My basic concern is that if we go down the path you outline, it would suggest to the reader that the SFC working group expected to address the SF dimensions of the problem. I grant that they are real problems. But the SFC working group has neither the charter nor the expertise to address those problems. As far as I can tell, ART may have the expertise, and may not. And has shown no interest in the problem. So I am very reluctant to put a lot of verbiage into the RFC on SF monitoring.

Given the above, can you live with Nagendra's text that you quote?

Yours,
Joel

Joel,

Nagendra suggested "The task of evaluating the true availability of a Service Function is a complex activity, currently having no simple, unified solution.  There is currently no standard means of doing so. Any such mechanism would be far from a typical OAM function, so it is not explored as part of the analysis in Sections 4 and 5." in the related thread for discussion on availability. https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/sfc/1ZsLw6m1OeJRJfHW2TygxOyKPJk/

It could well be that my expectations for a framework document differ from that of others. So please take this as a personal perspective.
My expectation for a framework document is that it identifies and describes the components for a solution. It can optionally also hint at potential approaches to a solution (independently whether these solution are already in scope of the WG or not), but does not have to provide these solutions. The document does a good job at most of these - but misses out on those things, where we currently don't really have a solution available, which are questions like
* How do we define availability for a SFC at service level? How do we define availability for a SF?
* How do we define performance for a SFC at service level? How do we define performance for a SF?
Right now the document focuses on those pieces of SF/SFC availability and performance that are connectivity related ("Packets traverse it").

A potential approach could be to decompose the problem, using the structure the document lays out - and put this into the context of SLA definitions.

Why can we just say for e.g. SFC performance that SFC performance is a composite of
* link layer performance,
* underlay performance,
* overlay performance,
* service layer performance.
A SFC OAM solution needs to consider the performance measures across all those layers.
Consequently, for the performance of a SF, one needs to consider the aspects at each layer:
* link layer - Example "how well is the SF connected at e.g. Ethernet layer?" -> example: Leverage ITU-T Y.1731
* underlay - Example "how well is the SF connected at e.g. IP layer?" -> example: Leverage OWAMP/TWAMP
* overlay - Example "how well is the SF connected at e.g. NSH layer?"
* service layer - Example "how well does the SF meet the criteria of an SLA?"
So e.g. 3.1.2 and 3.2.2 could explicitly expand on these aspects and state that apart from connectivity level measures (loss, throughput), service level criteria, typically defined as part of an SLA, are included in SFC performance characterization. IMHO this is a better approach, than either say "SF availability is a hard problem" (which is what Nagendra says in the above statement - and which is of course true) or just define the service aspects as out of scope for SFC OAM ("how clean are the clothes when returned from the laundry?").

My 2cents..

Cheers, Frank

the discussions with the various ADs.)

If you can see a place to add text, please propose text.

Hi Frank,

Thank you for the review. Please see inline for the response..


       Reviewer: Frank Brockners
       Review result: Ready with Nits

       This document has been reviewed as part of the transport area
review
team's
       ongoing effort to review key IETF documents. These comments
were
written
       primarily for the transport area directors, but are copied to
the
document's
       authors and WG to allow them to address any issues raised and
also to the IETF
       discussion list for information.

       When done at the time of IETF Last Call, the authors should consider
this
       review as part of the last-call comments they receive. Please always CC
       tsv-art@xxxxxxxx if you reply to or forward this review.

       This document provides a reference framework for OAM for SFC.

       Comments:

       Section 3.1.1 SF availability: The text makes explicit reference to
multiple
       instances of a SF. Consequently, it should be defined how
availability of a
SF
       is computed/determined in case multiple instances are deployed.

<Nagendra> This is already clarified in the section as below:

"For cases where
      multiple instances of an SF are used to realize a given SF for the
      purpose of load sharing, SF availability can be performed by checking
      the availability of any one of those instances, or the availability
      check may be targeted at a specific instance."

This further
       leads to the question, whether availability is always a "binary" state
       (available / not-available), or could a SF be e.g. 99% available?

