Scott, Robert,

Can we agree for now that draft-ietf-l3vpn-gre-ip-2547-04 is OK as is,
and that we can save the discussion below for the day when we address
automated signaling?

                              Ron

Hi Ron,

Draft-ietf-l3vpn-gre-ip-2547-04 just specifies the encapsulation options 
assuming peers are manually configured. IMHO the day already came long 
time back (the moment we started to give ability for single side tunnel 
provisioning) to require automated way for peers to know what the other 
end is capable of decapsulating.

In that light draft-ietf-l3vpn-gre-ip-2547-04 does not seems like easy 
to deploy in large scale today making it an incomplete spec.

Cheers,
R.

I think that the following paragraph needs to be modified:

   The effect is to dynamically create an IP (or GRE) tunnel between the
   ingress and egress PE routers.  No apriori configuration of the
   remote tunnel endpoints is needed.  Note that these tunnels SHOULD
   NOT be IGP-visible links, and routing adjacencies SHOULD NOT be
   supported across these tunnel.  Note also that the set of remote
   tunnel endpoints is not known in advance, but is learned dynamically
   via the BGP distribution of VPN-IP routes.  The IP address of the
   remote tunnel endpoints is carried in the Network Address of the Next
   Hop field of the MP_REACH_NLRI BGP attribute [4]

to:

   The IP address of the remote tunnel endpoints MAY be inferred from 
the Network Address of the Next Hop field of the MP_REACH_NLRI BGP 
attribute [4].  Note that the set of Next Hop Network Addresses is not 
known in advance, but is learned dynamically via the BGP distribution of 
VPN-IP routes.  Assuming a consistent set of tunnel capabilities exist 
between all the PE's and ASBR's, no apriori configuration of the remote 
tunnel endpoints is needed.  The entire set of PE and ASBR routers MUST 
have the same tunnel capabilities if the dynamic creation of IP (or GRE) 
tunnels is desired.  The preference to use an IP (or GRE) tunnel MUST be 
configured.  A set of PE's using two or more tunnel mechanisms (i.e. 
LSP, GRE, IP, etc.) MUST determine the tunnel type on a per peer basis.  
The automatic association of tunnel capabilities on a per peer basis is 
for future study.  Note that these tunnels SHOULD NOT be IGP-visible 
links and routing adjacencies SHOULD NOT be supported across these tunnel.

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 VPN extension for IPv6 VPN
	Author(s)	: J. De Clercq, et al.
	Filename	: draft-ietf-l3vpn-bgp-ipv6-07.txt
	Pages		: 18
	Date		: 2005-8-1
	
This document describes a method by which a Service Provider may use
   its packet switched backbone to provide Virtual Private Network
   services for its IPv6 customers. This method reuses, and extends
   where necessary, the "BGP/MPLS IP VPN" method [2547bis] for support
   of IPv6. In BGP/MPLS IP VPN,  "Multiprotocol BGP" is used for
   distributing IPv4 VPN routes over the service provider backbone and
   MPLS is used to forward IPv4 VPN packets over the backbone. This
   document defines an IPv6 VPN address family and describes the
   corresponding IPv6 VPN route distribution in "Multiprotocol BGP".
   This document defines support of the IPv6 VPN service over both an
   IPv4 and an IPv6 backbone, and using various tunneling techniques
   over the core including MPLS, IP-in-IP, GRE and IPsec protected
   tunnels. The inter-working between an IPv4 site and an IPv6 site is
   outside the scope of this document.

2.  Introduction

   A "conventional" BGP/MPLS IP VPN [2] is characterized as follows:

      Each Provider Edge (PE) router maintains one or more Virtual
      Routing and Forwarding (VRF) instances.  A VRF instances is a VPN
      specific forwarding table.

      PE routers exchange reachability information with one another
      using BGP [3] with multi-protocol extensions [4].

      MPLS Label Switching Paths (LSPs) [5] connect PE routers one
      another.

