Abstract This memo describes how to efficiently use the ATM call control signalling procedures defined in UNI 4.0 [UNI96] to support IP over ATM environments as described in RFC 1577 [LAUB94] and in [KATZ96]. Among the new features found in UNI 4.0 signalling are Available Bit Rate (ABR) signalling and traffic parameter negotiation. This initial draft highlights the features of UNI 4.0 signalling that provide IP entities capabilities for requesting ATM service in sites with SVC support, whether it is private ATM or publicly provisioned ATM, in which case the SVC support is probably configured inside PVPs. This document is only relevant to IP when used as the well know "best effort" connectionless service. In particular, this means that this document does not pertain to IP in the presence of implemented IP Integrated Services (ISS) and RSVP. The topic of IP with ISS over ATM will be handled by a different specification or set of specifications being worked on in the ISSLL WG. Maher, Mankin [Page 1] INTERNET-DRAFT IP over ATM Signalling - UNI 4.0 Update June 1996 This specification is follow-on to RFC 1755, "ATM Signaling Support for IP over ATM", which is based on UNI signalling 3.1. Readers are assumed to be familiar with RFC 1755. 1. Overview UNI Signalling version 4.0 is the ATM Forum follow-on specification to UNI Signalling 3.1. Among the new features in UNI 4.0, those of particular interest to IP over ATM enviroments are: o ABR Signalling for Point-to-Point Calls o Traffic Parameter Negotiation o Frame Discard Support o Leaf Initiated Join (LIJ) Capability o ATM Anycast Capability o Switched Virtual Path (VP) Service This draft highlights the first three capabilities listed above. The last three capabilities are not discussed mainly because models for their use in IP over ATM environments have not yet been defined. 2. Overview of Call Establishment Message Content Signalling messages are structured to contain mandatory and optional variable length information elements (IEs). A SETUP message which establishes an ATM connection to be used for IP and multiprotocol interconnection calls MUST contain the following IEs: AAL Parameters ATM Traffic Descriptor Broadband Bearer Capability Broadband Low Layer Information QoS Parameter Called Party Number Calling Party Number and MAY, under certain circumstance contain the following IEs : Calling Party Subaddress Called Party Subaddress Transit Network Selection (New in UNI 4.0:) Minimum Acceptable ATM Traffic Descriptor Maher, Mankin [Page 2] INTERNET-DRAFT IP over ATM Signalling - UNI 4.0 Update June 1996 Alternative ATM Traffic Descriptor ABR Setup Parameters ABR Additional Parameters Connection Scope Selection Extended QoS Parameters End-to-End Transit Delay In UNI 4.0, like UNI 3.1, the AAL Parameters and the Broadband Low Layer Information IEs are optional in a SETUP message. However, in support of IP over ATM these two IEs MUST be included. Appendix A shows a sample setup message. 3. Description of Information Elements This section describes the coding of, and procedures surrounding, information elements in SETUP and CONNECT messages. The first two IEs described, ATM Adaptation Layer Parameters and Broadband Low Layer Information, are categorized as having significance only to the end- points of an ATM call supporting IP. That is, the network does not process these IEs. 3.1. ATM Adaptation Layer (AAL) Parameters The AAL Parameters IE carries information about the ATM adaptation layer to be used on the connection. The parameters specified in this IE are the same as specified in [PER95]. Format and field values of AAL Parameters IE ---------------------------------------------------------- | aal_parameters | ---------------------------------------------------------- | aal_type 5 (AAL 5) | | fwd_max_sdu_size_identifier 140 | | fwd_max_sdu_size 65,535 (desired IP MTU) | | bkw_max_sdu_size_identifier 129 | | bkw_max_sdu_size 65,535 (desired IP MTU) | | sscs_type identifier 132 | | sscs_type 0 (null SSCS) | ---------------------------------------------------------- This shows maximum size MTUs. In practice, most sites have used 9180 IP MTUs for ATM [RFC1626]. Maher, Mankin [Page 3] INTERNET-DRAFT IP over ATM Signalling - UNI 4.0 Update June 1996 3.2. Broadband Low Layer Information Selection of an encapsulation to support IP over an ATM VCC is done using the Broadband Low Layer Information (B-LLI) IE, along with the AAL Parameters IE, and the B-LLI negotiation procedure. B-LLI nego- tiation is described in [PER95] in Appendix D. The procedures remain the same for this UNI 4.0 based specification. Format of B-LLI IE indicating LLC/SNAP encapsulation ---------------------------------------------------------- | bb_low_layer_information | ---------------------------------------------------------- | layer_2_id 2 | | user_information_layer 12 (lan_llc - ISO 