[alto] Agenda reshuffle

2018-07-15 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani
Folks: I have re-shuffled the agenda a bit to accommodate better flow.

The duration of time allocated to each item has not changed, but the
order of the item may have changed.  If you are planning on ducking in
and out of the ALTO WG, you may want to scan the reshuffled agenda.

Cheers,

All: The WGLC for draft-ietf-alto-incr-update-sse is now over.

Authors, please attend to the review comments by releasing a new version
that incorporates these.

We will move the document ahead when the new version becomes available.

Re: [alto] I-D Action: draft-ietf-alto-cost-calendar-06.txt

2018-07-09 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani
Jensen and Dawn have reviewed S6 and S7 of
draft-ietf-alto-cost-calendar-07.  Their review has not uncovered
substantive drawbacks of the text in these sections; the changes
requested by the authors are more editorial in nature.

Authors, please make a note of these editorial comments.

Therefore, based on this, I will go ahead and put -07 up for IESG review
with the expectation that these comments on S6 and S7 will be fixed with
whatever feedback we get from IESG for the draft.

Cheers,

2018-07-05 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani
All: The draft agenda has been uploaded for Montreal; please see
https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/102/materials/agenda-102-alto-00

We believe we have satisfied all requests that we received; please make
sure that if you sent Jan and me a request that it is reflected in the

Of course, the agenda is fluid, so expect it to change a bit as we

S6 and S7.

As soon as you post your reviews of these sections by Wed, we'll move
the work ahead, subject to what you find in your review, of course.

2018-07-02 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani
Kerim: Great, thanks a lot for volunteering.

Please post your review on the WG email list.

I suspect that you are getting acquainted with IETF processes; in that
vein, here's some quick advice that I hope will help you as you perform
a WGLC.

A WGLC covers the entire I-D, you can point out anything in the draft
that you feel needs to be improved.  Generally speaking, every reviewer
has their own style of performing WGLC reviews, you can see some
examples here [1, 2].  However, all reviews should include issues that
are 'major' (needs attention of author AND WG to moving the work ahead),
minor (may only need the attention of author to clarify things), and
'nits' (needs attention of authors only).  It is okay if one or more of
these categories is empty, however, due diligence must be done to ensure
that there were indeed no issues to raise under that particular category.

2018-07-02 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani
Sabine: Thank you for getting this out.  I was hoping that all nits
identified by IDNits tool will be taken care in this revision.
Unfortunately, IDNits reports three warnings for -06.  These need to be
eventually fixed, perhaps as part of Auth-48, etc.

But before I can send the draft to IESG, I need key members of the WG
who have reviewed previous versions of this draft to review the newly
added Security Considerations section.  You only need to review this
section, as previous versions of the draft were reviewed in their
entirety.  The new addition here is S6 (Security Considerations) and S7
(Operations Considerations).

Can I please request a subset of the following people to review S6 and S7:

   Yichen Qian, Li Geng, Dawn Chen, and Jensen Zhang

I will like at least two people from the above set to read S6 and S7 and
let the WG know whether the draft is ready to be moved out of the WG.

Please do so soon, preferably by Wed midnight (US Eastern).  The
sections are short, but your reading and feedback to the WG will be
invaluable.

Re: [alto] WGLC for draft-ietf-alto-incr-update-sse-11

2018-07-02 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani
Richard, one of them must provide a WGLC review for the draft.  The WG
must to due diligence through dedicated reviews to ensure that the work
reflects the consensus of the WG.

I will like to see new members to start contributing to the WG, as such
while my preference would be for Danny to review the draft and post WGLC
comments, I will leave it to the WG members to decide who will review it.

I was hesitant to ask Sabine and Jensen since, in all fairness, they
have done their share of reviews and comments over the years.  I
iterate, it would be great if other members of the WG step up to move
the work ahead.

>From a process point of view, I realize that the cutoff is today so I am
expecting that we will not be in time to submit a version.  However,
that is fine as long as we have a WGLC on the currently submitted draft
by the time we have our meeting on Monday, Jul-16.

After the meeting, I can do the proto-writeup and move the work ahead.

Cheers,

Re: [alto] WGLC for draft-ietf-alto-incr-update-sse-11

2018-07-02 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani
Folks: Following up on Richard's email, we need a dedicated WGLC review
for SSE from the WG.  Jan and I will like to invite at least one person
who is not an author to volunteer to review the draft as part of WGLC.

Thus far, besides Richard's email, there has not been any review or
comments on the draft since it was released for WGLC.  We will need to
be more proactive as a WG to move pending work ahead.

Please send me and Jan a message on whether you are able to perform a
review of the draft in short order so we can move it ahead expeditiously.

Thank you,

[alto] Proto writeup for cost-calendar

2018-06-20 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani
All: Here is the proto-writeup for cost-calendar.

There are a couple of problems with the draft that will require a new
version.  Primary among them is the lack of a security consideration
section.  I have asked the authors to add one, and as soon as the new
version becomes available, I will request that the reviewers named in
the proto writeup please review the security consideration section.

Here is the proto writeup.

ALTO Cost Calendar
draft-ietf-alto-cost-calendar-04
Shepherd: Vijay K. Gurbani 

1. Summary

The document shepherd is Vijay K. Gurbani. The responsible Area Director is
Mirja Kuehlwind.

This document is an extension to the base ALTO protocol (RFC 7785).  It
extends the ALTO cost information service such that applications decide
not only 'where' to connect, but also 'when'.  This is useful for
applications
that need to perform bulk data transfer and would like to schedule these
transfers during an off-peak hour, for example.

This document is targeted as a Standards Track document (Proposed Standard).
This designation is appropriate as the document contains normative behaviour
and message formats that should be adhered to by the communicating entities
in order to realize the extension.