<Nagendra>The availability is measured as binary state. I am not
sure what is 99% available. If it means getting 99 responses for
100 probes sent, I think it falls under packet loss category which
in turn is
performance measurement.

...FB: Thanks. Though I'm still not entirely following. If
availability is binary and
I put the statements above together, what would be the availability
of the following setup: There is an SF that is made up of 100
instances. 99 of these instances are powered down entirely. And the 1
instance that is "up" is alternating between servicing requests for
10min followed by not servicing requests for 10min. Would the SF be
considered "available"?


Section 3.1.2
       SF performance: What is the impact of a "multiple instance SF
deployment" on SF
       performance measurement?

<Nagendra>I think we covered this in SF availability but not here.
Does the below updated text look better?

OLD:
On the one hand, the performance of any specific SF can be quantified
      by measuring the loss and delay metrics of the traffic from SFF to
      the respective SF, while on the other hand, the performance can be
      measured by leveraging the loss and delay metrics from the respective
      SFs.  The latter requires SF involvement to perform the measurement
      while the former does not.

NEW:
On the one hand, the performance of any specific SF can be quantified
      by measuring the loss and delay metrics of the traffic from SFF to
      the respective SF, while on the other hand, the performance can be
      measured by leveraging the loss and delay metrics from the respective
      SFs.  The latter requires SF involvement to perform the measurement
      while the former does not. For cases where
      multiple instances of an SF are used to realize a given SF for the
      purpose of load sharing, SF performance can be quantified by measuring
      the metrics for any one instance of SF or by measuring the metrics for
      a specific instance.

The section only talks about loss and delay as
       performance criteria. It would be good to state that other
performance criteria
       (e.g. specific to the SF, throughput, etc.) exist.

<Nagendra> We can add the below to Section 3.1.2:

NEW:
"The metrics measured to quantify the performance of the SF
component is not just limited to loss and delay. Other metrics such
as throughout also exist and the choice of metrics for performance
measurement is outside the scope of this document."

Section 3.2.1 SFC
       availability: The current definition is very focused on connectivity
       verification, i.e. it tries to answer the question: "Does my SFC transport
       packets?". IMHO we should also ask the question "Does my SFC
process
the
       packets correctly?" - because if packets are not processed per the SFC
       definition, we might not call the SFC available.

<Nagendra> I think this is already handled by SF availability. The
end-to-end SFC availability is verified by steering the OAM packet
over the ordered set of SFs within the SFC. This is more like daisy
chaining the availability of SFs within the SFC to determine
end-to-end SFC availability. If the derived solution verifies the
SF availability not just based on the uptime but based on the
service treatment, it also answers the question "Does my SFC
process the packets
correctly". Let us know if there is any further clarity required.

While 3.2.2 states that "any
       SFC-aware network device should have the ability to make performance
       measurements" a similar statement isn't found in 3.2.1. IMHO
the ability
for
       availability checks is probably a prerequisite for
performance
measurement.

<Nagendra> The ability to perform end-to-end or partial SFC
availability verification is already mentioned in section 3.2.1 as below:

" In order to perform service connectivity verification of an SFC/SFP,
      the OAM functions could be initiated from any SFC-aware network
      devices of an SFC-enabled domain for end-to-end paths, or partial
      paths terminating on a specific SF, within the SFC/SFP"

Please let us know if you have any suggestion to improve if there
is a lack of clarity.

       Section 3.2.2 SFC performance measurement: The section only
mentions the need
       for performance measurement. It misses the definition of what
SFC performance
       measurement is.

<Nagendra>

...FB: Thanks for the suggested updates, which would definitively
improve the
text. One problem about SFC performance remains though IMHO.
All the text so far is focused on the connectivity within a SFC -
not the service
itself. I.e. If you'd consider a "laundry service" - we focus a lot
on how long it takes to get the clothes shipped to and from the
washing machine, but we don't focus on how well the washing machine
washes the clothes.
IMHO we should either expand on the performance of the SFC and SF
wrt/ the
service (especially given that you define a service layer in section
2) - or clearly state that the framework would just focus on connectivity
between SFs.



