Expires October 24, 2010 [Page 3] Internet-Draft GIST State Machine April 2010 1. Introduction The state machines described in this document are illustrative of how the GIST protocol defined in [1] may be implemented for the GIST nodes in different locations of a flow path. Where there are differences - [1] is authoritative. The state machines are informative only. Implementations may achieve the same results using different methods. There are two types of possible entities for GIST signaling: - GIST querying node - GIST node that initiates the discovery of the next peer; - GIST responding node - GIST node that is the discovered next peer; We describe a set of state machines for these entities to illustrate how GIST may be implemented. 2. Terminology The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [2]. 3. Notational conventions used in state diagrams The following text is reused from [3] and the state diagrams are based on the conventions specified in [4], Section 8.2.1. Additional state machine details are taken from [5]. The complete text is reproduced here: State diagrams are used to represent the operation of the protocol by a number of cooperating state machines each comprising a group of connected, mutually exclusive states. Only one state of each machine can be active at any given time. All permissible transitions between states are represented by arrows, the arrowhead denoting the direction of the possible transition. Labels attached to arrows denote the condition(s) that must be met in order for the transition to take place. All conditions are expressions that evaluate to TRUE or FALSE; if a condition evaluates to TRUE, then the condition is met. The label UCT denotes an unconditional transition (i.e., UCT always evaluates to TRUE). A transition that is global in nature (i.e., a transition that occurs from any of the possible states if the condition attached to the arrow is met) is denoted by an open arrow; i.e., no specific state is Tsenov, et al. Expires October 24, 2010 [Page 4] Internet-Draft GIST State Machine April 2010 identified as the origin of the transition. When the condition associated with a global transition is met, it supersedes all other exit conditions including UCT. The special global condition BEGIN supersedes all other global conditions, and once asserted remains asserted until all state blocks have executed to the point that variable assignments and other consequences of their execution remain unchanged. On entry to a state, the procedures defined for the state (if any) are executed exactly once, in the order that they appear on the page. Each action is deemed to be atomic; i.e., execution of a procedure completes before the next sequential procedure starts to execute. No procedures execute outside of a state block. The procedures in only one state block execute at a time, even if the conditions for execution of state blocks in different state machines are satisfied, and all procedures in an executing state block complete execution before the transition to and execution of any other state block occurs, i.e., the execution of any state block appears to be atomic with respect to the execution of any other state block and the transition condition to that state from the previous state is TRUE when execution commences. The order of execution of state blocks in different state machines is undefined except as constrained by their transition conditions. A variable that is set to a particular value in a state block retains this value until a subsequent state block executes a procedure that modifies the value. On completion of all of the procedures within a state, all exit conditions for the state (including all conditions associated with global transitions) are evaluated continuously until one of the conditions is met. The label ELSE denotes a transition that occurs if none of the other conditions for transitions from the state are met (i.e., ELSE evaluates to TRUE if all other possible exit conditions from the state evaluate to FALSE). Where two or more exit conditions with the same level of precedence become TRUE simultaneously, the choice as to which exit condition causes the state transition to take place is arbitrary. In addition to the above notation, there are a couple of clarifications specific to this document. First, all boolean variables are initialized to FALSE before the state machine execution begins. Second, the following notational shorthand is specific to this document: = | | ... Execution of a statement of this form will result in having a value of exactly one of the expressions. The logic for which of those expressions gets executed is outside of the state Tsenov, et al. Expires October 24, 2010 [Page 5] Internet-Draft GIST State Machine April 2010 machine and could be environmental, configurable, or based on another state machine such as that of the method. 