2. Review and Consensus

Cost calendar is a well-know extension within the working group, having been
first presented as an individual document on Jul 4, 2014 (individual -00
version).  It was subsequently adopted as WG item on Jul 28, 2016.

The work has been reviewed by at least four key WG members in the past.
Version -01 was reviewed on Jun 29, 2017 by Yichen Qian and Li Geng; version
-02 was reviewed by Dawn Chen on Jul 12, 2017 and by Jensen Zhang on Dec 02,
2017.  A WGLC was held on Feb 22, 2018.

There is one known implementation, authored by the editor of the draft.
The work has been discussed extensively in the WG over the years, and the
WG feels that the document is ready to be moved out of the group and into
IESG.

3. Intellectual Property

3/5 of the author team has confirmed conformance with BCP 78/79 with the
shepherd.  The shepherd is waiting for the remaining 2/5.

There are no IPR disclosures on the document.

4. Other Points




Cheers,

Dawn: Does the version of SSE submitted to the IETF archives reflect the
consensus achieved in [1]?

If not, I would kindly urge you to spin a new version of SSE with this
consensus in it.  I will like that version to go to WGLC so that list
members get another opportunity to comment on it.

Please do so as soon as you can, preferably within a 24-hour period if
possible.  I will start a WGLC for the new version as soon as it becomes
available.

Richard, Dawn: As per [1], we need to move SSE ahead.

Since the posting of [1], there has been some discussion on the
remaining open issue with SSE; this discussion is captured in [2].

So, I think it is time to move the work ahead with the consensus reached
in [2].

Please issue a new version of the SSE draft by Monday.  As soon as it

Re: [alto] Remaining issue of SSE

2018-06-08 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani
[... As individual ...]

Dawn: I prefer option 2 for the following reasons:

a) The "remove" request is sent through the update stream control
 service, therefore it seems appropriate (and expected) to send a
 response through the update stream control service as well.

b) I would rather not conflate the responses at the HTTP layer with the
 responses that are pertinent to the entities processing the HTTP
 bodies.  Responses at the HTTP layer are needed to satisfy the HTTP
 state machinery.  Yes, they can act as hints to the entity processing
 the HTTP body, but my philosophy in protocol design is to be as
 explicit as possible.  Such explicitness calls out for each layer to
 be responsible for its transactions instead of inferring the state of
 a transaction by some exogenous means.

 Doing so may be a bit redundant, but decreases the ambiguity that is
 the bane of protocol design, IMHO.

[alto] Need to move SSE to WGLC, but ...

2018-06-08 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani
Folks: Jan and I would like to move SSE [1] to WGLC.

Looking at the mailing list, we note that the authors are asking input
from the WG on an issue in SSE [2].

We would kindly request the WG to spend some time thinking about the
question being asked in [2] and to chime in with some thoughts.

Assuming that there is no response by next week on this, the authors can
proceed with their default position on this, for which they have an
articulated reason in [2].

Jan and I will follow up next week and if there has not been any further
list discussion on this, we will move the work ahead to WGLC.

[alto] WGLC for draft-ietf-alto-xdom-disc-02

2018-04-16 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani
All: Pursuant to the discussion at the London IETF (minutes soon to
be made available), it was decided to move ALTO XDOM [1] for WGLC.

Sebastian submitted a new version on Mar-05-2018 [2]; the main changes
are that the Introduction (S1) has been shortened and the procedure
specification section (S2) has been revised for clarity.

The chairs and the authors believe that the document is ready for WGLC.

As such, we will like to open up a WGLC for draft-ietf-alto-xdom-disc-02
starting from Tue, Apr 17 2018 to Tue, May 01 2018.  We will like the
community members to perform an in-depth review of the draft and post
their comments, concerns or approval to the mailing list during this
period.

Re: [alto] SSE final touches

2018-03-18 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani
I think that is a wise decision.  One can continue adding bits and
pieces to the protocol ad infinitum.  Best to get what we have out
and let the implementations and needs then guide us towards whether
multipart update will serve a substantive community.  If it does,
I suspect that willing hands will rise to scratch that particular
itch.

>From my understanding, nothing is preventing the update of multiple
objects, just that with the current constructs, they have to be done
serially instead of in parallel.

[alto] WGLC for draft-ietf-alto-cost-calendar-03 period over

2018-03-17 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani
Folks: The WGLC for draft-ietf-alto-cost-calendar-03 was started on Feb
22 and ended on Mar 4.

While there was no list discussion on the group during the WGLC, we (the
chairs) the chairs suspect that this is due to the maturity of the
draft, and the fact that it has been closely reviewed in the past by key
WG members.  As such, we will move the work ahead.

If anyone has any questions or comments that they want to raise on the
draft, this will be a good time.  After the London IETF we will proceed
with the logistics associated with moving the work out of the WG and
onto the AD's plate.

Folks: Thank you for your patience as we got the agenda ready.

A draft agenda has been posted at [1] for the London IETF.  Jan and I
believe we satisfied all of the agenda requests that were submitted.
Please eyeball the agenda and let us know of any irregularities.

See you in London!

Re: [alto] unified-props, cellular addresses and path-vector

2018-02-26 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani
[As co-chair]

Sabine, Richard: If you decide to proceed as you outline below, then
please realize that time is of essence.

[As individual contributor]

I am a bit confused by this discussion though.  Are cellular addresses
ALTO address types?  In which case they will have to be registered in
the ALTO Address Type Registry as detailed in Section 14.4 of the base
ALTO RFC [1].

Or are cellular address ALTO entities?  In which case they will have to
be registered through unified-props registry in Section 9.2 of the
unified-props document [2]?

Why do we have legacy identifiers like 'ipv4' and 'ipv6' being
registered in two registries, i.e., in the registries of [1] and [2]?

In fact, why do we have a ALTO Entity Domain Registry in [2] at all?

I am afraid I am missing something ... can you please elaborate?