Section 3.3. Classifier component: The section mentions the
       need for the ability to perform performance measurement of the
classifier
       component. What is performance measurement of the classifier?
What
does
       performance measurement of the classifier component comprise?

<Nagendra>We can add the below text:

OLD:
Any SFC-aware network device should have the ability to perform
      performance measurement of the classifier component for each SFC.

NEW:
Any SFC-aware network device should have the ability to perform
      performance measurement of the classifier component for each SFC.
       The performance can be quantified by measuring the
performance metrics of the
        traffic from the classifier for each SFC/SFP.

Section 3.4. /
       3.5. Availability/PM of the underlay and overlay network: It
would be good
to
       add a sentence that states that the mechanisms for
availability/PM which
are
       offered by the technologies used by the overlay/underlay are
used, rather than
       new methods specifically for SFC would be defined.

<Nagendra>Yes, that makes sense. Please check the below text:

OLD:
Any SFC-aware network device may have the ability to perform
      availability check or performance measurement of the overlay network.

NEW:
Any SFC-aware network device may have the ability to perform
      availability check or performance measurement of the overlay network.
Any
      existing OAM tools and techniques can be leveraged for this purpose.

Section 4. SFC OAM
       Functions: It would be good, if examples in section 4 could
also include
more
       "recent" methods such as OWAMP/TWAMP (RFC4656, RFC 5357).

<Nagendra>

OLD:
Delay within an SFC could be measured based on the time it takes for
      a packet to traverse the SFC from the ingress SFC node to the egress
      SFF.  As SFCs are unidirectional in nature, measurement of one-way
      delay [RFC7679] is important.  In order to measure one-way delay,
      time synchronization MUST be supported by means such as NTP, PTP,
      GPS, etc.

NEW:
Delay within an SFC could be measured based on the time it takes for
      a packet to traverse the SFC from the ingress SFC node to the egress
      SFF.  Measurement protocols such as One-way Active Measurement
       Protocol (OWAMP) [RFC4656], Two-way Active Measurement Protocol
      (TWAMP) [RFC5357] can be used to measure the characteristics. As
      SFCs are unidirectional in nature, measurement of one-way
      delay [RFC7679] is important.  In order to measure one-way delay,
      time synchronization MUST be supported by means such as NTP,
Precision Time Protocol (PTP),
      GPS, etc.

Section 4.4.
       Performance Measurement: Focus is entirely on the PM of the
connectivity,
       rather than on the SF. How about covering PM for the SF as well?

<Nagendra> I am not sure I understand what is missing. Do you have
any suggestion for the text improvement?.

...FB: See above. This would be about adding a capability to assess
how well
the washing machine washes my laundry.


Section 5.1
       OAM Tool Gap Analysis:
        - Not sure what "NVo3 OAM" refers to. Could that be
explained below the table
        and in section 1.2.1?

<Nagendra> Combining this with other below queries as they appears
to be related.

- E-OAM needs to be detailed. Is seems that CFM
        (802.1ag) and not 802.3ah is refered to here.

<Nagendra> Per my understanding, 802.ah is 1-hop while 802.3ag can
be more than 1 hop and both uses Ethernet frames. So I think both
are
applicable here.
My response regarding E-OAM details in this section is combined below.

...FB: Maybe I missed it - but I don't see text that refers to CFM or EFM
OAM.
Where is this covered? IMHO we would need references to IEEE
standards to avoid confusion.


- "Trace" in the "Trace" column
        need to be extended on. Is this traceroute? Paris-Traceroute?
IOAM- Loopback?

        IPPM needs to be detailed, because IPPM is not a tool as
such but an IETF WG.
        Does this refer to OWAMP/TWAMP/etc. as defined by IPPM?

<Nagendra> Combining the above queries.

