ClfrElementEntry[2][2]
         ClfrEntry[3], ClfrSixTupleEntry[3][3], ClfrElementEntry[3][3]

we wanted to create
         ClfrEntry[1], ClfrSixTupleEntry[1][1], ClfrElementEntry[1][1]
                       ClfrSixTupleEntry[1][2], ClfrElementEntry[1][2]
                       ClfrSixTupleEntry[1][3], ClfrElementEntry[1][3]
         ClfrEntry[2], ClfrSixTupleEntry[2][1], ClfrElementEntry[2][1]
         ClfrEntry[3], ClfrSixTupleEntry[3][1], ClfrElementEntry[3][1]

then we need to have a clfrElementNextFree instance per classifier; this 
would require that clfrElementNextFree become an attribute of the 
classifier (an object in the clfrEntry). It would also mean that we cannot 
read clfrNextFree and clfrElementNextFree in the same read; we would either 
read clfrNextFree and then read clfrElementNextFree[clfrNextFree] (an extra 
round trip) or read clfrNextFree and assume that 
clfrElementNextFree[clfrNextFree] could be assumed to be one.

Leaving that by the side, I observed that we have the DataPathStartTable to 
tell us where a given data path starts, but we don't have a corresponding 
attribute that tells us what the first element in any given classifier is. 
This can be deduced, so it is not a showstopper, but deducing it requires 
some effort. One could argue that there should exist a ClfrDataPathStart 
object to indicate this head-of-list.

What I have done is left the classifier table in, which I think adds a huge 
amount of gratuitous complexity. My conscience will not let me visit this 
on the world without any redeeming social value, so I have added a 
clfrDataPathStart attribute. Whether that actually justifies the gratuitous 
complexity or not is a judgement call that I'm not prepared to make.

On the MIB I am posting today, Kwok has made a number of comments that I 
have not had the cycles to correct. These are comments on an interim 
document that I circulated among the authors, and some of them don't quite 
apply to the current draft. However, rather than making Kwok sort through 
them and reword for the posted draft, I simply post the comments.

You will see in a separate note that I have been scratching my head about 
the classifier table; several folks have complained about complexity in 
using the MIB as designed, and I think this particular table is a major 
contributor there. There are some comments in this list that apply if and 
only if we decide to remove the classifier table from the MIB, as I did in 
the interim draft.

Yes, I followed Kathie's advice to contact them in order to
get a hint for an appropriate WG for discussion of this issue.
So we already contacted the Routing ADs by e-mail, but Rob wanted 
to know something about the operational requirements for this work 
(this was before we wrote the draft). Therefore, we'd like to get 
feedback from the community. However, we are looking forward to 
discuss about it in London.

 Roland

P.S.: Will the diffserv WG meet in London? I didn't see any
agenda yet.

Hi,

It seems to me that both Diffserv PIB and MIB specify an absolute drop
action meaning "silently discards". See for example section 4.5.2 of
Diffserv PIB.

Some devices support two types of drops: 
1) silent drop without notifying sender 
2) drop and notify sender 

It would be helpful to distinguish these two cases in Diffserv PIB and
MIB as well. It can be done by simply adding a new codepoint.

Hi,

The Internet doesn't tell you when it drops a packet. I don't think
diffserv is going to change this.

silly question: how is the sender notified? If it is with an ICMP message, 
what ICMP message, specified by what RFC? How does this play when a DDOS 
attack is causing the drops? Does it spread the DDOS attack to each of the 
drone sites as well as the attacked site?

I'll happily support an IETF standard if you can point me to it, but not a 
proprietary behavior whose use is inadvisable in the Internet.

Referring to the discussions on token buckets in Diffserv Informal
Management Model, Feb. 2001.  There is description of a packet of length L
arriving at time t' (Appendix A.4).  Is there any assumption about when t'
should be taken?  That is, is t' the time of arrival of the first byte of
the packet or the last byte of the packet?  Does this selection of time
matter for the operation of token bucket?  Is one selection preferable?

Yes, the entry should basically identify the pair of tunnel endpoints.
Personally, I don't think it's a good idea to assume always UDP as 
protocol. We don't know what mcast-capable transport protocols will be 
used instead of UDP one day in future.

I disagree here, because it really depends on how many tunnel endpoints
or branches you have. "Only" means the overhead compared to one
complete entry/row in the multicast routing table that describes a
virtual interface. So one additional byte for the DSCP in comparison to
your above list of source/dest IP addresses and ports (which are already
12 bytes for IPv4) is not that much... So if you have a large number of
additional codepoints you'll also have a large number of virtual 
interfaces anyway, and that's why the overhead is still small in relation
to the whole multicast routing table.

