IPR poll on draft-ietf-pwe3-dynamic-ms-pw

Working Group and authors;

The authors of draft-ietf-pwe3-dynamic-ms-pw, the working group
chairs and the document shepherd are working to prepare the
publication request for this document.

To prepare the shepherd write-up we need to do an IPR poll on the
document to check whether there are more IPRs that needs to be
disclosed before sending the document to the IESG with a request
that it is published as an RFC on the standards track.

This mail starts that IPR poll.

There are 4 IPR disclosures against this document, ID #998,
ID #1810, ID #1879 and ID #1885. It is possible to find them at
https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/

Are you aware of any further IPR that applies to
draft-ietf-pwe3-dynamic-ms-pw?

If so,this IPR need to be disclosed in compliance with IETF IPR rules
(see RFCs 3979, 4879, 3669 and 5378 for more details).

If you are listed in the authors section of this document please respond 
to this email regardless of whether or not you are aware
of any relevant IPR. *The response needs to be sent to the PWE3 wg 
mailing list.* The documents will not advance to the next stage until
a response has been received from each author and contributor.

Since the authors section includes 20 names, could the authors please

Shepherding draft-ietf-pwe3-dynamic-ms-pw

PWE3 Working Group,

As the working group chairs earlier said on the mailing list I've been
asked and accepted to shepherd draft-ietf-pwe3-dynamic-ms-pw.

The reason for picking me as a shepherd and not someone with a stronger
PW-profile is that a very high percentage of the folks active in the
PWE3 are on the list of authors for the document.

I will do a (or have done) couple of things:

- run this pretty much as if it were an MPLS wg document that I'm
   shepherding
- since the document had expired I asked the authors to re-post the
   document with any changes; this has been done and we now have
   version -17 active
- start an IPR poll; a separate mail on that will be sent to PWE3
   mailing shortly
- run an implementation poll; look out or this mail in 3-4 days time
- do a shepherd review of the document; this is very close to done, but
   it is in ms word format and I've promised that I will create a text
   version for the mailing list. Anyone that want the word-file can send
   a unidirectional mail to me. I will also send the word-file  to the
   authors
- once the document has been updated and the polls responded to, I will
   finalize the "shepherd write-up"; normally I circulate the write-up
   to my co-chairs, the responsible AD and the authors for comments
   and review before it is sent with the publication request to the
   IESG. I don't know the practice in the pwe3 working group, but I
   will follow the lead of the working group chairs if I should send it

I-D Action: draft-ietf-pwe3-mpls-tp-pw-over-bidir-lsp-01.txt


A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
 This draft is a work item of the Pseudowire Emulation Edge to Edge Working Group of the IETF.

	Title           : LDP extensions for Pseudowire Binding to LSP Tunnels
	Author(s)       : Mach(Guoyi) Chen
                          Wei Cao
                          Attila Takacs
                          Ping Pan
	Filename        : draft-ietf-pwe3-mpls-tp-pw-over-bidir-lsp-01.txt
	Pages           : 15
	Date            : 2013-06-03

Abstract:
   Many transport services require that user traffic, in the forms of
   Pseudowires (PW), to be delivered on a single co-routed bidirectional
   LSP or two LSPs that share the same routes.  In addition, the user
   traffic may traverse through multiple transport networks.

   This document specifies an optional extension in LDP that enable the
   binding between PWs and the underlying LSPs.

Retiring ACH TLVs

Hi,

ACH TLVs keep popping up and causing Stewart and me trouble. Mainly it is about explaining why no-one
actually wants to use them (i.e., when each new ACH Type is defined and has a "No TLVs" written for it, we get
asked "why not?").

It seems to us that ACH TLVs are an idea that has been rejected. Initially we thought they might be used
(especially for identifiers), but there seems to be good opinion that handling generic TLVs would be a pain.

Since I was heavily responsible for insisting that ACH TLVs were included in RFC 5586, it seems reasonable
that I do the work to fix it.

The I-D below retires ACH TLVs and handles the necessary registry changes.

Note, of course, that structured data are still possible within individual ACHs if the protocol spec for an
individual ACH decides to have them.

We're directing this work to the MPLS working group because that is where 5586 was written. I have BCC'ed
PWE3, L2VPN, and BFD for information. 

Thanks for any comments.

As humble WG contributors we would be enthusiastic to see early WG adoption and last call :-)

Thanks,
Adrian

> 
>    No Associated Channel Type yet defined uses a TLV.  Furthermore, it
>    is believed that handling TLVs in hardware introduces significant

Biggest Fake Conference in Computer Science

Biggest Fake Conference in Computer Science

We are researchers from different parts of the world and conducted a study on  
the world’s biggest bogus computer science conference WORLDCOMP 
( http://sites.google.com/site/worlddump1 ) organized by Prof. Hamid Arabnia 
from University of Georgia, USA.

