Document Action: 'Home Automation Routing Requirements in Low Power and Lossy Networks' to Informational RFC

2010-01-19 Thread The IESG
The IESG has approved the following document:

- 'Home Automation Routing Requirements in Low Power and Lossy Networks '
   draft-ietf-roll-home-routing-reqs-11.txt as an Informational RFC


This document is the product of the Routing Over Low power and Lossy networks 
Working Group.

Technical Summary

This document presents home control and automation application
specific requirements for Routing Over Low power and Lossy
networks (ROLL). In a modern home, a high number of wireless
devices are used for a wide set of purposes. Examples include
actuators (relay, light dimmer, heating valve), sensors (wall
switch, water leak, blood pressure) and advanced controllers.
Basic home control modules such as wall switches and plug-in
modules may be turned into an advanced home automation solution
via the use of an IP-enabled application responding to events
generated by wall switches, motion sensors, light sensors, rain
sensors, and so on.

Network nodes may be sensors and actuators at the same time. An
example is a wall switch for replacement in existing buildings.
The push buttons may generate events for a controller node or for
activating other actuator nodes. At the same time, a built-in
relay may act as actuator for a controller or other remote
sensors.

Because ROLL nodes only cover a limited radio range, routing is
often required. These devices are usually highly constrained in
term of resources such as battery and memory and operate in
unstable environments. Persons moving around in a house, opening
or closing a door or starting a microwave oven affect the
reception of weak radio signals. Reflection and absorption may
cause a reliable radio link to turn unreliable for a period of
time and then being reusable again, thus the term lossy.

Unlike other categories of PANs, the connected home area is very
much consumer-oriented. The implication on network nodes is that
devices are very cost sensitive, which leads to resource-
constrained environments having slow CPUs and small memory
footprints. At the same time, nodes have to be physically small
which puts a limit to the physical size of the battery; and thus,
the battery capacity. As a result, it is common for low-power
sensor-style nodes to shut down radio and CPU resources for most
of the time. The radio tends to use the same power for listening
as for transmitting

Section 2 describes a few typical use cases for home automation
applications. Section 3 discusses the routing requirements for
networks comprising such constrained devices in a home network
environment. These requirements may be overlapping requirements
derived from other application-specific routing requirements. A
full list of requirements documents may be found in the end of the
document.

Working Group Summary

No controversy.

RFC Editor Note

Section 1

ADD new paragraph before the paragraph beginning Section 2 describes a 
few...

   Although this document focuses its text on radio-based wireless
   networks, home automation networks may also operate using a variety
   of links, such as IEEE 802.15.4, Bluetooth, Low Power WiFi, wired or
   other low power PLC (Powerline Communication) links. Many such low
   power link technologies share similar characteristics with low power
   wireless and this document should be regarded as applying equally to
   all such links.

Section 3.3

OLD
   Looking at the number of wall switches, power outlets, sensors of
   various nature, video equipment and so on in a modern house, it
   seems quite realistic that hundreds of low power devices may form
   a home automation network in a fully populated smart home.
   Moving towards professional building automation, the number of
   such devices may be in the order of several thousands.

   The routing protocol MUST support 250 devices in the network.

NEW
   Looking at the number of wall switches, power outlets, sensors of
   various nature, video equipment and so on in a modern house, it
   seems quite realistic that hundreds of devices may form a home
   automation network in a fully populated smart home, and a large
   proportion of those may be low power devices. Moving towards
   professional building automation, the number of such devices may be
   in the order of several thousands.

   The routing protocol needs to be able to support a basic home
   deployment and so MUST be able to support at least 250 devices in the
   network. Furthermore,

PathErr messages may be used to trigger rerouting of Multi-Protocol
Label Switching (MPLS) and Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) point-to-point
Traffic Engineering (TE) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) without first
removing LSP state or resources.  Such LSP rerouting may be desirable
in a number of cases, including, for example, soft-preemption and
graceful shutdown.  This document describes the usage of existing
Standards Track mechanisms to support LSP rerouting.  In this case, it
relies on mechanisms already defined as part of RSVP-TE and simply
describes a sequence of actions to be executed.  While existing
protocol definitions can be used to support reroute applications, this

the future definition of reroute-application-specific error values.

This document specifies Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Traffic
Engineering Soft Preemption, a suite of protocol modifications
extending the concept of preemption with the goal of reducing or
eliminating traffic disruption of preempted Traffic Engineering Label
Switched Paths (TE LSPs).  Initially, MPLS RSVP-TE was defined with
support for only immediate TE LSP displacement upon preemption.  The
utilization of a reroute request notification helps more gracefully
mitigate the reroute process of preempted TE LSP.  For the brief
period soft preemption is activated, reservations (though not
necessarily traffic levels) are in effect under-provisioned until the
TE LSP(s) can be rerouted.  For this reason, the feature is
primarily, but not exclusively, interesting in MPLS-enabled IP
networks with Differentiated Services and Traffic Engineering
capabilities.  [STANDARDS TRACK]

The Access Node Control Protocol (ANCP) aims to communicate Quality
of Service (QoS)-related, service-related, and subscriber-related
configurations and operations between a Network Access Server (NAS)
and an Access Node (e.g., a Digital Subscriber Line Access
Multiplexer (DSLAM)).  The main goal of this protocol is to allow the
NAS to configure, manage, and control access equipment, including the
ability for the Access Nodes to report information to the NAS.

