Re: [3gv6] about Prefix delegation in 3GPP EPC networks

Hi, Frank,

If the prefixes assigned to one PDN connection are aggregable, it is fine. The problem is we have to
carefully deal with the possible gaps that may be left after several times PDs.
I think it is better if we can assign one shorter prefix to UE in one time.

I don't think R11 needs more complex alternatives. If we can figure a good solution for R10, R11 absolutely
can use this solution if the requirement is not changed.

I will check your contributions to 3GPP and give you feedback in a few day.

Using different APN for different prefix length is not practical. Usually, We do not set too many APNs in the
field network. It is not convenient for the UE to change one APN to another if it wants a different length
prefix. Usually, differnt APN is set for different service.  UEs connected to the same APN may want to get
different length prefixes due to differnt networks behind them.

...FB: Could you detail the deployment scenario a bit more? From what I've heard so far, the expectation is
that subscriptions which will use shorter/multiple prefixes will be different from the typical service
subscription of a mobile-phone user, e.g. those subscriptions would be broadband-home-router type
devices using LTE to connect to the network. Hence the approach of using different APNs. You obviously
have a different deployment model in mind. 

Appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks, Frank

Re: [3gv6] about Prefix delegation in 3GPP EPC networks

Hi all,

The prefix delegation needs to be available for standard subscriptions.. Or else people having standard subscriptions will have to manage with ND proxy. There is no need for separate subscription in order to run NAT44 on UE, right? So there should be no need for special subscription in IPv6 cellular router case either, right?

Separate APN could be supported with standard subscriptions as well; UEs can have multiple parallel PDN connections.

To conserve, maybe the usual "Internet APN" could have longer prefix, like /60 or so, and shorter like /48 would require something special?

If prefix delegation is made completely as premium service, I could bet other mechanisms for network sharing will prevail..

Best regards,

Teemu

The individual prefix allocations are from a pre-assigned prefix block for
the UE, so, any holes due to non-assignment should not matter. You will
still have one aggregatable route on the anchor for each UE.

XY: Yes. It is not practical that using different APN to represente different length prefix service. But defining a particular APN can be used to help UE to select the PDN which providing shorter prefix service or supporting DHCPv6 PD. Anyway, not every UE needs shorter prefix, neither of the P-GW.

Re: [Ietf-krb-wg] WG Last Call: draft-sakane-dhc-dhcpv6-kdc-option-08

Jeff,

Thank you for your comments.  That is very valuable for me, especially
language problem.

O.K.  I will wait for your decision.  Before that, I want to ask some questions.
There are 3 items that we need a decision.

1-1: Expand "DHCP"

  Jeff>
    Expand "DHCP"

  Shoichi>
    I am not sure whether it is better that the Kerberos option for both DHCPv4
    and DHCPv6 are described in a single document.  Yes, I understand most
    description including the introduction, the behavior of client and server,
    are same.  But, the format of the payload is different.
    I would like to ask to member of the group what we can do.

1-2: prividing an IPv4 address. section 2.2 (KDC Sub-Option)

  Jeff>
    > It is not recommended to provide an IPv4 address.

    Since most Kerberos deployments are currently IPv4-only, I'm not
    convinced this advice is appropriate.  If we believe as a WG that
    this is appropriate, then the phrase "not recommended" should be
    elevated to RFC2119 requirements language (i.e. uppercase), and
    this requirement should be stated separately, rather than as an
    aside to the description of the sub-option length.

  Shoichi>
    If my understanding is correct, it was the consensus of the krb-wg
    meeting in Stockholm.  However, I agree that currently most KDC
    is IPv4-based.  I am fine that the kerberos option for DHCPv6
    can provide any host's information as well as IPv4 address.
    I would like to ask to member of the group what we should do.