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-alto-unified-props-new-01#section-9.2

[alto] unified-props, cellular addresses and path-vector

2018-02-22 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani
All: In preparation for moving the unified property draft [0] ahead, the
minutes of the December 2017 Virtual Interim Meeting [1] indicate that
the chairs seek answers to the following questions from the WG:

(1) Are cellular addresses an important abstraction that the working
 group will like to introduce in ALTO?  Currently, cellular address
 format is specified in a companion draft [2].

(2) If yes, is the unified-props-new draft the correct place to add the
 cellular representation?

Please note that the unified property draft [0] gates path-vector [3],
as there is a dependency of path-vector on unified-props.  Thus, the
plan is to move these two drafts ahead as a bundle.

Which means that we need to reach a conclusion on the questions posed
above so unified-props and path-vector can move ahead.

Please express an substantive opinion on the above questions in the
mailing list.

[alto] WGLC for draft-ietf-alto-cost-calendar-03

2018-02-22 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani
All: This email starts the process of WGLC for the cost calendar work
[1].

As the minutes of the December 2017 ALTO Virtual Interim meeting [2]
reflect, the chairs were to ratify the decision to go to WGLC on the
list and move the work ahead.

Consequently, please consider this email as a aggregated ratification
and WGLC notice.  If a WG community member does not agree to such
ratification of the work to go to WGLC, please let the WG know during
the WGLC period established below.

The WGLC period runs from Thu, Feb 22 2018 to Sun, March 4, 2018.

The work has been reviewed by key WG members (Jensen and Dawn) in the
past.  The chairs believe that the work is mature and ready to be moved
ahead.

The chairs would like to solicit further comments from the WG community
on this work as part of the WGLC process.  Please read the draft [1] and
provide any comments to the author in preparation for a revision of the
draft post-WGLC that will close any open editorial issues as well.

Thank you,

[alto] No meeting at IETF 100

2017-09-25 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani
Folks, as you may have seen from the mailing list, we are not planning
to have a face-to-face meeting at IETF 100.

Jan and I are, however, planning to solicit information from the WG on
whether it wants to meet for a virtual meeting sometimes before the
November IETF meeting.

We will sync up and present some candidate dates next week and decide
next steps for the virtual meeting.  Please stay tuned.

Re: [alto] A virtual session at IETF 100?

2017-09-25 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani
Qiao, a virtual meeting is not tied to a physical one.  We can schedule
a virtual meeting anytime that the group agrees on, and we use
Meetecho/WebEx to hold the virtual meeting from the comfort of our homes
and offices.

So, yes, we are not holding a physical meeting at IETF 100.

Jan and I will circle back to the mailing list with a poll for if and
when to hold a virtual meeting.

Re: [alto] Some comments on draft-ietf-alto-incr-update-sse-07

2017-07-24 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani
Lyle, all: Correct; I believe W3C SSE is the right choice here.

Many moons ago, when we were all very young (okay, ~3.5 years ago, but
we were still younger), there were other contenders; websockets comes to
mind [1].  But as the work progressed, it made sense to stick with W3C
SSE.

Dawn: A decision was made during the Chicago IETF [1] to adopt
draft-roome-alto-unified-props-new as a WG item.  As such, I am not
sure why an individual version has been submitted as a revision to the
IETF archives.

Can you kindly resubmit the draft as

draft submission is raised.

I am afraid that the request was submitted fairly late, and as such, the
agenda is really full.  However, since this is a WG chartered item, I
will try to accommodate the draft.  The most I will be able to do is a 5

[alto] Agenda requests

2017-07-07 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani
Folks: So far, Jan and I have received only one agenda request for the
Prague IETF (from Qiao Xiang).  If we are mistaken, please do let us
know.

The deadline for a draft agenda to be uploaded was earlier this week on
Wednesday.  The deadline for a revised agenda is Monday.

Can you please send me and Jan a note asking for an agenda slot if you
are interested in presenting work in Prague.  As usual, preference will
be given to chartered working group items that have witnessed a
substantive discussion on the mailing list.  Leftover time will be
allocated to new, non-chartered work.

Please send me and Jan the information in the following format:

Name of presenter
Length of presentation
Associated drafts

Please do so before Monday.

Thank you,

[alto] Adopting draft-seedorf-cdni-request-routing-alto

2017-04-26 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani
Folks: With respect to the call for adoption [1] sent out to ratify the
face-to-face meeting hum on adopting
draft-seedorf-cdni-request-routing-alto; this email serves as a
confirmation of adoption.

The list archive does not show anyone opposing the adoption.

Thus, Jan (as co-chair) and I would like to offer the draft authors the
opportunity to submit an appropriately named draft to the ALTO WG as a
WG item.  (The old name of the draft reflects its roots in the cdni WG.)

Authors: Please do so as soon as possible to move the work ahead.

[alto] NomCom 2016-2017: Call for Nominations

2016-08-31 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani

The 2016-17 Nominating Committee (Nomcom) is seeking nominations from
now until October 8, 2016. The open positions being considered by this
year's Nomcom can be found at the end of this email and also on this
year's Nomcom website:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/nomcom/2016/

Nominations may be made by selecting the Nominate link at the top of
the Nomcom 2016 home page, or by visiting the following URL:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/nomcom/2016/nominate/

  {Note that nominations made using the web tool require an ietf.org
   datatracker account. You can create a datatracker ietf.org account
   if you don't have one already by visiting the following URL:
   https://datatracker.ietf.org/accounts/create/ }

If you are unable to use the web form, nominations may instead be made
by email to nomcom...@ietf.org. If using email, please include the word
"Nominate" in the Subject and indicate in the email who is being
nominated, their email address (to confirm acceptance of the
nomination), and the position for which you are making the nomination.
If you are nominating someone other than yourself, please tell us if
we may tell the nominee that you were the one who made the nomination.
If you wish to nominate someone via email for more than one position,
please use separate emails to do so.