This present document investigates security threats that all ANCP
nodes could encounter.  This document develops a threat model for
ANCP security, with the aim of deciding which security functions are
required.  Based on this, security requirements regarding the Access
Node Control Protocol are defined.  This document is not an Internet 
Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.

A micro-loop is a packet forwarding loop that may occur transiently
among two or more routers in a hop-by-hop packet forwarding paradigm.

This framework provides a summary of the causes and consequences of
micro-loops and enables the reader to form a judgement on whether
micro-looping is an issue that needs to be addressed in specific
networks.  It also provides a survey of the currently proposed
mechanisms that may be used to prevent or to suppress the formation
of micro-loops when an IP or MPLS network undergoes topology change
due to failure, repair, or management action.  When sufficiently fast
convergence is not available and the topology is susceptible to
micro-loops, use of one or more of these mechanisms may be desirable.

WG Review: Recharter of Mobility Extensions (netext)

2010-01-19 Thread IESG Secretary
A modified charter has been submitted for the Mobility Extensions (netext)
working group in the Internet Area of the IETF.  The IESG has not made any
determination as yet.  The modified charter is provided below for
informational purposes only.  Please send your comments to the IESG
mailing list (i...@ietf.org) by Tuesday, January 26, 2010.

This update of the NETEXT working group's charter involves adding work
items related to cross-interface handover and flow mobility that were
discussed in the NETEXT2 BOF but not adopted by the IETF. After
discussions in the NETEXT WG meeting in Hiroshima, a significantly
reduced scope for the work was adopted, and this work is now being added
to the charter. In addition, one work item on RADIUS support moves from
the NETLMM WG to this WG. The differences to the current charter can be
seen at

Description of Working Group:

Proxy Mobile IPv6, specified in RFC 5213, is a network-based mobility
protocol. It uses a Mobile Access Gateway (MAG) and a Local Mobility
Anchor (LMA) to allow hosts to move around within a domain while keeping
their address or address prefix stable. Proxy Mobile IPv6 has been
incorporated into a number of products and deployments are starting.
Certain deployment considerations, including localized routing and bulk
refresh of lifetime are already emerging.

The working group will focus on the following topics relevant for
network-based mobility:

Localized Routing: a specification for routing traffic between the
MAG(s) without involving the LMA. That is, allow the MAGs to route
traffic between hosts from one MAG to another, without being tunneled
all the way to the LMA. This reduces latency and backhaul load.
Applications such as voice can benefit from the reduced latency.

Bulk Refresh: a specification of improving the signaling load for
binding lifetime refresh. The current specifications call for the
handling of each mobility session independent of each other. When a
large number of hosts are served by a single MAG, a periodic refresh of
the binding lifetimes can lead to a signaling storm. The purpose of the
Bulk Refresh feature is to construct a protocol feature that allows such
refreshes to occur on a per-MAG basis.

LMA Redirection: a specification for allowing an LMA to redirect a MAG
to another LMA. This is primarily needed as a way to perform load
balancing. This functionality is complementary to implementation
techniques that allow distributed MAG implementations to move tasks
around without a visible impact at the protocol level, and the
initial LMA discovery work in the NETLMM WG. An applicability statement
describing the situations where the new functionality is or is not
applicable has to be included in the specification.

Hiding access technology changes from host IP layer: Proxy mobility is
based on the assumption that changes in host IP stacks are
undesirable. However, link layer implementations can hide the
actually used physical interfaces from the IP stack. For instance, a
single interface might transmit packets over different media, as is
common practice in certain radio networks. This can be used to achieve
inter-access handovers or flow mobility, i.e., the movement of
selected flows from one access technology to another. The
specification of any actual link layer mechanisms is outside the scope
of the working group, but the group works on the following:

- Informational applicability statement that analyzes the issues
involved with this approach and characterizes the contexts in which
such use is or is not appropriate.

- The working group will determine if protocol extensions are required
between the Proxy Mobile IPv6 network nodes (MAGs and LMAs) to
support the ability for a single host interface to transmit packets
over different media and the ability to distribute specific traffic
flows on different media components of that single interface. The
relevant protocol extensions will be developed as necessary. The WG
will assume that there the host has an interface that is capable of
employing multiple media.

Radius Extensions to PMIP6: In order to enable network based
mobility using PMIP6, the policy profile needs to signal a set of
attributes and policies to the MAG and LMA. New Radius attributes
need to be specified that are relevant to