   In simple configurations, the VPN service is offered by a single
   Autonomous System (AS).  All service provider routers are contained
   by a single AS and all VPN sites attach to that AS.  When an ingress
   PE router receives a packet from a VPN site, it looks up the packet's
   destination IP address in a VRF that is associated with packet's
   ingress attachment circuit.  As a result of this lookup, the ingress
   PE router determines an MPLS label stack, a data link header, and an
   output interface.  The label stack is prepended to the packet, the
   data link header is prepended to that, and the resulting frame is
   queued for the output interface.

   The innermost label in the MPLS label stack is called the VPN route
   label.  The VPN route label is significant and visible to the egress
   PE router only.  It controls forwarding of the packet by the egress
   PE router.

   The outermost label in the MPLS label stack is called the tunnel
   label.  The tunnel label causes the packet to be delivered to the
   egress PE router which understands the VPN route label.
   Specifically, the tunnel label identifies an MPLS LSP that connects
   the ingress PE router to the egress PE router.  In the context of
   BGP/MPLS IP VPNs, this LSP is called a tunnel LSP.

   The tunnel LSP provides a forwarding path between the ingress and
   egress PE routers.  QoS information can be mapped from the VPN packet
   to the tunnel LSP header so that required forwarding behaviors can be
   maintained at each hop along the forwarding path.

   Sections 9 and 10 of reference [2] define more complex configurations
   (i.e., carriers' carrier and multi-AS backbones) in which service
   providers offer L3VPN services across multiple automous systems.  In
   these configurations, VPN route labels can be stitched together
   across AS boundares.  Within each AS, tunnel LSPs carry VPN packets
   from network edge to network edge.

   In most configurations, tunnel LSPs never traverse AS boundaries.
   The tunnel LSP is always contained within a single AS.  In one
   particular configuration (i.e., Inter-provider Option C), tunnel LSPs
   may traverse AS boundaries.

   This memo describes procedures for creating an MPLS packet which
   carries the VPN route label, but does not carry the tunnel label.
   Then, using either GRE or IP encapsulation, the ingress PE router
   sends the MPLS packet across the network to the egress PE router.

   That is, a GRE or IP tunnel replaces the tunnel LSP that was present
   in "conventional" BGP/MPLS IP VPNs.  Like the tunnel LSP, the GRE/IP
   tunnel provides a forwarding path between the ingress and egress PE
   routers.  QoS information can be copied from the VPN packet to the
   GRE/IP tunnel header so that required forwarding behaviors can be
   maintained at each hop along the forwarding path.  However, because
   the GRE/IP tunnel lacks traffic engineering capabilities, any traffic
   engineering features provided by the tunnel LSP are lost.

3.  Motivation

   "Conventional" BGP/MPLS IP VPNs require an MPLS Label Switched Path
   (LSP) between a packet's ingress PE router and its egress PE router.
   This means that a BGP/MPLS IP VPN cannot be implemented if there is a
   part of the path between the ingress and egress PE routers which does
   not support MPLS.

   In order to enable BGP/MPLS IP VPNs to be deployed even when there
   are non-MPLS routers along the path between the ingress and egress PE
   routers, it is desirable to have an alternative which allows the
   tunnel label to be replaced with either IP or (IP + GRE) header.  The
   encapsulation header would have the address of the egress PE router
   in its destination IP address field, and this would cause the packet
   to be delivered to the egress PE router.

   In this procedure, the ingress and egress PE routers themselves must
   support MPLS, but that is not an issue, as those routers must
   necessarily have BGP/MPLS IP VPN support, whereas the transit routers
   need not support MPLS or BGP/MPLS VPNs.

4.  Specification

   In short, the technical approach specified here is:

      1.  Continue to use MPLS to identify a VPN route, by continuing to
      add an MPLS label stack to the VPN packets.  Between the ingress
      and egress PE router, the outermost member of the label stack will
      represent the VPN route label.

      2.  An  MPLS-in-GRE or MPLS-in-IP [6] encapsulation will be used
      to turn the MPLS packet, described above,  back into an IP packet.
      This in effect creates a GRE or an IP tunnel between the ingress
      PE router and the egress PE router.

   The net effect is that an MPLS packet gets sent through a GRE or an
   IP tunnel.

