  1. Framework & Requirementsfor an Access Node Control Mechanism in Broadband Multi-Service NetworksIETF 66 - ANCP WGJuly 9-14, 2006 draft-ooghe-ancp-framework-00.txt Presenter: Stefaan De Cnodder

  2. History • Jan 2006: draft-ooghe-l2cp-framework-00.txt submitted for L2CP BOF • May 2006: draft-ooghe-ancp-framework-00.txt • Additional author • Generally reworked to be consistent with the ANCP charter • Terminology • Use case descriptions • Added requirements • General Protocol • Access Node

  3. Outline • ANCP concept • Reference architecture • Home Gateway, Access Node, Aggregation Network, NAS • ANCP transport mechanisms • ATM => DSL Forum TR-059 • Ethernet => DSL Forum TR-101 • Use cases • Dynamic Access Loop Attributes • Access Loop Configuration • Remote Connectivity Test • Multicast • Requirements • Protocol requirements • Access node requirements

  5. Use Case 1 - Dynamic Access Loop Attributes • Communicating Access Loop attributes • Beneficial since the Access Loop rate may change overtime • NAS gains knowledge about the topology of the access network (e.g. for QoS scheduling)

  6. Use Case 2 - Access Loop Configuration • Change Access Loop parameters (e.g. rate) from the NAS • Avoids cross-organization business-to-business interactions • Allows to centralize Subscriber-related service data in e.g. a policy server • The best way to change Access Loop parameters is by using profiles • pre-configured on the Access Node using EMS • Mechanism could be used for additional parameters (e.g. QoS)

  7. Use Case 3 – Remote Connectivity Test • NAS can use ANCP to initiate an Access Loop test between Access Node and HGW • Allows mixedATM/Ethernet environment • Supports multiple Access Loop technologies (e.g. ATM/ADSL, Ethernet/VDSL) • Preserve existing operational functionality

  8. Use Case 4 - Multicast • Resource efficient multicast gets increasingly important => local replication! • Assumption: IGMP processing in access/aggregation used for replication control • ANCP could be used to exchange information between Access Node and the NAS • allow the Access Node to perform replication in line with the Subscriber's policy and configuration • allow the NAS to follow each Subscriber's multicast group membership

  9. Requirements • Protocol requirements • functional requirements • protocol design requirements (e.g., should include keep-alive, ...) • transport of ANCP over ATM/Ethernet network • Access Node Architecture • e.g., Partitioning, Redundant controllers • Access Node Control Connection attributes • e.g., processing must be timely fashion, Vlans for ANCP must be configurable, ... • Capability Negotiation • Adjacency Protocol • Access Node Identification • In line with TR-101 (e.g. Access-Node-Identifier atm slot/port:vpi.vci) • Message Handling • Damping • Bundling • Access Node Parameter Control

  10. Next steps • Add NAS requirements • Check details for multicast use case • Work out the security considerations • Work out element management / policy management section • Use as baseline for ANCP framework WG document?
