Introduction • NSIS needs to specify a signalling layer protocol for signalling ‘Quality of Service’ • IETF 57: 3 (independent) individual submissions • draft-buchli-nsis-nslp-00.txtdraft-mcdonald-nsis-qos-nslp-00.txtdraft-westberg-proposal-for-rsvpv2-nslp-00.txt • WG decided to have joint WG QoS NSLP draft • Draft-ietf-nsis-qos-nslp-00.txt • Draft-ietf-nsis-qos-nslp-01.txt
Draft overview • Key Components: • Interchangeable QoS Models • Small set of message types • State changing: RESERVE • Non-state changing: QUERY, RESPONSE, NOTIFY • Draft also: • Gives a basic outline of operation • Gives specific requirements on NTLP functionality
Basic protocol structure • Draft focuses on header and Common Control Information header Common Control Info QoS-model specific Control Info QSpec Policy
Message semantics & types • RESERVE: Messages affecting state installation at NSLP • Reserve, Refresh, Commit, Modify, Tear • QUERY: Message collecting path characteristics • Query • RESPONSE: Message responding to RESERVE or QUERY • Ack, Nack, Query_reply • NOTIFY: Unsolicited NSLP messages • Notify
QSpec vs QoS model • QoS model: Mechanism for providing QoS as a whole • Examples: IntServ, DiffServ, RMD • Local or global • QSpec: Set of parameters and values describing requested resources (for flows with QoS requirements) • Two options: by example or by template (currently proposed) • Open issues • How to document QoS models? • Default QoS model? • How to handle local QoS implementations? • Stack new Qspec at edge of QoS model domain? • RMF Interpretation of QSpec in each QNE? • What if you get an unknown QoS model?
Control Information • Indicates how the message should be handled by QNE • 2 kinds • common CI (useful for many QoS models): one, applies to whole message • ResponseRequest • RSN • QoS-model specific CI (only for QoS model specific stuff): one per QSpec • TTL? • Requestor IP address?
Scoping • Restrict the propagation of messages to QNEs • Downstream: limit QUERY on path-characteristics to “sub”-path • Upstream: avoid propagation of RESPONSE beyond requestor • Not for NOTIFY: independent decision per hop • Scoping is done by introducing Control Information • 'back to me' (RII), 'next hop' and 'whole path‘ seem obvious • Open issues: • Are there others that seem useful? • “as far as my QoS model is supported”, “only in AS x”, “until three hops away” • Are they adequately covered by QoS-model specific CI?
Some NTLP requirements • Support for stateless/reduced state operation: OK • Support for SII • Detecting change of NSLP peer: OK • Explicit routing: not necessarily supported • Should be available over API • Last node detection needs to be made explicit • Performance requirements • Partly addressed by messaging associations (parallel ones can handle signalling message priority) • Fast rerouting discovery (NSLP responsible for new reservation) • API impact: expressed as a hint but may be overruled in some cases
Mailing list issues • Adressed in –01 • RSN versus Session ID • session IDs still need to be present and aren't replaced by RSNs. • how QoS-NSLP could react once it notes that it maintains stale state. • Message types • Why not only RESERVE and RESPONSE? • Clarified figure 1 is not an implementation restriction
Mailing list issues (2) • Left for –0x • Summary refreshes: include which objects? Only previous RSN? • Statemaintenance requirements table • SSM support? • QoS model (example, template) -> see previous slides • Nesting of QoS models • Stacking of Qspecs/CI • Relation to/overlap with tunnel management
Backup Slides Yet more detail
RESERVE • Unique properties: • Processing it changes signalling application state; in particular authorisation matters more for RESERVE than other messages • Requires associated lifetime • Idempotent: only care about the latest in sequence • Contains: • QSpec object • Flags (Tear bit, New/Old state, …) • Source Identification Information (SII): keeps track of upstream (stateful) neighbour(s) • Locally significant Reservation Sequence Number (RSN): indicates order of state modifying actions • Sent peer-to-peer
QUERY • Gathers information along the data path • Does not change reservation state • Does not cause NSLP state to be installed • Contains ResponseRequest object • May be scoped
RESPONSE • Provides information about the effect/result of a previous QoS-NSLP message • Referenced by Response Identification Info (RII) • Upstream forwarding does not imply existence of reverse path state • Direct passing may be achieved locally by keeping track of Source Identification Info (SII)
NOTIFY • Used to convey information, typically error conditions • Sent asynchronously • Does not refer to installed state • Does not trigger or mandate any action