   Service providers must protect the above mentioned IP or GRE tunnel
   as recommended in Section 8.2 of reference [6].  As stated in that
   document,

      "If the tunnel lies entirely within a single administrative
      domain, address filtering at the boundaries can be used to ensure
      that no packet with the IP source address of a tunnel endpoint or
      with the IP destination address of a tunnel endpoint can enter the
      domain from outside.

      However, when the tunnel head and the tunnel tail are not in the
      same administrative domain, this may become difficult, and
      filtering based on the destination address can even become
      impossible if the packets must traverse the public Internet.

      Sometimes only source address filtering (but not destination
      address filtering) is done at the boundaries of an administrative
      domain.  If this is the case, the filtering does not provide
      effective protection at all unless the decapsulator of an
      MPLS-in-IP or MPLS-in-GRE validates the IP source address of the
      packet.  This document does not require that the decapsulator
      validate the IP source address of the tunneled packets, but it
      should be understood that failure to do so presupposes that there
      is effective destination-based (or a combination of source-based
      and destination-based) filtering at the boundaries."


4.1  MPLS-in-IP/MPLS-in-GRE Encapsulation by Ingress PE

   The following description is not meant to specify an implementation
   strategy; any implementation procedure which produces the same result



Rekhter, et al.         Expires February 5, 2006                [Page 7]

Internet-Draft                  L3VPN GRE                    August 2005


   is acceptable.

   When an ingress PE router receives a packet from a CE router, it
   looks up the packet's destination IP address in a VRF that is
   associated with packet's ingress attachment circuit.  This enables
   the (ingress) PE router to find a VPN-IP route.  The VPN-IP route
   will have an associated VPN route label and an associated BGP Next
   Hop. The label is pushed on the packet.  Then an IP (or IP+GRE)
   encapsulation header is prepended to the packet, creating an
   MPLS-in-IP (or MPLS-in-GRE) encapsulated packet.  The IP source
   address field of the encapsulation header will be an address of the
   ingress PE router itself.  The IP destination address field of the
   encapsulation header will contain the value of the associated BGP
   Next Hop; this will be an IP address of the egress PE router.  QoS
   information can be copied from the VPN packet to the GRE/IP tunnel
   header so that required forwarding behaviors can be maintained at
   each hop along the forwarding path.

   The IP address of the remote tunnel endpoints MAY be inferred from
   the Network Address of the Next Hop field of the MP_REACH_NLRI BGP
   attribute [4].  Note that the set of Next Hop Network Addresses is
   not known in advance, but is learned dynamically via the BGP
   distribution of VPN-IP routes.  Assuming a consistent set of tunnel
   capabilities exist between all the PE's and ASBR's, no apriori
   configuration of the remote tunnel endpoints is needed.  The entire
   set of PE and ASBR routers MUST have the same tunnel capabilities if
   the dynamic creation of IP (or GRE) tunnels is desired.  The
   preference to use an IP (or GRE) tunnel MUST be configured.  A set of
   PE's using two or more tunnel mechanisms (i.e.  LSP, GRE, IP, etc.)
   MUST determine the tunnel type on a per peer basis.  The automatic
   association of tunnel capabilities on a per peer basis is for future
   study.  Note that these tunnels SHOULD NOT be IGP-visible links and
   routing adjacencies SHOULD NOT be supported across these tunnel.

4.2  MPLS-in-IP/MPLS-in-GRE Decapsulation by Egress PE

   Every egress PE is also an ingress PE, and hence has the ability to
   decapsulate MPLS-in-IP (or MPLS-in-GRE) packets.  After
   decapsulation, the packets SHOULD be delivered to the routing
   function for ordinary MPLS switching.

   As stated above, if the service provider deploys source-based
   filtering at network edges to protect the IP/GRE tunnel (instead of
   destination-based filtering), the decapsulator must validate the IP
   source address of the tunneled packets.

5.  Implications On Packet Spoofing

   It should be noted that if the tunnel MPLS labels are replaced with
   an unsecured IP encapsulation, like GRE or IP, it becomes more
   difficult to protect the VPNs against spoofed packets.  This is
   because a Service Provider (SP) can protect against spoofed MPLS
   packets by the simple expedient of not accepting MPLS packets from
   outside its own boundaries (or more generally by keeping track of
   which labels are validly received over which interfaces, and
   discarding packets which arrive with labels that are not valid for
   their incoming interfaces).