OLD:
There are various OAM tool sets available to perform OAM functions
      within various layers.  These OAM functions may be used to validate
      some of the underlay and overlay networks.  Tools like ping and trace
      are in existence to perform connectivity check and tracing of
      intermediate hops in a network.  These tools support different
      network types like IP, MPLS, TRILL, etc.  There is also an effort to
      extend the tool set to provide connectivity and continuity checks
      within overlay networks.  BFD is another tool which helps in
      detecting data forwarding failures.  Table 3 below is not
exhaustive

E-OAM offers OAM mechanisms such as an Ethernet continuity check
for Ethernet links. There is an effort around NVO3 OAM to provide
connectivity and continuity checks for networks that use NVO3.  BFD
is used for the detection of data plane forwarding failures.

...FB: Check whether NVO3 WG will indeed deliver a solution and "NVO3
OAM"
indeed existis. If in doubt, it might be better to avoid forward
looking references. Per my note above, it would be good to explicitly
refer to IEEE standards as opposed to introducing a new term like "E-OAM".


The IPPM framework [RFC 2330] offers tools such as OWAMP [RFC4656]
and TWAMP [RFC5357] (collectively referred as IPPM in this section)
to measure various performance metrics. MPLS Packet Loss
Measurement
(LM) and Packet Delay Measurement (DM) (collectively referred as
MPLS_PM in this section) [RFC6374] offers the ability to measure
performance metrics in MPLS network.

Table 3 below is not exhaustive.

Section 6.4.3 IOAM:
       - The section states that IOAM "may be used to perform various SFC
OAM
       functions as well". It would be good to expand on this statement: E.g.
IOAM
       Trace-Option Type could be leveraged for SFC tracing. IOAM
Direct-Export Option
       Type could be leveraged. - How would we deal with the IOAM Active
Flag
       (draft-ietf-ippm-ioam-flags-01) when used with SFC OAM?

<Nagendra> The intention of the section is to highlight the
applicability of different OAM toolsets for OAM functions at
service layer. I am not sure if we really should try explaining all
the possible options within each tool. But I agree that it is worth
clarifying the availability of IOAM options for tracing. think we
can clarify that different IOAM Option-Types are available for OAM
functions
such as SFC tracing. Can you check if the below looks ok?

OLD:
[I-D.ietf-sfc-ioam-nsh] defines how In-Situ OAM data fields are
      transported using NSH header.  [I-D.ietf-sfc-proof-of-transit]
      defines a mechanism to perform proof of transit to securely verify if
      a packet traversed the relevant SFP or SFC.  While the mechanism is
      defined inband (i.e., it will be included in data packets), it may be
      used to perform various SFC OAM functions as well.

NEW:
[I-D.ietf-sfc-ioam-nsh] defines how In-Situ OAM data fields are
      transported using NSH header.  [I-D.ietf-sfc-proof-of-transit]
      defines a mechanism to perform proof of transit to securely verify if
      a packet traversed the relevant SFP or SFC.  While the mechanism is
      defined inband (i.e., it will be included in data packets), IOAM Option-
Types
     such as IOAM Trace Option-Types can also be used to perform
other SFC OAM function
     such as SFC tracing.

- The text states
       "In-Situ OAM could be used with O bit set": Why would IOAM be
used with
the
       overflow bit set for SFC OAM? For details on IOAM's O-bit,
see section
4.4.1 in
       https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ippm-ioam-data-09.

<Nagendra> The O bit referred here is not the O bit in IOAM but the
one in NSH/Overlay header. To avoid any confusion, this can be
updated as
below:

OLD:
In-Situ OAM could be used with O bit set to perform SF availability
      and SFC availability or performance measurement.

NEW:
In-Situ OAM could be used with O bit in the overlay header set, to
perform SF availability
      and SFC availability or performance measurement.

... FB: Ah, ok. Given that this section is about IOAM and not NSH,
I'd rather
explicitly refer to NSH here. E.g. If SFC is realized using NSH, then
the O-bit in the NSH header could be used to indicated OAM traffic.
You could refer to
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-sfc-ioam-nsh-03#section-4.2 explicitly.


Section 6.4.4 SFC
       Traceroute: - This section refers to an expired draft (even calling out
the
       fact that the draft has exipred), but also mentions that functionality is
       available and implemented in OpenDaylight. Consider removing
the references to
       the expired draft and rather add references to OpenDaylight
documents. - IOAM
       Loopback (see draft-ietf-ippm-ioam-flags-01) could apply SFC
Traceroute as well.