1-3: address family: KDC address (variable)

  Jeff> 
    There seems to be no explicit indication of the family of an address;
    instead, the recipient is expected to infer it from the address length.
    This seems brittle, as it assumes no one will wish to run Kerberos on
    a network protocol with 128-bit addresses other than IPv6, or on a
    protocol with 32-bit addresses other than IPv4.  I suggest including
    an explicit address family, perhaps drawn from the existing Address
    Family registry:
    http://www.iana.org/assignments/address-family-numbers/address-family-numbers.xhtml

  Shoichi>
    I wanted such suggestion.  I will add a field of the address family.
    When the field is added, the sub-option will have a 3-octet reserved
    field since the family number is 16-bit long.  Do we accept it ?
    To avoid it, another option would be that we can shorten the number
    to 8-bit from 16-bit.  But, it is backward.

    When we add the field of an address family as is, the message
    structure will be:

    0                   1                   2                   3

You misunderstand.  I'm talking about an editorial change, not a substantive one.  Acronyms such as "DHCP"
must be fully expanded on first use, so that the document is readable to readers unfamiliar with the
abbreviations.  So, the first time you mention DHCP, write "Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)"
instead of just "DHCP".

I will have to look into this.

That doesn't have to be the case.  You can reorder the fields so that all of the 16-bit fields are together: 
priority, weight, AF, port, then the 8-bit transport type, then the variable-sized addresses.  Or, you
could give up on the idea that bits on the wire need to be word-aligned; I'm not sure what DHC thinks of that.

If you do that, it's too small for the size of the registry.

Thanks for the clarification.  All right.  I will fix it.

I found a definition in section 6 of RFC 3315:

  6. Client/Server Message Formats

  Options are stored serially in the options field, with no padding
  between the options.  Options are byte-aligned but are not aligned in
  any other way such as on 2 or 4 byte boundaries.

So, I am going to take your suggestion.  The message format will be:

  0                   1                   2                   3

Re: [3gv6] about Prefix delegation in 3GPP EPC networks

Hi, Teemu,

I am afraid the shortest prefix length that a UE can request has to be added to the subscription data. Thus we
can apply appropriate charging policy to the UE requesting shorter prefix. In this way, network sharing
abusing can be avoided. If you want network sharing, you have to pay more.

主题: Re: [3gv6] about Prefix delegation in 3GPP EPC networks

Hi all, 

The prefix delegation needs to be available for standard subscriptions.. Or else people having standard
subscriptions will have to manage with ND proxy. There is no need for separate subscription in order to run
NAT44 on UE, right? So there should be no need for special subscription in IPv6 cellular router case
either, right? 

Separate APN could be supported with standard subscriptions as well; UEs can have multiple parallel PDN
connections. 

To conserve, maybe the usual "Internet APN" could have longer prefix, like /60 or so, and shorter like /48
would require something special? 

If prefix delegation is made completely as premium service, I could bet other mechanisms for network
sharing will prevail.. 

Best regards, 

Teemu

Re: [3gv6] about Prefix delegation in 3GPP EPC networks

Hi, Frank,

I listed two possible use cases in S2-100449 I submitted to 3GPP SA2#77. S2-100449 is also attached in this mail.
One of the use cases is like what you said. The other one is machine to machine communication gateway. This
gateway has to assign IPv6 addresses to the sensors, knobs, or other devices within its control area. The
uplink connection of this gateway can be LTE or 2/3G GPRS.

Anyway, even we use a specific APN to support shorter prefix, this APN has to be able to assign prefix with
variable length to different UEs,  because the UEs attached to this APN may cover different number of
subnets, thus need different length prefix.

...FB: Could you detail the deployment scenario a bit more? From what I've heard so far, the expectation is
that subscriptions which will use shorter/multiple prefixes will be different from the typical service
subscription of a mobile-phone user, e.g. those subscriptions would be broadband-home-router type
devices using LTE to connect to the network. Hence the approach of using different APNs. You obviously
have a different deployment model in mind. 

Appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks, Frank