   By contrast, protection against spoofed IP packets requires all SP
   boundary routers to perform filtering; either (a) filtering packets
   from "outside" of the SP which are addressed to PE routers, or (b)
   filtering packets from "outside" of the SP which have source
   addresses that belong "inside" and, in addition, filtering on each PE
   all packets which have source addresses that belong "outside" of the
   SP.

   The maintenance of these filter lists can be management intensive.
   Furthermore, depending upon implementation, these filter lists can be
   performance affecting.  However, such filters may be required for
   reasons other than protection against spoofed VPN packets, in which
   case the additional maintenance overhead of these filters to protect
   (among other things) against spoofing of VPN packets may be of no
   practical significance.  Note that allocating IP addresses used for
   GRE or IP tunnels out of a single (or a small number of) IP block
   could simplify maintenance of the filters.

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 Virtual Private Networks
	Author(s)	: Y. Rekhter, et al.
	Filename	: draft-ietf-l3vpn-gre-ip-2547-05.txt
	Pages		: 14
	Date		: 2005-8-4
	
This draft describes an implementation strategy for BGP/MPLS IP
   Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) in which the outermost MPLS label
   (i.e., the tunnel label) is replaced with either an IP header or an
   IP header with Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE).

   The implementation strategy described herein enables the deployment
   of BGP/MPLS IP VPN technology in networks whose edge devices are MPLS
   and VPN aware, but whose interior devices are not.

Folks,

Thanks to Hamid, Spencer and Scott for taking minutes. If I hear no 
objections by Friday, I will post these minutes plus all slides that 
were presented.

==============================

Chairs:
Ross Callon <rcallon@juniper.net>
Rick Wilder <rick@rhwilder.net>
Ron Bonica  <rbonica@juniper.net>

Agenda:

16:30-16:40 Document Status Review - Ross Callon

Ross presented the status review.

- Made good progress. Ross mentioned the new RFCs
   published.

- bgp/mpls vpn specification initially waiting for addressing
   the BGP extended communities within the idr wg. Recently it
   was approved to progress and bgp/mpls vpn can progress now.

- iesg evaluation for pe-pe gre or ip in bgp/mpls, revised text
   in wg last call.

- ospf for PE-CE protocol (revised in may) waiting for iesg.
- bgp auto-discovery revised given the feedback received, back
     to AD.

- Waiting for write-up:

     - Constrained VPN route distrib updated, waiting on chairs
     - BGP-MPLS IP VPN for IPv6 updated, recently provided to IESG.

- Revised id needed:

   Virtual Router Architecture and its associated applicability
   statement.  Comments sent to authors.

- Under AD evaluation:

   An architecture for PP CE-based VPNs using IPsec and associated
   AS needs review and update.

- Architecture for PE-PE IPSec tunnel for bgp/mpls ip vpns
   recently updated based on last call comments


- Current work:

    o Requirement for multicast
    o Multicast solution in bgp ip vpn
    o CE-CE member verification
    o l3vpn import export verification (no activity on the above 2 docs).
    o appl stat, framework
    o definition textual convention mib for bgp/mpls ip vpn.


Multicast VPN Requirements - Thomas Morin
   draft-ietf-l3vpn-ppvpn-mcast-reqts-01
=========================================

Thomas Morin presented the draft-id.

- A new update posted 2 weeks ago.
- in this presentation will go through the changes,
   the multicast vpn survey, and we talk about next work.
- On the changes 2 new sections in the draft have been added.
   o Carrier's carrier requirements and
   o New section on QoS (ability to offer different QoS level to
different customers.

- Updated sections: QoS (5.1.3) maintain join and leave delay
requirement
  (refer to RFC2432)and minimum MTU.
- Tunneling technologies need to mention P2MP LSP as much possible.
- Compatibility and migration issues solution should state
   a migration policy.
- Trouble shooting provide the operator with
   means LSP ping
- inter-as section (should provide inter-as mechanism requiring
least....
- Big changes on section 4 (Uses cases) illustrated deployment
   requirements.
- describe use cases scenarios
- provide order of magnitude for scalability requirement,
- waiting for survey.
- finally some edits changes...