 Roland

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

	Title		: An Assured Rate Per-Domain Behaviour for 
                          Differentiated Services
	Author(s)	: N. Seddigh et al.
	Filename	: draft-ietf-diffserv-pdb-ar-01.txt
	Pages		: 8
	Date		: 23-Jul-01
	
This document describes a diffserv per-domain behaviour (PDB)  called
Assured  Rate  (AR).  The  AR  PDB  is  suitable for carrying traffic
aggregates that require rate assurance but do not require  delay  and
jitter  bounds.  The traffic aggregate will also have the opportunity
to obtain excess bandwidth beyond the assured rate. The  PDB  can  be
created using the diffserv AF PHB along with suitable policers at the
domain ingress nodes.

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

Jayaram,

My understanding is that Appendix A.4 assumes that "t'" is the time that the last byte of the packet is received. This is called a strict token bucket. 

The draft also talks about a loose token bucket in which, you accept the packet without knowing its length, and after you receive the whole packet and you know the exact size of the packet, then you adjust the number of tokens, possibly to a negative value to account for packets that required more tokens that existed at the time of their arrival.

The Strict and Loose TB are the extreme ends of the possible TB implementation. Any other implementation is probably something in between. Therefore it is perfectly acceptable to assume "t'" being the time of arrival of the first byte of the packet if you know the length of the packet in advance (which may not be practical with variable length IP packets), or if you guess the size of the packet, etc.

So my answer is that the implementation is not a matter of standard, rather a matter of engineering compromise, practicality and taste.

Yours,
-Shahram

Fred, 

I have a quick question that I have been thinking about: 

I was looking through the statistics that you collect in the MIB for
random droppers (diffServAlgDropPkts, diffServAlgDropHCPkts and the two
for Octets)   and, if I understood it correctly, you do not
differentiate between 'random drops', drops caused by exceeding max_th
(diffServRandomDropMaxThreshBytes), and drops caused by exceeding the
queue depth. 

As I understand RED algorithms, there is a hugh difference between these
types of drops; exceeding max_th should rarely occur. If it does, then I
should take some action (either increase max_p or move min_th or
max_th). Drops due to exceeding the queue depth should never occur. On
the other hand true random drops are ok. 

Wouldn't it be sensible to separate these three types of drops in the
MIB and have a counter for each? I mean, for me as an operator they give
different types of information and should be treated separately.

Anders

Correct. The model is *informal* and doesn't attempt to standardise this
with mathematical precision, since different vendors might prefer different
solutions.

The equations should hold for either case, as long as you are consistent.

Diffservers,

I haven't seen either the -10 version of the MIB, or the -04 version
of the PIB, announced yet but I believe they are both in the pipeline
and they will be the most important agenda items in London. 

Fred supplied a URL for the MIB:

ftp://ftpeng.cisco.com/fred/diffserv-mib/draft-ietf-diffserv-mib-10.txt

The PIB will be draft-ietf-diffserv-pib-04.txt when it comes.

Other drafts we expect to discuss:

draft-mcdysan-diffserv-consistent-meter-00.txt
draft-ietf-diffserv-model-06.txt (no update- brief)
draft-ietf-diffserv-new-terms-04.txt (no update- brief)
draft-conta-ipv6-flow-label-02.txt (brief- main discussion will be in IPNGWG)
draft-ietf-diffserv-pdb-ar-01.txt (brief)

   Brian

Roland,

This I-D makes the case for allowing individual DS codepoints for each DS
tunnel or physical interface used by a multicast router to distribute IP
multicast packets.

You say in your I-D:

   A virtual interface means in this context,
   that it is either a multicast tunnel or a real physical network
   interface. So there may be several configured tunnels over one
   physical interface present. The multicast routing table entry
   contains usually information about the multicast group address
   (destination address), source address and (virtual) outgoing
   interfaces where packets should be copied to during packet
   forwarding.

I believe that a "virtual interface" in the context of this I-D might
potentially be defined as any combination of source and destination IP
address, source and destination UDP port ID, incoming DS codepoint, _and_
outgoing physical interface? (The Protocol field will always indicate UDP.)

If you agree with this, perhaps the word "only" in the abstract:

   Only one additional DS
   codepoint for each virtual interface in the multicast routing table
   is required to open up a variety of different uses, ...

should be deleted. This could be a large number of additional codepoints, in
principle.

Bert

I use smicng, which I have been using as a test for some years; the 
observation has been made in many circles that something it will pass can 
be compiled on any compiler. Perhaps you can get Dave Perkins to update it 
to your specifications.

