The acting Chair presented the Opening Agenda slides available at http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/minutes/2018-11-opening-plenary-slides.pdf.

During this presentation, the Chair:

  • Thanked everyone and especially those acting during his unanticipated absence (slide 2).
  • Introduced the agenda on slide 3. The agenda was approved.
  • Presented slides 4 through 8 (including reproduced slides 0 through 4 of the IEEE-SA PatCom Patent Slides for Standards Development Meetings, separately available at http://standards.ieee.org/about/sasb/patcom/materials.html).
    The Chair:

    • Presented information on these slides including:
      • Instructions for the WG Chair (and TG Chairs);
      • Participants’ duty to inform the IEEE;
      • Ways to inform IEEE;

      • IEEE’s patent policy is described in Clause 6 of the IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws;
      • Early identification of patent claims which may be essential for the use of standards under development is strongly encouraged;
      • There may be Essential Patent Claims of which IEEE is not aware. Additionally, neither IEEE, the WG, nor the WG Chair can ensure the accuracy or completeness of any assurance or whether any such assurance is, in fact, of a Patent Claim that is essential for the use of the standard under development.
    • Made the “Call 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 the call.

  2. Future meetings/teleconferences

Minutes of the discussions of these agenda items follow.

1. Response to ISO/IEC JTC1 FDIS ballot comments

    1. IEEE Std 802.1AEcg-2017

A draft response was presented by Karen Randall and edited on-screen, during the Monday PM meeting, as discussion progressed:

http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2018/SC6CommentResponse1AEcg2018-v01.pdf

This document includes the text of the China National Body (NB) comment (the only comment received). The draft response had been based on a prior response prepared by 802.11, to a broadly similar comment, with subsequent editing to address the particular details of 802.1AEcg-2017. Minor editorial changes were made, and an updated version was uploaded to the 802.1 public 2018 directory during the meeting: http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2018/SC6CommentResponse1AEcg2018-v02.pdf

[Note: the filename may be misleading. 802.1AEcg-2017 was approved in 2017.]

[Post-meeting note: The above response was reviewed by the Maintenance TG and by the JTC1 Standing Committee (SC) on Tuesday, and approved by the 802.1 closing plenary and the 802 Executive Committee.]

    1. IEEE Std 802.1AR-2018

A draft response was presented by Karen Randall and edited on-screen as discussion progressed: http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2018/SC6CommentResponse1AR2018-v00.pdf

This document includes the text of the two China NB comments (the only comments received on the FDIS ballot). The draft response had been based on prior responses to similar comments prepared by 802.1, 802.11, and the IEEE 802 JTC1 SC. While there were similarities between the signature suites specified in 802.1AR and the cipher suite specifications in 802.1AE, there is no mandatory default signature suite and (intentionally) no provision for adding a conformant option beyond amending the standard to specify that option. The draft response to the first comment was edited accordingly and the updated version uploaded during the course of the meeting: http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2018/SC6CommentResponse1AR2018-v01.pdf

The drafted response to the second comment was a previous response to a technically identical comment, and was not changed.

[Post-meeting note: The above response was reviewed by the Maintenance TG and by the JTC1 Standing Committee (SC) on Tuesday, and approved by the 802.1 closing plenary and the 802 Executive Committee. There were no changes.]

  1. P802E Privacy (Recommended Practice for Privacy Considerations for IEEE 802 Technologies)

2.1 Task Group ballot resolution

A total of 16 ballot responses had been received on the Task Group ballot of P802E/D1.1. The ballot results were: Approve 8, Disapprove 5, Abstain 5. 8 sets of comments were received, a total of 164 comments in all, 120 considered editorial by Jerome Henry, P802E Editor, with 44 proposed for group discussion. Ballot resolution had begun during the October 1, 2018 and October 23, 2018 teleconferences called for that purpose.

The state of comment resolution prior to the present meeting had been captured in the updated proposed disposition of comments, made available November 4, 2018: http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/private/802-e-drafts/d1/802E-d1-1-pdis3.pdf

This was updated during the meeting (Tuesday AM, early PM) to capture the discussion of both individual comments and themes touched on by a number of comments. The update is here: http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/private/802-e-drafts/d1/802E-d1-1-pdis4.pdf

The meeting first addressed those comments received with Disapprove ballots that seemed to question the structure, or indeed the need for the document.

