Regarding use of transport mode IPsec to secure tunnels, FYI, our ID has 
(finally) been issued as an RFC:

RFC3884: Use of IPsec Transport Mode for Dynamic Routing

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Layer 3 Virtual Private Networks Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: BGP/MPLS IP VPNs
	Author(s)	: E. Rosen, Y. Rekhter
	Filename	: draft-ietf-l3vpn-rfc2547bis-03.txt
	Pages		: 49
	Date		: 2004-10-5
	
This document describes a method by which a Service Provider may use
   an IP backbone to provide IP VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) for its
   customers.  This method uses a "peer model", in which the customers'
   edge routers ("CE routers") send their routes to the Service
   Provider's edge routers ("PE routers"); there is no "overlay" visible
   to the customer's routing algorithm, and CE routers at different
   sites do not peer with each other. Data packets are tunneled through
   the backbone, so that the core routers do not need to know the VPN
   routes.

   This document obsoletes RFC 2547.

It's great to see this document move forward!
I have several comments, below.  (They are relative to the -03 draft, which 
appeared shortly after the last call was issued.)
---------------


In sect. 2.2, 2nd paragraph, it says  "In an RFC2547 VPN environment, it 
makes most sense to place control of the policies with the egress PE 
router."  I don't necessarily disagree with this but I believe the document 
should offer some arguments in support of this statement, since it is the 
basis for much of what follows.  Just because this is convenient to 
implement doesn't necessarily mean it is the most desirable.

In 2.2, 3rd paragraph, I don't understand what the last sentence means:
    (However, in this sort of application
    the ingress PE and the egress PE are NOT really independent entities
    which might conceivably have different security policies.)
Perhaps it can be reworded.

The document calls (sect. 2.3) for using an Extended Community to signal 
the requirement to use IPsec for certain VPN routes.  But it is vague on 
exactly what the semantics should be and there is no allocation of a 
community type.  As such this does not do much to encourage interoperable 
implementations.  I don't know, maybe this is par for the course for 
Experimental RFC status?  Or should it be specified further now?

Besides using the (rather blunt, IMO) technique of not accepting labeled 
packets from outside the SP's network, it is difficult (impossible?) to 
create a mixed environment where some traffic is protected by IPsec and 
some is not.  This is because there is no way of knowing which PE the 
unprotected traffic came from, and hence no way of making sure traffic that 
was supposed to be protected isn't slipped in with the unprotected.  If the 
draft could address this problem in some way (perhaps a lowered expectation 
of supporting such a mixed environment) it would be more credible.

In sect 2.6 para 3, discussing whether IPsec SAs should be per-PE-pair or 
per-VPN it says "Since the SA is PE-to-PE, NOT CE-to-CE, having a different 
SA for each VPN does not provide any additional security."  While I agree 
that per-PE-pair seems to be the right granularity for other reasons, I 
disagree with the statement about not providing additional 
security.  Sharing an SA across multiple VPNs allows an adversary who can 
send traffic within one VPN and also sniff the PE-PE link to mount a 
known-plaintext attack against the encryption.

In sect 2.6 para 6 it says that the PE router should deliver the MPLS-in-IP 
(or GRE) packet to the IPsec module, along with the corresponding IPsec 
Extended Community value.  What is reason for passing the extended 
community?  What information does it convey that the IPsec module would need?

Re sect 2.6:  Assuming a given PE device implements IPsec for other 
applications, how is the IKE Responder to determine the purpose of a given 
SA (so that it knows how to process packets received from the SA, and so it 
knows that it can send VPN packets on the SA)?  If the negotiated traffic 
selectors are for protocol MPLS-in-IP, it could *perhaps* deduce this.  But 
that's an even bigger stretch if the SA is negotiated for protocol 
GRE.  There are other possible solutions, perhaps deducing the SA is for 
BGP/MPLS VPN use if the signalling is directed to the IP address that is 
advertised as the BGP next hop address.  Another possibility might be to 
define an IKE payload to convey this.  In any event, calling out one 
specific mechanism would encourage interoperable implementations.

In sect. 2.7, item b.iii, it describes case iii relative to item b.ii ("... 
but case ii does not apply").  I suspect that not every reader ;-) would 
reach the same conclusion as to what case this actually covers.  Can the 
case be spelled out more specifically?  I think replacing "but case ii does 
not apply" with "indicating that IPsec is to be used in all cases" would do 
the trick.

