Subject: tag switching patents

Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Recently, I have been asked questions regarding my December 1996 email on
Cisco's patents and licensing for tag switching. In December, I noted that
if any patents issued to Cisco are required to practice any standards
arising from the MPLS IETF standards process, Cisco intends to disclose
those patents and license them under openly specified and
non-discriminatory terms, for no fee. 

The recent questions have asked what the terms will be. If any patents
issued to Cisco are required to practice any standards arising from the
MPLS IETF standards process, Cisco intends to license those patents under
the terms and conditions that were used by HP in RFC 1988. As noted in
December, our goal is to support and encourage the standardization efforts
within the IETF and to achieve a multi-vendor concensus on a set of
protocols for this new technology area.

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

	Title		: MPLS Label Stack Encoding

   ''Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS)'' [1,2,3] requires a set of
   procedures for augmenting network layer packets with ''label stacks'',
   thereby turning them into ''labeled packets''.  Routers which support
   MPLS are known as ''Label Switching Routers'', or ''LSRs''.  In order to
   transmit a labeled packet on a particular data link, an LSR must
   support an encoding technique which, given a label stack and a
   network layer packet, produces a labeled packet.  This document
   specifies the encoding to be used by an LSR in order to transmit
   labeled packets on PPP data links and possibly on other data links as
   well.  On some data links, the label at the top of the stack may be
   encoded in a different manner, but the techniques described here MUST
   be used to encode the remainder of the label stack.  This document
   also specifies rules and procedures for processing the various fields
   of the label stack encoding.

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

	Title		: A Framework for Multiprotocol Label Switching
	Author(s)	: R. Callon, G. Swallow, N. Feldman, 
                          A. Viswanathan, P. Doolan, A. Fredette

	Pages		: 65
	Date		: 26-Nov-97
	
   This document discusses technical issues and requirements for the
   Multiprotocol Label Switching working group. This is an initial draft
   document, which will evolve and expand over time. It is the intent of
   this document to produce a coherent description of all significant
   approaches which were and are being considered by the working group.
   Selection of specific approaches, making choices regarding
   engineering tradeoffs, and detailed protocol specification, are
   outside of the scope of this framework document.
 
   Note that this document is at an early stage, and that most of the
   detailed technical discussion is only in a rough form. Additional
   text will be provided over time from a number of sources.  A small
   amount of the text in this document may be redundant with the
   proposed protocol architecture for MPLS. This redundancy will be
   reduced over time, with the overall discussion of issues moved to be
   in this document, and the selection of specific approaches and
   specification of the protocol contained in the protocol architecture
   and other related documents.

I have created VPN mailing list and attached a proposed charter. I would
like to start discussion on what the charter of working group should be and
what problems we should be working on. We intend to have another BOF at
IETF but this time we need to nail down the charter.

Description of VPN BOF
----------------------
Virtual Priavate Networking (VPN) is a way of extending a private
network seamlessly  over a public network. However, this raises
various issues such as security, Addressing, Quality of Service to
name a few as the traffic belonging to the private network traverses a
public network.

VPN model can be one of many. An organization can build its VPN. An
ISP can build and maintain a VPN of an organization. VPN can exist
between organizations (extranets).

There is a need to define mechanisms to achieve these capabilies.

Some of the issues that needs to be addressed are:

1. Security: Security can be achived by restricting the packet flowing in an
out of a VPN. In addition the packets can also be encrypted and authenticated.

2. How to provide Quality of Service/Class of service for packets
flowing between the edges. In this case, we may not be worried about
providing end to end QoS but only between edges.

3. How to handle Network Address Translation issues. Even though NAT's
are a kludge, it has been deployed widely and there is a need to
address this issue properly. Should we consider extending the concept of
private addressing over the Internet?

4. Ease of configuration.

5. Reliability.

6. Management

The goals of the VPN BOF are:

1. Decide if there is a need to form a working group to solve some or
all of the problems above.

2. Which of the problems above should be addressed by the working
group.

3. What will the working group produce. In our opinion, we need to
interact with other working groups such as IPsec working group, NAT
working group, int-serv working group, and probably routing working
group to solve some or all of the problems above.

4. What other problems need to be solved for succesful deployment of VPN's.

I have created VPN mailing list and attached a proposed charter. I would
like to start discussion on what the charter of working group should be and
what problems we should be working on. We intend to have another BOF at
IETF but this time we need to nail down the charter.