Funny, doesn't match the specifications I find in the RFC I saw that in 
draft 9, when smicng told me it was in error. I checked the RFC archives to 
verify, and chandged it when I found that the format of the date is 
specified in ASN.1 and matches what I have done in this draft. Can you 
instruct me on the point? My research didn't support you.

>- Where the old ASN.1-fashioned type INTEGER is used for signed 32-bit

Fine, if the range of the integer is -2^32..+2^32. When it's not, one needs 
to select a TC supporting the correct enumeration. Go check the uses here, 
and you will find that the enumeration is correctly specified, rather than 
specifying that range.

Maybe you need to check the logic of blanket assertions like "all useful 
integers have valid negative values."

Hi!

Fred> You may find a new MIB draft at
Fred> ftp://ftpeng.cisco.com/fred/diffserv-mib/draft-ietf-diffserv-mib-10.txt

Purely from the SMIv2 syntax perspective I'd like to let you know about
some things that should be fixed. Maybe, you would like to use smilint
(http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/projects/libsmi/) yourself. ;-)

- Dates in in LAST-UPDATED and REVISION clauses must have a 4-digit year.

- Where the old ASN.1-fashioned type INTEGER is used for signed 32-bit
  integers, you should use Integer32 in SMIv2 modules instead.

Fred> update it to your specifications.

I'm quite sure, Dave Perkins is aware of the problem that the SMICng
that many people use is older than RFC 2578-80 which introduced a
number of clarifications. One of these clarifications is more of a
change: the date length has to be 13 for any date after 1999.

>> - Dates in in LAST-UPDATED and REVISION clauses must have a 4-digit year.

Fred> Funny, doesn't match the specifications I find in the RFC I saw that
Fred> in draft 9, when smicng told me it was in error. I checked the RFC
Fred> archives to verify, and chandged it when I found that the format of
Fred> the date is specified in ASN.1 and matches what I have done in this
Fred> draft. Can you instruct me on the point? My research didn't support
Fred> you.

According to RFC 2578 (SMIv2) the Date in LAST-UPDATED and REVISION clauses
is defined by ExtUTCTime on pages 4-5:

  ExtUTCTime ::= OCTET STRING(SIZE(11 | 13))
      -- [...]
      -- 8:15pm GMT on 19 February 1995. Years after 1999 must use
      -- the four digit year format. Years 1900-1999 may use the
      -- two or four digit format.


>> - Where the old ASN.1-fashioned type INTEGER is used for signed 32-bit
>> integers, you should use Integer32 in SMIv2 modules instead.

Fred> Fine, if the range of the integer is -2^32..+2^32. 

The range of both INTEGER and Integer32 is -2^31 .. 2^31-1.

Fred> When it's not, one needs to select a TC supporting the correct
Fred> enumeration.

You don't have to define a TC in this case. You can also add a range
restriction to the basetype at the place where it's used (in the SYNTAX
clause of an OBJECT-TYPE).

Fred> Go check the uses here, and you will find that the enumeration
Fred> is correctly specified, rather than specifying that range.

I'm not talking about enumerations or ranges. I'm talking about using
`Integer32' instead of `INTEGER', e.g.:

  diffServClfrNextFree OBJECT-TYPE
      SYNTAX       Integer32 (1..2147483647)
      MAX-ACCESS   read-only
      [...]
  
instead of

  diffServClfrNextFree OBJECT-TYPE
      SYNTAX       INTEGER (1..2147483647)
      MAX-ACCESS   read-only
      [...]

However, this is more of a `should' than a `must'.

If in a DiffServ network I use RSVP for signaling and reserve resources and
some routers are not aware RSVP , how can I guaranteed end-to-end QoS??
I know that RSVP messages can pass through not aware RSVP routers.

Thank 

Sergio

You and I must be reading different versions of ASN.1. last I checked, 
INTEGER was a primitive type, and can (at least theoretically) represent an 
integer which is arbitrarily large. Integer32 is a TC specified in RFC 1442 
and later which limits the range to 32 bits.

           Integer32 ::=
               [UNIVERSAL 2]
                   IMPLICIT INTEGER (-2147483648..2147483647)

Jeff's comment in 1442 was that "Integer32 is indistinguishable from 
INTEGER"; it is an unfortunate comment, as it is in fact very 
distinguishable. If it were indistinguishable, the following specification 
(which is found on the next page, and says that a Counter64 is one of the 
subset of positive integers that can be represented as a 64 bit number) 
would not be very meaningful:

           Counter64 ::=
               [APPLICATION 6]
                   IMPLICIT INTEGER (0..18446744073709551615)

This limitation was imposed a decade and a half ago when computers were 
typically 32 bits wide. The limitation made life easier for early SNMP 
implementors - they could simply pass integers around as ints.