- For multicast vpn survey (proposed at last ietf)
- survey overview (to be answered mainly by ISPs)
- focus on future expected deployments.
- typical questions Quantitative and qualitative (type of multicast
deployed, etc).
- Survey launched last week posted on different WG lists
   please answer it and send completed survey to Daniel King Dan
(dnni.com)
- answers expected by Sept 15 05.


Tom described the Next items for the draft such as:
  o complete section 4 with the help of the survey and
  o refine the requirements (PE-Ce protocols, inter-AS,
    carrier's carrier, extranet tunneling protocols, etc)

  o Address some open questions relevance of MTU-related sections.

- Conclusion: requirement is mostly mature except section 4.
Tom asked the audience to provide comments on the draft
on the mailing list and answer and disseminate the survey.

- Questions on the draft:  no questions.

Multicast VPN Solution -  Rahul Aggarwal
   draft-ietf-l3vpn-2547bis-mcast-00
========================================

Rahul presented the draft:

  This is an update on multicast draft, this is Wg document.
  Rahul shows the co-authors/contributors,
  fully committed to move this work forward,

  This presentation for discussion open options.
  Reduce options if possible, outline the issues and
  specify required and optional procedures,
  looking at MVPN routing information exchange
   service provider technologies

- need to look at scalability of entire network.
   consider rate of churn C-joins/Prunes
   number of protocol sessions require frequent periodic
   changes

- how does it fit with 2547 operational model unicast

Rahul shows a table for MVPN routing exchange
not exhaustive list. Periodic refresh, session per PE UI-PMSI,. etc.
for BGP, PIM UNicast, PIM multicast...

- Do we really need PIM-SM with GRE?  Discovery can be done using
    BGP, shared trees can be built with PIM-SSM.

Conclusion

Goal to address these issues and produce 01 version.

Ross: is you proposal is to propose this options to
the WG list. Make Wg aware of the options:

- Ross Callon: is your proposal to ask these questions on the WG
   mailing list?

   Rahul: Yes. Want to capture these questions in the
   minutes.  Send email on the list and initiate the
   discussion.

-Question on BGP encoding to be published. They are already published
  encodings for BGP to carry MVPN information

  Rahul: Existing proposal may or may not be used.

- Question (person from Cisco):  Wants backward compatibility with what
has been
     deployed for years and the Rosen draft.

   Rahul: Certain options have been deployed, some not. Point well taken.

          Need WG input.

- Question: Deprecate PIM-SM?  Some providers already use
     it.
   Rahul: Point taken. OK.

- Question:  need periodic refreshment. There is are WG items that try
   to reduce periodic refreshes. Need to consider these approaches other
that may reduce the overhead.

- Albert, Redback: PIM needs periodic refresh?  There's some work in
   PIM WG to reduce periodic refreshes. Need to consider these
approaches.


   Rahul: Yes, need to look at pragmatic options, point taken.

- Question (from Cisco):  What is a service?  The only difference to the
     MVPN service is whether using SSM or ASM.  The protocol you use to
     implement it should be a separate issue.

   Rahul: draft should talk about applicability of protocols.
          Draft has told about tunneling technologies

   Yakov Rekhter: I disagree. Need to specify which protocol for
                  interoperability reasons.
   Toerless: same with IS-IS and OSPF.
   Yakov: yes.
   Toerless: what does rfc2547 say about IS-IS?
   Dan Alvarez: At least why do we think BGP is suitable.  For
   example there is no information on dynamic building of OSPF trees
   etc.

Comment (Person): this is the wrong level of detail. Why this need to be
                   specified.

Yakov: I disagree because of interoperability reasons need to specify
which protocol
        to use.

Question (Albert from Cisco): last comment: how well bgp is suitable for
multicast
   bgp is not used for intra multicast operation, why BGP is suitable.
   no information on dynamic multicast tree and how it related to
scalability.

   why use BGP as replacement for all existing multicast protocols...

