Deepak: 

 

I have asked for clarification on requirement to include of RFC2119 to WG
chairs on another document.  After I get the final input from WG chairs and
ADs I will post it here.

Hi Greg,

 

MAY as per my understanding of RFC2119 is optional and vendor may choose to
include the item.

I agree we need to discuss the requirement(s) whether it should be MAY or
SHOULD as I believe SHOULD "RECOMMEND" it but not force it to be mandatory.
I will prefer it to be SHOULD especially 1. requirements as that's what
asked by operators.

 

I will want discussion on 3 new items below

 

1. NVo3 OAM solution should address exact path tracing of particular traffic
between two tenant edge system from nvedge and provide complete visibility
of underlay network with ECMP.

2. Nvo3 OAM solution should work both in-band and out-of-band mechanism.

3. Path mtu

 

I will want to discuss below existing requirement(s) should be MAY or SHOULD
as this is the most important requirement(s) asked by operator(s) and in
multi-vendor network we need solution.

R3) NVO3 OAM MAY allow monitoring/tracing of all possible paths in
   the underlay network between a specified set of two or more NV Edge
   devices.  Using this feature, equal cost paths that traverse LAG
   and/or ECMP may be differentiated.
R14) NVO3 OAM frames MAY provide a mechanism to exercise/trace all
   data paths that result due to ECMP/LAG hops in the underlay network,
   if these paths have been known.
Thanks,
Deepak

Hi Deepak, 

I believe that statement that uses MAY as normative language is not a
requirement. As noted earlier, everything we agree as requirements has use
MUST or SHOULD NOT. Solutions, of OAM in particular, MAY support some
requirements. I think authors and the WG should review, discuss requirements
and use of normative language.

Greg

Hi Greg,

 

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ashwood-nvo3-oam-requirements-03

 

If I do search of above draft I see it has MAY requirements. Can we add
requirement for Out of Band support so it can be controller driven also as
MAY requirement.

 

Thanks,

Deepak

Hi Deepak, 

I believe that ALL requirements are MUST as these are requirements, not good
wishes.

As example, I can refer to OAM Requirements in BIER tat does include
requirement to support PMTUD.

 

Regards,

Greg

Hi Greg,

 

I am talking about adding below requirement(s) in OAM requirement document
so solution address all pieces of requirement.

Path MTU is also very important requirement. I am asking that these
requirements are acknowledged and call out as MAY so solution can work on
addressing them.

 

Thanks,

Deepak

Hi Deepak, 

I think that if a document merely describes the status quo then it should
not be on Standard track but Informational, Experimental or BCP.

Hi Greg,

 

Nvo3 Requirement(s) should be updated to the way OAM is deployed by
Operators.

Operators are deploying OAM in conjunction with Controller with l2/l3 vtep
split between multiple switches and also combined. 

As Requirement will drive the solution and standard to be usable operator
deployment is important.

 

Thanks,

Deepak

Hi Deepak, et. al, 

I think that if we agree that particular OAM mechanism is needed to monitor,
report defect or troubleshoot failure, then even it may be used in one of
many deployment scenarios such requirement is a MUST for NVO3 OAM but is MAY
for particular OAM tool set. In other words, to support particular
deployment scenario NVO3 OAM protocol MUST exist as either extension of
existing OAM or new mechanism/protocol. Whether it is included, used is
decision outside of the scope of the requirements document.

 

Regards,

Greg

Hi,

 

I have few minor comments on the draft.

 

NVO3 Reference model should be updated to show operator deployment(s) where
L2 and L3 NVE are distributed across nodes and so to verify tenant end
system to tenant end system path require de-encap and re-encap of traffic in
middle nve if l3 routing is required.

 

In Reference Diagram we should also highlight L3 Network can be of multiple
types and in case of ip, it can be ip unumbered which makes traceroute not
even identifying ingress interface as all interfaces share the same ip.

 

Another Area requirement clarification should be done is that NVE if they
are deployed with Distributed Anycast Gateway and EVPN, Tenant End system
traceroute doesn't provide any relevant information and this problem also
need to be solved.

 

Path MTU is also very important requirement and we should also address it as
part of OAM requirement also.

 

Again these requirement(s) should be May as they are not applicable for all
scenarios.

 

Thanks,

Deepak