The last 2 paragraphs of sect. 2.7 are very implementation-oriented.  I 
don't see that they really add much to the document; I'd consider removing 
them.


Nits:

Many of the references to RFC2547 VPNs have been replaced by references to 
BGP/MPLS IP VPNs.  It would be nice to fix the rest.

In  the 6th paragraph of sect. 1, where it is discussing ingress and egress 
PEs directly adjacent and says "... even in the case where a backbone route 
label would not be used" it seems to assume that PHP must always be 
used.  "... even in the case where a backbone route label *might* not be 
used" would be more appropriate.

In sect 1.4 para 2,
   s/is the one way/is one way/
   s/to connecting a/to connect a/


Thanks,
Mark

Hello folks

in the draft, given that AS#RT# froms a NLRI,

a. Is it possible to have only the AS#RT#s avaliable
on a node and based on the fact that someone does an
import of that RT#, the prefixes should be fetched?
(that is we only send AS#RT# to peers via BGP and when
group membership/VPN membership is signaled, the
prefixes are imported)

b. If (a) is not feasable for whatever reasons  (like
time to fetch prefixes etc), and assuming that
AS#RT#prefix# are all present on the peer, can we
assume that only when a peer of the node imports a
particular AS#RT#, will the corresponding forwarding
element/label be inserted in the FIB?

In other words, other than the benefits of TE from
RSVP-TE, can a or b be used to setup signaled LSPs?

-brgds
Sylvia

Hi Sylvia,

If I am interpreting your quiestion right - yes A is possible. In fact 
stay tuned for more details on A alone. I have work in progress trying 
to document A a bit in more detail.

Thx,
R.

Thanks a lot Robert,

Just happy to know I wasn't a raving lunatic when I
asked for something like RT :))

for TE, I guess we will have to wait for the link
bandwidth community to happen or the metric to change
into bandwidth from hops.

looking forward to it..

A: Maybe the description of the third paragraph of 4.3 is not very clear.
4.3 mainly focus on the issue of loop prevention using up/down bit. At last, 
Redistribute addresses will be converted to some type of LSP(level-1/level-2, 
internal/external reachability...) as per the attribute that bgp extended
community carry. Besides, when we configure the command "redistribute bgp... "
in isis, we also can specify the level/metric-type of converted lsp by the 
command parameters, which i think should be prefered to "choose" to BGP ext-com carry. 

So, it is not "redistributed addresses must be less preferable in the routing 
calculation ". We can consider to remove the specification or give a more 
clear description in the next version of the draft. 

I wonder if i have clarify the confusion.

A: As per the last explanation, "backdoor link is always preferred" will not happen.

A: Yes, we should add one more restriction that CE sites must belong to level-1. 
PE-CE can work in both level-1 and level-2 domain.

A: Agree.

A: This is a really big problem for us. Sham link is only required when back door
exists. But it is more difficult for isis to exchange hello or LSP packet via 
backbone between PEs because we can't forward the hello/LSP through multi-hop
as what OSPF vitual link could do.  
In my opnion, it is difficult to maintain "up/down" relationship between PEs. 
I think we can simply add the sham link(NBR TLV) into the PE's LSP if the 
route of the address that sham link configuration designate is active . 
what is your good option?

A: I think we only need to support the maually configured manner, which  is more
simple and also prcatical.

A: In my opnion, the draft only need to specify a method to configure the 
metric of the sham link. Who is responsible to decide the metric value is 
beyond the scope of the draft.

A: Yes, we forget to add the wide-metric part into the initial draft, we 
will update it in the draft of the next version.

A: Thanks for your very helpful work. In fact, the initial draft need to be
elaborated really.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Layer 3 Virtual Private Networks Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Use of PE-PE GRE or IP in BGP/MPLS IP VPNs
	Author(s)	: Y. Rekhter, E. Rosen
	Filename	: draft-ietf-l3vpn-gre-ip-2547-03.txt
	Pages		: 7
	Date		: 2004-10-11
	
This draft describes a variation of BGP/MPLS IP VPNs ([BGP-MPLS-VPN])
   in which the outermost MPLS label of a VPN packet (the tunnel label)
   is replaced with either IP or a GRE encapsulation. This enables the
   VPN packets to be carried over non-MPLS networks.

Defeng Li,

Thanks for the response to my comments.

We understand your explanation, however we still think that the text
describing the effect of using the up/down bit in relation to sham links
could be expanded.