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

	Title		: MPLS Label Stack Encoding
	Author(s)	: D. Farinacci, T. Li, A. Conta, Y. Rekhter, E. Rosen

	Pages		: 20
	Date		: 18-Feb-98
	
''Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS)'' [1,2,3] requires a set of procedures for augmenting network layer packets with ''label stacks'',
thereby turning them into ''labeled packets''.  Routers which support MPLS are known as ''Label Switching Routers'', or ''LSRs''.  In order to transmit a labeled packet on a particular data link, an LSR must support an encoding technique which, given a label stack and a network layer packet, produces a labeled packet.  This document specifies the encoding to be used by an LSR in order to transmit labeled packets on PPP data links and possibly on other data links as well.  On some data links, the label at the top of the stack may be encoded in a different manner, but the techniques described here MUST be used to encode the remainder of the label stack.  This document also specifies rules and procedures for processing the various fields of the label stack encoding.

A new email discussion list has been setup for discussing the Generalized
Switch Management Protocol (GSMP).

The creation of this list at this time is prompted by the recent
distribution of a new GSMP protocol specification:
ftp://ftp.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-rfced-info-ipsilon-00.txt.

I have spoken to a few people and find that there is at least a mild level
of interest in looking at the GSMP protocol, both  as expressed in RFC1987
and  in the current I-D, as a candidate for the IETF standardization
process.  I contacted the AD of the Internet area about setting up a BOF,
and received the recommendation that first I should create a mail list to
gauge interest.  Hence, the list and this announcement.

I considered asking the Routing I-D for the BOF as I think that GSMP is an
excellent candidate for controlling a remote L2 switch in a LSR.  However,
since I thought a 'general'  GSMP was perhaps useful beyond MPLS, I decided
that the Internet area was more appropriate.  I would not be adverse,
however, to a BOF in the Routing area, or any other area for that matter,
if anyone else thought that was a better alternative.


As far as the list itself goes, in addition to techno-political discussions
on whether it is appropriate to have a BOF, the shape of a WG and charter
etc..., I am hoping we can discuss the recent draft.  I am especially
interested in discussing the protocol's utility for handling multicast
switching and the newly added TOS/QoS  capabilities.  I would also like to
discuss adding other features to the protocol.

Truth in advertising:  I care about GSMP not only because I like the
protocol and think it would be a valuable addition to the IETF protocol
collection.  I also care because I am involved in building a GSMP controlled
switch and would very much like for the GSMP protocol it uses to be a
standard - or at least in the process of being standardized.

Regards,

avri

Ok,  one is really doing a good job when they:

a) forget to give subscription instructions on a list announcement
b) leaves out a part of the URL for the draft
c) gets the name of the protocol wrong

Apologies.

a) send a request to gsmp-request@psyton.com
with
subscribe GSMP user@where.whatever
in the body of the message.

b) ftp://ftp.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-rfced-info-ipsilon-gsmp2-00.txt

c) it is General Switch Management Protocol.  it's me that wants to
generalize it.

Thanks to the many who advised and corrected me.
I am glad so many were interested.

	Title		: VCID Notification over ATM link
	Author(s)	: N. Demizu, H. Esaki, K. Nagami, P. Doolan
	Filename	: draft-ietf-mpls-vcid-atm-00.txt
	Pages		: 10
	Date		: 10-Feb-98
	
   Several label switching schemes have been proposed to integrate Layer
   2 and Layer 3.  The ATM Label Switching Router (ATM-LSR) is one of
   the major applications of label switching. Because the ATM layer
   labels (VPI and VCI) associated with a VC may change on each VC of
   that VCC, it is not possible to use them to identify a VCC in label
   binding messages. The concept of Virtual Connection Identifier (VCID)
   is introduced to solve this problem.  VCID has the same value at both
   ends of a VCC.  This document specifies the procedures for the
   communication of VCID values between neighboring ATM-LSRs that must
   occur in order to ensure this property.

   Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) allows labels to be bound to
   various granularities of forwarding information, including
   application flows. In this document we present a specification for
   allocating and binding labels to RSVP flows, and to distributing the
   appropriate binding information using RSVP messages.