Self-nomination is welcome!

Willing nominees will be asked to fill out a questionnaire
specific to the position for which they are nominated.  The questionnaires
will be available on September 2, 2016 and have a submission deadline of
October 13, 2016.

NomCom 2016-17 will follow the policy for "Open Disclosure of Willing
Nominees" described in BCP 10/RFC 7437.  As stated in RFC 7437: "The
list of nominees willing to be considered for positions under review
in the current Nomcom cycle is not confidential". Willing nominees for
each position will be listed in a publicly accessible way - anyone
with a datatracker account may access the lists.  Additionally, the
nomination form asks if we may share your own name with the
nominee. In all other ways, the confidentiality requirements of BCP10
remain in effect.  All feedback and all Nomcom deliberations will
remain confidential and will not be disclosed.

There is a field on the form you can mark in order to allow the Nomcom
to tell the nominee that you were the one who made the
nomination. This defaults to “no” - so if you don't mark the field
we won’t tell.

In order to ensure time to collect sufficient community feedback about
each of the willing nominees, nominations must be received by the
NomCom on or before October 8, 2016.

Please submit your nominations as early as possible for the sake of
your nominees. Note that nominations should not wait for management
permission, as it is easier to decline the nomination than put one in
late.

The Nomcom appoints individuals to fill the open slots on the IAOC,
the IAB, and the IESG. The list of people and posts whose terms end
with the March 2017 IETF meeting, and thus the positions for which
this Nomcom is responsible, follows:

IAOC

Lou Berger

IAB

Ralph Droms*
Russ Housley*
Robert Sparks
Andrew Sullivan
Dave Thaler*
Suzanne Woolf

IESG

Jari Arkko (GEN)*
Deborah Brungard (RTG)
Ben Campbell (ART)
Spencer Dawkins (TSV)
Stephen Farrell (SEC)*
Joel Jaeggli (OPS)*
Terry Manderson (INT)
Alvaro Retana (RTG)

*- have indicated that they do not intend to accept a
renomination. This information is always up to date on
https://datatracker.ietf.org/nomcom/2016/

Please be resourceful in identifying possible candidates for these
positions, as developing our talent is a very crucial requirement for
the IETF, and also, please consider accepting a nomination.  You'll
find extensive information about specific positions, developed by the
IAB, IESG, and IAOC, under individual tabs at:

  https://datatracker.ietf.org/nomcom/2016/requirements/

In addition to nominations, the Nomcom seeks community input on the
positions themselves.  We need and welcome the community's views and
input on the jobs within each organization. If you have ideas on the
positions' responsibilities (more, less, different), please let us
know.

Please send suggestions and feedback about this to nomcom...@ietf.org.

Thank you for your help in identifying qualified nominees!

[alto] Graph representation format deliverable as WG item

2016-08-26 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani

Authors: Pursuant to the call for adoption issued on the mailing list
[1] on Aug-01-2016 for a pair of documents to be considered as the
deliverable for the graph representation charter item, it appears that
there is strong support (as expressed on the mailing list) for doing so.

However, things remain unclear still as to the path the authors propose
to take to see the individual drafts adopted into one or more WG items
(please see [1] as well).

The chairs ask the authors to please shed some clarity on this and
prepare to submit the revised draft (or drafts) as WG -00 item(s).
This should be done preferably sooner rather than later.

[alto] Submitting draft-wu-alto-te-metrics as a WG item

2016-08-26 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani

Authors: Pursuant to the call for adoption for draft-wu-alto-
te-metrics  as a WG item issued on the mailing list [1] on
Jul-28-2016, it appears that there is strong support (as expressed on
the mailing list) for doing so.

In the call for adoption [1], the chairs raised a couple of issues that
should be addressed:

  1) privacy aspects,
  2) harmonize work with IPPM

To date, to the best of the chair's knowledge, the authors have not
responded to these issues on the list.  Jan and I would, therefore,
urge the authors to address these issues to satisfaction of the WG as
they work on the WG item -00 revision.  It will be good to have the
revision submitted, or at least some discussion started on how these
issues will be addressed, as soon as possible.

[alto] Call for adoption: ALTO traffic engineering cost metrics

2016-08-01 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani

Folks: As the (draft) minutes [1] of IETF 96 reflect, there was general
consensus on adoption of the ALTO traffic engineering cost metrics
(draft-wu-alto-te-metrics-08) draft as a deliverable towards protocol
extensions to convey a richer set of attributes.

Some concern was expressed on the list about the the privacy aspects
related to sharing some of the metrics.  These metrics remain optional,
and an ALTO server that does not want to provide these is not bound to
do so.

There was also advice from the AD to harmonize this work with the metric
registry work being done in IPPM.

The chairs would like the authors to ensure that the above two items are
reflected in any discussion that arises in the context of adopting this
draft as a working group item.

The call for adoption runs for two weeks, from Mon Aug 1, 2016 to Mon
Aug 15, 2016.  This will be a good time to comment on the list and
inform the working group of any issues with adopting this items, or
whether the working group was remiss in considering other documents.
Please post to the list.  (Even a simple "I support this document
towards charter deliverable" is a good indication.)

[alto] Call for adoption: Adopting graph representation format deliverables

2016-08-01 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani

Folks: As the (draft) minutes [1] of IETF 96 reflect, there was general
consensus on adoption of path vector and routing state abstraction
documents towards the charter deliverable of graph representation
formats in ALTO.

The chairs will like to start a call for adoption of the two documents
--- https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-yang-alto-path-vector-03 and
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-gao-alto-routing-state-abstraction-03
--- as deliverables towards the charter item.

Note that there remains some ambiguity (in the chair's mind) on whether,
once adopted, these will proceed as two drafts or whether they will be
merged in one.  The authors of these drafts are urged to provide
clarity on the evolution of these documents.

