Re: [MEXT] LMA behavior for HI status unknown (was Re: Binding Revocation almost ready for IESG)

Hello Ahmad,

I think we'd be better with a new revision.

Thanks.

Hi Julien,

Sure, will spin a new revision, hopefully quickly.

Ahmad

I have nothing against being the superior or having one, but I'm a bit
lost with the point of the analogy...

How do you make your HA know that the address XYZ your MN just SLAAC'd
at the starbucks downdown is assigned towards on a 54Mbs WiFi link?
Are you driving back to home to configure appropriately your HA while
the MN stays at starbucks?

Re: [MEXT] Important considerations for directionality of flow bindings


It seems like some people are drawing paralels with PMIPv6 here.
I think that we shouldn't because in mext we have full MN input, e.g. MCoA draft is a good example. MCoA draft
is now in IESG processing status.

Cheers,

Behcet

Re: [MEXT] Important considerations for directionality of flow bindings

Julien,

Probably some missunderstanding comes from the different scope of viewing at the general deployment of
MIP protocol(s)
I'm trying (whether successful or not?) not to restrict the view to just flow binding as such but to look at
somewhat bigger context where MIP support is a part of the whole, playing important role.

> How do you make your HA know that the address XYZ your MN just SLAAC'd at the starbucks downdown is assigned

> Are you driving back to home to configure appropriately your HA while the MN stays at starbucks?

The key is that one may use (I definetly would) applciation level to communicate any kind of parameters
between HA and MN. I do not mean routing rules. Basically anything else. If one finds that the fact of MN
being attached to 54Mbs WiFi link is useful information for HA, then there is nothing preventing to send
this information to HA without involving MIP.
Next important thing, in my view, is that the logic generating this or that set of routing rules whether
implemented in MN or HA or both has nothing to do with MIP. This logic is about how to choose an interface for a
particular flow and in theory may be delegated to a third party node (do not think this is a good idea
though). This is the reason why I don't entirely agree with your statement:

> I believe there's a valid reason which is called protocol layering.
> Rules dealing with choice of a MIPv6 Care-of address do belong to the
> MIPv6 layer. Policies regarding which access technology to use for a given app/service/etc. do not
belong to that layer

Basically rules is instantiation of policies and as I see it, first the choice of access is made, secondly an
IP address is pointed out, but not because the IP address is suitable for a flow or belongs to IP layer, but
because it turned out to be configured on the suitable access. Thus, I would not state that rules are
dealing with any kind of choice, on the other hand rules are the result of choice.

Re: [MEXT] Important considerations for directionality of flowbindings

FWIW I also fully agree with this as well as with Hesham's main points.

Although I understand that some people find the prospect of an HA
micromanaging uplink flows interesting at an academic level, I do not
think anyone would seriously consider this in a practical deployment
for reasons that have already been exhaustively articulated.

George

First it was:
No HA can not do, only MN can do it.

Now it suddenly became:
Yes it is possible but academic :).

A lot of things are theoretically possible.
We are not here, however, to standardise all theoretical possibilities.