4. State Machine Symbols ( ) Used to force the precedence of operators in Boolean expressions and to delimit the argument(s) of actions within state boxes. ; Used as a terminating delimiter for actions within state boxes. Where a state box contains multiple actions, the order of execution follows the normal English language conventions for reading text. = Assignment action. The value of the expression to the right of the operator is assigned to the variable to the left of the operator. Where this operator is used to define multiple assignments, e.g., a = b = X the action causes the value of the expression following the right-most assignment operator to be assigned to all of the variables that appear to the left of the right-most assignment operator. ! Logical NOT operator. && Logical AND operator. || Logical OR operator. if...then... Conditional action. If the Boolean expression following the if evaluates to TRUE, then the action following the then is executed. { statement 1, ... statement N } Compound statement. Braces are used to group statements that are executed together as if they were a single statement. != Inequality. Evaluates to TRUE if the expression to the left of the operator is not equal in value to the expression to the right. == Equality. Evaluates to TRUE if the expression to the left of the operator is equal in value to the expression to the right. Tsenov, et al. Expires October 24, 2010 [Page 6] Internet-Draft GIST State Machine April 2010 > Greater than. Evaluates to TRUE if the value of the expression to the left of the operator is greater than the value of the expression to the right. <= Less than or equal to. Evaluates to TRUE if the value of the expression to the left of the operator is either less than or equal to the value of the expression to the right. ++ Increment the preceding integer operator by 1. + Arithmetic addition operator. & Bitwise AND operator. 5. Common Rules Throughout the document we use terms defined in the [1], such as Query, Response, Confirm. State machine represents handling of GIST messages that match a Message Routing State's MRI, NSLPID and SID and with no protocol errors. Separate parallel instances of the state machines should handle messages for different Message Routing States. The state machine states represent the upstream/downstream peers states of the Message Routing State. For simplification not all objects included in a message are shown. Only those that are significant for the case are shown. State machines do not present handling of messages that are not significant for management of the states. The state machines presented in this document do not cover all functions of a GIST node. Functionality of message forwarding, transmission of NSLP data without MRS establishment and providing of the received messages to the appropriate MRS, we refer as "Lower level pre-processing" step. Pre-processing provides to the appropriate MRS state machine only the messages which are matched against waiting Query/Response cookies, or established MRS MRI+NSLPID+SID primary key. This is presented by "rx_*" events in the state machines. Management of Messaging Associations (MA) is considered in the Tsenov, et al. Expires October 24, 2010 [Page 7] Internet-Draft GIST State Machine April 2010 document via procedures, events and variables, which describe MA interaction with the MRS state machines. A state machine for MA management is not explicitly presented. 5.1 Common Procedures Tx_Query: Transmit of Query message Tx_Response: Transmit of Response message Tx_Confirm: Transmit of Confirm message Tx_Data: Transmit of Data message Tg_MessageStatus: NSLP/GIST API message informing NSLP application for unsuccessful delivery of a message Tg_RecvMsg: NSLP/GIST API message that provides received message to the NSLP application Tg_NetworkNotification: NSLP/GIST API message that informs NSLP application for change in MRS Install downstream/upstream MRS: Install new Message Routing State and save the corespoding peer state info (IP address and UDP port or pointer to the used MA) for the current Message Routing State or update the coresponding peer state info. Delete MRS: Delete installed downstream/upstream peer's info for the current Message Routing State and delete the Message Routing State if required. Refresh MRS: Refreshes installed MRS. Queue NSLP info: Save NLSP messages in a queue until conditions for their sending are present, e.g. a required MA association is established. Tsenov, et al. Expires October 24, 2010 [Page 8] Internet-Draft GIST State Machine April 2010 CheckPeerInfo: The sender of the received data message is matched against the installed peer info in the MRS. Delete MA: Delete/disconnect used MA. Stop using shared MA: Stop using shared MA. If the shared MA is no more used by any other MRSs, it depends on the local policy whether it is deleted or kept. Tg_Establish_MA: Trigers establishment of a new MA. Start/Restart a timer variable (Section 5.3): Start/Restart of a certain timer. Install/Update/Delete UpstreamPeerInfo variable (Section 5.3): Management of upstream peer info in responding node state machine. 