The call for adoption runs for two weeks, from Mon Aug 1, 2016 to Mon
Aug 15, 2016.  This will be a good time to comment on the list and
inform the working group of any issues with adopting these items, or
whether the working group was remiss in considering other documents.

[alto] Adopting draft-randriamasy-alto-cost-calendar-06 as WG item

2016-07-28 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani

Folks: During the Berlin IETF, a hum was taken to determine if the WG
should adopt draft-randriamasy-alto-cost-calendar-06 as one of the WG
documents towards fulfilling the deliverable on "a richer set of
attributes to allow applications to determine not only "where" to
connect but also "when" to connect."

As the minutes reflect [1], the in-room and Jabber attendees were in
favour of adopting draft-randriamasy-alto-cost-calendar-06 as one of
the documents that goes towards fulfilling the charter deliverables.

Consequently, this communication serves to ratify the decision reached
during the face-to-face meeting on the mailing list.

If anyone has an objection to adopting the document, please state, on
the mailing list, the objection supported by reasons why the document
should not be adopted.  Please indicate any objections by Thu, August
7, 2016.

Hearing no objections by that date, Jan and I will like to request that
the authors prepare a WG -00 version of the document and submit it to
the IETF achives.

Re: [alto] A unified approach to value schemas and ALTO maps

[As an individual, of course]

On 07/27/2016 09:10 AM, Wendy Roome wrote:

Vijay,

It would not obsolete rfc7285, but it would deprecate much of it. An
ALTO server would continue to provide network maps, cost maps, ECS,
EPS, etc, as in 7285.


Deprecating rfc7285 is not a viable option at this point, at least in my
opinion.  I think this will add a level of uncertainty to pending work
that may be detrimental and slow down the progress that we witnessed at
the Berlin IETF.

I am not being obtuse, of course, just pragmatic.


But new work & extensions would use the new presentation scheme.

The new format resources can co-exist in the IRD with the rfc7285
resources. Ideally, an ALTO server would provide cost map resources
in both old & new formats, via different resource entries in the
IRD.


Ultimately whether to go this route is something that the WG will have
to decide collectively, but my personal opinion is that "here there be
dragons" :-)

Hmmm ... speaking as 1/2 the chair of course, there is certainly no
charter item against which ALTO can adopt this draft.  Process-wise, I
don't know off hand whether a WG can add a new deliverable without
re-chartering.

But the broader question is what prompted you to correlate the draft
with ALTO.  I could be missing something here, of course, but my quick
scanning of the draft seems that it is a bit orthogonal to ALTO.  But
as I said ... I may be missing something important.

[alto] Adopting draft-kiesel-alto-xdom-disc as WG item?

2016-07-12 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani

Folks: One of the deliverables on our charter is "Submit alternative
server discovery document."

For a while now, Sebastian has been presenting his work in the form
of draft-kiesel-alto-xdom-disc [1] that may address this deliverable.

At the Prague IETF where this work was last discussed [2,3], the
understanding was that the WG should start looking at this draft with
an eye towards adopting it as a WG item.

Sebastian has a slot at the Berlin IETF, so Jan and I will like to
take this time to request the WG to kindly read the draft and be
prepared to discuss adopting it as a WG item.  (This will be ratified
on the list after the meeting, of course.)

So, please do spend a few minutes thinking about the draft with respect
to fulfilling the charter deliverable as our meeting approaches.

[alto] DRAFT IETF 96 agenda

2016-07-11 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani

Folks: The draft agenda for IETF 96 is at
https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/96/agenda/agenda-96-alto

Please eyeball it to make sure that if you sent Jan and me a request,
your name appears on the agenda.

Note that we have had to shave some minutes off what was requested to
ensure that we fulfilled all of the requests we received.

Please let Jan and me know if we (inadvertently) forgot any request
received.

As usual, this is a draft agenda until finalized.

Cheers,

[alto] IPR disclosure on ietf-alto-alto-deployments

2016-07-05 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani

Folks: Pursuant to Mirja's email [1], Jan and I take this opportunity
to remind anyone on the list to respond with any concerns on moving
draft-ietf-alto-deployments forward.

It is imperative that the bounds of this discussion are understood
uniformly, and these are: There is no IPR being claimed against draft-
ietf-alto-deployments.  The draft simply appears as a reference in
patent applications.  Patent applications routinely include references
to other patents, academic papers, and standards documents.  However,
each such reference is not an IPR declaration.  In this particular
case, draft-ietf-alto-deployments is a general (informative) draft that
explains the use of ALTO in various scenarios, and has been used as a
reference in patent applications.  The draft itself is not suggesting
any specific method or processes that are subject to IPR.

Furthermore, in the particular case of draft-ietf-alto-deployments, the
authors of the patent applications in question have stated that the
draft itself is not subject to IPR protection and can proceed.

As such, the chairs and AD are of the opinion that the draft can
proceed.  Please let us know if you disagree and state your opinion on
the disagreement to the list.

Thanks,

[alto] IETF 96 agenda requests

2016-06-29 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani

Folks: Please send me and Jan agenda requests for the ALTO WG meeting
in IETF.  We have a 2 hour slot on Thu afternoon (July 21).

Specifically:

  - Presenter name
  - Time requested (in minutes)
  - Internet-Draft to be discussed

As usual, drafts that have seen list discussions will be given
precedence when scheduling the agenda.

As you are all aware, the deployment draft is now with the IESG.
As per our last meeting (virtual interm [1]), we need to move two
drafts ahead: (1) draft-ietf-alto-multi-cost-01 needs to be scheduled
for a WGLC, and (2) draft-randriamasy-alto-cost-calendar-05 needs to be
open up to being adopted as a WG item.  Jan and I will like to start
proceeding on this perhaps as early as next week.

Re: [alto] WG chair review of draft-ietf-alto-deployments-14

2016-05-17 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani
 the Internet.  Thus, an ISP may be an NSP but the
  reverse is not true.  I don't know whether you want to make this
distinction
  or not, but thought I'd point it out.