8802/2) | ---------------------------------------------------------- 3.3. Traffic Management Issues and Related IEs The ATM Forum Traffic Management Sub-working group has completed ver- sion 4.0 of their specification [TMGT96]. This latest version focuses primarily on the definition of the ABR service category. As opposed to the Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR) traffic class, ABR uses a rate- based flow control mechanism to assure certain traffic guarantees (bandwidth and delay). There has been much debate on whether IP benefits from ABR, and if so, how IP should use ABR. The Integrated Internet Services (IIS) and RSVP models in IP add complexity to this issue because mapping IIS traffic classes to ATM traffic classes is not straightforward. This draft attempts only to present the required IP to ATM signalling interface for IP over ATM systems that do not support IIS as yet. It is an attempt to cause IP over ATM vendors to support enough options for signalling the traffic characteristics of VCs serving non-IIS IP datagrams. This specification also aims to give guidance to ATM sys- tem administrators so that they can configure their IP over ATM enti- ties to conform to the varied services that their ATM provider may have sold to them. By definition, IP without IIS cannot be expected to provide a signalling interface that is flexible and allows appli- cation specific traffic descriptors. The topic of IP over ATM signal- ling for IP _with_ IIS is to presented other specifications produced by the ISSLL WG of the IETF. An IP over ATM interface may be configured to support all the defined ATM Service Categories (ASC). They are: Maher, Mankin [Page 4] INTERNET-DRAFT IP over ATM Signalling - UNI 4.0 Update June 1996 - CBR - CBR with CLR specified (loss-permitting CBR) - ABR - UBR - real time VBR - non-real time VBR [We don't think it's likely that realtime VBR would be a provisioned service to a site, but we expect to discuss this with the WG] The ATM Traffic Descriptor IE, Broadband Bearer Capability IE, and the QoS Parameter IE together define the signalling view of ATM traffic management. Additionally, the Extended QoS parameters IE and the End-to-end Transit Delay IE may be used to provide more specifics about traffic requirements. Annex 9 of [TMGT96] describes a set of allowable combinations of traffic and QoS related paramenters defined for UNI 4.0 signalling. This set includes all forms of non-IIS IP signalling configurations that MUST be implemented in ATM endsystems to accomodate varied sites' needs. The principle is that IP over ATM service may be provided by different sites by different types of pro- cured ATM service; for one site, a CBR PVP might be cost-effective and then the SVCs that IP over ATM without IIS must establish must be CBR. Similarly, VBR or ABR PVPs could be provisioned. We want to fill in the table parameters to offer the most sensible parameters within this non-IIS configuration. For instance, for non-IIS VBR, the SCR value may need to be hand-configured for IP users. Or for ABR, the PCR value may be link-rate with a 0 MCR. For the reader's convenience, we have replicated the tables found in Annex 9 of [TMGT96] in Appendix B of this documents. Amendments to this set of tables will be iterated in WG discussion. Maher, Mankin [Page 5] INTERNET-DRAFT IP over ATM Signalling - UNI 4.0 Update June 1996 3.3.1. ATM Traffic Descriptor Even with the newly defined ABR ASC, the most convenient model of IP behavior still corresponds to the Best Effort Capability. Best effort service MAY be requested by including the forward and backward peak cell rate (CLP=0+1) and the Best Effort Indicator fields in the ATM Traffic Descriptor IE. As stated above, this may not be the choice that a site's configuration allows. In support of ABR service two new subfields have been added to the Traffic Descriptor IE, forward and backward 'Minimum Cell Rate' fields. 3.3.2. Traffic Parameter Negotiation UNI 4.0 allows certain traffic parameters to be negotiated during the call establishment phase Traffic parameters cannot be 'renegotiated' after the call is active. Two new IEs make negotiation possible: - the Minimum Acceptable ATM Traffic Descriptor IE allows negotiation of PCR parameters - the Alternative ATM Traffic Descriptor IE allows negotiation of other traffic parameters A SETUP or CONNECT message may include ONLY one of the above IEs. That is, the calling party may only offer an 'alternative' or 'minimum' to the requested traffic parameters. (See Section 8 of [UNI96].) IP over ATM entities SHOULD take advantage of this capabil- ity whenever possible. In order to do so, IP over ATM entities SHOULD specify PCR _equal_ to the link rate in the ATM Traffic Descriptor IE of the SETUP message and a minimum of zero PCR in the Minimum Accept- able ATM Traffic Descriptor IE. (WG agreed to this in San Jose.) 3.3.3. Broadband Bearer Capability A new