5.2 Common Events Rx_Query: Receive of Query message Rx_Response: Receive of Response message Rx_Confirm: Receive of Confirm message Rx_Data: Receive of Data message Tg_SendMsg: NSLP/GIST API message from NSLP application that requests transmission of a NSLP message. Tg_SetStateLifetime(time_period): NSLP/GIST API message providing info for the lifetime of a Routing State (RS), required by the application. "Time_period = 0" represents the cancellation of established RSs/MAs, invoked by the NSLP application. Tg_InvalidRoutingState: NSLP/GIST API notification from NSLP application for path change. Tsenov, et al. Expires October 24, 2010 [Page 9] Internet-Draft GIST State Machine April 2010 Tg_ERROR: General Error event / system level error. Tg_MA_Established: A new MA has been successfully established. Tg_MA_Error: Error event with used MA. Timeout a timer variable (Section 5.3): Timeout of a certain timer. 5.3 Common Variables Variables listed in this section are defined as: - Specific information carried in the received messages. - Conditions that are results of processes not defined in the state machine model. State machine logic is based on these general conditions and message parameters. The type of mode and destination info is determined by NSLP application parameters and local GIST policy. Here it is represented by the common variables Dmode, Cmode and MAinfo. Cmode: The message MUST be transmitted in Cmode. This is specified by "Message transfer attributes" set by NSLP application to any of the following values: "Reliability" is set to TRUE. "Security" is set to values that request secure handling of a message. "Local processing" is set to values that require services offered by Cmode (e.g., congestion control). [1] Dmode: The message MUST be transmitted in Dmode. This is specified by local policy rules and in case that the "Message transfer attributes" are not set by NSLP application to any of the following values: "Reliability" is set to TRUE. Tsenov, et al. Expires October 24, 2010 [Page 10] Internet-Draft GIST State Machine April 2010 "Security" is set to values that request special security handling of a message. "Local processing" is set to values that require services offered by Cmode [1] MAinfo: GIST message parameters describing the required MA or proposed MA, e.g., "Stack-proposal" and "Stack-Configuration-Data" [1]. NSLPdata: NSLP application data. RespCookie: Responder Cookie that is being sent by the responding node with the Response message in case that its local policy requires a confirmation from the querying node. ConfirmRequired: Indicator that a Confirm message is required by the local policy rule for installation of a new MRS. NewPeer: Indicator that a Response message is received from new responding peer. MAexist: Indicator that an existing MA will be reused in data transfer between peers. UpstreamPeerInfo: Upstream peer info that is saved in an established MRS. T_Inactive_QNode: Message Routing State lifetime timer in querying node T_Expired_RNode: Message Routing State lifetime timer in responding node T_Refresh_QNode: Message Routing State refresh timer in querying node T_No_Response: Timer for the waiting period for Response message in querying node T_No_Confirm: Timer for the waiting period for Confirm message in responding node Tsenov, et al. Expires October 24, 2010 [Page 11] Internet-Draft GIST State Machine April 2010 No_MRS_Installed: Data sent by responding node via a Response message that indicates loss of Confirm message. 6. State machines The following section presents the state machine diagrams of GIST peers. The document is issued in two formats - .pdf and .txt. In the .pdf document, the state machine diagrams are depicted in details in this section. All state machine information (triggering event, action taken and variables status) is visualized on the diagrams. In the .txt document, state machine diagrams depict only transition numbers. Following each diagram is a list of state transition descriptions. Complete transition details (triggering event, action taken and variables status) are given in state transition tables in Appendix A. Please use the .pdf version whenever possible. It is the clearer representation of the state machine.