There are different definitons of NSP around.  Another common one would
be a "wholesale ISP" or what is usually called a Tier-1 carrier.

Or something like the IT department of a company, which does not only
provide bare Internet Connectivity, but also, say, file storage on
"network drives", etc.

I think the best thing to do would be to go through the whole section
and replace all occurences of ISP and NSP by network operator.


I will leave it to you to decide whether to do this or not.


- S3.1.5, first paragraph: s/, e.g.,//


why? "exposing network performance information" is only one thing
an alto server can do.


OK, leave as is.


- S3.2.4, first bullet under "Distance-related rating criteria:"
  s/values, and the ALTO client will not be informed about the
nature of the
  information./values.


why?

this sentence has two aspects:
- the server is free to chose how to compute the values, and
- the server does not even have to tell the client how he did it

both are important


OK, in that case, I would suggest
s/nature of the information./nature of the computation./

This makes it more direct that there are two aspects as you point
out above.


- S3.5.3, first paragraph: The key point here is that the cellular wireless
  bandwidth is a constrained resource, normal wireless (IEEE 802.11)
is not as
  much constrained as the cellular data network.  My suggestion would be to
  simply s/wireless bandwidth/cellular wireless bandwidth/


not sure why we need the distinction between 802.11 and cellular here.
both are less preferred than wireline.

we could do a four-tier example:
preference(true wireline clients) >
preference(wifi clients behind access points hooked up to the wireline
internet access by the paying customers) >
preference(wifi clients at access points operated by the ISP) >
preference(cellular clients)

but this goes way beyond what we need.


We don't need to do a four-tier example, but clearly you will agree that
the characteristics of the cellular bandwidth (of the kind provided by
an operator) are much different than those of WiFi bandwidth.  The
resources in the former are scarcer than those in the latter.  All this
said, I re-read the portion in question and perhaps the best thing to
do is to just leave it as is.  So, much ado about nothing :-)


- S3.5.3, Figure 13: For the sake of completeness and symmetry, you should
  specify the costs for the links that joins (PID 3, PID 1), as well as the
  text that makes it costly for peers in PID 3 to get content from
PID 1, but
  not as costly to get content from PID 2.


Who contributed this example?  Hans?  Can you do that?


Will need to close this soon.  Can you please drive this to completion
with Hans?


- S3.6.1, Figure 15: What would be good is if the link weights in
this figure
  were also reflected in Figure 14.  That way, later on when one is
  interpreting the hopcount cost map (Figure 20), it is easy to see
that the
  path weight between R1->R3->R4->R9 is 40.


Who contributed this example?  Hans?  Can you do that?


Will need to close this soon.  Can you please drive this to completion
with Hans?

In this document, in particular in Sec. 4.2.2, "ressource directory"
is used as an abstract term for BitTorrent trackers and similar

is not the endpoint of the bulk data transmissions that we we want to
optimize.

The usage of this term is consistent with RFC 5693 (ALTO problem
statement), which defines:

   Resource Directory:  An entity that is logically separate from the
  resource consumer and that assists the resource consumer to
  identify a set of resource providers.  Some P2P applications refer
  to the resource directory as a P2P tracker.

This term coined in the very early days of ALTO is not to be confused
Information Resource Directory (IRD) defined in RFC 7285 (ALTO protocol).

We will add a clarification that the RFC 5693 definition is meant.


OK, I had forgotten about the use of that early meaning!

Yes, that will work; probably just say that "We use the term Resource
Directory as defined in RFC5693, which defines it as an entity that is
logically separate from the resource consumer and that assists the
resource consumer to identify a set of resource providers.  This use
of the term is different than the usage ascribed to the term Information
Resource Directory defined in RFC7286.  For the remainder of this
document, the term Resource Directory is to be interpreted as defined in
RFC5693."

That will do it.


The other issues (below) seem to be mostly editorial stuff - we will
take care of them.


Sounds good.  Thanks a lot.  As soon as I see a revision, I can send the
document to IESG.

[alto] Proto writeup for ALTO deployment draft

2016-04-06 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani

All: I am the shepherd for the ALTO deployment draft.  The draft
is close to being done and the working group is awaiting the release
of version -14.

In preparation of moving the draft ahead when version -14 becomes
available, I have filled in the proto-writeup as indicated below.
Let me know of any issues and concerns with the writeup.

Thanks.

1. Summary.

Vijay K. Gurbani is the document shepherd for draft-alto-deployments draft.
Spencer Dawkins was the responsible AD throughout the last few versions 
of the

draft, however, that benefit transferred to Mirja Kuhlewind around IETF 95
(Buenos Aires).

The document itself has a long and varied history, having started life 
off as

a -00 document targeted to the ALTO WG as an individual (original authors:
Martin Stiemerling and Sebsatian Kiesel, March 1, 2010).  It 
transitioned to a

WG document in February 2011 with the original two authors and continued on
revision trajectory until version -04 when new authors were added.

The document distills and prescribes recommendations for network
administrators and application designers planning to deploy ALTO, including
recommendations on how to generate the ALTO map information and known
limitations of the ALTO protocol (rfc7285).  Furthermore, the document
provides guidance for the use of ALTO in diverse environments, including P2P
traffic optimization, CDN considerations, application guidance in VPNs, to
name a few examples.

The working group is targeting this document as an Informational, which 
is the

appropriate track the document should be on based on the nature of its
prescriptions and recommendations.  The document does not introduce any new
protocol elements, nor does it subvert --- positively or negatively --- the
usage of the protocol in any given particular environment (i.e., CDNs, VPNs,
or P2P environments).

2. Review and Consensus.

The draft has consensus from the WG and has been well-reviewed.  There have
been two WGLCs for this draft: Version -11 of the draft was last-called
between the time period of April 28, 2015 to May 17, 2015.  During this
period, the draft was reviewed in detail by Wendy Roome.  Wendy found 
several

minor issues and nits and a couple of major issues, all of which were
readily addressed in version -12 (June 2015).

