Hi  Sérgio & Seil

Thanks for the proposed text. 

> 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". 

[Luowen] Not quite understand what is meaning of " flexible multicast 
distribution scenarios"?  And what is "multiple endpoints"? I have read 
through the draft 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-sfigueiredo-multimob-use-case-dmm-03 
roughly (sorry, not in detailed), it indeed describes some scenarios of 
multicast with dmm concept. But it gives me an impression that the 
scenarios are based on some kind of assumed unicast solution and 
architecture. Also, the text proposed here give me feeling that it falls 
into solution scope.

Re: [DMM] Multicast requirements






Dear all,

As requested we have been working on a proposal for updating current DMM 
Requirements draft, reflecting the work developed in 
"draft-sfigueiredo-multimob-use-case-dmm-03.txt". We were careful to 
follow the expressed concerns, mainly by not impacting the current (mostly 
accepted) draft structure and content.
As such, we propose the following 2 changes:

# Proposal 1 - small update to PS1 #
PS1: 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 using 
IP multicasting.

# Proposal 2 - Add a new requirement#
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].


Best regards,
Sérgio & Seil

Hi Pete,

That might be one of them we can take on DMM. Imagine, depending on
deployment of existing IP multicasting standard entities, we can think of
various use cases as presented in
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-sfigueiredo-multimob-use-case-dmm-03.
Direct routing cannot be applied in every scenario.

After I came back from the trip, we (me and Sergio) have been working on
this with priority. After carefully reviewing the requirement from the use
cases, we'll announce it soon.

Regards,
Seil

In the DMM case my assumption is that the anchor points are closer to the
access routers and therefore are very likely to be in the same
administrative domain.  In these cases, joining the multicast group 
directly
from the access router gives you the same access to the same multicast
streams and so tunneling the multicast packets won't be necessary.

Dear Pete,

multicast mobility management is a route adaptation problem. As in the 
unicast case, mobility can only be treated by routing dynamics in 
trivial cases (re-connect of a tunnel, re-association with next hop).
Otherwise it is unwise to delegate mobility adaptation to routing 
protocols (-> OSPF, BGP ...).

Accordingly, if DMM distributes mobility operations, handover 
management should foresee easy interconnects to previous distribution 
trees - both for receivers and for mobile multicast sources.

I guess, if DMM people are careful, this is not a world-class item and 
can be treated along the lines of unicast solutions - an isolated 
multicast protocol treatment (as has been previously proposed from 
MULTIMOB folks) seems inappropriate. In core PMIP, multicast treatment 
has turned out to work out simply (-> RFC6224).

Thus my argument: talk to the multicast guys before adopting a 
solution ... and make the rest an easy game.

Cheers,

Thomas

Folks,

This mail is to kick off the discussion on multicast requirement(s) 
for the draft-ietf-dmm-requirements-02 document. I hope we can nail 
down the essential multicast requirement(s) as soon as possible.


To me, multicast in a DMM environment means joining multicast groups 
directly from access routers.  It means re-joining the multicast tree 
from a new access router after handover.  I would hope that we can 
use existing MLD protocols between the MN and its first hop AR to 
accomplish this.
