Subject: Re: [Softwires] Call for adoption of draft-bfmk-softwire-unified-cpe-02


hi Suresh and all,

personally i think this work is still premature for the WG adoption. reasons 
are below:

1. current draft makes a logic for the CPE to decide its mode according to what 
information it received from DHCP options. however, DHCP options are not the 
only available provision mean. what if my CPE get MAP information through DHCP, 
while lw4over6 information from PCP, while another MAP domain's provision 
through manually configuration? when such kind of basic questions not yet fully 
discussed, i doubt it is suitable to adopt this work at so early stage.

[ian] The intention for the draft is to describe using the presence (or 
absence) of configuration parameters so that a CPE can work out which mode to 
configure. The DHCP section is there to show how this would work if you were 
using DHCP as the config mechanism, but it doesn't


[maoke] the draft states "e.g." for the DHCP configuration firstly but later 
the total discussion is based on only DHCP. i doubt this can be a good 
direction for the further approach.

[ian] That's not the intention. Only section 3.3 discusses DHCP in depth to 
show how this works. The implementation is given as a should req. to be in line 
with the DHCP provisioning should requirements in both MAP and lw4o6. Point 
taken however – I'll try and make the rest of the document (e.g. Except sec 
3.3) less DHCP focused.

2. some important issues are not yet comprehensively discussed, or almost 
missing, in the current draft. e.g. (but not limited to),
    - what is the correct NAPT source port overlapping behaviour for the 
unified CPE?
    - what is the correct fragment/reassemble behaviour for the unified CPE?

[ian] I agree that these are problems that need to be addressed across both MAP 
and LW, but both of these problems need solutions that are aligned at both ends 
of the softwire, not just the CPE.

[maoke] NAPT issue is totally CPE issue. i don't agree it is a problem for the 
*both* ends. fragmentation issue involves both sides, but CPE behaviour 
impacting the anycast BR/AFTR performance is a well-known issue in the 
community. even BR/AFTR has any change, the CPE must contain a work on this 
issue.

[ian] If there are overlapping source ports, then this is also a problem for 
the concentrator. If multiple initiators share the same v4 destination address 
/ source ports, on what basis can the initiator forward ingress traffic?


[ian] For the fragmentation question, Ole proposed this as being a suitable 
task to tackle as it is common to all solutions. I would propose that this is 
how it is tackled, and then any affected drafts are updated based on the 
outcome.

as currently there is no MAP members joins this draft, i am worrying that the 
draft has fully reflected the concern from the MAP side.


[ian] As there haven't been any comments on the draft for some time from anyone 
involved in the WG, I'm hoping that this means that everyone is happy with the 
content!

[maoke] happy with the content at current stage = acknowledge to the authors' 
effort != happy with the content at the level of WG adoption. ;-) for the time 
being...

[ian] Let's see what the outcome of the adoption call is then.

Hi all,
  This draft was a result of the discussion initiated at the softwire
meeting in Atlanta to attempt to come up with a unified CPE
specification that can work with both MAP and lw4o6. This call is being
initiated to determine whether there is WG consensus towards adoption of
draft-bfmk-softwire-unified-cpe-02 as a softwire WG draft. Please state
whether or not you're in favor of the adoption by replying to this
email. If you are not in favor, please also state your objections in
your response. This adoption call will complete on 2013-02-18.

Regards
Suresh & Yong