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

	Title		: Carrying Label Information in BGP-4
	Author(s)	: Y. Rekhter, E. Rosen
	Filename	: draft-ietf-mpls-bgp4-mpls-00.txt
	Pages		: 5
	Date		: 17-Feb-98
	
   When a pair of Label Switch Routers (LSRs) that maintain BGP peering
   with each other exchange routes, the LSRs also need to exchange label
   mapping information for these routes. The exchange is accomplished by
   piggybacking the label mapping information for a route in the same
   BGP Update message that is used to exchange the route. This document
   specifies the way in which this is done.

Hi,

I'm trying to implement VPDN( Virtual Private Dialup  Network) with Cisco 
routers and having a hard time. Can anyone point me to a right resources 
( Mailing list, URL etc ) for it, mailing list would be the best. Any 
pointer on this would be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Have you looked at the cco.cisco.com? 

You can send e-mail to "tac@cisco.com" to request for a case, or
alternatively send e-mail to Cisco users mailing list
"cisco@spot.colorado.edu"

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

	Title		: The Assignment of the Information Field and 
                          Protocol Identifier in the Q.2941 Generic Identifier 
                          and Q.2957 User-to-user Signaling 
                          for the Internet Protocol
	Author(s)	: M. Suzuki
	Filename	: draft-ietf-mpls-git-uus-00.txt
	Pages		: 25
	Date		: 29-Jun-98
	
   The purpose of this document is to specify the assignment of the
   information field and protocol identifier in the Q.2941 Generic
   Identifier and Q.2957 User-to-user Signaling for the Internet
   protocol.
 
   The assignment, that is specified in section 4 of this document, is
   designed for advanced B-ISDN signaling support of the Internet
   protocol, especially the B-ISDN signaling support for the connection
   that corresponds to the session in the Internet protocol which is
   clarified in section 2.  This specification provides an indispensable
   framework for the implementation of long-lived session and QoS-
   sensitive session transfers over ATM.

Dear,

I'm writing to inform you that in the ITU-T SG11 Geneva meeting
held in May 1998, WP1 decided to enhance the Q.2941 Generic Identifier
Transport for the Internet Protocol, especially MPLS VCID support.
and WP1 developed the Awaiting-review text (initial draft).
WP1 also decided to continue discussion on the User-to-user 
signaling support for the Internet protocol.

I submitted the following Internet Draft which reflects discussion
in the last IETF and SG11 meetings. This draft is *much* different
from the previous version.

Q.2942.2 Awaiting-review text may be frozen in the SG11 Brussels
meeting which will be held in November 1998. So, if you have comments,
suggestions, or questions to the draft, please let me know ASAP.


Best Regards,

Muneyoshi Suzuki
NTT Multimedia Net. Labs.

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

	Title		: MPLS Label Stack Encoding
	Author(s)       : E. Rosen, Y. Rekhter, D. Tappan, 
			  D. Farinacci,  G. Fedorkow, T. Li, A. Conta
	Filename	: draft-ietf-mpls-label-encaps-02.txt
	Pages		: 21
	Date		: 13-Jul-98
	
"Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS)" [1,2,3] requires a set of
procedures for augmenting network layer packets with "label stacks",
thereby turning them into "labeled packets".  Routers which support
MPLS are known as "Label Switching Routers", or "LSRs".  In order to
transmit a labeled packet on a particular data link, an LSR must
support an encoding technique which, given a label stack and a network
layer packet, produces a labeled packet.

This document specifies the encoding to be used by an LSR in order to
transmit labeled packets on PPP data links and possibly on other data
links as well.  On some data links, the label at the top of the stack
may be encoded in a different manner, but the techniques described here
MUST be used to encode the remainder of the label stack.  This document
also specifies rules and procedures for processing the various fields
of the label stack encoding.

Questions:	ALL (SoI)

SUBJECT:	Status of SoI discussions concerning 
Internet interoperation with DSS2  and B-ISUP 
signalling 

APPROVAL: ITU-T SG 11 in Geneva, 22 May 1998



1.  Introduction

The May 1998 meeting of ITU-T SG 11 benefited 
from the participation of the following ISOC 
representatives:

- 	Dr. Hui-Lan Lu,  ISOC representative 
appointed by the PSTN/Internet Internetworking 
Working Group to Working Party 4/11 (Intelligent 
Networks)(Questions 5/11 and 22/11);
- 	Mr. Joel M. Halpern, ISOC representative at 
ITU-T Study Group 11 Meeting, Geneva, 4-15 May 
1998; and
- 	Mr. Matt Holdrege, IETF Transport 
Directorate Liaison to ITU-T SG 11.

