Re: Draft L1VPN Charter



Dimitri,

I don't know exactly which hat I've on here. What I said is
that I see some need to further coordinate the IETF relationship
with ITU-T, and that it is not a good idea to establish yet another
realtionship before doing so.
I don't know what such a channel will look like - or even if it is
"single" - but I claim that it is something we need to discuss.

Loa,

good to see there is a clear intention to structure our relationship and
message towards ITU-T wrt to our GMPLS work and views

if i correctly interpreet you statement "Use the established IETF channels
to coordinate with ITU-T as necessary." it means there will be a single
channel (contrary to the multiple per WG channel that exists today) and you
suggest   making use of it to communicate with ITU-T SG13 on L1VPN

as long as this allows interacting with them where necessary i do not think
this would problematic - do you know when such person is going to be
appointed ?

thanks,
- dimitri.

Igor and Dimitri,

I'm not that happy about this - did see it go into the version
that was sent to l1vpn-list, and think it should not be there.
At least not until we have a clear understanding of what the
scope of this working groups coordination with ITY-T needs to
be.

The issues we see to today is that we have several contacts points
with ITU-T and the messages we send over these contact points are
sometimes conflicting and they are using it to say that we don't
have control of what we are doing.

I think that with regards to the ITU-T relationship it would be
much better to appoint one person (a liaison) or a working group
or a set of working groups responsible for coordinating the
(g)mpls part of the ITU-T relationship from the IETF. And then
write something like:

"Use the established IETF channels to coordinate with ITU-T as
necessary."

Actually this could go into the charter of all working groups that
needs to part of this coordination.

   igor, all - now that i am thinking of it there is probably a need to
   add a sentence like "The WG will also liaise with related ITU-T SGs"
   after "... and other WGs where necessary."

Alex, All



   2. Enhanced mode: the CE-PE interface provides the signaling
   capabilities
   as in the Basic mode, plus permits utilization of the provider's

control

   plane for distribution of user's routing information (e.g. similar
   to the
   MPLS/BGP model).

   I'd like to replace this with:



   2. Enhanced mode: the CE-PE interface provides the signaling
   capabilities
   as in the Basic mode, plus permits utilization of the provider's

control

   plane for distribution of user's arbitrary control plane information
   between the VPN sites including but not limited to routing

information.



   Provider network IHMO should make no assumptions on what protocols
   are running within VPNs. Generally speaking, a L1VPN user is not
   necessarily GMPLS controlled network. Furthermore, even in case it
   does use GMPLS it needs L1VPN CE-CE connections to provide (TE)
   links within VPNs. Specifically, the User should be capable to run
   LMP for such links, it also should be possible to establish
   signaling (RSVP) adjacencies between their ends, etc. The bottom
   line is that distribution of routing information between CEs IHMO is
   not sufficient. I believe this is consistent with the requirements
   stated in ITU-T SG13 L1VPN documents

   Folks-

Before we bring it to the l1vpn mailing list, I'd like to run this

   Description of Working Group:

   L1VPN Working Group's task is to specify mechanisms necessary for
   providing a VPN service over a GMPLS transport network.

   The following two service models will be addressed:

1. Basic mode: the CE-PE interface's functional repertoire is limited

to

   path setup signalling only. The GMPLS network is not involved in
   distribution of user's routing information.

   2. Enhanced mode: the CE-PE interface provides the signaling
   capabilities
   as in the Basic mode, plus permits utilization of the provider's

control

   plane for distribution of user's routing information (e.g. similar
   to the
   MPLS/BGP model).

   The WG will work on the following items:

   1. Specification of the L1VPN user-to-network interface (UNI) basic
   mode,
   including both CE and PE functionality.

2. Specification of the L1VPN node-to-node interface (NNI) basic

mode.

   !
   3. MIB modules and/or extensions required for UNI and NNI basic mode.

   4. Specification of L1VPN UNI enhanced mode.

   5. Specification of L1VPN NNI enhanced mode.

6. MIB modules and/or extensions required for UNI and NNI enhanced

mode.

Protocol extensions required for L1VPN will be done in cooperation

with

   CCAMP, OSPF, IS-IS, IDR, and other WGs where necessary.

   Milestones:

   Sep 05 Submit first Internet Drafts of UNI and NNI basic mode
   specifications
   Dec 05 Submit first Internet Drafts of MIB modules for UNI and NNI

basic

   mode
   Jun 06 Submit UNI and NNI basic mode specifications to IESG for
   publication as Proposed Standard
   Jun 06 Submit first Internet Draf! ts of UNI and NNI enhanced mode
   specifications
   Aug 06 Submit MIB modules for UNI and NNI basic mode to IESG for
   publication as Proposed Standard
   Dec 06 Submit UNI and NNI enhanced mode specifications to IESG for
   publication as Proposed Standard
   Aug 06 Submit MIB modules for UNI and NNI enhanced mode to IESG for
   publication as Proposed Standard
