The European one.  All phone numbers on that page are in the Stockholm

Stockholm info

2009-04-15 Thread Ingemar Johansson S
Hi

Here some info that might be useful when you visit Stockholm. I don't claim it 
to be  the complete manual and others welcome to add info and correct where 
needed. 

Getting from Arlanda to the City:
There are a number of alternatives. If you want it cheap you take the bus and 
then the metro. If you take the taxi, make sure that you negotiate the price 
beforehand (the cost should be ~500SEK).
http://beta.stockholmtown.com/en/Travel/Tips/Getting-to-and-from-the-airports/

Public transportation:
Driving a car in Stockholm is almost as stupid as stupid can get. 
Unless you'll stay at a hotel out in the boondocks I would recommend that you 
use the public transportation. See 
http://www.sl.se/Templates/SubStart.aspx?id=1906
for info. Also you may consider the travel cards which will keep the 
transportation cost down.
See also http://beta.stockholmtown.com/en/Travel/In-Stockholm/ 

Stockholmskortet:
If you plan to see more that just the IETF-venue then you want to get 
Stockholmskortet 
http://beta.stockholmtown.com/en/Information/Buy--Order/The-Stockholm-card/
It will give you free admission to a whole bunch of attractions + free travel 
with the public transportation.

Taxi:
There are a lot of unregistered taxis in Stockholm, a friendly advice.. avoid 
them. 
http://beta.stockholmtown.com/en/Travel/In-Stockholm/taxi/2087

Pickpockets: 
Summer in Stockholm is high season for pickpockets who often like to operate in 
teams, so keep your wallet close. 


To see:
Well.. there are lots of things to see.. Stockholm is IMHO one of the more 
beautiful cities I have seen (alright some of the suburbs are really ugly). 
You shouldn't miss Vasamuseet, it hosts one of the worlds best preserved ships 
from the 17th century, BTW the ship sank almost immediately due to too much 
optimization:-). 
Djurgården and Skansen are waterholes for the locals. Skansen hosts a sort of 
compressed version of Sweden. As Stockholm is surrounded by water it is never 
wrong to go with one of the many boats. And please don't forget Gamla stan.

I have probably missed a lot but I believe that this is at least a start.

Yo Lars Good-morning, let me respond. Sure it is... let me amplify -

Don't the IETF standards processes require the development of two or 
more independent implementations of any given protocol specification and 
the associated interoperability testing to document that the suite runs 
as advertised in the specification? - I generally refer to that as IOT 
(Inter-Operability Testing). And for what its worth the IETF's mergence 
towards a leading edge standards process also reinforces the importance 
of that testing too by the way.


By comparison, in trailing edge standards processes the IOT is 
accomplished in the various implementations which are done in the 
industry. In leading edge models where there is genesis happening the 
testing would have to be included in the implementation of any 
prototypes of the stack or system and its operations.


This IMHO is the real issue with the worlds abuse of the IETF's 
processes - they seem to think that RFC's are standards and there are 
many here who use that to substantiate their technological advantage in 
their marketing, meaning that they derive financial value from 
misrepresenting this to the commercial community as well I think. The 
fix for that is to make RFC's unreliable for use as a protocol 
specification for anything other than a Standards Track effort as they 
should be - a Request For Comments rather than something the Trust's 
selling access to.


Todd Glassey
What we're talking about is describing attack vectors, potential 
countermeasures and the the impact (downsides) those countermeasures 
might come with. Implementors will need to decide for themselves if 
and how to apply any of these techniques to their stacks.
Which would be filed as a Use Case Document as a set lf BCP's for a 
protocol stanadard. This by the way is where the real value of the IETF 
comes in - in also telling people how to and how not to use these protocols.

course, being careful whether home or abroad is always a good idea.

Re: pickpockets

2009-04-15 Thread Theodore Tso
More personal comments, based on having lost a laptop to a two-man
team at the exit to the Brussels train station in the last two
months

I got hit upon arrival to the country, where I was badly jetlagged
after arriving early into London Heathrow, and then taking a
connecting flight to Brussels, and being badly short on sleep before
starting the travel in the first place.  So be especially vigilant on
that first day, when your defenses are down and if you are desperately
tired and/or jet lagged.