Their contributions to the progress of our work 
during our May 1998 meeting were significant 
both in technical substance and in assisting the 
participants of ITU-T SG 11 to understand the 
ongoing work at ISOC/IETF, thus initiating a 
constructive dialogue between the two 
organizations.


2.  Future interactions

ITU-T SG 11 has appointed Dr. Kenichi KITAMI, 
Chairman of Working Party 1/11, to serve as 
overall point of contact with the ISOC/IETF.  
His e-mail address is: 
kitami@magnet.netlab.ntt.co.jp.

As the need arises for extensive interaction in 
particular work areas, it is our intention to 
appoint appropriate individuals as contact 
persons in those areas, so that distributed 
communications may accelerate information 
exchange.  

So far the following points of contact have been 
identified:

Subject: DSS2 and B-ISUP support of services 
over the Internet
IETF Working Groups:	ION, MPLS, DIFF-SERV, 
INT-SERV, RSVP, RAP	
Contact:  Dr. Kenichi KITAMI, 
kitami@magnet.netlab.ntt.co.jp

Subject: Intelligent Network interoperation with 
services over the Internet

3.  Major Achievements of the ITU-T SG11 May 
1998 meeting

3.1  Major objectives of ITU-T SG 11 concerning 
Signalling Support of Services Over the Internet 

The participants agreed that there are 5 
objectives for efforts within Study Group 11 for 
standardization of Signalling Support of 
Services Over the Internet (SoI):

a)  Efficiently identifying and routing traffic 
destined for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) 
to minimize negative impact upon the Public 
Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), which has 
been engineered for relatively short holding 
time calls;

b)  Defining signalling support for new, value 
added services which may enable public network 
operators, as well as ISPs, to capitalize on the 
growing demand for Internet based and 
Intelligent Network (IN) based capabilities; 

c)  Serving the need of ISPs, Internet Access 
Providers, and "Internet users" to flexibly 
manage dynamic bandwidth and quality of service 
demands from a public network;

d)  Defining mobile wireless access to services 
over the Internet, e.g., virtual private 
networks, provided by either ISPs or public 
network operators; and

e)  Signalling support for Service Interworking 
of both dialup Internet access data applications 
and Voice over IP applications with traditional 
telecommunication services, including support of 
signalling applications and user parts over IP 
based networks.

3.2	DSS2  and B-ISUP support of services over 
the Internet

Related to objective c) mentioned above, ITU-T 
SG 11 received a written indication from the co-
chairman of the MPLS WG that support for the end 
to end transport of MPLS VCID had been discussed 
in the MPLS WG and were considering the use of a 
structured UUI information element.  A number of 
contributions addressing this subject were also 
received.  The result of the discussions within 
ITU-T SG 11 are:

1)	Agreement to associate an ATM Virtual 
Connection with an Internet Session, or an MPLS 
VCID, at the occasion of the connection setup, 
via the Generic Identifier Transport information 
element;
2)	The creation of two baseline documents, one 
for DSS2 (UNI signalling)and the other for B-
ISUP (NNI signalling); and
3) Agreement in principle to initiate approval 
of the draft Recommendation in the next ITU-T SG 
11 meeting in March 1999 (implying final 
approval in February 2000).

Individuals interested in viewing the details of 
the DSS2 baseline document should send a request 
to gratta@lucent.com.  A Word format document 
(of TD GEN/11-67R1) will be forwarded to such 
individuals.

signalling applications and user parts over IP 
based networks.

3.2	DSS2  and B-ISUP support of services over 
the Internet

Related to objective c) mentioned above, ITU-T 
SG 11 received a written indication from the co-
chairman of the MPLS WG that support for the end 
to end transport of MPLS VCID had been discussed 
in the MPLS WG and were considering the use of a 
structured UUI information element.  A number of 
contributions addressing this subject were also 
received.  The result of the discussions within 
ITU-T SG 11 are:

1)	Agreement to associate an ATM Virtual 
Connection with an Internet Session, or an MPLS 
VCID, at the occasion of the connection setup, 
via the Generic Identifier Transport information 
element;
2)	The creation of two baseline documents, one 
for DSS2 (UNI signalling)and the other for B-
ISUP (NNI signalling); and
3) Agreement in principle to initiate approval 
of the draft Recommendation in the next ITU-T SG 
11 meeting in March 1999 (implying final 
approval in February 2000).

