IETF 121 SAVNET Minutes

1.  Intra-domain SAVNET architecture(Lancheng Qin)

Peter Psenak: Support the idea.

Joel:  Understand the edge deployment is simpler. Concerned about the
incremental deployment. Doc must be clear about this scenario.

Lancheng: Should first define full deployment, and then show incremental
deployment benefits.

2. Source Prefix Advertisement for Intra-domain SAVNET (Lancheng Qin)

No question

3. Intra-domain SAVNET Support via IGP & Intra-domain SAV Support via BGP
(Shengnan Yue)

Peter: How to deal with FRR cases on intermediate routers when something fails?

Shengnan: We calculate path based on connectivity. FRR won’t affect the result.

Aijun: In your solution all the interfaces are allowed.

Peter: Take this offline.

Lancheng: Go to page 4. It’s not asymmetric routing scenario. So it doesn’t
address the problem in the PS document.

Joel: Thank for running tests. May need more complex topology for evaluation
and show how to cope with all kinds of scenarios which are very useful.

Weiqiang: For FRR, all nodes running IGP are dynamically updating the routing
information, so we have some functions. We need some extra text in the draft.
Chongfeng: How to verify the source address for SRv6 paths?

Weiqiang: Interesting point. SRv6 is HbH. We don’t support it now and it’s out
of scope.

Joel: In SRv6 you are checking the tunnel address. It’s a different kind of
question and we need to be careful. It’s not out of scope but we need to be
careful.

Aijun: More discussion on the list.

4. General Source Address Validation Capabilities (Mingqing Huang)

XXX: Go to the comment page. Computation is also a limitation in addition to
memory.

Mingqing: Right, it’s a dataplane design challenge.

Aijun: You can raise the question in the mailing list to ask for opinions.

5.  Remote Measurement of Outbound Source Address Validation Deployment (Shuai
Wang)

No question.

6.  Inter-domain Source Address Validation (SAVNET) Architecture  (Libin Liu)

Sriram: Thank you for considering the comments on the mailing list. Two main
issues: Prioritization of different types of data sources (removed now); and
SAV specific data and protocol. About hidden AS and security issues.

Libin: We’ll consider the details in the solution.

7.  Update on the BAR-SAV draft  (K. Sriram)

Aijun: Go to slide 6. Why you get all prefixes in ROA?

Sriram: We want to be prepared for that.

Aijun: So you allow all the prefixes.

Sriram: Yes that are legitimate on the basis of GDP

Aijun: More efficient method can be found.

Mingqing: In short term can we get the information by local management?

Sriram: yes. Can discuss on the mailing list.

Maria: Is that a good idea to use BGP community to send information?

Sriram: Consider security and abuse. Like to discuss with you in more detail.

Azimov: Do you propose to apply it on customer facing links?

Sriam: No

Azimov: Two comments. The  second is a general concern on the  last slide. It
may affect your network connectivity. May cause packet loss. So I see her the
possibility of false positives.

Siriam: Talk offline.

Azimov: I would agree in the ideal situation. But not in the incremental
deployment scenario.

Sriram: ok to have extra few prefixes in the allow list. Being conservative is
favorable.

8.  Bicone Source Address Validation (Lancheng Qin)

No question.

9.  BGP Operations for Inter-domain SAVNET (Xueyan Song)

Libin: How does this address the problem in the inter-domain PS draft?

Xueyan: This draft is mainly for multi-homing scenarios.

Libin: We can discuss offline.

Aijun: You should compare with the inter-domain architecture and solutions.

10.  Source Address Validation Enhanced by Network Controller (Tian Tong)

Jeffery Haas: BGP LS distributes is traffic engineering interfaces rather than
IGP topology. It’s not guaranteed base case for BGP LS to carry IGP topology.
Should note in your proposal.

Tian: ok

Lancheng: You introduce a high level idea but no solution. How this can address
the problem in PS document.

Tian: Will talk offline to figure out solution.

Michael: This is a centralized control system which is challenging. What kind
of information to collect and what kind algorithm is feasible?

Tian: Now it’s overall and general solution. Will add details.

11.  Segment Routing Policy-Based Source Address Validation (SAV)  (Xueting Li)

Lancheng: Go to Page 4. Another use case is edge only SAV which cannot protect
against malicious traffic from internal nodes. The early version of the
intro-domain PS doc has a scenario about malicious internal nodes which was
removed because it is not really happened.

Xueting : Internal nodes may attempt to send malicious traffic through a
non-standard path set which is not detected.

Lancheng: It’s not easy to find which router is trusted or not. Suggest
focusing on spoofing traffic from the host.

Xueting: Ok.

Maria: If host is able to spoof some traffic,  isn't that host also able to
spoof the routing traffic?

Aijun: Please take the question to the mailing list.

12.  A Profile of Signed SAVNET-Peering Information (SiSPI) Object for
Deploying Inter-domain  (Libin Liu)

No question.

Time out, cut off 3 scheduled talks.
