 It's a known problem since at least seven years.  Given that the
 problem is labelled as a security issue there would have to be some
 changes to the specification at some point.  There were design
 decisions to implement the specification and the code has been
 deployed.  The proposed outbound change is one sentence.  The code
 change to implement that one sentence requires reviewing some
 implementation decisions (re. encapsulation, etc.).  Please note that I
 am not arguing for or against a change in the RFC 2119 key words.  The
 write-up only mentions that the draft has been implemented on stateless
 firewalls.  I am curious about whether there are any implementations
 for a host.

Is there a way to decouple this discussion from 
draft-ietf-6man-oversized-header-chain? I would be glad to discuss it in the 
context of a separate draft.

  So, it wasn't necessarily the case that 1280 was a product of
  thoughtful analysis so much as the fact that **they were rushing to
  get a spec out the door**. So now, 16 years later, we get to put it
  back on the 6man charter milestone list.
 
 We could have that discussion in 6man, sure, but I don't believe that
 it's relevant to the question of whether draft-ietf-6man-oversized-
 header-chain
 is ready. This draft mitigates a known problem in terms of the current
 IPv6 standards.

 Fred,
 
  Hi, I would like to make a small amendment to what I said in my
  previous message as follows:
 
  4) Section 5, change the final paragraph to:
 
As a result of the above mentioned requirements, a packet's header
chain length MUST fit within the Path MTU associated with its
destination.  Hosts MAY discover the Path MTU, using procedures
 such
as those defined in [RFC1981] and [RFC4821]. However, if a host
 does
not discover the Path MTU, it MUST assume the IPv6 minumum MTU of
1280 bytes [RFC2460]. The host MUST then limit each packet's header
chain length to the Path MTU minus 256 bytes in case additional
encapsulation headers are inserted by tunnels on the path.
 
 I would claim that additional encapsulation headers are already
 considered in the 1280 minimum MTU.
 as in: 1500 - 1280.
 
 cheers,
 Ole




Last Call: draft-ietf-lisp-deployment-08.txt (LISP Network Element Deployment Considerations) to Informational RFC

2013-07-01 Thread Ronald Bonica
Folks,

In keeping with the WG Charter, draft-ietf-lisp-deployment should be labeled 
EXPERIMENTAL, not INFORMATIONAL. For supporting information, please see the 
following milestone in the LISP Charter:

- Sep 2012  Submit a deployment model document to the IESG for publication 
as an Experimental RFC

Also in keeping with the LISP charter, draft-ietf-lisp-deployment should 
include the following disclaimer, which is taken from RFC 6830:

-  This experimental specification has areas that require additional experience 
and measurement.  It is NOT RECOMMENDED for deployment beyond experimental 
situations.  Results of experimentation may lead to modifications and 
enhancements of protocol mechanisms defined in this document.  See Section 15 
[of RFC 6830] for specific, known issues that are in need of further work 
during development, implementation, and experimentation.

I say this because of the following text, taken from the LISP WG Charter:

- The specifications developed by the WG are Experimental and labeled with 
accurate disclaimers about their limitations and not fully understood 
implications for Internet traffic. In addition, as these issues are understood, 
the working group will analyze and document the implications of LISP on 
Internet traffic, applications, routers, and security.

  Abstract
 
 
 This memo instructs IANA to restructure its IPv4 and IPv6 Special-
 Purpose Address Registries.  Upon restructuring, the
 aforementioned
 registries will record all special-purpose address blocks,
 maintaining a common set of information regarding each address
 block.
 