In my case, one of them slimed the back of my jacket with spit and a
what appeared to be mouthful of partially chewed sandwidch, and the
other one tried to sell me postcards while babbling in French and
pretending not to know English.  When you're tired, grumpy because the
train station is badly labelled and you're wondering whether you took
the right escalator or not, and are generally lost, it's ridiculously
easy for a pickpocket to overload you enough that while you thought
you should know better, you don't.

Other lessons learned/reinforced --- (1) back up your laptop before
leaving on an trip, (2) keep a backup copy of your presentation on a
USB stick stored separately in the luggage or on some system
accessible outside of your firewall, so you don't have to try to
regenerate it on the fly, (3) keep all sensitive information encrypted
at rest on your hard drive, (4) never, *ever* set down a shoulder bag
even under extreme provocation, (5) if something strange happens to
you, don't stop, don't turn, just keep walking briskly away.

Personally, my experience of Belgium was badly tarnished as a result
of being hit by pickpockets, and I'm not at all keen on wanting to go
back as a result.  So a word to the wise --- be careful out there
it really can happen to anyone, especially those who thought they were
knew how to be careful enough.

Now, I admit I'm describing a hypothetical and abstract scenario.  I

forwarded by the RG.


That's right.   But I think it's not an accident that this is a  
hypothetical scenario.   In reality, a scenario like this has been  
likely ever since wireless and wired network interfaces became  
standard on laptops.   And yet we don't have any real-life examples of  
problems that this has caused, which need solving.   To me, that seems  
like an indication that this is not a real operational problem.   That  
is, that the answer if two DHCP servers send the same client  
conflicting information on two different interfaces, that is a  
misconfiguration, and should be solved by correcting the  
misconfiguration is, in practice, the correct answer.


If it were not, we would be hearing about concrete, real-world  
scenarios of the type you describe, not about hypothetical ones.


I don't mean to minimize this issue - if in fact there is some future  
real-world scenario where this would be a serious problem, it would be  
good if we could anticipate it.   It might be profitable to consider  
analogies.


For instance, right now I have IPv6 set up at home.   Because IPv6  
isn't deployed at all in Tucson, the way I have this working is by  
tunneling.   Since there are two tunnel brokers offering service for  
people like me, and I am a bit adventurous, I have two tunnels.
Right now, every IPv6 packet I ever transmit goes out one of those  
tunnels, with the exception of packets destined for a specific net,  
for which I have defined a static route.


First of all, this scenario works just fine.   Both tunnels are  
configured as a default route - it just happens that Linux's route  
selection process always chooses the first one.   This algorithm would  
work poorly if one interface were preferable to the other, but since  
both are equivalent it's not a problem.


Second, though, why do I have a default route configured?   It's  
because I'm talking to a node on that network that will only answer if  
I use the source address of one of the tunnels; and will ignore any  
packets I send it with the other source address.   So in the case  
where there was a problem, I manually configured a workaround.


How could we automatically solve this problem?   Simple: any time we  
are initiating communication with a device on the network, and do not  
know that the communication is going to work, we simultaneously start  
the communication in every plausible way.   So suppose that there are  
two  records corresponding to the machine I want to talk to, and I  
have two global IP addresses.   I'm going to send four syn packets.
The first syn-ack I get back is the one I'm actually going to use -  
I'll send RST packets to the other three.


This is analogous to the solution Stuart Cheshire described a couple  
of IETFs ago to the problem of IPv6 causing connectivity problems  
instead of expanding connectivity opportunities - you can't prefer one  
solution over the other, because you have no basis for doing so, so  
you have to try all possible solutions and choose the one that works  
best.   My only extension, if it is one, is that I've added the source  
address to the matrix - I'm not sure Stuart mentioned that.


Now, how does this extend when we go to DHCP?   Suppose I have DNS  
resolver configurations from two DHCP servers.   I try both in  
parallel.   I can winnow it down a bit: since I received the DNS  
server information from one DHCP server on one interface, and the DNS  
server information from the other DHCP server on a different  
interface, I only have to try to query the DNS server using the source  
addresses of the interface on which that DNS server's configuration  
information was received.


