Let us also use another thread to check for consensus of the PS from multimob.
PS1 (revised): Non-optimal routes Routing via a centralized anchor often results in a longer route. The problem is especially manifested when accessing a local server or servers of a Content Delivery Network (CDN), or when receiving / sending IP multicast packets. PS6: Duplicate multicast traffic IP multicast distribution over architectures using IP mobility solutions may lead to convergence of duplicated multicast subscriptions towards the tunnel's downstream entity (e.g. MAG in PMIPv6). Concretely, when multicast subscription for individual mobile nodes is coupled with mobility tunnels, duplicate multicast subscription(s) is prone to be received through different upstream paths. This problem is potentially more severe in a distributed mobility environment [draft-sfigueiredo-multimob-use-case-dmm-03]. H Anthony Chan From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sérgio Figueiredo Sent: Monday, November 19, 2012 5:24 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [DMM] Multicast requirements Hi Anthony, Thank you for trying to progress on this matter. I mostly agree with your analysis. As for the question you posed, first I would like to exactly understand what you mean with "multicast distribution scenario" in "DMM solutions should enable multicast services which are compatible with multicast distribution scenario, etc.". It seems like there is no major difference between this and the "DMM solutions should enable solutions to support multicast services." requirement? Aren't both expressing the need to enable multicast in a DMM solution? As you stated, "neglecting" the requirement 7.1 we proposed, leads to the PSs you referred. So, while 7.2 and 7.3 express the need for DMM solutions to allow deployment of multicast services, 7.1 concerns "how" IP multicast should be enabled in order to avoid the aforementioned PSs. The usage of the word "flexible"is explained by: "This flexibility enables different IP multicast flows with respect to a mobile host to be managed (e.g., subscribed, received and/or transmitted) using multiple endpoints". In other words, compatibility with "multicast distribution scenario" doesn't necessarily avoid PS1 and PS6.

Before comparing these proposals, let us understand what are the problems first. Two problem statements have been proposed: PS1 (revised): Non-optimal routes Routing via a centralized anchor often results in a longer route. The problem is especially manifested when accessing a local server or servers of a Content Delivery Network (CDN), or when receiving / sending IP multicast packets. PS6: Duplicate multicast traffic IP multicast distribution over architectures using IP mobility solutions may lead to convergence of duplicated multicast subscriptions towards the tunnel's downstream entity (e.g. MAG in PMIPv6). Concretely, when multicast subscription for individual mobile nodes is coupled with mobility tunnels, duplicate multicast subscription(s) is prone to be received through different upstream paths. This problem is potentially more severe in a distributed mobility environment [draft-sfigueiredo-multimob-use-case-dmm-03]. Then, let us see whether all the 3 REQ proposals have the same intention. In the following, I rephrase them to highlight their similarities. REQ7.1: Flexible multicast distribution DMM solutions should be compatible with flexible multicast distribution scenario. Etc. The Motivation is to allow flexibility in (enable) multicast solutions to solve the problems PS1 and PS6 as explained in use cases already presented and discussed in multimob wg. REQ7.2: DMM solutions should enable solutions to support multicast traffic. (Original wording was "The DMM (unicast) solution MUST be specified in such a way that it can be extended to also support multicast traffic." I rephrase it to highlight the similarity with the other proposals and also changed the must to should.) REQ7.3: DMM solutions should enable solutions to support multicast services. Original wording was "DMM solutions should support multicast services ... etc. Given that it is the scope of multimob and not dmm wg to provide the multicast solution, I think "support" here means "enable" solutions to be developed (by multimob). Similarity and subtle differences: Both REQ7.2 and REQ7.3 want to enable multicast services. Yet the explanation in REQ7.1 seems to indicate not just to enable any one multicast solution but also needs the flexibility in multicast solution. Not all multicast solutions are the same. Some of them results in PS1 or PS6. Are there any are essential differences between: In REQ7.1, DMM solutions should be compatible with flexible multicast distribution scenario, etc. Versus DMM solutions should enable multicast services which are compatible with multicast distribution scenario, etc. H Anthony Chan From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Seil Jeon Sent: Monday, November 19, 2012 5:15 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Cc: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [DMM] Multicast requirements Hi Pierrick, I've many times thought about your question. I would say how effectively should we deploy/support multicast over distributed mobility rather than distributed mobile multicast. As a result, you can find this deployment use case and gap analysis at http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-sfigueiredo-multimob-use-case-dmm-03 presented in multimob several times. In unicast DMM, main innovation is to distribute the anchor function at many access routers from single core. Following architectural concept of DMM, flexible multicast distribution is one of multicast requirement resulted from the draft described above. REQ8: Flexible multicast distribution "DMM solutions SHOULD be compatible with flexible multicast distribution scenarios. This flexibility enables different IP multicast flows with respect to a mobile host to be managed (e.g., subscribed, received and/or transmitted) using multiple endpoints". Motivation: The motivation for this requirement is to enable flexibility in multicast distribution. The multicast solution may therefore avoid having multicast-capable access routers being restricted to manage all IP multicast traffic relative to a host via a single endpoint (e.g. regular or tunnel interface), which would lead to the problems described in PS1 and PS6. PS6: Duplicate multicast traffic IP multicast distribution over architectures using IP mobility solutions may lead to convergence of duplicated multicast subscriptions towards the tunnel's downstream entity (e.g. MAG in PMIPv6). Concretely, when multicast subscription for individual mobile nodes is coupled with mobility tunnels, duplicate multicast subscription(s) is prone to be received through different upstream paths. This problem is potentially more severe in a distributed mobility environment [draft-sfigueiredo-multimob-use-case-dmm-03].

However, I do not thnk that the DMM WG is the right WG to provide the multicast based DMM solution! One alternative solution will be to have a multicast requirement that emphasizes the need of having extensibility hooks (possibilities) that can be used later on by the multimob WG to provide a a multicast enabled DMM solution! So a requirement that specifies something like the following could be used for this purpose: "The DMM (unicast) solution MUST be specified in such a way that it can be extended to also support multicast traffic."

At first time, I couldn't make sure however, on hearing Stig's description, it seems quite reasonable at the first step, not giving any restrictions but leaving some-specific for the DMM solution it does not support multicast. On the other hand, it remains at a basic stage for the DMM solution to support multicast. So I think additional requirements need to be made for the DMM solution, accordingly. But of course, this should not also give any specific limitation and restriction but should be made towards the direction not limiting the benefits provided by distributed deployment. I hope to get more comments on this.