 This memo updates RFC 5736 and RFC 4773, which define the current
 structure of the IPv4 and IPv6 Special-Purpose Address Registries.
 It also obsoletes RFC 5735 and RFC 5156 which document special-
 purpose address blocks that are not currently, but will in the
 future, be recorded in the IPv4 and IPv6 Special-Purpose Address
 Registries.

 really worry that this document will be used to justtify strange
 brokenness.
 
 from my 2012.11.29 message:
 
  are the following definitions
 
 o  Routable - A boolean value indicating whether a IP datagram
 whose
destination address is drawn from the allocated special-purpose
address block is routable (i.e., may traverse more than a
 single
IP interface)
 
 o  Global - A boolean value indicating whether a IP datagram whose
destination address is drawn from the allocated special-purpose
address block is routable beyond a specified administrative
domain.
 
  intended to be baked in hardware, or are they SHOULDs to operators?
 i
  look at RFC 1918 space and 127.0.0.0/8 and am not so sure how hard
  these boundaries are meant to be.  i worry because i think we regret
  how we specified (threw away is more like it) E space.
 
  does the prefix describes a specific prefix length or a covering
 range?
 
  e.g. 192.0.0.0/24 is neither routable nor global, while a subnet,
  192.0.0.0/29, is routable.  i.e. might i route and forward
  192.0.0.128/25?
 
 another annoying example.
 
 0.0.0.0/8 is said to be not routable, yet we commonly announce it in
 bgp (or igp) and propagate it.  a protocol implmentor reading this
 document would be justified in preventing the injection of 0.0.0.0/8
 into a routing protocol.  [ let's not get into that it is commonly in

  Currently, there is nothing in draft-bonica that distinguishes

 If we were to continue with this draft, we would have to add a field

 make clear that that field, and only that field, determines whether an

  Randy, Geoff, have I restated the problem accurately?
 
 
 
 I'd use the opposite terminology. e.g.:
 
   - I regard 0.0.0.0/8 as a reservation, and should be baked into IP
 stacks
 
   - I regard 192.88.99.0/24 as a special purpose assignment and is
 configurable by IP stacks.
 
 In IPv4 my understanding of the current set of reservations are:
 
   0.0.0.0/8
   127.0.0.0/8
   169.254.0.0/16
   224.0.0.0/4
   240.0.0.0/4
 
 All others I would see as being special purpose assignments, given that
 they do not require special baked-in treatment by IP stacks.
 
 My personal preference would be to:
 
 --  record all special purpose assignments in a special purpose
 assignment registry, such as http://www.iana.org/assignments/iana-ipv4-
 special-registry/iana-ipv4-special-registry.xml for Ipv4
 
 
 -- record all reservations in the address protocol registry, such as

 Starting IETF Last Call seems premature for this document.
 (Perhaps there was some slip of the keyboard somewhere ??)
 
 
 1) Conflicts with active work items of the IPv6 WG
 
 This I-D has the effect of over-riding parts of the standards-track
 IPv6 specifications (e.g. by making currently valid/legal (if unusual)
 IPv6 packets illegal and instructing RA-Guard implementations to drop
 such currently valid/legal IPv6 packets).
 
 My understanding is that the 2 proposals to update the
 IPv6 specifications (directly related to this document) are current
 work items of the IETF 6MAN WG, but (as near as I can tell) those
 documents have not even begun WG Last Call within the IPv6 WG.
 
 
 
 2) Previously agreed document edits are not present
in the document version referenced by the IESG
announcement.
 
 Prior discussion with the document author, both on the v6ops mailing
 list (e.g. various notes in June 2012, e.g.,
 http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/v6ops/current/msg13258.html)
 and also off-list, indicated that he had agreed to move the relevant
 IPv6 protocol update documents from Informative
 references to Normative references, specifically the
 draft-ietf-6man-* versions of these 2 references of the IESG cited
 document:
 
[I-D.gont-6man-oversized-header-chain]
   Gont, F. and V. Manral, Security and Interoperability
   Implications of Oversized IPv6 Header Chains,
   draft-gont-6man-oversized-header-chain-01 (work in

[I-D.gont-6man-nd-extension-headers]
   Gont, F., Security Implications of the Use of IPv6
   Extension Headers with IPv6 Neighbor Discovery,
   draft-gont-6man-nd-extension-headers-02 (work in
   progress), January 2012.
 
 
 
 3) Email from document author indicates this document
will be updated soon.
 
 Separately, overnight private email from the author (received by me
 prior to my receipt of this IESG announcement) indicates that an update
 to draft-ietf-v6ops-ra-guard-implementation is imminent.  The pending
 update apparently resolves issue (2) above.
 