Rahul: Not talking of building trees with BGP,
    just transporting with BGP. one item for consideration

Alcatel: The one thing for BGP helps is to provide a reliable transport.

Rahul: Note that BGP does have filtering mechanism...and is applicable
        in this case.

Ross: some of discussion can go to the text...

Multicast VPN MIB - Tom Nadeau
   draft-svaidya-mcast-vpn-mib-02
================================

Tom presented the draft.

Propose this document to manage rosen-multicast doc. interacts
well with MPLS MIBS.
draft need to use the combined approach will be published soon
after meeting.

- Ross: Have you got input?
- Tom: Yes. Will be published soon.
- Tom: Can we publish it directly as Wg doc.
- Ross: The MIB managed the combined draft. When the MIB will be
      updated to reflect combined drafts then we have two choices:
       either submit as individual contribution and request WG to
       ask for WGs, or just make it wg doc.

Ross: My personal option if the authors of both sides agree this is
the agreed way forward then I don't see objections to adopt it
as WG doc.

Ross: Does anybody has any objection to that?

No objection from audience...


Virtual Router Multicast Solution - Hong-Ke Zhang
   draft-zhang-l3vpn-vr-mcast-01.txt.
=================================================

Presenter: Spencer Dawkins. Spencer mentioned Zhang couldn't make the
            meeting.


There were some scalability questions on the mailing list such
as the number of trees in SP core will not exceed the number of
VRs, and does all multicast traffic in a VR share the same tree,
answer yes.

Does this approach require PIM-DM mode
answer no, next version will say this more clearly.

Questions:

- Ross: whose read the draft:

- Ross: few hand for those who read the document. Obvious question
out of 10 would that be any objection for those become WGs. Not quite
enough need to take it to the WG list and ask the question.


- Ross: if anybody is interested in deploying multicast for
vr please bring those to the mailing list.

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		: Architecture for the Use of PE-PE IPsec
                          Tunnels in BGP/MPLS IP VPNs
	Author(s)	: E. Rosen, et al.
	Filename	: draft-ietf-l3vpn-ipsec-2547-05.txt
	Pages		: 18
	Date		: 2005-8-8
	
In BGP/MPLS IP Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), VPN data packets
   traveling from one Provider Edge (PE) router to another generally
   carry two MPLS labels, an "inner" label that corresponds to a VPN-
   specific route, and an "outer" label that corresponds to a Label
   Switched Path (LSP) between the PE routers.  In some circumstances,
   it is desirable to support the same type of VPN architecture, but
   using an IPsec Security Association in place of that LSP.  The
   "outer" MPLS label would thus be replaced by an IP/IPsec header.
   This enables the VPN packets to be carried securely over non-MPLS
   networks, using standard IPsec authentication and/or encryption
   functions to protect them.  This draft specifies the procedures which
   are specific to support of BGP/MPLS IP VPNs using the IPsec
   encapsulation.

	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

My apologies, because my meeting notes ran out while I was presenting :-)

I remember about three questions from the working group meeting at the 
end of my presentation on draft-zhang-l3vpn-vr-mcast-01.txt, and was 
hoping that the meeting minutes would contain them - I know one was a 
request that we explicitly reference specific requirements from the 
multicast requirements document - does anyone remember what the other 
two questions were?

Thanks!

Spencer

Ron,

 In many places below "Cisco" or "Alcatel" have been used instead of
 names. Can we please fix this?

Hi Folks,

We have had a good response since we sent out the original email. I
wanted to just remind everyone, that there is still time to submit your
completed survey before we publish the results in September.=20

Kind Regards,

Hello,

Here is the Multicast VPN survey that we prepared to complement
draft-ietf-l3vpn-ppvpn-mcast-reqts with relevant informations about
scalability expectations and priorities.

Please broadcast this survey to organizations and/or people that you
know may be interested in the deployments of such solutions.

Completed surveys sould be send, before September 15th,
to Daniel King <dan@dnni.com>, who will anonymise the answers.

