Security Task Group

Between this session and the preceding session, the IEEE 802.1 Security Task Group (Security TG) held electronic meetings whose minutes are incorporated to these session minutes by reference as follows:

The table in section 1 reflects the attendance and affiliation of all participants in all 802.1 WG and subgroup meetings held in this session.

Call to order November 9, 2021 at 11:00 ET by Mick Seaman, IEEE 802.1 Security TG Chair, who presided and wrote the minutes assisted by Karen Randall, Security TG Vice-Chair.

Agenda items and dispositions:

  1. Meeting introduction. The IEEE SA slides on IEEE Patent Policy and IEEE SA Copyright and Participation Policies were provided beforehand as part of “MEETING INTRODUCTION” http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/templates/admin-TG-intro-0721-v01.pdf.

The Security TG Chair announced that the meeting is subject to these Policies as read and displayed at the opening plenary meeting.

The Security TG Chair made the Calls for Potentially Essential Patents thereby providing an opportunity for participants to identify patent claim(s)/patent application claim(s) and/or the holder of patent claim(s)/patent application claim(s) of which the participant is personally aware and that may be essential for the use of that standard: there were no responses to these Calls prior to the end of the session.

The Security TG Chair asked participants to record their attendance in IMAT and, if they are unable to do so, to promptly provide their affiliation to the minute taker.

2. Approval of agenda. The Security TG Chair presented the agenda in https://1.ieee802.org/november-2021-plenary-session-electronic-security-tg-agenda/

Disposition: the agenda was reviewed, discussed and updated as recorded by these minutes.

3. P802.1AEdk MAC Privacy protection. Don Fedyk, P802.1AEdk Editor, reviewed the updated MAC Privacy protection YANG.

Discussion:

  • Noted that the convention of not dating the latest YANG file can lead to some confusion as to the revision of the YANG file being discussed when the latest is not pulled from GitHub. Desirable that it be easy for those who are not YANG experts and who are not using GitHub to be able to access the relevant files. Similarly desirable to maintain the historic record. YANG file discussed reposted in the directory https://www.ieee802.org/1/files/private/dk-drafts/d1/ieee802-dot1ae-pry@2021-10-26.yang/.
  • Burst size parameter for MPPDU generation was changed in the MIB, so that the configured burst size is the excess over the MPPDU size (the necessary minimum) to make avoiding configuration mistakes easier.
  • The MIB also has separate enable/disable controls for Privacy MDDU transmission and reception, so the latter can be enabled first to facilitate deployment without data loss.
  • General question for YANG: how should vendor-specific extensions be named/identified (for example, alternate reassembly algorithms) to avoid the need to create a registry? The use of an OUI derived identifier would seem unwarranted here since there is no need to communicate a short identifier in protocol.
  • Use of Pause (or PFC) is a potential privacy exposure.
  • The use of UML figures for various purposes (this goes beyond YANG) in the P802.1AEdk draft (and in 802.1AE as a whole) would benefit from some further documentation.

Disposition:

  • YANG files uploaded to the drafts directory to be kept in subdirectories with names ending @yyyy-mm-dd.yang. These directories to include related files (test files, test results, supporting modules).
  • Update YANG with similar changes to those made in the MIB, including description references.
  • Bring the extension naming issue to the attention of YANGsters.
  • Add an informative Annex to describe the use of UML throughout 802.1AE.

Disposition: It was agreed (informally, none dissenting) to approve the minutes as presented.

4. Update. The Nendica web site was reported as unchanged. The Nendica Chair presented “Nendica Session Issues, 2021-11” https://mentor.ieee.org/802.1/dcn/21/1-21-0069-00-ICne.pdf, including an update on the 802.1 Working Group Chair’s announced plans for the 802.1 Technical Plenary beginning Dec 2, 2021.

5. Nendica organization. The following motion was made:

  • Motion: To request meeting authorization on the same terms agreed 2021-07-20

Motion by: Specht

Seconded: Steindl

The Nendica Chair announced that this motion had been approved without objection.

Disposition: The Nendica Chair plans to bring the consequential motion to the Nov 16, 2021 IEEE 802.1 closing plenary meeting.

6. CTF Study Item. Johannes Specht discussed aspects of “Cut-Through Forwarding (CTF): Towards an IEEE 802.1 Standard” https://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2021/new-specht-ctf-802-1-1121-v01.pdf, presented Nov 10, 2021 to the 802.1 TSN TG.

YANGsters

Between this session and the preceding session, YANGsters held electronic meetings whose minutes are incorporated to these session minutes by reference as follows:

The table in section 1 reflects the attendance and affiliation of all participants in all 802.1 WG and subgroup meetings held in this session.

Call to order Nov 11, 2021 at 14:01 ET by Scott Mansfield, YANGsters Chair, who presided. Stephan Kehrer, YANGsters Secretary, wrote the minutes.

Agenda items and dispositions:

1. Meeting introduction. The IEEE SA slides on IEEE Patent Policy and IEEE SA Copyright and Participation Policies were provided beforehand as part of “MEETING INTRODUCTION” http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/templates/admin-prePAR-intro-0721-v01.pdf.