I'll change the dates to have four digit years.

As to the cases where I call out an INTEGER, please explain which of the 
following is incorrect, and why? I'll accept a statement that I should have 
defined a TC for the range 1..2147483647, or that there is one in existence 
that I could have imported and used, but the assertion that I should 
specify one TC and then change it to another mystifies me.

Diffserv doesn't use RSVP. It offers end-to-end behaviours, not end-to-end
QOS. I suggest that you re-read RFC 2474 and 2475.

Hello All,
  In which layer most of these diffserver work ? Though ideally they should
work in IP layer ( Network layer) but I wonder whether most diffserver
implementation support it in Data Link Layer ? Where is it implemented in
Linux ?

 Second, do we have a situation where route has two ingress and two egress
o/p and each of them having different SLA ?




                                      SLA1  -------------------------------
SLA3
From domain 1                   ---------| dm1     FIB module     dm3
|--------------------> To domain 3
From domain 2                   ---------| dm2               |
dm4   |---------------------> To domain 4


                                      SLA3   -------------------------------
SLA4

In this case do we need to have diffserver module (classifier, scheduler
ect) at each interface ?

Regards,
Gopal

If I have non-DIffServ router that can manage IP Precedence, could I use
this router in a DiffServ network and use IP Precedence for mapping DSCPs?

Fred, 

the latest INET-ADDRESS-MIB in <draft-ietf-ops-rfc2851-update-01.txt>
relaxes the rules for InetAddressType/InetAddress tuples as discussed
on the MIBS mailing list. Thus, you can now remove
diffServSixTupleClfrSrcAddrType and change
diffServSixTupleClfrDstAddrType to e.g. diffServSixTupleClfrAddrType
if you like and save a column.

Hi!

I think we should refer the current SMIv2 specifications in RFC
2578-80 and neither the obsoleted RFC 1442 nor ASN.1. There are
important differences.

Both types are `formally' defined the SNMPv2-SMI module:

  SimpleSyntax ::=
      CHOICE {
          -- INTEGERs with a more restrictive range
          -- may also be used
          integer-value               -- includes Integer32
              INTEGER (-2147483648..2147483647),
  [...]
  -- indistinguishable from INTEGER, but never needs more than
  -- 32-bits for a two's complement representation
  Integer32 ::=
          INTEGER (-2147483648..2147483647)
 
(BTW, Integer32 is not defined through the TEXTUAL-CONVENTION macro,
hence it's not a TC) and described in Section 7.1.1:

  7.1.1.  Integer32 and INTEGER
   
     The Integer32 type represents integer-valued information between
     -2^31 and 2^31-1 inclusive (-2147483648 to 2147483647 decimal).  This
     type is indistinguishable from the INTEGER type.  Both the INTEGER
     and Integer32 types may be sub-typed to be more constrained than the
     Integer32 type.

(From the ASN.1 point of view, you are right: INTEGER is unlimited in range.)


Fred>            Integer32 ::=
Fred>                [UNIVERSAL 2]
Fred>                    IMPLICIT INTEGER (-2147483648..2147483647)

Fred> Jeff's comment in 1442 was that "Integer32 is indistinguishable from
Fred> INTEGER"; it is an unfortunate comment, as it is in fact very
Fred> distinguishable. 

INTEGER and Integer32 are indistinguishable in the sense that when
they are used in the SNMP protocol, both use the same type tag so that
a receiver of an SNMP PDU cannot distinguish them just by the tag.

Thanks.

Fred>         transmission on the interface."
Fred>      SYNTAX  INTEGER {
Fred>                  inbound(1),     -- ingress interface

Fred>      }

This is correct. In case of enumerations you have to use INTEGER
(RFC 2578, Section 7.1.1, second paragraph).

Fred> diffServClfrNextFree OBJECT-TYPE
Fred>      SYNTAX       INTEGER (1..2147483647)

In all these cases where you want to use a 32bit signed basetype
(either range restricted or not) I *suggest* to use Integer32 instead
of INTEGER. It is not incorrect as it is right now. I would just prefer
Integer32 simply for alignment with the `common practice' to use the
`new' xxx32 and xxx64 types.

Where did you look?  A search with google.com on the topic 
"leaky bucket" gives a number of excellent resources.

Yes, with some care, as there are things one can
do with diffserv that would not interact will with
such a router (so take care not to do them).

See Section 4 of RFC of RFC 2474 for a longer discussion.