Consider the case where there are two PE devices (A and B), connected by an
MPLS/BGP VPN, and also connected through IS-IS with a back-door link.  The
requirement for preventing the redistribution of redistributed addresses is
as follows.

 - PE device A learns of a destination address in an IS-IS LSP from a router
at the local customer site.

 - PE device A advertises the address via BGP to remote PE device B.

 - PE device B redistributes the address into the IS-IS network.

 - PE device A learns of the destination address in the IS-IS LSP of PE
device B.

 - PE device A has now learnt the address from both a local router, and from
PE device B.

 - It is a requirement that the preferred route of PE device A is the route
to the local router.  (Otherwise, A will install the redistributed route to
the address in the forwarding table, and then redistribute this
redistributed route via BGP to PE device B, and so on.)

The method you suggest uses the up/down bit to ensure that this requirement
is met.  This works due to the rules of route preference defined in RFC 2966
- for example, a level 1 route with internal metric is always preferred to a
level 1 route with the up/down bit set (regardless of the actual metric
value).  

So the redistributed routes are less preferable.  Note that the VPN will
still be used for traffic - consider the following cases.

1) If there is no back-door link the routes learnt from BGP are used to
route traffic over the VPN link (regardless of whether a sham link is used).

2) If there is a back-door link, but no sham link, then the routes over the
back-door link are always preferred (because of the setting of the up/down
bit).  In other words, the VPN link is acting as a back-up link - it is only
used if the back-door link goes down.

3) If there is a back-door link and a sham link, then the routes learnt over
the VPN are not used.  However, the internal IS-IS routes may take the
inter-site traffic over the VPN (sham) link and/or the back-door link,
depending on the network topology.
 

To answer your question on sham links - I think that manual configuration of
the sham links probably makes the most sense.  BGP can still be used to pass
the end-point addresses between the VPN sites - the presence of these
addresses indicates whether the sham link is usable (and should be added to
the IS-IS LSP), rather than for auto-configuration.

A: Maybe the description of the third paragraph of 4.3 is not very clear.
4.3 mainly focus on the issue of loop prevention using up/down bit. At last,

Redistribute addresses will be converted to some type of
LSP(level-1/level-2, 
internal/external reachability...) as per the attribute that bgp extended
community carry. Besides, when we configure the command "redistribute bgp...
"
in isis, we also can specify the level/metric-type of converted lsp by the 
command parameters, which i think should be prefered to "choose" to BGP
ext-com carry. 

So, it is not "redistributed addresses must be less preferable in the
routing 
calculation ". We can consider to remove the specification or give a more 
clear description in the next version of the draft. 

I wonder if i have clarify the confusion. 
> 
>  - Such routes are less preferable to internal IS-IS routes, and so the
> backdoor link is always preferred.  The result is that nothing is gained
by
> allowing different metric types/levels to be advertised in BGP extended
> communities.

A: As per the last explanation, "backdoor link is always preferred" will not
happen.

> 
>  - This also imposes topology restrictions.  If the customer site
containing
> a CE device contains multiple areas, then the routes from BGP will only be
> advertised in the level 1 area containing the CE device.  These routes
> cannot be advertised via level 2 to other areas, because the route has the
> up/down bit set.  Similar problems arise if the CE devices are in a level
2
> only topology.
> 
> These examples show that there are a number of types of topology for which
> the solution currently doesn't work.  We should either look at the best
way
> to enhance the draft to apply to any topology, or (as mentioned above) the
> draft should describe any topological restrictions.

A: Yes, we should add one more restriction that CE sites must belong to
level-1. 
PE-CE can work in both level-1 and level-2 domain.

> 
> 4) The document needs to describe the sham link processing in much more
> detail.  In particular, it should explain the following points.
> 
>   a) Why are sham links required?  They are needed because routing
> information passed through the VPN must be less preferable than the
internal
> IS-IS routes learnt via the back-door link.  In order for the VPN to be
used
> for routing traffic, it must appear as an IS-IS link with lower cost than
> the back-door link. 
A: Agree.

>  
>   b) When can a sham link can be set up?  An IS will only route over the
> sham link if it has the LSPs describing both ends of the link.  Hence the
CE
> devices at both ends of a sham link must either both act at level 2, or
both
> be in the same area at level 1.  