The YANGsters Chair announced that the meeting is subject to these Policies as read and displayed at the opening plenary meeting.

The YANGsters Chair asked participants to record their attendance in IMAT and, if they are unable to do so, to promptly provide their affiliation to the minute taker.

2. Approval of agenda. The YANGsters Chair presented the agenda in https://1.ieee802.org/november-2021-plenary-session-electronic-yangsters-agenda/.

Disposition: The agenda was reviewed, discussed and agreed (informally, none dissenting) as presented.

3. Introduction to YANGsters. The YANGsters Chair introduced YANGsters by presenting

4. Status. The YANGsters Chair provided an overview of YANGsters by showing https://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2021/yangsters-smansfield-plenary-status-1121-v02.pdf.

Disposition: For information.

5. Liaisons: The YANGsters Chair presented and led the discussion on related liaisons from BBF in https://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2021/liaison-BBF-LS475-strategytobindQcxCFMYANGtoIETFalarmmgmtmodel-0921.pdf, https://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2021/liaison-response-BBF-strategytobindQcxtoIETFalarmmgmtmodel-0721-v01.pdf, https://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2021/liaison-BBF-strategytobindQcxtoIETFalarmmgmtmodel-0721.pdf:

  • An overview of these liaisons was provided.
  • BBF’s decision to “continue to proceed with the understanding that the BBF model results in a non-compliant IEEE 802.1Q Device, extending the ieee802-dot1q-cfm YANG module with a BBF YANG module that defines alarms per defect” was noted.

Disposition: Agreed (informally, none dissenting), that no further actions are required on the latest of these liaisons at this time.

6. Review of discussions since last plenary: UML-Like Diagram guidelines update. The YANGsters Chair presented and led the discussion of the topic by showing https://1.ieee802.org/uml-like-diagrams/.

  • There are several UML-like diagrams in P802.1Q-Rev. Comments regarding these diagrams have been received during the SA ballot on P802.1Q-Rev/D1.0.
  • It was pointed out that the use of UML-like diagrams that is described in https://1.ieee802.org/uml-like-diagrams/ deviates from the description provided in OMG UML version 2.5 that is referenced in P802.1Q-Rev. This might prompt ballot comments since the UML-like diagrams follow the guidelines provided by YANGsters.
  • It was suggested to update the reference in P802.1Q-Rev to point to https://1.ieee802.org/uml-like-diagrams/ instead of the OMG UML version 2.5 as a way to address this concern.
  • Another topic that needs discussion is the question of how to provide indices in the UML-like diagrams. The current guidance is to provide indices in parentheses after the class name. In the past the indices have been placed on the arrows showing relations between classes.
  • It was pointed out that the current suggestion for color coding provided by YANGsters (e.g. having a white background for everything out of scope of the specific IEEE 802 standard being developed and a grey background for everything originating in IEEE 802 standard being developed) might not always be the best approach.
  • It was agreed (informally, none dissenting) that color coding as it is currently described in https://1.ieee802.org/uml-like-diagrams/ makes sense, since amendments should always be written as if they are part of the base standard. For this reason, highlighting parts added by an amendment in a different shade is not appropriate. This would result in the figures needing to be redrawn with an updated shading when rolling up an amendment into the base standard and would impose an unnecessary burden on the editor doing the rollup.

Disposition: Agreed (informally, none dissenting), that more discussion on the topic is needed.

7. Review of discussions since last plenary: Revision statement in YANG discussion. The YANGsters Chair presented “YANG Revision Guidelines” https://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2020/yangsters-smansfield-yang-revision-guidelines-0820-v01.pdf.

  • The current way that YANG files are provided at https://1.ieee802.org/yang-modules/ is the following:
  • The current version of a YANG file is named without a revision date.
  • Previous versions of a YANG file have the revision date of the file added to the name when a new version is published and uploaded.
  • Discussed was whether there should be a convention on how files, especially YANG files, should be named during standards development and provided to the editor of a draft standard. Without such guidance the editor has additional work to do, e.g., renaming YANG modules by adding a date in order not to overwrite already present versions of the file. Guidance on this could be provided as part of https://1.ieee802.org/filenaming-conventions/.

Disposition: Agreed (informally, none dissenting), that more discussion on the topic is needed. The topic of file naming conventions needs to be discussed in IEEE 802.1 leadership.

8. Review of discussions since last plenary: Updates to YANG Catalog GitHub repository. The YANGsters Chair presented the topic.

Disposition: For information.

9. Instance examples for Provider Edge Bridge. The YANGsters Chair presented “Provider Edge Bridge Instance Examples” https://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2021/yangsters-smansfield-peb-instances-1121-v02.pdf.

Disposition: Agreed (informally, none dissenting), that more discussion on the topic is needed.

10. Review of YANG issues from recent ballots. Discussion was deferred by lack of time.

11. Future meetings. A motion is planned for the 802.1 closing plenary meeting to request the continuation of the weekly YANGsters electronic meetings. YANGsters’ next electronic meeting is Nov 23, 2021.

12. Any Other Business. No other business was discussed by YANGsters in this session.

16:08 ET adjournment