We submitted a fake paper to WORLDCOMP 2011 and again (the same paper 
with a modified title) to WORLDCOMP 2012. This paper had numerous 
fundamental mistakes. Sample statements from that paper include: 

(1). Binary logic is fuzzy logic and vice versa
(2). Pascal developed fuzzy logic
(3). Object oriented languages do not exhibit any polymorphism or inheritance
(4). TCP and IP are synonyms and are part of OSI model 
(5). Distributed systems deal with only one computer
(6). Laptop is an example for a super computer
(7). Operating system is an example for computer hardware

Also, our paper did not express any conceptual meaning.  However, it 
was accepted both the times without any modifications (and without 
any reviews) and we were invited to submit the final paper and a 
payment of $500+ fee to present the paper. We decided to use the 
fee for better purposes than making Prof. Hamid Arabnia (Chairman 
of WORLDCOMP) rich. After that, we received few reminders from 
WORLDCOMP to pay the fee but we never responded. 

We MUST say that you should look at the above website if you have any thoughts 
to submit a paper to WORLDCOMP.  DBLP and other indexing agencies have stopped 
indexing WORLDCOMP’s proceedings since 2011 due to its fakeness. See 
http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/conf/icai/index.html for of one of the 
conferences of WORLDCOMP and notice that there is no listing after 2010. See Section 2 of
http://sites.google.com/site/dumpconf for comments from well-known researchers 
about WORLDCOMP. 

The status of your WORLDCOMP papers can be changed from scientific
to other (i.e., junk or non-technical) at any time. Better not to have a paper than 
having it in WORLDCOMP and spoil the resume and peace of mind forever!

Our study revealed that WORLDCOMP is a money making business, 
using University of Georgia mask, for Prof. Hamid Arabnia. He is throwing 
out a small chunk of that money (around 20 dollars per paper published 
in WORLDCOMP’s proceedings) to his puppet (Mr. Ashu Solo or A.M.G. Solo) 
who publicizes WORLDCOMP and also defends it at various forums, using 
fake/anonymous names. The puppet uses fake names and defames other conferences
to divert traffic to WORLDCOMP. He also makes anonymous phone calls and tries to 
threaten the critiques of WORLDCOMP (See Item 7 of Section 5 of above website). 
That is, the puppet does all his best to get a maximum number of papers published 
at WORLDCOMP to get more money into his (and Prof. Hamid Arabnia’s) pockets. 

Monte Carlo Resort (the venue of WORLDCOMP for more than 10 years, until 2012) has 
refused to provide the venue for WORLDCOMP’13 because of the fears of their image 
being tarnished due to WORLDCOMP’s fraudulent activities. That is why WORLDCOMP’13 
is taking place at a different resort. WORLDCOMP will not be held after 2013. 

The draft paper submission deadline is over but still there are no committee 
members, no reviewers, and there is no conference Chairman. The only contact 
details available on WORLDCOMP’s website is just an email address! 

Let us make a direct request to Prof. Hamid arabnia: publish all reviews for 
all the papers (after blocking identifiable details) since 2000 conference. Reveal 
the names and affiliations of all the reviewers (for each year) and how many 
papers each reviewer had reviewed on average. We also request him to look at 
the Open Challenge (Section 6) at https://sites.google.com/site/moneycomp1 

Sorry for posting to multiple lists. Spreading the word is the only way to stop 
this bogus conference. Please forward this message to other mailing lists and people. 

We are shocked with Prof. Hamid Arabnia and his puppet’s activities

keyword worldcomp fake for additional links.

[PWE3} solicit for comments: "PW endpoint fast failure protection" draft

Hi,
 
We presented the “PW endpoint fast failure protection” draft rev-03 during IETF 86. We’d like to thank the WG charis for the comment on LDP backward capatability and LDP capability negotiation for the new LDP extenstion defined in the draft. We are going to address this in the next revision.
 
Meanwhile, we’d also like to solicit comments through this mailing list. We’d like to appreciate your review and opinions on the draft. To make this a little easier, I’m attaching the slides of the presentation for your reference.
 
 
 
Thanks,

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mirsky-mpls-tp-cv-adv-02

PWE3ers,

As requested by Greg, this begins a call for WG adoption of
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mirsky-mpls-tp-cv-adv-02 . This is a
stable draft that has been around for over a year now and has been
discussed both at IETF-83 and on the list.

Please reply to this email whether or not you support adoption of this
draft. Reasons are not required, but are helpful for the WG. We would
like to see a good show of support rather than just a few emails.
Indications that the draft has actually been read would also be
greatly appreciated.

The author has already stated that he is not aware of any IPR that
applies to the draft.

As this is IETF week, this will be a three-week poll, ending 1 April.

Thanks,
Andy

I-D Action: draft-ietf-pwe3-iccp-10.txt


A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
 This draft is a work item of the Pseudowire Emulation Edge to Edge Working Group of the IETF.

	Title           : Inter-Chassis Communication Protocol for L2VPN PE Redundancy
	Author(s)       : Luca Martini
                          Samer Salam
                          Ali Sajassi
                          Satoru Matsushima

	Pages           : 80
	Date            : 2013-02-20

Abstract:
   This document specifies an inter-chassis communication protocol
   (ICCP) that enables Provider Edge (PE) device redundancy for Virtual
   Private Wire Service (VPWS) and Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS)
   applications. The protocol runs within a set of two or more PEs,
   forming a redundancy group, for the purpose of synchronizing data
   amongst the systems. It accommodates multi-chassis attachment circuit
   as well as pseudowire redundancy mechanisms.