<Nagendra>Ok. Let me check if I can find some reference for ODL.

       Detailed set of nits that I encountered while reading through

       [176] "OAM Controller" not defined

<Nagendra>We can change it as below:

OLD:
OAM controllers are assumed to be within the same administrative

NEW:
OAM controllers are SFC-aware network devices that are capable of

...FB: How about we explain this in the document?


[254] What does "tight coupling"
       between the link layer and the physical technology mean?

<Nagendra>I am not sure I understand the nit here. Do you see any
difficulty in parsing the sentence?

what is
"tight coupling" vs. "not tight coupling"?

...FB: Hmm. I did not see that RFC7665 is only about equal cost multipath.

    [521] Not sure whether the overlay network establishes the service

Isn't
       it that the overlay network establishes connectivity for the SFC-related
       functions in the service plane?

<Nagendra> The service layer is established over the overlay
network layer. I am not sure if it is right to say overlay network
provides connectivity for service layer (.

it. So it is
required but not sufficient.

<Nagendra> TTL is listed as well-known abbrev in https://www.rfc-
editor.org/materials/abbrev.expansion.txt and so we left it as it is.
TTL in this document refers to NSH TTL field.

...FB: Let's ensure we refer to NSH TTL in this case. Given that SFC
can be done
with other means than NSH, implicit reference to NSH might be a problem.

SFC OAM

       would need to be forwarded the same as live user traffic.

<Nagendra> As it is intending to derive the approximate loss value,
I am not sure if we need this additional consideration that the OAM
packet would need to follow the live user traffic. Let me know if
you think
otherwise.

...FB: IMHO we should - given that it is one potential complication.


    [636] Is uppercase
       "MUST" applicable to an informational document? Especially given that
       RFC2119/RFC8174 is explicitly referenced by the draft.

<Nagendra> Based on various reviewer comments, we removed the use
of any normative statement.

[666] Add MPLS, TRILL to
       acronyms in 1.2.1

<Nagendra> Ok. Done.

[678] s/exhaustive/exhaustive./

<Nagendra> Done.

[720] Is uppercase "SHOULD" applicable to an informational document?
       Especially given that RFC2119/RFC8174 is explicitly
referenced by the
draft.

<Nagendra> Based on various reviewer comments, we removed the use
of any normative statement.

[722] Is uppercase "MAY" applicable to an informational document?
Especially
       given that RFC2119/RFC8174 is explicitly referenced by the draft.

<Nagendra> Based on various reviewer comments, we removed the use
of any normative statement.

[754]
       s/packet/packets/

[755] s/to next node/to the next node/

    [771] How does this
       requirement align with the earlier paragraph, e.g. in case a
node sends an ICMP
       reply? It would probably make sense to scope the statement to e.g.
NSH.

<Nagendra> As mentioned in the statement, the node that initiates
the OAM packet must set the marker and so this statement is
applicable for the initiating node.

[806]
       s/function/functions/

<Nagendra> Done

[809] s/from relevant node/from the relevant node/

<Nagendra> Done

[810]
       s/generate ICMP/generate an ICMP/

<Nagendra> Done

[812] s/from last/from the last/

<Nagendra> Done

[830]
       s/perform continuity/perform the continuity/

<Nagendra> Done

    [834] s/with relevant/with the
       relevant

<Nagendra> Done

[835] s/perform partial SFC availability./perform a partial SFC
       availability check./

<Nagendra> Done

[851] For "In-Situ OAM data fields" add a normative
       reference to draft-ietf-ippm-ioam-data

[905] Add "CLI" to section 1.2.1
       acronyms

<Nagendra> Done

[920] Add a reference for NETCONF ->RFC6241

<Nagendra> Done

Once again, thanks a lot for the great comments.

Regards,
Nagendra

Thanks again for considering the comments in great detail. Much
appreciated.

Cheers, Frank
