Implementation of Flow Management in MIPv6 Environment draft-soliman-monami6-flow-binding-03.txt Umar Toseef umr@comnets.uni-bremen.de University of Bremen in collaboration with Siemens AG, Berlin 68th IETF, Prague
Implementation Overview • Basis for implementation • Linux Kernel 2.6.16 • NEMO MCoA (nemo-0.2-mcoa-beta3-20070118) • Ip6tables packet marking functionality • How far the implementation goes • Filter exchange is possible only between HA and MN • Priorities are not considered • Actions FORWARD and DROP are working but not N-CAST • Filters can be defined using source address/port range, destination address/port range, and protocol • Source/destination prefix, SPI and flow label filters have not been implemented
Processing Field • Draft says to use value 255 as the “Remove Filter” • But there were only 4 bits in the PRO field • Used 15 for “Remove Filter” (It has been corrected in the newer version, 04 draft)
Specifying Src/Dest Ports without Protocol • In the tools (e.g. iptables) that we use we specify the protocol before specifying the port numbers • (E.g. 1) If a user specifies ICMP and port 25 • -> disregard OR generate error • (E.g. 2) gives the port without any protocol • -> always assume UDP and TCP and set filters for both OR generate error
Priorities • User can set overlapping priorities, simple e.g. • E.g. 1 user says port range 5000 to 5200 priority 5 • E.g. 2 user again says port 5100 priority 5 • How should MN, HA and CN handle?
Duplicate Receipt of Filter Rules • If the first Filter ACK is lost, MN will send it the second time • HA will send FID already in list and send Error 135 • How should MN handle this situation?
Performance Results Graph 1) Improvement of application performance • Uses 2 UDP streams (simulates RTP/H323 multi-media) • With one interface many packet drop, with 2 interfaces performance improves
Performance Results • Graph 2) Drop of unwanted flows • Uses 2 TCP flows • 1 flow is dropped hence the other flow bandwidth improves