Thank you very much,

-Thomas Morin
-------------- next part --------------
Multicast VPN Survey - July 2005

  1. Presentation

      1.1 Context and goal

         Current work in the l3vpn IETF Working group include the
definition=20
         of requirements for Multicast in L3VPNs and the specifications
of=20
         multicast VPN solutions. In this perspective, the authors of
the
         requirement draft [draft-ietf-l3vpn-ppvpn-mcast-reqts] are=20
         initiating a survey to better detail requirements, and
especially
         scalability requirements.

         A summary of the results of this survey will be included in
         the requirements document which should serve as guidelines for
         solution design.

         The scope of this survey is multicast in L3VPNs: the mechanisms
         setup by a VPN provider to carry customer multicast traffic of
         customers.

      1.2 Answering this survey

         This survey will hopefuly be answered by ISPs planing to offer
         a multicast VPN service, and possibly by VPN customers having a
         need for such a service (not all questions of this survey will
         be relevant in that later case).

         If your are an ISP, the answers should relate not to what you'd
         expect today, but more to what you see as a longer term target=20
         for such a service. For scalability figures, please answer what

         you think you would need to support in the longer term.

         If you expect many significantly different deployments, it is=20
         possible to answer the survey multiple times.

         Please answer as much questions as possible, but feel free to
         ommit answers if the question aren't relevant for you.

      1.3 Sending the results

         Once completed, we'd appreciate that you send the document
         to Daniel King <dan@dnni.com>, who will anonymize the survey=20
         results before forwarding them to the L3VPN WG multicast VPN
         requirement drafts authors.

         Please have completed surveys sent before September 15th, 2005.

         Thank you very much !

   2. Questions

     This survey is divided into three parts.

     The first one relates to quantitative questions that can be quickly
     answered by a simple figure (numbers of multicast PEs, of multicast
     VPNs,...), and the second one is made of qualitative questions
     regarding the expected use of the service (features, dynamicity,
     client application use case patterns...).

     In the last part you can express more in detail considerations you
     may have about multicast VPN deployments, including for instance
     specific use cases you think may highlight specific important
points.

      2.1 Quantitative questions

         Here, we are just expecting rough figures and orders of
magnitude,
         such as: 20k, tens of thousands, hundreds, ~7500, O(10^2), etc.


         2.1.1 Deployment and offer

            1. Number of VPNs for which multicast is made available

              * total:   .......

              * per PE:  .......

              If inter-AS and/or inter-provider context is relevant for
you:

              * per AS :       ......
              * per provider : ......

            2. CEs per VPN per PE, for which multicast is enabled:

            ..........

            3. number of PEs per VPN with multicast enabled (source or
            receiver):

            ..........

            4. number of PEs with multicast service enabled:

         2.1.2 Parameters related to customer applications and usage
         patterns

            1. Number of PEs connected to multicast receivers:

            ..........

            2. Number of PEs connected to multicast sources:

            ..........

            3. Number of multicast (*,G) or (S,G) sourced ...

              * ...per VPN:  ..........

              * ...per CE:   ..........

      2.2 Qualitative questions

         2.2.1 Expected VPN customer applications

            1. Type of multicast applications

               Mutlicast applications deployed over a multicast VPN can
               be differentiated depending on many criterias, such as,
               for instance: real-time or not, bandwidth,
receiver-source
               structure (one-to-many, many-to-many, many-to-few...),
               sensitivity to packet loss, number of streams...

               Please give examples of some possible applications, in
               the following form :
                 realtime or not / number of sources / number of
receivers /
                 bandwidth / packet-loss sensitive / streams per
application

               For instance:=20
                  real-time / few and known / many in unknown locations=20
                    / tens of Mbps / loss sensitive / hundreds of
streams

               a) ........

               b) ........

               c) .........

               ...

            2. Dynamics

              * Do you expect customer applications that are sensitive
to
               multicast join/latency (time to receive/leave a stream) ?

               ........

              * What kind of frequency do you expect for mcast routing=20
               changes, at the PE level ?  (eg. "not more than XX leave
and
               joins per hour")

               ........

              * Predictability of sources and receivers locations: do
you
               expect to be able, for each said multicast VPN customer,
to
               have an a priori on the location of customer sources
and/or
               receivers ?

               ........