Pursuant to an ALTO virtual meeting held on October 27, 2015, it became
apparent that draft-siedel-alto-map-calculation could inform
draft-ietf-alto-deployments.  The authors of the two drafts were 
requested to

make a determination whether portions of the former could be included in the
latter.  By November 2015, a determination was made that relevant portions
from the map-calculation draft could be put into the 
deployment-considerations

draft.  The issue at hand after this was done was whether the changes
percolated widely enough to have a second WGLC.  By Jan 2016, it was decided
that a second WGLC was likely, and thus a second one was issued that ended
on February 3, 2016.  The second WGLC was reviewed by Sabine Randriamasy,
resulting in version -14 that addressed her review.

In summary, the deployment draft has had excellent support from the working
group, has been reviewed on multiple occasions by various members of the
working group and has been last-called twice to account for the expanded 
role
it took on as the working group became aware of the growing deployment 
of the

ALTO protocol.

3. Intellectual Property.

The shepherd confirms that each author has stated to him (and ALTO 
co-chairs)

their direct, personal knowledge that the authors are not aware of any IPR
related to this document.

To the best of the shepherd's knoweldge, there has not been any 
discussions on

IPR related to this document on the ALTO WG mailing list.

4. Other Points.


Thanks,

Hi, Vijay:
Thank for raising discussion on this.


Qin: Thanks for starting a discussion on this.  I was wondering why no
one had picked up on the mail to start a thread.


Socializing multi-cost and alto-calendar is a good idea, I also think
we should socialize ALTO cost metric draft since this draft is a
companion document of alto-calendar draft and it interacts with many
routing area WGs on how to use measurement data provided by routing
system data source and RFC7471 and RFC7752 even provide a clear ALTO
use case.


Great.  I would think that you'd want to be in a position by the
Berlin IETF to make a short presentation to RTG area to intimate the
WGs there on the draft.


We authors plan to revive alto te metric draft and keep on proceeding
it in the upcoming IETF meeting.


Good.


Regarding developing policy using ALTO or JSON, I am afraid this has
potential overlapping with SUPA since YANG defined policy can be
translated into either XML format or JSON format and YANG is used to
generate API, it could be RESTful API or PlugRestful API. Do we think
ALTO is another modeling language besides YANG?


Is ALTO a modeling language?  I don't think so.  But I will be the first
to admit that my YANG knowledge is not up to par with that of others in
the working group, who I hope will hold a more insightful discussion on
this topic, and in the process educate me.

Clearly, the emergence of YANG has stymied the efforts of certain work
items in ALTO.  It will be an excellent start for someone (Richard Y?)
to provide a summary on the relevant issues we need to discuss here
to move some of the work forward and indeed, to formulate a response
--- if one is needed --- on the use of YANG in ALTO.

[alto] Rebooting ALTO (or how to avoid the "low energy" label)

2016-03-09 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani

Folks: Pursuant to the "State of the WG" thread [1], a number of
WG participants (Richard Y., Sabine R., Wendy R., Jensen Z., Gao, K)
exchanged some thoughts as a prelude to a larger WG discussion.  This
email serves as a summary of the the ideas exchanged by them and the
start of a larger WG discussion.

Clearly there is a need to reboot ALTO.

The protocol is stable, the abstractions in the protocol (PID, endpoint
cost service, network maps) are sound and very useful, but perhaps what
is lacking is a proselytizing push of the protocol to other WGs who may
have an interest in the capabilities offered by ALTO but may not be
aware of it.

Richard Yang noted that there is a large body of interest in ALTO
outside of the IETF:

  - The ALTO project in OpenDaylight [2]
  - Use of ALTO at Yale, Caltech, and other institutions (Richard,
please fill in with more communities of interest ...)
  - Early use of ALTO in service provider networks

This is a good sign in the generality of the protocol and the acceptance
of it.

Beyond this, there are other avenues that hold promise to raise the
profile of ALTO:

1) At the risk of wading into politics, the WG has to avoid the "low-
energy" label, which has known to be detrimental in other non-technical
spheres.  To this extent, the larger working group has to be more
engaged in list discussions, reviewing documents, and evangelizing the
protocol within IETF.  The WG has seen strong contributions from Lyle
Bertz, Haibin Song, Lingli Deng, among others, and these contributions
are very much appreciated and encouraged.  A number of WG participants
have been reviewing documents over the last few weeks. A note of
appreciation to Gao Kai, Jensen Zheng, and Qiao Xiang is in order ...
thanks to all.

2) Take a look at other WGs to see how ALTO may help.  Sdnrg, i2rs and
supa come to mind, although this is by no means an exhaustive list.

The work in ALTO on multi-cost and alto-calendar may could be of
interest to sdnrg and should be shared with them more formally.

Regarding i2rs, while ALTO will not --- and should not --- serve as a
southbound interface, it has the capacity and capability to serve as
one of the northbound interfaces [3].

Supa develops models to express policies using YANG, could it also
develop policies using ALTO?  Clearly, YANG and ALTO are oriented
towards two different layers, the former is designed for controlling
and querying network devices while the latter has strong high-level
abstractions (PID, endpoint cost service, network maps) that aid in
reasoning at higher levels.  While YANG is predominantly focused on
fixed networks, ALTO abstractions are useful regardless of fixed,
wireless, or cellular networks.  Can supa use these abstractions to
develop policies for applications?

3) Evangelize/proselytize/market ALTO in area-wide meetings, such as
tsvarea or opsarea.  The plan is to prepare an overview of the ALTO
protocol and its advantages in time for a slot at the Berlin IETF
tsvarea meeting.

So ... what to you folks think?  How do we reboot ALTO and maintain its
relevance?  Any further thoughts and ideas expressing them would be
great.

