Hello folks,

What is the problem here?  Don't we allow RREP to advertise a.0.0.0/8?

What does it mean to RREQ for a gateway? Is that like RREQ for a prefix instead of a specific destination?

Regards,
Charlie P.

[This time from a subscribed address.]

You say you've added a sentence saying AODVv2 doesn't do RREQs for gateways. What should have happened is a discussion on this list as to why? is that hard? does anyone have a clever idea to make it not hard? does anyone need that functionality? and so on.

For example, here's something that superficially looks like it might work. Does it, or does it introduce new problems? I don't know. But this, and likely better ideas, just haven't had discussion here - and I fear that the people who might have the better ideas have departed unheard.

So, a router wants a route to a.b.c.d, and sends an RREQ for that (/32, or simply omit). Of course any router directly serving that address just replies. But a router that is serving a.0.0.0/8 could reply with that address. The originating router of course would use standard IP maximum prefix length rules. Does that work? Does it help anyone? Could a router reply a.b.c.d/32 and a.0.0.0/8 in one RREP? Or could it be allowed to reply a.b.c.d/8 as a shorthand? And why can't a router request a.b.0.0/16 - and possibly get an a.0.0.0/8 reply?

Answers to all of those is "I don't know". But we should have been having those discussions.

Hi Thomas,

Lotte,

Thank you for this update. An impressive amount of changes to the document, according to RFCdiff, and as I can see from your mail that there is much more to come,

Thanks! I’m glad you’re seeing the progress we’ve made.

I hope that you forgive me for not jumping at a blow-by-blow review until a version which the authors themselves consider stable, is produced.

On the point of “much more to come", there have been quite a few comments raised by WG participants other than Mr. Dean and Chris (such as by myself, but not only) — some of which intersect some of the below, and for which I do not believe that a satisfactory resolution has been developed, presented to the WG, and confirmed.

I’m not quite sure which comments exactly you are referring to? Your last comments that come to mind are the ones in these threads:

https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/manet/current/msg18055.html
https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/manet/current/msg18639.html

You’ve announced to go through the former in your last response to the latter, but as far as I can see you haven’t gotten round to doing that and a lot of points you’ve brought up have sparked ongoing discussions, so I’ve marked most of your comments as “pending– still in discussion” in my mind.
Regarding the points you brought up that aren’t affected by this:

* Metrics– we’ve had discussions about this many moons ago with authors on both sides of the fence. Unfortunately I can’t remember the counter arguments, and I’m still looking for records of this conversation… I’ll get back to you when I’ve found out more.
* Prefixes & Gateways: I’ve added a sentence to clarify that AODVv2 doesn’t do RREQs for gateways, I hop that helps?


In which revision of the I-D do you plan on addressing those?


If the discussions reach a conclusion by then, I’d be glad to have them addressed by the next revision.

Best regards,
Lotte

Best,

Thomas

Hi all,
just a quick summary of what is and what isn’t included in this update of the draft:

DONE:
————
* All JWD! comments (i.e. the critical ones) are resolved
* Out of 90 JWD and JWD! comments, 61 are resolved
* The revised security considerations [1] were added (with the TODOs commented out)
* The following TODO from [1] was resolved:
   "This description MUST
   include the reasons it was either unreasonable or out of scope to
   attempt to avoid these denial of service attacks."
* Section 9 now contains a statement that AODVv2 doesn’t support RREQs for prefixes, I hope that clears things up for Thomas.

TO DO:
————
* Most notable of the 29 JWDs that are yet to be resolved:
+ /(is there some table that lists routes that are being waited on? JWD) /We decided to add a separate
RREP table that lists them and I’ve volunteered to write text for that, but we’re currently discussing if/how
           we might solve this without adding yet another table.

+ We’re currently discussing the approaching the limit thing. (i.e.
/ (There is no defined behavior here. Approaching the limit? Section 6.5 outlines which messages are more important but now how to decide to allow them to be transmitted or not. JWD /
  and
/  (The undefined approaching the limit thing again JWD) etc/
We’ve already clarified the wording regarding what the limit is and how to prioritize the message types,
what’s left is to define what „approaching“ means (and whether we need to talk about approaching rather than
just saying „here’s what to do when you actually hit the limit").

+ (I don’t want to spam the list with a comprehensive list of all of them, but if you’re interested in seeing them,
please do say so and I’ll send my copy of Justin’s review containing all TODOs and DONEs to the list)
* some TODOs in security considerations (see [1])
* since we're waiting for Chris’ feedback regarding the revised 5444 multiplexer wording, that hasn’t changed yet.

More details can be found in Appendix A. AODVv2 Draft Updates, as well as the diff, of course.

Best regards,
Lotte