 
 So it seems to me that this document is not yet ready for IETF Last
 Call.  Instead, it seems to me that the pending I-D update needs to
 occur, a (hopefully quick) review of that revision within IETF v6ops WG
 then needs to occur, and (ideally in parallel) IETF 6MAN WG review (and
 ideally approval) of the proposed changes to the IPv6 specifications
 needs to occur.
 
 
 LAST)
 
 In the (one hopes unlikely) event that the 6MAN WG is NOT comfortable
 with the 2 directly-related proposed IPv6 specification updates, then
 this document ought not be published on the IETF standards-track, on
 grounds that it specifies packet dropping behaviour inconsistent with
 the extant IPv6 specifications.

 In Section 3:
 
A Service Provider can number the interfaces in question from

 solution poses the fewest problems, it is impractical because
 globally unique IPv4 address space is in short supply.
 
 Unique IPv4 address space is not in short supply in some regions.  If
 it is globally in short supply, I gather that several regions have
 already reached their IPv4 Exhaustion phase.  I haven't seen any

While the Regional Internet Registries (RIR) have enough address
 space to allocate a single /10 to be shared by all Service
 Providers,
 they do not have enough address space to make a unique assignment
 to
 each Service Provider.
 
 The above is incorrect as RIRs are still providing unique IPv4
 assignments to service providers that request IPv4 addresses.  On
 reading this draft, I conclude that as IPv4 addresses are nearly
 exhausted, the only option left is to deploy Carrier Grade NAT

2011-12-03 Thread Ronald Bonica
Folks,

On Thursday, December 1, the IESG deferred its decision regarding 
draft-weil-shared-transition-space-request to the December 15 telechat. The 
decision was deferred because:

- it is difficult. (We are choosing between the lesser of two evils.)
- a lively discussion on this mailing list has not yet converged

Several topic have become intertwined in the mailing list discussion, making it 
difficult to gauge community consensus. Further discussion of the following 
topics would help the IESG to gauge consensus:

- Is the reserved /10 required for the deployment of CGN?

- What is the effect of burning 4 million IPv4 addresses on the exhaustion of 
IPv4?

- Can alternative /10s be used?

By contrast, further discussion of the following topics would not help the IESG 
gauge consensus:

- Does the assignment of the requested /10 enable or hinder the deployment of 
IPv6?

- Is CGN a viable service model for IPv4?

- Can the deployment of CGN be prevented by not assigning Shared CGN address 
space?

- How many ISPs really want this assignment and how many don't care because 
they don't need it?

Further discussion of these questions is not helpful to us because we are 
deliberating over an address allocation, not the deployment of CGN/NAT444. 
Operators have already announced their intention to deploy. At least for the 
purposes of the current deliberation, we must assume that CGN/NAT444 will be 
deployed and concentrate on whether to allocate a /10 to facilitate its 
deployment.
Ron
Speaking as AD, 
  But not on behalf 
of the IESG

RE: Consensus Call: draft-weil-shared-transition-space-request

2011-12-01 Thread Ronald Bonica
Ted, your response does not address what I said at all. Not one bit. Let's 
assume that *every* enterprise used every last address of 172.16/12 (and, for 
that matter ever bit of 1918 space). That's irrelevant and still does not 
address my question. The question is whether these addresses are used BY 
EQUIPMENT THAT CAN'T NAT TO IDENTICAL ADDRESSES ON THE EXTERIOR INTERFACE. I am 
happy to accept an answer of, Yes, all 1918 address space is used by such 
equipment, but nobody, including you, has actually said that.





I suspect that is because it is impossible to know for sure.

The message that you reference below, as well as many other messages,  were in 
response to a an August 19 Last call regarding 
draft-weil-shared-transition-space-request-03. Many of the problems pointed out 
in that last call were addressed between versions 03 and 09 of the document. 
However, many were not. Therefore, I summarized what I believed to be the

Consensus Call: draft-weil-shared-transition-space-request

2011-11-28 Thread Ronald Bonica
On October 10, 2011, the IESG issued a last call for comments regarding 
draft-weil-shared-transition-space-request-09 (IANA Reserved IPv4 Prefix for 
Shared CGN Space). While the community did not display consensus supporting the 
draft, it also did not display consensus against the draft. Therefore, I will 
submit the draft to the full IESG for its consideration at its December 1 
teleconference. The draft will be published as a BCP if a sufficient number of 
IESG members ballot Yes or No Objection, and if no IESG member ballots 
Discuss.