field in UNI signalling 4.0 called, 'ATM Transfer Capability' (ATC), has been defined in the Broadband Bearer Capability IE for the purpose of explicitly specifying the desired ATM traffic catergory. The figure below shows the allowable ATC values. Maher, Mankin [Page 6] INTERNET-DRAFT IP over ATM Signalling - UNI 4.0 Update June 1996 Format and field values of Broadband Bearer Capability IE ------------------------------------------------------------- | bb_bearer_capability | ------------------------------------------------------------| | spare 0 | | bearer_class 16 (bcob-x,c,a or VP) | | transfer_capability cbr, rt-vbr, nrt-vbr, abr | | susceptibility_to_clipping 0 (not suscept) | | spare 0 | | user_plane_configuration pt-to-pt, pt-to-mpt | ------------------------------------------------------------- 3.3.4. QoS Parameter Inclusion of the QoS Parameter IE is optional in UNI 4.0 signalling. It may be omitted from a SETUP message when the Extended QoS Parame- ters IE, discussed in the next section, is included. This specifica- tion makes no explicit recommendation on the use of the QoS related IEs. [WG needs to decide on this. Is there any benefit in using these or do they just make signalling more complex?) 3.3.4.1. Signalling of Individual QoS Parameters UNI 4.0 allows for signalling of individual QoS parameters for the purpose of giving the the network and called party a more exact description of the desired delay and cell loss characteristics. The two individual QoS related IEs, Extended QoS Parameters IE and End- to-End Transit Delay IE, can be used in the SETUP and CONNECT signal- ling messages in place of the 'generic' QoS Parameter IE. Note that inclusion of these two IEs depends on the type of ATM service category requested (see Annex 9 in [TMGT96]). 3.4. ABR Signalling In More Detail The IEs and procedures pertaining to ABR signalling are briefly described in this section. Nevertheless, this document makes no specific recommendation on when to use the ABR service category for IP VCCs or give suggestions on appropriate values for the various parameters in the ABR related IEs. Two new IEs have been defined for ABR signalling: o ABR Setup Parameters o ABR Additional Parameters Maher, Mankin [Page 7] INTERNET-DRAFT IP over ATM Signalling - UNI 4.0 Update June 1996 These IEs may be optionally included in a SETUP or CONNECT message. The ABR Setup Parameters IE contains the following subfields: - Forward/Backward ABR Initital Cell Rate - Forward/Backward ABR Transient Buffer Exposure - Cumulative RM Fixed Round Trip Time - Forward/Backward Rate Increment Factor - Forward/Backward Rate Decrease Factor The ABR Additional Parameters IE contains one subfield: - Forward/Backward Additional Parameters Record The Additional Parameters Record value is a compressed encoding of a set of ABR parameters (see TMGT96). 3.5. Frame Discard Capability The frame discard capabilty in UNI 4.0 is primarily based on the 'Partial Packet Discard' strategy [ROM94]. Its use is defined for any of the ATM services, except for loss-less CBR. Frame discard signal- ling MUST be supported by all IP over ATM entities and it is RECOM- MENDED that frame discard be signalled for all IP SVCs because it has been proven to increase throughput under network congestion. Signal- ling for frame discard is done by setting the frame discard bit in the 'Traffic Management Options' subfield in the Traffic Descriptor IE. It is possible that not all network entities in the SVC path support frame discard, but it is requiered that they all forward the signalling. 3.6. ATM Addressing Information ATM addressing information is carried in the Called Party Number, Calling Party Number, and, under certain circumstance, Called Party Subaddress, and Calling Party Subaddress IE. The ATM Forum ILMI Specification 4.0 provides the procedure for an ATM endsystem to learn its own ATM address from the ATM network, for use in populating the Calling Party Number IE. Maher, Mankin [Page 8] INTERNET-DRAFT IP over ATM Signalling - UNI 4.0 Update June 1996 Format and field values of Called Party Number IE ---------------------------------------------------------- | called_party_number | ---------------------------------------------------------- | type_of_number (international number / unknown) | | addr_plan_ident (ISDN / ATM Endsystem Address) | | addr_number (E.164 / ATM Endsystem Address) | ---------------------------------------------------------- 4. Security Considerations The ATM Forum has established an ATM Security sub-working group for the purpose of defining seurity mechanisms in ATM. It is therefore premature to begin defining IP over ATM signalling's use of ATM secu- rity. IP Security (RFC1825) can be applied to IP datagrams over any medium. 5. Open Issues Description of Leaf Initiated Join (LIJ) signalling is not discussed because the use of LIJ in IP over ATM has not been defined.