A: This is a really big problem for us. Sham link is only required when back
door
exists. But it is more difficult for isis to exchange hello or LSP packet
via 
backbone between PEs because we can't forward the hello/LSP through
multi-hop
as what OSPF vitual link could do.  
In my opnion, it is difficult to maintain "up/down" relationship between
PEs. 
I think we can simply add the sham link(NBR TLV) into the PE's LSP if the 
route of the address that sham link configuration designate is active . 
what is your good option?


> 
>   c) How is the sham link configured?  This should differentiate between
> information that is manually configured, and information that can be
> auto-configured (for comparison, see draft-rosen-vpns-ospf-bgp-mpls-06,
> which describes how sham links may be manually configured and/or
> automatically configured).  In particular, the document should describe
how
> the metric used for each link is chosen -  it could either be manually
> configured, or a default value used for each link, or it could be based in
> some way on the cost of the path between the PE devices.

A: I think we only need to support the maually configured manner, which  is
more
simple and also prcatical. 

> 
>   d) Is it the customer or the service provider that is responsible for
the
> metric chosen for a sham link?  The metric will have a significant effect
on
> the whether the customer IS-IS network uses the sham link or the back-door
> link for traffic.  Hence the choice of metric must come from the customer.
> However, it is the (service provider configured) PE devices that actually
> sets up the sham link.

A: In my opnion, the draft only need to specify a method to configure the 
metric of the sham link. Who is responsible to decide the metric value is 
beyond the scope of the draft. 


> 
> 5) The draft assumes that narrow metrics are used.  Wide metrics are
> commonly used in IS-IS networks (and may even be required to give
sufficient
> differentiation between the cost of a sham link and the cost of a
back-door
> link), so the draft should consider the wide metrics case.
> 
A: Yes, we forget to add the wide-metric part into the initial draft, we 
will update it in the draft of the next version. 

> 6) I have a number of minor editorial comments that I will mail to you
> privately.

A: Thanks for your very helpful work. In fact, the initial draft need to be
elaborated really.

Hello,

We just submitted a requirements draft for the support of multicast in
provider provided  IP VPNs.

http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/i-d-announce/current/msg02443.html
Abstract: 
   This document presents a set of functional requirements for network 
   solutions that allow the support of IP multicast within IP provider
   provided VPNs. It specifies requirements both from the end user 
   and service provider standpoints. It is intended that potential 
   solutions, that specify the support of IP multicast within VPNs, 
   use these requirements as a guideline. It is not the intent of this 
   document to propose technical solutions, nor to detail solution 
   specific issues. 

This draft currently reflects the position of FT R&D and FT group
operators, but we already received interesting feedback from other
operators which should contribute to next revision of draft.  

The main goal of this first submission is to trigger discussion about
the requirements for this service, so all issues are very opened and
your comments on this draft are very welcome.

Regards,

-Thomas Morin

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Layer 3 Virtual Private Networks Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: OSPF as the Provider/Customer Edge Protocol for 
			  BGP/MPLS IP VPNs
	Author(s)	: E. Rosen, et al.
	Filename	: draft-ietf-l3vpn-ospf-2547-02.txt
	Pages		: 20
	Date		: 2004-10-21
	
Many Service Providers offer Virtual Private Network ("VPN") services
   to their customers, using a technique in which customer edge routers
   ("CE routers") are routing peers of provider edge routers ("PE
   routers").  The Border Gateway Protocol ("BGP") is used to distribute
   the customer's routes across the provider's IP backbone network, and
   Multiprotocol Label Switching ("MPLS") is used to tunnel customer
   packets across the provider's backbone.  This is known as a "BGP/MPLS
   IP VPN".  The base specification for BGP/MPLS IP VPNs presumes that
   the routing protocol on the interface between a PE router and a CE
   router is BGP.  This document extends that specification by allowing
   the routing protocol on the PE/CE interface to be the Open Shortest
   Path First ("OSPF") protocol.

Hi,

We submitted a following new MVPN draft recently which we would like
to discuss at next upcoming IETF meeting.
The draft describes a new IP Multicast VPN architecture which,
we beleive, provides flexible service operation for SPs and enhances
the scalability performance of the network.

Your comments and feedbacks on this draft are very welcome.

Regards,
Seisho

CALL FOR PAPERS
IEEE Communications Magazine

Feature Topic on
"Challenges in Enabling Inter-Provider Service Quality on the Internet"
*************************************************************************

** Submission deadline extended to 26 November 2004.**

As carriers and service providers build multi-services networks based on
IP/MPLS-
enabled infrastructures that are able to meet evermore stringent service
level
agreements (SLAs) and quality-of-service (QoS) requirements, it becomes a
key
issue to extend the ability to deliver these services across carrier and
service
provider domain boundaries, while at the same time preserving the same SLAs
and
QoS assurances as those provided within a given provider's network.