Because the decision to submit this draft to the full IESG is controversial, I 
will explain the decision making process.

The IETF has a precedent for interpreting silence as consent. Typically, if a 
last call elicits no response, the draft is brought to the full IESG for 
consideration. The October 10 last call regarding 
draft-weil-shared-transition-space-request-09 evoked only two responses. One 
response supported publication of the draft while the other was opposed to it. 
The respondent voicing support for the draft offered no rationale. The 
respondent objecting offered many editorial comments, but almost no rationale 
for blocking the draft once the editorial comments are addressed.

Because the October 10 last call elicited so little response, and because many 
community members have privately expressed strong opinions regarding this 
draft, I will summarize outstanding issues below. The following are arguments 
*against* draft-weil-shared-transition-space-request:

- Allocation of a special-use /10 does not hasten the deployment of IPv6. It 
only extends the life of the IPv4 network.
- If a special-use /10 is allocated, it will be used as additional RFC 1918 
address space, despite a specific prohibition against such use stated by the 
draft.
- If a special-use /10 is allocated, it will encourage others to request still 
more special-use address space.
- Some applications will break. These applications share the characteristic of 
assuming that an interface is globally reachable if it is numbered by an 
non-RFC 1918 address. To date, the only application that has been identified as 
breaking is 6to4, but others may be identified in the future.

Arguments *supporting* draft-weil-shared-transition-space-request-09 assume 
that operators will deploy CGNs and will number the interfaces between CGN and 
CPE. If the /10 proposed by draft-weil-shared-transition-space-request is not 
allocated, operators will number from one of the following:

- public address space 
- RFC 1918 address space
- squat space

If operators number from public address space, they will deplete an already 
scarce resource. If operators number from RFC 1918 space and the same RFC 1918 
space is used on the customer premise, some CPE will behave badly. The 
consequences of numbering from squat space are determined by the squat space 
that is chosen.

In summary, allocation of the /10 will have certain adverse effects upon the 
community. However, failure to allocate the /10 will have different adverse 
effects on the community. The IESG is being asked to choose the lesser of two 
evils.

On one hand, most of these RFCs do not harm the Internet. However, if we don't 
clean house periodically, we are left with the following questions:

1) In the future, does the IETF have the latitude to do things that might break 
these old protocols?
2) If not, must the IETF maintain a cadre of people who are familiar with these 
old protocols to ensure that they are not broken?
3) If we don't maintain a cadre of people familiar with these RFCs, how should 
the community react to errata against them?

Brian,

Does the following text work for you?

 Ron


N. Meaning of HISTORIC

For the purposes of this document, the term HISTORIC means:

- 6-to-4 should not be configured by default on any implementation (host, cpe 
router, other)

- Vendors will decide which future versions of their products will support 
6-to-4. It is assumed that vendors will continue to support 6-to-4 until a) 
they are no longer economically incented to do so and b) they are economically 
incented to remove unused features from their products.

- Operators will decide when to decommission 6-to-4 relays, if ever. It is 
assumed that operators will continue to operate 6-to-4 relays as long as they 
are economically incented to do so. When 6-to-4 traffic levels reach zero, 
operators will probably begin to consider decommissioning.

The status of RFCs 3056 and 3068 should not be interpreted as a recommendation 
to remove 6-to-4 at any particular time.

  This is, of course, an undeniable statement of fact (as it is for any
 other feature
  of the Internet). However, it needs to be made clear that doing so
 *prematurely*
  would penalise existing successful users of those relays, and
 therefore it should
  only be done when there is no successful traffic through them. Which
 is when any
  operator would remove them anyway.
 