Depending on nodes local policy NSLP data might be piggybacked in the Query requesting Dmode. Query may carry MAinfo if Cmode transport is needed. 2) T_No_Response timer expires and maximum number of retries has been reached. NSLP application is notified for the GIST peer discovery failure. 3) T_No_Response timer expires. Query is resent. 4) Data message is received. It is checked if its sender matches the installed downstream peer info in the MRS and then processed. In WaitResponse state, this event might happen in the process of MA upgrade, when the downstream peer is still not aware of establishment of the new MA. 5) NSLP application provides data for sending. NSLP data is queued, because downstream peer is not discovered or required MA is still not established. 6) Response message is received. If Dmode connection is requested or available MA can be reused for requested Cmode, the MRS is established. 7*) Response message is received. If Cmode connection must be established and there is no available MA to be reused, MA establishment is initiated and waited to be completed. 8) A MA establishment fails. NSLP application is notified for unsuccessful message delivery. 9) NSLP application provides data for sending and requested transport parameters require upgrade of established MRS from Dmode/Cmode to Cmode. Or NSLP application notifies GIST for path change. As a result downstream GIST peer discovery is initiated. 10) MRS lifetime expires or NSLP application notifies that MRS is no longer needed. MRS is deleted. If not needed, MA is deleted, too. NSLP application is notified for MRS change. 11*) Path change detected as a Response message from a new downstream GIST peer is received. A new MA must be established for requested Cmode. 12*) A new MA is established. MRS is installed. Queued NSLP data is sent. 13) T_Refresh_QNode timer expires. Query message is sent. 14) NSLP application provides data for sending. It is sent via Data message towards downstream GIST peer. 15) Response message from the downstream GIST peer is received. The peer is not changed. MRS is refreshed (T_Refresh_QNode timer is restarted). 16) Path change detected as a Response message from a new downstream GIST peer is received. Dmode is requested or existing MA can be reused for requested Cmode. Tsenov, et al. Expires October 24, 2010 [Page 14] Internet-Draft GIST State Machine April 2010 17) Responding peer indicates that it has not received a Confirm message and it has no established upstream MRS. Confirm message is resent. 18) General error or system level error occurs. MRS is deleted. If not needed, MA is deleted, too. NSLP application is notified for the MRS change. Remarks: *) Response and Confirm messages might be sent either in Dmode or Cmode, before or after MA establishment depending on nodes local 3-way handshake policy and the availability of MAs to be reused. See [1] for details. **) Depending on GIST local policy, NSLPdata might be send as payload of Query and Confirm messages (piggybacking). 6.3 State machine for GIST responding node GIST responding node state machine diagram is depicted below.

MRS is installed immediately, because local policy permits it. Query message might carry piggybacked NSLP data which is provided to the NSLP application. 2) A Query message is received. Local policy requires explicit Confirm message for MRS installation. Query message might carry piggybacked NSLP data which is provided to the NSLP application. 3) T_No_Confirm timer expires. Note that all cases of lost handshake GIST messages are handled only by GIST querying node via resend of Query message. 4) A Query message is received again. This means that sent Response message has not been received by upstream GIST peer. Response message is resent. Tsenov, et al. Expires October 24, 2010 [Page 16] Internet-Draft GIST State Machine April 2010 5) A Confirm message is received which causes installation of the upstream MRS. 6) In case of lost Confirm message, data messages might be received from the upstream GIST node (it is unaware of the lost Confirm message). Response indicating the loss of the Confirm is sent back to the upstream GIST node. 7) A Query message is received with request for change of the used connection mode (from Dmode/Cmode to better Cmode) or from new upstream GIST node. Local policy requires explicit Confirm message for MRS installation. 8) MRS lifetime expires or NSLP application notifies that MRS is no longer needed. MRS is deleted. If used and not needed, MA is deleted, too. NSLP application is notified for MRS change. 9) NSLP application provides data for sending. NSLP data is sent if discovery process is successfully accomplished or it is queued if Confirm message is still expected to confirm establishment of a MA. 10) A Query message is received. If it is sent from a new upstream GIST node then there is a path change. Local policy does not need explicit Confirm message for MRS installation. MRS data is updated. 11) A Query message is received with request for change of the used connection mode (from Dmode/Cmode to better Cmode). Local policy does not need explicit Confirm message for MRS installation. MRS data is updated. 12) A Data message is received. Data messages are accepted only if complete MRS is installed, e.g., there is installed upstream peer info. If not, then Confirm message is expected and Data message is not accepted. Response indicating the loss of the Confirm is sent back to the upstream GIST node. 13) A Confirm message is received. It accomplishes assignment of an existing MA (or establishment of a new MA) needed for data transferring between peers. The information for the used MA is installed as upstream peer info. 14) General error or system level error occurs. MRS is deleted. If not needed, MA is deleted, too. NSLP application is notified for MRS change. 7. Security Considerations This document does not raise new security considerations.