Thanks for reading so far!

[alto] No F2F meeting in Buenos Aires

2016-02-22 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani

Folks: Pursuant to the low responses for a ping on the mailing list [1]
about ongoing work and the need to meet physically at Buenos Aires, it
appears that we will NOT be meeting in Buenos Aires.  The plan is to
meet in Berlin in the summer.

Jan and I will be back in touch on next steps to move pending work items
ahead.

[alto] State of the WG

2016-01-26 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani

Folks: The mailing list has been awfully quiet.

Presently, we have 3 active I-Ds that are being tracked towards charter
fulfillment:

1. draft-ietf-alto-deployments is in its second WGLC.  The new WGLC ends
 on February 3, 2016.

2. draft-ietf-alto-incr-update-sse appears to be moving along and there
 do not seem to be any stop gap issues that we are aware of.  Authors,
 please inform the WG if there are.

3. draft-ietf-alto-multi-cost is also fairly mature.

It seems reasonable to move 2 and 3 ahead.

Then there are a number of independent submissions dating back to Sep-
Oct 2015 timeframe.  These have not been updated and nor has there been
much discussion on the mailing list.  Some of these submissions are
important for charter deliverables related to graph representation
formats.  Can the authors of the independent submissions kindly
share what their plans are with respect to the drafts?

This will help us gauge whether or not we should meet face-to-face in
Buenos Aires or have an interim meeting before it and meet face-to-face
in Berlin.

Note that while the final plans are still up in the air and subject
to change, there is a good chance that neither Jan or I will be able to
make it to Buenos Aires.  However, if a F2F meeting is desired, it is
important to get a sense of the energy behind the independent drafts,
as the list traffic has been woefully quiet on this front.

Thanks,

Re: [alto] draft-ietf-alto-deployments-13

2016-01-20 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani

Hi all,

Based on a suggestion of the chairs I have looked into how to include
parts of draft-seidel-alto-map-calculation in
draft-ietf-alto-deployments. [...]
I would like to ask the chairs to run a new WGLC in order to finally
move this document forward.


Folks: Happy new year to all of you.

Version -13 is a culmination of the effort to merge 
draft-ietf-alto-deployments and the individual effort of 
draft-seidel-alto-map-calculation as we have discussed in the past.


Given the changes in the merged draft, Jan and I will issue a new WGLC.
We will follow this up in a separate email, in the meantime, please
consider spending some cycles to go through -13.

Thanks,

[alto] Second WGLC for draft-ietf-alto-deployments-13

2016-01-20 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani

   [New email with appropriate subject to make it easier to search in
   the archives.]

All: Michael and Hans have merged draft-ietf-alto-deployments and
draft-seidel-alto-map-calculation into version -13.

Given the non-trivial (but important) changes in the draft, we will
issue a second WGLC for this work.

The WGLC for draft-ietf-alto-deployments-13 commences today and will
end on Wednesday, February 3, 2016.

Can Jan and I request the reviewers who had reviewed version -11 to
please look at version -13; Wendy Roome was one of them.  Wendy, can you
kindly review -13?

Other members of the WG are also urged to review the draft and post
comments on or before February 3, 2016.

Thank you,

[alto] Update on ALTO deployment considerations and map calculation draft

2015-11-19 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani

Folks: A quick update.

You may recall that I had asked [1] the authors of draft-
ietf-alto-deployments and draft-seidel-alto-map-calculation to
determine whether portions from the latter draft could be included in
the former.

There seem to be reasonable agreement on the list that the inclusion
would be a good thing.  The question was whether we will issue a new
WGLC for the deployment draft if it includes text from the
map-calculation draft.

Michael Scharf (editor of the deployment draft) is taking the lead in
determining the shape of the inclusion.  He will coordinate with Hans
(author of the map calculation draft) and advise the working group
soon as to next steps.  I expect this to be soon (within days instead
of months).

As soon as we hear from Michael, we will move ahead with the deployment
draft.

[alto] ALTO deployment considerations and map calculation draft

2015-10-28 Thread Vijay K. Gurbani

Michael, Hans: Pursuant to our virtual meeting yesterday, I have been
thinking whether Hans' draft [1] has any input that can go into
Michael's deployment draft [2]?

Can I kindly request the authors to inform the working group if there
is any beneficial overlap from [1] that we may take into [2]?  I
realize that [2] has been through WGLC so I am not expecting
large-scale changes in it.  But if there is any deployment-related
experience from [1] that can be put into [2], we should do our due
diligence and make sure that we reflect that experience.

Thanks!

Richard Yang wrote:


Vijay, Michael,

[...]

I liked draft-seidel-alto-map-calculation, and support that we report
the results in an RFC.


Richard, whether and in which track draft-siedel-...-calculation moves
ahead will get hashed out on the list, I am sure.  Probably sooner
rather than later.


I share the same interest: completing the deployment doc soon. One
procedural question. If we add content from
draft-seidel-alto-map-calculation to the deployment doc, do we need
to go through a WGLC again?


If we end up taking some text from draft-siedel-...-calculation, then
yes, we'd socialize the change with the WG.  However, it does not have
to be a WGLC again, just a revision that presents the newly added text
to the WG.

In the past, I have authored drafts and been part of WGs where new text
is added after the WGLC.  The change gets socialized, and if the feeling
in the WG is that the change is substantial, then a second WGLC may get
issued.  However, I don't think that will be the case here.  I suspect
we can identify if there is any information we can carry into
draft-...-deployment-considerations, and if so we can revise the draft
to socialize the change and move it ahead.

The bigger issue is finding the time for the authors (or list members)
to scan draf-siedel-...-calculation and see if there is any text that
is worth including in draft-...-deployment-considerations.  The sooner
this happens, the better.

Hans, Michael: If you could devote a bit of time to determining this,
it'll be great.

Thanks,