But how do I do that if the device that has two interfaces is not the  
device originating the query, as is the case with the container  
option?   I think the answer is that I can't.   There is no heuristic  
that I can define that will always make the right choice, because the  
device receiving the container options has to make the choice for the  
client.


In DHCPv6, we could at least give the client a hint about what to do  
as follows:


Suppose that I am dual-homed.   I ask for, and get, a container option  
on both outward-facing interfaces.   I also wind up configuring one or  
more prefixes as a result of my communication with the DHCPv6 server  
on these two interfaces.   I wind up advertising prefixes to the  
client based on the answers that I get on both outward-facing  
interfaces, so for example if I get a single prefix delegation from  
each DHCPv6 server, I will advertise two prefixes to the client.   So

Re: [dhcwg] Gen-ART review of draft-ietf-dhc-container-00

2009-04-15 Thread Scott Brim
Excerpts from Ted Lemon on Tue, Apr 14, 2009 02:48:06PM -0700:
 I don't mean to minimize this issue - if in fact there is some
 future  real-world scenario where this would be a serious problem,
 it would be  good if we could anticipate it.   

I'm just saying the WG should make an explicit decision one way or
another:

  - decide the draft needs no change
  - document source info as TBD and outside of the container syntax
or
  - document source info as part of container syntax

RE: WG Review: Network-Based Mobility Extensions (netext)

2009-04-15 Thread Narayanan, Vidya
I think this charter requires some clarifications.  Since this is about 
extensions to NETLMM protocols, it should clarify what principles it inherits 
from the NETLMM charter.  For instance, one major thing that stands out is 
about no changes to the mobile node - I believe NETLMM's main value was seen as 
providing mobility without MN involvement and I don't believe we have consensus 
to allow any changes to the MN.  I think this charter should explicitly clarify 
that.  Other points worth clarifying are that the protocols that may be 
specified need to remain link layer agnostic and independent of a global 
mobility management mechanism that may be used with it.  

Cheers,
Vidya

 Description of Working Group:
 
 Proxy Mobile IPv6, specified in RFC 5213, is a network-based mobility
 protocol. It uses a Mobile Access Gateway (MAG) and a Local Mobility
 Anchor (LMA) to allow hosts to move around within a domain while
 keeping
 their address or address prefix stable. Proxy Mobile IPv6 has been
 incorporated into a number of products and deployments are starting.
 Certain deployment considerations, including localized routing and bulk
 refresh of lifetime are already emerging.
 
 The working group will focus on the following topics relevant for
 network-based mobility:
 
 Localized Routing: a specification for routing traffic between the
 MAG(s) without involving the LMA. That is, allow the MAGs to route
 traffic between hosts from one MAG to another, without being tunneled
 all the way to the LMA. This reduces latency and backhaul load.
 Applications such as voice can benefit from the reduced latency. Hosts
 are not affected, as they still send and receive their packets via the
 MAG.
 
 Bulk Refresh: a specification of improving the signaling load for
 binding lifetime refresh. The current specifications call for the
 handling of each mobility session independent of each other. When a
 large number of hosts are served by a single MAG, a periodic refresh of
 the binding lifetimes can lead to a signaling storm. The purpose of the
 Bulk Refresh feature is to construct a protocol feature that allows
 such
 refreshes to occur on a per-MAG basis.
 
 LMA Redirection: a specification for allowing an LMA to redirect a MAG
 to another LMA. This is primarily needed as a way to perform load
 balancing, and is complementary to the initial LMA discovery work in
 the
 NETLMM WG.
 
 The proposed activity will be complementary to the existing IETF
 Working
 Groups, notably the NETLMM and MEXT WGs. The NETEXT working group will
 also act as the primary forum where new extensions on top of the Proxy
 Mobile IPv6 protocol can be developed. The addition of such new
 extensions to the working group involves addition of the extension to
 this charter through the normal rechartering process.