  Therefore, I don't see much value in this statement, and possible
 harm to users.
  The ways to avoid such harm as far as possible are already in the RFC

  RFC 2026's very terse definition of HISTORIC. According to RFC
 2026,
  A specification that has been superseded by a more recent
  specification or is for any other reason considered to be
 obsolete
  is assigned to the Historic level. That's the entire definition.
  Anything more is read into it.
  ...
  A more likely interpretation is as follows:
  the IETF is not likely to invest effort in the technology in the
  future
  the IETF does not encourage (or discourage) new deployments of
 this
  technology.
 
 But in giving other interpretations, are you thereby not comitting the
 exact error you call out above: Anything more is read into it.?
 
 To me, Historic has always (including pre-2026) meant just what the
 orginal meaning of the word is (caveat - see below) - something that is
 now likely only of interest to people who are looking into the history
 of
 networking. (The dictionary definition is Based on or concerned with
 events in history.) I think obsolete is probably the best one-word
 description (and note that 'obsolete' != 'obsolescent').
 
 (Caveat: technically, it probably should have been 'historical', not
 historic - historic actually means 'in the past, but very
 noteworthy',
 e.g.  'CYCLADES was a historic networking design', so not every
 historical
 protocol is historic.)

RE: Another look at 6to4 (and other IPv6 transition issues)

2011-07-16 Thread Ronald Bonica
Hi John,

I think that most of the rancor around RFCs 3056 and 3068 is due to RFC 2026's 
very terse definition of HISTORIC. According to RFC 2026, A specification that 
has been superseded by a more recent specification or is for any other reason 
considered to be obsolete is assigned to the Historic level. That's the entire 
definition. Anything more is read into it.

Granted, the phrase for any other reason considered to be obsolete is pretty 
subjective. In this thread, I have seen people interpret that phrase as follows:

the IETF thinks that there are no longer any valid use cases for this 
technology
the IETF recommends that you remove this technology from your network
the IETF believes that nobody is using this technology

I doubt if any of these interpretations are valid, because the IETF is not in a 
good position to evaluate what is in use or tell an operator how to run a 
network. A more likely interpretation is as follows:

the IETF is not likely to invest effort in the technology in the future
the IETF does not encourage (or discourage) new deployments of this technology.

 They should naturally decline in popularity and in fact in the portions
 of the internet where we can measure them they are. Right now if we try

Noel,

I didn't say that I was going to push draft-ietf-v6ops-6to4-to-historic through 
without running the process. I said that draft-ietf-v6ops-6to4-to-historic has 
made it all the way past IESG approval. There is an appeal on the table (at the 
WG level) questioning whether draft-ietf-v6ops-6to4-to-historic ever had WG 
consensus. We will run the appeal process. If the WG chairs cannot justify WG 
consensus, draft-ietf-v6ops-6to4-to-historic stops dead in its tracks. If they 
can justify WG consensus, the appellant can escalate the appeal to the IESG 
(and to the IAB after that). If the appeal succeeds at any level, 
draft-ietf-v6ops-6to4-to-historic is not published.

You can't go ahead with draft-ietf-v6ops-6to4-to-historic if there is no
basic consensus in the IETF as a whole to do so - and your previous
declaration (on Saturday) basically accepted that there was no such basic
consensus (otherwise why withdraw the ID).

So now there is going to be a reversal, and the document is going to go ahead
- i.e. you must now be taking the position that there _is_ basic consensus in
the IETF (without which you could not proceed the ID).

The effect of this sort of thing on the reputation of I* should be obvious

RE: [v6ops] draft-ietf-v6ops-6to4-to-historic

2011-07-02 Thread Ronald Bonica
Lorenzo,

You pose very reasonable questions.  I will try to reiterate them:


1)  What are the criteria for determining consensus? What makes you think 
that there was no consensus on 6-to-4-historic?

2)  What makes you think that the new draft is just as good?

3)  What makes you think that the new draft will do any better than 
6-to-4-historic?

Responses follow:


1)  Because we do not vote in the IETF, the process for determining 
consensus is squishy. A simple majority does not win the day. A few strongly 
held objections backed by even a scintilla of technical rational can increase 
the size of the super-majority required to declare consensus. While it was not 
clear that the IETF has achieved consensus regarding 6-to-4-historic, it also 
was not clear that the IETF had not achieved consensus.  In this case, we had a 
choice between spending cycles arguing about consensus, or finding a solution 
that everybody could live with.