            3. Customer side protocols: among the following, please
            chose which you'd expect to support at the CE-PE level (y/n)
?

              * PIM-SM:
              * PIM-SSM:
              * Bidir PIM:=20
              * IGMP(v2/v3):
              * MLDv2:=20
              * PIM-DM:

            4. Would you plan to support multicast in a carrier's
carrier
            context ?

            ........

        2.2.1 Network Considerations

            1. Do you have PE for which reachability is less good than
            others (costly or scarce bandwidth) ?

            ........

            2. Do you think some VPNs of your customers may have same
            or close sets of PEs, and may thus possibly benefit from
            using the same PE-to-PE point to multipoint tunnels ?

            ........

            3. Do you plan to deploy multicast VPNs in a multi-AS
            context ?

            ........

            4. Do you plan to deploy multicast VPNs in a multi-provider
            context ?

            ........

        2.2.1 Relative Importance on different aspects

            Please rate the following items according to their relative
            importance - from 1 (Unimportant) to 5 (Important).

            * Seamless interoperability with the current unicast model:
...

            * Multicast VPN must not impose additional
             requirements on CE devices: ...

            * Re-use of existing multicast protocols for multcast
traffic
              transport over the provider core network: ...

            * Support of TE features such as bandwidth reservation and
              admission control: ...

            * Provide the same level of security for both the customer
and
             the SP as available with unicast VPNs: ...

            * Support for global Internet multicast
(emission/reception): ...

            * Support for Extranet (having a VRF in more than one=20
              multicast VPN): ...

   3. Specific considerations you may want to express

I've submitted a new version of this document:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-marques-l3vpn-ibgp-01.txt

I'd like to ask the WG if there is interest in taking this as a working 
group document.

o It is similar in scope to other work that is currently in the WG plate 
(e.g. ospf as pe-ce).
o There is one implementation, there are deployments in several networks.

Both myself and other co-authors have had interest expressed by other SP 
in having this document go through the standardization process. It would 
be nice to hear from SPs on the list if they are indeed interested.

thanks,
   Pedro.

As  a  result of  AD  review,  significant changes  have  been  made to  the
specification draft-ietf-l3vpn-ospf-2547.  These changes  can be seen in the
latest version, draft -04.  It is believed that the draft now corresponds to
the implementations.

The following issues were addressed as a result of the AD review.

The spec was  written so as to  allow a single VRF to  correspond to multiple
OSPF  domains.  However, it  did not  make clear  just which  parameters and
procedures are relative to a domain,  and which are relative to a VRF.  This
has  now been  cleared up.   However,  doing so  required extensive  textual
changes. 

There  are cases  where  BGP decides  to  put a  route into  the  VRF for  a
particular address prefix, and OSPF also decides to put a route into the VRF
for that same address prefix.  Of  course, only one of these can actually be
used for  forwarding.  The  original spec did  not make it  adequately clear
just how  a choice  between two such  routes would  be made.  This  has been
clarified.  In  some cases,  the results will  be different than  they would
have been if the VPN were really a pure OSPF network.  These differences are
now explained and their potential consequences pointed out. 

The  procedures  for  forwarding data  traffic  on  a  sham link  have  been
clarified.  The procedures  for sending OSPF control traffic  on a sham link
have been clarified.  The role of the optional  "sham link endpoint address"
has been clarified.

The  procedures for  translating BGP-distributed  VPN-IPv4 routes  into OSPF
routes have been clarified. 

A discussion  of NSSA routes has been  added.  Alex says it  is not detailed
enough; any feedback in this area would be welcome.

Due to the large number of changes,  Alex has asked for a new last call, and
I expect the WG chairs to formally issue the last call shortly.

This begins working group last call on draft-ietf-l3vpn-ospf-2547-04.
This last call is limited to the changes that Eric has made to the
document (which are outlined in Eric's email below). The last call
will end in two weeks (September 14th).

Please send any comments to the l3vpn (l3vpn@ietf.org) and
OSPF WG mailing lists. The document is an l3vpn WG document but
it reflects OSPF operation/interaction with BGP/MPLS in a
PE/CE environment.

Thanks,
Acee
