  1. Deterministic Fast Router Advertisement Configuration Update draft-daley-dna-det-fastra-01.txt Presenter: Greg Daley

  2. Status of draft • Feedback from 00 draft • Preferred simpler solution if available. • Issues captured and tracked (not all resolved) Feedback from 00 draft by Jari Arkko and SooHong (Daniel) Park • Changes incorporated into -01 • No Host interaction with DetFRA options • Simplification of delay calculation (Impl).

  3. Why Deterministic Fast RA? • Getting RAs fast is part of DNA goals • Existing RS response proposals didn’t allow automated Fastest Router conf • Rely on only one router, or manual config • Deterministic Fast RA provides a negotiated ordering amongst responding routers • Automated • Works with arbitrary router topologies

  4. Implementation • Router function implemented in RADVD • Early alpha, a few days to implement (< week) • Tested under Linux. • Uses ICMPv6 Router-to-Router messages. • Exchanged messages modify router ranking • Router responses at agreed fixed delay • Requires Router Solicitations (link hints?) • No Multicast FastRAs yet.

  5. Coding Issues (Ranking) • RankScore calculation straightforward • Ranking possible as list • update on RtR receive. • Care needed to make checks simple, fast. • Original timing calculations cumbersome • Sum of preceding router’s Separation values • Suggest FixDelay= (Rank – 1) * SepFastest

  6. Coding Issues (Messages) • Router-to-Router (RtR) state machine & DetFastRA messaging separate tasks • separately or together?? • Router-to-Router Messages • controls change advertisement • provides transport • LinkID reuses RtR state machine. • No SEND authorization on RtR yet

  7. Differences in Draft-01 • Removes: • All host facing DetFastRA messages removed • Changes: • Tidied up RtR state timers • Change delay calculation to (Rank-1)*Sepfastest • Suggested new router-to-router multicast group

  8. Action Items (1 of 2) • Get feedback from WG • Usefulness • Complexity • Validity of Router-to-Router • Document contents (RtR method?) • Follow up existing issues list • Make code available (BSD license - radvd)

  9. Action Items (2 of 2) • Router Ranking Convergence testing • Largely predictable • Testing with packet loss • Effects on convergence • Effects on DNA timing • SEND Router authorization (further out) • Scalability simulation/calibration • Determine maximum effective ranks.