2)  IMHO, the new draft will not be as good as 6-to-4-historic. However, it 
solves the operational problem by disabling 6-to-4 by default. That's much 
better than nothing.

3)  I have been working behind the scenes with a few of those who objected 
to 6-to-4-historic. They didn't object to the new draft. However, I invite 
those people to speak for themselves.

threads on the subject in v6ops was that the opposition to 6to4-historic was a 
small but vocal minority, and I thought that qualified as rough consensus. But 
perhaps I missed some discussion.

Also, why do the author and the chairs think that the new draft will do any

2011-07-02 Thread Ronald Bonica
Randy,

You have three points that deserve to be addressed. These are:

1) as measured on the real internet, not the ietf bar, 6to4 sucks caterpillar 
snot
2) perhaps that minority was also vocal in the back room
3) yes, but that will be a year from now.  in the ietf, delay is one form of 
death

Responses follow:

1) While not stated so colorfully, draft-ietf-v6ops-6to4-advisory made this 
point. It has been approved for publication.
2) While there was no back-room activity, an appeal had been filed at the WG 
level. Since WG consensus was stronger than IETF consensus, it is reasonable to 
assume that the appeal would be escalated to the IESG level if it was not 
approved at the WG level. So, any way you look at it, there would be delays.
3) The new document may not take a year to publish. Since it is a short draft, 
it could be produced in a few days. Once it is produced, we could immediately 
initiate a WG last call and an IETF last call immediately after that. So, we 
might be talking about a six-week delay.

Now, I have a question for you, Lorenzo and Doug. If our goal is to take 6-to-4 
off of the Internet, does not disabling it by default solve most of the 
problem? AFAIKS, very few users would enable it and service providers would not 
be economically incented to support 6-to-4 relay routers. 

Comments?

Ron

   network operators have deployed many technologies that rely upon
   tunneling. These technologies include Pseudo-wires, Layer 2 Virtual
   Private Networks, and Layer 3 Virtual Private Networks. While the
  internet
   community has enhanced its forwarding plane diagnostic tool kit
 with
  the
   deployment of Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD), some
 suggest
  that
   the tool kit is still inadequate for tunneled applications.
  
   The purpose of this design session is to discover and document
   operational requirements and constraints for tunneled forwarding
  plane
   OAM. The design session will also entertain solution proposals.
   While
  most
   activity in this area has been associated with Multi-Protocol Label
   Switching (MPLS), session organizers also encourage generic
   proposals
  that
   include other tunneling mechanisms (e.g., IP-in-IP).
  
   The scope of this design session is limited to the forwarding
 plane.
   Proposals concerning control and management plane protocols will
 not
  be
   accepted. For example, a proposal that probes a tunnel for
   continuity would be acceptable, while a proposal for reporting
   tunnel continuity
  to a
   routing protocol or management station would be productive, but
  beyond the
   scope of this workshop.
  
   Those intending to make presentations must submit position papers
 to
  the
   IAB/IESG by September 24. Position papers should constitute one to
  five
   pages on the problem or solution space, with a particular emphasis
   on areas that the IETF should address or revisit. Evaluation of the
  position
   papers will be performed by a committee consisting of IESG and IAB
   members. A limited number of seats will be available for persons
 not
   presenting.
  
   Position papers will be made publicly available. On the basis of
 the

RE: IAB/IESG Joint Design Session on Forwarding Plane Operations, Administration and Maintenance

2010-08-27 Thread Ronald Bonica
Folks,

Several members of the MPLS-TP community have indicated that they will be in 
Washington, D.C. from October 25 to October 27. In order to reduce their travel 
expenses and time away from home, they have asked if we could move the IAB/IESG 
Joint Design Session on Forwarding Plane Operations, Administration and 
Maintenance to October 28-29, piggybacking on that conference. The conference 
would still be held at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia.

If everyone is happy with this move, I would be glad to accommodate it. If this 
move causes you any inconvenience, please email me, either on the list or 
privately by COB September 1.
