PWE3 Control Word Mandate:draft-delregno-pwe3-mandatory-control-word Nick DelRegno PWE3 WG IETF 79
Agenda • Authors/Contributors • Review of Control Word Applicability • Mandatory Control Word • Working Group Draft
Authors/Contributors • Nick DelRegno, Ed., Verizon • Tom Nadeau, Huawei • Vishwas Manral, IPInfusion • David Ward, Juniper
Drivers • The road to interop is simplification. • Control Word already REQUIRED for most encapsulations • VCCV Control Channel Interoperability Issues • See draft-delregno-pwe3-VCCV-mandatory-features-02 • Control Word Negotiation Issues (C=1 vs. C=0) • See draft-jin-pwe3-cbit-negotiation-01
Control Word Deployment Status • Ethernet • Widely Supported • Not Widely Used • ATM (N:1) Mode • Not Widely Supported • Not Widely Used • Purported BW Penalties • Reality: N >> 1
Control Word Mandate • draft-delregno-pwe3-mandatory-control-word-00 • Make Control Word MANDATORY for ALL Encaps • Sequencing remains OPTIONAL • Control Word Preferred (c=1) for Control Word Negotiation = MANDATORY • Section 6.1 of RFC 4447 • Not Backwards Compatible with Implementations which don’t support CW • Going Forward Basis Only • Existing encapsulations should be updated to reflect CW Mandate when they go to PS. Future PWE3 solutions MUST support. • Support for legacy hardware via the LDP capability advertisement update in (draft-jin-pwe3-cbit-negotiation)
Next Steps • Accept as Working Group draft • Complete Implementation Survey • Update Existing Encaps • New RFCs to Update/Supercede Legacy RFCs? • Legacy Implementations Adhere to Legacy RFCs • CW Mandatory for ALL Encaps going forward • WG charter changed to include statement that all existing and new WG work must include CW. • All documents progressing to PS be adjusted to make CW mandatory (and/or point at this document).
