Report November 2007
Date: 20 November 2007
RFC3588bis
No open issues. 4 weeks last call starting 20th November 2007.
WGLC will also be sent to OMA, TISPAN, 3GPP, ITU-T
Diameter MIPv6: NAS - HAAA Support
Update submitted. Clarification only. 2nd WGLC not necessary.
Diameter MIPv6: HA - HAAA Support
Update submitted 2nd WGLC necessary (4 weeks)
WGLC will also be sent to 3GPP, 3GPP2, WIMAX
Quality of Service Parameters for Usage with the AAA Framework
1st WGLC raised some misalignment between TSVWG and NSIS regarding the registry allocation
AI: Send a mail to the TSVWG and NSIS chairs, Transport ADs & Dan
AI: Give a presentation about the DIME work in the next RADEXT session at IETF#70.
Migration strategy for the RADIUS to Diameter is that Diameter supports all the RADIUS
functionality.
Quality of Service Attributes for Diameter
Update based on 1st WGLC. 2nd WGLC necessary
Diameter QoS
Updated document with more details on push scenario.
Framework related parts removed. Not clear how to treat the framework related aspects.
Diameter Applications Design Guidelines
Updated document; one more version needed (after Vancouver); additional guidance with regard to the AVP flag table will be provided.
WGLC in December
Raise alignment with 3gpp with Hannu
Diameter API
Hannes went through the document to prepare a PROTO writeup. In consultation with Victor a couple of issue
with regard to the literature references, formal language for the C-alike syntax and other PROTO review criteria
were discovered. A draft update is necessary to fix these bugs before the PROTO writeup will be sent to the
IESG. Update planned around the IETF#70 meeting.
Charter & Milestone Update
Updated. discussions and preparation work during the meeting in Vancouver.
Rechartering will most likely be done during Jan. 2008.
Report October 2007
Date: 22 October 2007
RFC3588bis
However, a couple of new issues got posted to the list, and resolved.
A draft update with these changes is imminent.
Both open issues from the last month are still open.
Diameter MIPv6: NAS - HAAA Support
The WGLC was done as planned. A new draft update is not necessary.
Diameter MIPv6: HA - HAAA Support
The WGLC was initiated as planned, see
http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dime/current/msg02063.html
A few comments were received that require a draft update.
Quality of Service Parameters for Usage with the AAA Framework
The WGLC was initiated as planned, see
http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dime/current/msg02062.html
Based on the review comments a new version of the document has to be prepared. The discussions are, however, still in progress.
Quality of Service Attributes for Diameter and RADIUS
The WGLC was initiated as planned, see
http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dime/current/msg02064.html
Based on the review comments a new version of the document has to be prepared. The discussions are, however, still in progress.
Diameter QoS
The document needs to cover the push and the pull scenario. The framework specific part that explain how the different documents fit together will be moved into a framework specific document (at least that's the current proposal).
Diameter Applications Design Guidelines
Draft update was submitted to improve the presentation style. The planned WGLC (Dec. 2007) is still accomplishable.
Charter & Milestone Update
We need todo a short milestone update now. Then, after we sent a few documents to the IESG we should recharter.
Report August 2007
Date: 19 August 2007
During the last month there was the IETF meeting. The meeting minutes are here:
http://www3.ietf.org/proceedings/07jul/minutes/dime.txt
RFC3588bis
There are two open issues with RFC3588bis:
Planned WGLC: End of October 2007
Diameter MIPv6: NAS - HAAA Support
No open issues known
Planned WGLC: August 2007
Diameter MIPv6: HA - HAAA Support
The introduction of the MIPv6 Auth protocol support damaged the structure of the document a bit. The document structure needs to be revisited. This work is currently ongoing.
Planned WGLC: October 2007
Quality of Service Parameters for Usage with the AAA Framework
A minor update regarding the QoS parameters is necessary. This update will be provided within the next 2 weeks.
Planned WGLC: September 2007
Quality of Service Attributes for Diameter and RADIUS
This document also requires an update regarding the alignment with the QoS parameters.
The support of RADIUS is still pending and might introduce problems given the currently selected attribute encoding.
Planned WGLC: September 2007
Diameter QoS
Action item for Hannes: Determine next steps for a potential document restructuring.
Planned WGLC: Unknown
Diameter Applications Design Guidelines
It is necessary to create another draft update to reflect recently received review comments, namely:
- More clarification on application versioning using optional avps.
- Comments centered around vendor specific command code allocation
- Editorials.
When the WGLC is issued then the document will be sent for review to other SDOs, such as 3GPP, OMA, ITU-T, TISPAN, and 3GPP2.
Planned WGLC: December 2007
AAA Framework for Multicasting
A request for review has been received relating to the document "AAA Framework for Multicasting" which is under development within the MBONED WG. The document is available for inspection here:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-mboned-multiaaa-framework-04.txt
We appointed the following reviewers:
More reviewers are welcome.
Report July 2007
Date: 16 July 2007
This report covers June 2007 and the first two weeks of July 2007 (till the draft submission deadline).
Diameter Mobility
We have made progress with both mobility documents. Here are the updated versions:
Diameter Mobile IPv6: Support for Home Agent to Diameter Server Interaction
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dime-mip6-split-04.txt
Changes between -01 and -04:
http://tools.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url1=http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-dime-mip6-split-01.txt&url2=http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-dime-mip6-split-04.txt
- Editorial Changes
- The draft now addresses the Mobile IPv6 Authentication Option as requested by MIP6 WG participants. The AVPs have been re-used from RFC 4004.