Individuals interested in viewing the details of 
the DSS2 baseline document should send a request 
to gratta@lucent.com.  A Word format document 
(of TD GEN/11-67R1) will be forwarded to such 
individuals.

ITU-Telecommunication Standardization Sector	Study Group 11
Questions:	ALL (SoI)

SUBJECT:	Status of SoI discussions concerning 
Internet interoperation with DSS2  and B-ISUP 
signalling 

APPROVAL: ITU-T SG 11 in Geneva, 22 May 1998



1.  Introduction

The May 1998 meeting of ITU-T SG 11 benefited 
from the participation of the following ISOC 
representatives:

- 	Dr. Hui-Lan Lu,  ISOC representative 
appointed by the PSTN/Internet Internetworking 
Working Group to Working Party 4/11 (Intelligent 
Networks)(Questions 5/11 and 22/11);
- 	Mr. Joel M. Halpern, ISOC representative at 
ITU-T Study Group 11 Meeting, Geneva, 4-15 May 
1998; and
- 	Mr. Matt Holdrege, IETF Transport 
Directorate Liaison to ITU-T SG 11.

Their contributions to the progress of our work 
during our May 1998 meeting were significant 
both in technical substance and in assisting the 
participants of ITU-T SG 11 to understand the 
ongoing work at ISOC/IETF, thus initiating a 
constructive dialogue between the two 
organizations.


2.  Future interactions

ITU-T SG 11 has appointed Dr. Kenichi KITAMI, 
Chairman of Working Party 1/11, to serve as 
overall point of contact with the ISOC/IETF.  
His e-mail address is: 
kitami@magnet.netlab.ntt.co.jp.

As the need arises for extensive interaction in 
particular work areas, it is our intention to 
appoint appropriate individuals as contact 
persons in those areas, so that distributed 
communications may accelerate information 
exchange.  

So far the following points of contact have been 
identified:

Subject: DSS2 and B-ISUP support of services 
over the Internet
IETF Working Groups:	ION, MPLS, DIFF-SERV, 
INT-SERV, RSVP, RAP	
Contact:  Dr. Kenichi KITAMI, 
kitami@magnet.netlab.ntt.co.jp

Subject: Intelligent Network interoperation with 
services over the Internet
IETF Working Groups:	PINT
Contact:  Professor Zhengkun Mi, 
mizk@njupt.edu.cn


3.  Major Achievements of the ITU-T SG11 May 
1998 meeting

3.1  Major objectives of ITU-T SG 11 concerning 
Signalling Support of Services Over the Internet 

The participants agreed that there are 5 
objectives for efforts within Study Group 11 for 
standardization of Signalling Support of 
Services Over the Internet (SoI):

a)  Efficiently identifying and routing traffic 
destined for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) 
to minimize negative impact upon the Public 
Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), which has 
been engineered for relatively short holding 
time calls;

b)  Defining signalling support for new, value 
added services which may enable public network 
operators, as well as ISPs, to capitalize on the 
growing demand for Internet based and 
Intelligent Network (IN) based capabilities; 

c)  Serving the need of ISPs, Internet Access 
Providers, and "Internet users" to flexibly 
manage dynamic bandwidth and quality of service 
demands from a public network;

d)  Defining mobile wireless access to services 
over the Internet, e.g., virtual private 
networks, provided by either ISPs or public 
network operators; and

e)  Signalling support for Service Interworking 
of both dialup Internet access data applications 
and Voice over IP applications with traditional 
telecommunication services, including support of 
signalling applications and user parts over IP 
based networks.

3.2	DSS2  and B-ISUP support of services over 
the Internet

Related to objective c) mentioned above, ITU-T 
SG 11 received a written indication from the co-
chairman of the MPLS WG that support for the end 
to end transport of MPLS VCID had been discussed

3) Agreement in principle to initiate approval 
of the draft Recommendation in the next ITU-T SG 
11 meeting in March 1999 (implying final 
approval in February 2000).

Individuals interested in viewing the details of

(of TD GEN/11-67R1) will be forwarded to such 
individuals.