The advent of new end-user applications, as well as new services based on
MPLS  technology, such as Layer 2 Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS) and
Layer 3 Virtual  Private Networks (L3VPNs), also means the emergence of
added service quality
requirements from operators deploying and interoperating these networks and
the
end-users themselves. As a result, providers and vendors require efficient
means to
enable inter-provider service quality, which comprises of several key
elements
including quality of service, class of service, security, OAM, and
restoration and
repair.

This will is lead to the emergence of improved or novel tools and techniques
to address these aspects, with the goal of guaranteeing service quality
end-to-end,
improving security and billing/accounting, and reducing operating costs.
Standards
organizations such as the IETF and the ITU are taking on significant work in
this
area, and various aspects of this subject are also being investigated by
bodies such
as the OIF, the MSF, the MPLS/Frame Relay Alliance, the IEEE, and the Metro
Ethernet Forum, and are the themes for numerous upcoming conferences.

This feature topic issue of the IEEE Communications Magazine has a
multi-pronged
focus on the delivery of inter-provider service quality:

*	Highlight operator and end-user concerns and requirements.
*	Feature current and/or planned deployment experiences.
*	Survey modern research and engineering developments.
*	Spotlight contemporary standards activity.

Thus, focused tutorial and survey contributions as well as research papers
are
solicited on (but certainly not limited to) the following topics:

*	Carrier requirements for efficient inter-provider service quality: Current
        operational needs, bottlenecks, future demands
*	Deployment experience with inter-provider service quality on IP/MPLS-
         based networks: comparative analysis, case studies
*	QoS management in an inter-provider environment: interconnection
        architectures using MPLS, Diffserv, QoS performance, path
        characterization, routing policies
*	Service assurance in inter-provider infrastructures: End-to-end SLA
        management, service billing/reporting, admission control
*	Failure and restoration requirements/challenges in inter-provider contexts
*	Interoperability and inter-working of diverse equipment types and
        technologies (ATM, FR, Ethernet)
*	Current engineering and research developments: E.g. Passive and active
        performance measurement and monitoring, TE, modelling and simulation
*	Standards activities and initiatives: new services and network
architectures

On-line CFP with submission instructions can be found at:
http://www.metanoia-inc.com/IEEECommMag_InterProviderQoS_CFP.htm

Submission

Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style
comprehensible
to readers outside the specialty of the article. Articles may be edited for
clarity  and grammatical accuracy, and will be copyedited according to the
Magazine's style.
Mathematical equations should not be used (in justified cases up to three
simple
equations could be allowed, provided there is consent of the Guest Editor;
more than
three equations require permission from the Editor-in-Chief). Articles
should have no
more than 4,500 words, no more than 6 tables/figures, and no more than 15
references. Guidelines for prospective authors can be found on-line at
http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html.

** Please submit no later than 26 November 2004.**
Accepted papers will also be included in Communications
Interactive (CI), the online version of Communications Magazine.


Manuscript Due:                                         **26 November 2004**

Technical Summary

This document describes a method by which a Service Provider may use
an IP backbone to provide IP VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) for its
customers.  This method uses a "peer model", in which the customers'
edge routers ("CE routers") send their routes to the Service
Provider's edge routers ("PE routers").  BGP is then used by the
Service Provider to exchange the routes of a particular VPN among the
PE routers that are attached to that VPN.  This bis done in a way which
ensures that routes from different VPNs remain distinct and separate,
even if two VPNs have an overlapping address space.  The PE routers
distribute, to the CE routers in a particular VPN, the routes from
other the CE routers in that VPN.  The CE routers do not peer with
each other, hence there is no "overlay" visible to the VPN's routing
algorithm.  The term "IP" in "IP VPN" is used to indicate that the PE
receives IP datagrams from the CE, examines their IP headers, and
routes them accordingly.

Working Group Summary
 
There has long been consent in the WG to move this document
forward. Indeed, the original charter called from revising 
RFC 2547 (informational) to reflect experience with it, and put it on
the standards track.
 
Protocol Quality
 
This document has been reviewed for the IESG by Thomas Narten.  There
are numerous implementations in use.