- Accounting part is now specified.
- There are two usages defined in the document now:
- Diameter EAP is used for bootstrapping with IKEv2 (for the authentication part).
- A new application defined for usage with the Mobile IPv6 Authentication Option.
- The MIP6-Feature-Vector AVP is imported from draft-ietf-dime-mip6-integrated-05.txt
Diameter Mobile IPv6: Support for Network Access Server to Diameter Server Interaction
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dime-mip6-integrated-05.txt
Changes between -03 and 05:
http://tools.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url1=http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-dime-mip6-integrated-03.txt&url2=http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-dime-mip6-integrated-05.txt
- Two AVPs from RFC 4004 have been re-used: MIP-Home-Agent-Address & MIP-Home-Agent-Host
- A MIP6 feature vector has been introduced that plays the role of a capability indicator
- Example updated
- Editorial changes
Particularly with the alignment with the Diameter Mobile IPv4 Application
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4004.txt is important when it comes to the support for the Mobile IPv6 Authentication Option.
The Authentication Protocol for MIP6 is described in these documents.
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-mip6-rfc4285bis-00.txt
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4285.txt
Another aspect is the alignment between the Mobile IPv4 Challenge/Response Extensions (Revised) (RFC 4721)
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4721.txt and the Authentication Protocol for MIP6. We currently re-use the Diameter MIPv4 Application AVPs that are focused on RFC 4721 in the assumption that RFC 4721 and RFC 4285 are similar if not the same. It needs to be investigated whether this assumption is true.
There is also a RADIUS MIP6 document that needs to be aligned with the DIME working group documents. Here is the document:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-mip6-radius-02.txt
The alignment has NOT yet been done.
Diameter QoS
The Diameter QoS application document has been updated
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dime-diameter-qos-01
and the main changes are:
http://tools.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-dime-diameter-qos-01.txt
- Additional author added, namely Dong Sun
- Framework section updated. It now contains a discussion about different end point capabilities
- Authorizing Entity definition updated
- Push & Pull Mode term added
- The authorization schemes section has been added again.
- All AVPs that are now defined in http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dime-qos-attributes-01.txt have been removed from this document and a reference to them is included.
As you have seen from the discussions on the mailing list there are still some controversial issues around parts of the document.
Diameter QoS Attributes
This document has also experienced a major update.
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dime-qos-attributes-01.txt
Changes are:
http://tools.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url1=http://tools.ietf.org/wg/dime/draft-korhonen-dime-qos-attributes-00.txt&url2=http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-dime-qos-attributes-01.txt
- A number of examples have been added
- All attributes are now defined and utilize the draft-ietf-radext-filter-rules-03 document.
- A QoS-Capability AVP has been added to convey information about the available QoS models.
It is still an open issue whether this document should provide the corresponding RADIUS QoS functionality via the Diameter RADIUS Interoperability. The
http://tools.ietf.org/wg/radext/draft-tschofenig-radext-qos-05.txt document is therefore out-of-date with respect to the alignment with the corresponding Diameter work.
Diameter Auditing
There are two active drafts on this topic:
Work on the mailing list is ongoing in matching the needs for state recovery identified in draft-asveren-dime-state-recovery-01 with mechanisms for resource management included into draft-bodin-dime-auditing-reqs-02 from draft-calhoun-diameter-res-mgmt-08 (expired). The result of this matching (including identification of additional mechanisms) will be presented at the Chicago meeting
Diameter API
The PROTO write-up has been written for
http://tools.ietf.org/wg/dime/draft-ietf-dime-diameter-api/ and will be send to the IESG during this week.
Diameter Design Guidelines
http://www.opendiameter.org/public/draft-ietf-dime-app-design-guide-01-from-2.diff.html
A minor update was made between -00 and -01:
http://tools.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-dime-app-design-guide-01.txt
After detailed review comments have been posted to the list the structure of the document was changed. The new document is here:
http://www.opendiameter.org/public/draft-ietf-dime-app-design-guide-02.txt
The change history can be found here:
http://www.opendiameter.org/public/draft-ietf-dime-app-design-guide-01-from-2.diff.html
Diameter Base Document
Two versions have been submitted in the last month.
The deltas between 04 and 05 versions are as follows:
- 05 includes proposals for 20, 56, 57
- Open issues: 35, 39, 55, 58
#35 and #39 are still open from previous revs. We probably need to get this resolved soon. Suggestions on how to do this is described below.
#55 A change in command code allocation process. See editor's note in the bis document
#58 Possible error in IANA registration. Should be easily fixed.
The diff's between 05 and 04 is available here:
http://www.opendiameter.org/public/draft-ietf-dime-rfc3588bis-05-from-4.diff.html

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dime-diameter-qos-00.txt
and
http://tools.ietf.org/wg/dime/draft-sun-dime-diameter-resource-control-requirements-01.txt
draft-korhonen-dime-qos-parameters-00.txt and draft-korhonen-dime-qos-attributes-00.txt will become working group items.
The updated draft will consider the alignment with the ongoing filter rule work in RADEXT.
Diameter Mobile IPv6
A new version of the "Diameter Mobile IPv6: Support for Network Access Server to Diameter Server Interaction" was submitted that addresses the previously open issues. The new draft version is here:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dime-mip6-integrated-04
An update for the "Diameter Mobile IPv6: HA <-> HAAA Support" document is in progress. It will addres the open issues mentioned in the status update of last month.
Diameter Base Protocol Update
A new draft update is in progress. There are, however, a few tough issue left for discussion.
Victor will send an update to the list.
