I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-forces-framework-01.txt

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Forwarding and Control Element Separation Working Group of the IETF.

        Title           : ForCES Architectural Framework
        Author(s)       : L. Yang et al.
        Filename        : draft-ietf-forces-framework-01.txt
        Pages           : 23
        Date            : 2002-9-10

This document defines the architectural framework for ForCES network
elements (NE), and identifies the associated entities and the
interaction among them.  This framework is intended to satisfy the
requirements specified in the ForCES requirements draft [FORCES-
REQ].

FW: I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-forces-framework-01.txt

The changes occured in this revision of the ForCES framework document are
mostly minor except in Section 6 (Applicability to RFC1812). There are some
editorial revision throughout the document, and important correction to a
few cross reference errors.

The technical comments we got since last revision are mostly concerning
Section 6. There are questions like where ARP should be done (CE or FE),
where ICMP error messages are generated etc. To calrify on this, a general
guideline is added in this section (more specifically, in 6.2):
"...ARP support may be implemented in either CEs or FEs. As we will see
        later, a number of behaviors that RFC1812 mandates fall into this
        category -- they may be performed by the FE and may be performed by
        the CE. A general guideline is needed to ensure interoperability
        between separated control and forwarding planes. The guideline we
        offer here is that CEs are required to be capable of these
        operations while FEs may or may not choose to implement them. FE
        model should indicate its capabilities in this regard. "
Some clarification along this line is also made in section 6.3 regarding IP
options like source route, record route, time stamp, etc.
There was also a error in previous revision regarding forwarding tables in
multiple FEs. That was also corrected in this revision.

Once again, we would like to thank all the people that have provided
comments to us. We would like to ask you to take one more look at the
document, esp. Section 6 and provide feedback.

Thanks,
Lily
