Abstract Abstract
When routing devices rely on modems to effect communications over When routing devices rely on modems to effect communications over
wireless links, they need timely and accurate knowledge of the wireless links, they need timely and accurate knowledge of the
characteristics of the link (speed, state, etc.) in order to make characteristics of the link (speed, state, etc.) in order to make
forwarding decisions. In mobile or other environments where these forwarding decisions. In mobile or other environments where these
characteristics change frequently, manual configurations or the characteristics change frequently, manual configurations or the
inference of state through routing or transport protocols does not inference of state through routing or transport protocols does not

There exist today a collection of modem devices that control links of There exist today a collection of modem devices that control links of

DLEP assumes that participating modems, and their physical links, act DLEP assumes that participating modems, and their physical links, act
as a transparent IEEE 802.1D bridge. Specifically, the assumption is as a transparent IEEE 802.1D bridge. Specifically, the assumption is
that the destination MAC address for data traffic (frames destined that the destination MAC address for data traffic (frames destined
for the far-end node, as opposed to the DLEP control traffic itself) for the far-end node, as opposed to the DLEP control traffic itself)
in any frame emitted by the router should be the MAC address of a in any frame emitted by the router should be the MAC address of a
device in the remote node. DLEP also assumes that MAC addresses are device in the remote node. DLEP also assumes that MAC addresses are
unique within the context of the router-modem session. unique within the context of the router-modem session.
DLEP utilizes UDP multicast for single-hop discovery, and TCP for
transport of the control signals. Therefore, DLEP assumes that the
modem and router have topologically consistent IP addresses assigned.
It is recommended that DLEP implementations utilize IPv6 link-local
addresses to reduce the administrative burden of address assignment.
This document refers to a remote node as a "Destination". This document refers to a remote node as a "Destination".
Destinations can be identified by either the router or the modem, and Destinations can be identified by either the router or the modem, and

3. Mandatory Versus Optional Items 3. Mandatory Versus Optional Items
As mentioned above, DLEP defines a core set of signals and data items As mentioned above, DLEP defines a core set of signals and data items
as mandatory. Support for those signals and data items MUST exist in as mandatory. Support for those signals and data items MUST exist in
an implementation to guarantee interoperability and therefore make an an implementation to guarantee interoperability and therefore make an
implementation DLEP compliant. However, a mandatory signal or data implementation DLEP compliant. However, a mandatory signal or data
item is not necessarily REQUIRED - as an example, consider the data item is not necessarily required - as an example, consider the data
item entitled "DLEP Optional Signals Supported", defined in section item entitled "DLEP Optional Signals Supported", defined in section
10.22 of this document. The data item allows a DLEP implementation to 10.22 of this document. The data item allows a DLEP implementation to
list all optional behavior it supports, and is sent as a part of the list all optional behavior it supports, and is sent as a part of the
Peer Initialization signal. Receiving implementations MUST be capable Peer Initialization signal. Receiving implementations MUST be capable
of parsing and understanding the optional signals that are offered. of parsing and understanding the optional signals that are offered.
However, if the sending implementation has chosen NOT to implement However, if the sending implementation has chosen NOT to implement
ANY optional functionality, this data item would NOT be included in ANY optional functionality, this data item would NOT be included in
the Peer Initialization (e.g., absence of the mandatory data item the Peer Initialization. Although parsing and understanding the data
would not be considered a protocol error, but as support for the core item is a mandatory function of a compliant DLEP, the data item

metric value is to be calculated, rather, the protocol assumes that metric value is to be calculated, rather, the protocol assumes that
metrics have been calculated with a "best effort", incorporating all metrics have been calculated with a "best effort", incorporating all

As mentioned in the introduction section of this document, metrics As mentioned in the introduction section of this document, metrics
have to be used within a context - for example, metrics to a unicast have to be used within a context - for example, metrics to a unicast
address in the network. DLEP allows for metrics to be sent within two address in the network. DLEP allows for metrics to be sent within two
contexts - metrics for a specific destination within the network contexts - metrics for a specific destination within the network
(e.g., a specific router), and "modem-wide" (those that apply to all (e.g., a specific router), and "modem-wide" (those that apply to all
destinations accessed via the modem). Metrics are further subdivided destinations accessed via the modem). Metrics can be further
into transmit and receive metrics. Metrics supplied on DLEP Peer subdivided into transmit and receive metrics. Metrics supplied on
signals are, by definition, modem-wide; metrics supplied on DLEP Peer signals are, by definition, modem-wide; metrics supplied on
Destination signals are, by definition, used for the specific Destination signals are, by definition, used for the specific

DLEP modem implementations MUST announce all supported metric items, DLEP modem implementations MUST announce all supported metric items,

Initialization signal. In order to introduce a new metric type, DLEP Initialization signal. In order to introduce a new metric type, DLEP
modem implementations MUST terminate the session with the router (via modem implementations MUST terminate the session with the router (via
the Peer Terminate signal), and re-establish the session. the Peer Terminate signal), and re-establish the session.

extensions to DLEP will in all likelihood be necessary as more link extensions to DLEP will in all likelihood be necessary as more link

DLEP signals/data items that are optional, or are in the experimental

they are not understood.
The intent of the optional signals and data items, as well as the If/when protocol extensions are required, they should be standardized

specification.
6.3 Experimental Extensions
This document requests numbering space in both the Signal and Data
Item registries for experimental items. The intent is to allow for
experimentation with new signals and/or data items, while still
retaining the documented DLEP behavior. If a given experiment proves
successful, it SHOULD be documented as an update to this document, or
as a stand-alone specification. Experimental DLEP signals SHOULD be
treated as optional signals - e.g., they SHOULD be announced in the
"DLEP Optional Signals TLV" in Peer Initialization and/or Peer
Initialization ACK. Likewise, experimental data item TLVs SHOULD be
announced in the "DLEP Optioinal Data Items" TLV (also in Peer
Initialization/Peer Initialization ACK).
7. Normal Session Flow 7. Normal Session Flow
Normal session flow is slightly different, depending on whether the Normal session flow for a DLEP router has two sub-cases, depending on
implementation represents a modem or a router, and whether discovery whether the implementation supports the discovery process. Since
techniques are used. The normal flow by DLEP partner type is: modems MUST support the discovery process, there is only one
description necessary for modem implementations. The normal flow by
DLEP partner type is:

Peer Discovery signal to the DLEP link-local multicast address and Peer Discovery signal to the DLEP link-local multicast address and
port (TBD). The implementation then waits on receipt of a Peer Offer port (TBD). The implementation then waits on receipt of a Peer Offer
signal, which MUST contain the unicast address and port for TCP-based signal, which MUST contain the unicast address and port for TCP-based
communication with a DLEP modem. The Peer Offer signal MAY contain communication with a DLEP modem. The Peer Offer signal MAY contain
