<We probably should not be cross posting the mail to three WG mailers, but I will respond to this one last email>
Hi Li, While the term "hybrid-access" sounds fresh and new, but its important to understand that this is largely a use-case around mobile networks. Per my comments in the last HOMENET meeting, mobility working groups have defined solutions for this multi-access use-case. There are clearly mechanisms that allow network entities to negotiate flow policies and switch traffic on application basis. The access can be LTE, WLAN, SatRAN, Fixed line ..etc, but the negotiated policies allow the peers to agree on binding a flow to a given access. Wearing cisco vendor hat, we have deployed solutions for this use-case for the last decade. So, I agree with the BBF use-case and I think we should probably draft a BCP-type solution document, explaining BBF on the tools that are available for addressing this issue. If there are minor gaps, we should certainly propose extensions to the protocols. As pierrick, I'm also not in favor of defining a control protocol for GRE as its not needed. GRE is a use-plane protocol and the semantics that are present in the header are only designed to be used for adding meta-data related to the IP flows in that tunnel header. There are no semantics for defining a new signaling layer in a user-plane protocol. GRE was always used in conjunction with a signaling protocol and that signaling protocol is IPsec, MIP, PMIP ..and so on. However, you design that control protocol, it will exactly smell and feel like existing protocols. The aspect around subscriber identity, authorization, access policy, Traffic flow template definition …all of this has to be modeled and in the process we will end up reinventing every thing that we defined over the last many years, but it will have a new title, "GRE-CP".

People may agree with the big picture depicture and architecture but not agree with going on extensions to the GRE protocol to address the issue. BTW, I think that going for extensions to GRE header to address the hybrid access use-case is not the right way. Actually, IETF solutions already exist (RFC 4908 ) and, moreover, there is ongoing effort in DMM to update RFC 4908 to meet hybrid access requirements.

Hybrid Access network is that Residential gateway (RG, or CPE) is extended with more than two access lines (e.g. DSL + LTE) in order to provide higher bandwidth for the customers. The scenario and architecture are shown as follows [cid:[email protected]] Right now, we have two individual drafts, one for architecture and requirements, and the other one is for an optional solution. The draft (http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-lhwxz-hybrid-access-network-architecture-00 ; ) proposes the architecture and gap analysis. The solution draft proposes one option for the solutions, http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-heileyli-gre-notifications-00 We did not combine them as one draft, because we believe there may be other candidates, and we would like to have further discussions in the related groups and IETF. We used to present it in Homenet in Toronto. Now the authors have invited Orange to join this architecture work. We will send out the new version of these drafts soon. We are glad to invite the experts for comments.

Thanks. I couldn't really tell what was being proposed from the Liaison statement, so this information is helpful. _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ce message et ses pieces jointes peuvent contenir des informations confidentielles ou privilegiees et ne doivent donc pas etre diffuses, exploites ou copies sans autorisation.