Changes to part of Clause 3 were made and displayed using the editor’s working copy, the result of those changes and a partial update to reflect the proposed disposition are included in the interim draft D1.2, posted at http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/private/802-e-drafts/d1/802E-d1-2.pdf

Comments on Clause 9 noted apparent duplication between individual clauses, and the meeting discussed the duplication of ideas (although introduced in a different way) between Clauses 8 and 9. The editor undertook to consider a merger between those two clauses, including the merger in the next full draft (i.e. after any interim draft(s)), if that seemed beneficial.

Progression of the document was discussed. At present, drafts, working documents, contributions, and ballots are announced using both the 802.1 reflector and the historic Privecsg reflector. The aim is to solicit broader participation even in the initial stages of draft development. In line with established 802.1 practice, ballot comments received from any source (not limited to voting members or IEEE 802 attendees) are considered and their disposition recorded in the dispositions of comments. When we proceed to WG ballot, the usual procedure for encouraging participation in projects of broad interest to IEEE 802 participants in general will be followed. The 802.1 chair invites the chairs of the other 802 working groups to collect and submit comments on behalf of their groups. Any Approve or Disapprove votes submitted in that way count towards the ballot pass criteria (75% Approve of those voting Approve or Disapprove) though the participation rate criteria (50% of eligible voters return an Approve, Disapprove, or Abstain) is restricted to the 802.1 voting membership.

The meeting agreed (informally, none dissenting) that the next full draft would be the subject of a further task group ballot, to close prior to the March 2019 plenary meeting in Vancouver, BC, Canada, with comment resolution at that meeting. A teleconference would be held in the late January/early February 2019 time frame to assist that progression.

In the Monday PM session, Mick Seaman presented Privacy considerations in bridged networks http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2018/e-seaman-privacy-in-bridged-networks-1018-v01.pdf

The rationale and objectives for the suggested work are detailed in a preamble to the document. It was also hoped that the availability of a contribution presenting a (possible) response to P802E’s recommendations for privacy considerations documentation in standards would help alleviate concerns expressed in the task group ballot about the nature and feasibility of that documentation and align expectations and the way they are expressed, both in P802E and in privacy considerations annexes.

The contribution was also discussed during the Tuesday PM meeting, for the benefit of those not present in the Monday meeting.

[The contribution was also presented to the TSN Task Group during that group’s Thursday AM meeting.]

  1. P802.1X-Rev (Port-Based Network Access Control)

The status of P802.1X-Rev was discussed briefly during the Monday PM meeting. A WG ballot will occur once 802.1Xck has been published and the pre-publication edits retrofitted to the P802.1X-Rev draft. The current draft can be found at http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/private/x-rev-drafts/d0/802-1X-rev-d0-1.pdf.

The derivation of YANG from UML and the use of colons “:” or slashes “/” in the object identifiers/paths represented in the various tables in P802.1Xck was briefly discussed. Since no document can be shown on the screen during meetings unless it has been previously uploaded to the 802.1 fileserver (with the exception of work actually carried out on the screen) it was not possible to show IETF RFCs to illustrate points made during the discussion. Expert opinion in the meeting was that the current P802.1Xck colon/slash use was correct, if not readily apparent.

  1. A.O.B.

No other business was discussed in this meeting

  1. Future meetings/teleconferences

Agreed (informally, none dissenting) to hold a teleconference in the late January/early February 2019 time frame to progress P802E.

The Security TG would not meet during the January 2019 IEEE 802.1 interim meeting in Hiroshima, Japan.

[Post-meeting note: The usual motion for teleconferences was approved by the closing WG plenary.]

The meeting adjourned Tuesday November 15, 2018 at 3:05 PM.

Time-Sensitive Networking

IEEE 802.1 Maintenance

Meeting Draft Minutes

November 13, 2018

8:00am-10:00am – Minutes v1 (Paul Congdon)

Attendees: Geoff Garner, Craig Gunther, Nader Zein, Yi Yu, John Messenger, Scott Mansfield, Karen Randall, Takahiro Yamaura, Woojung Huh, Eric Gray, Dave Sinicrope, Satoka Itaya, Yoshihiro Ito, Steve Haddock, Glenn Parsons, Kenichi Maruhashi, Yolanda Yu, Johannes Specht, Christian Boiger, Rodney Cummings, Randy Kelsey, Mike Potts, Norm Finn, Stephan Kehrer, Don Pannell, Weiying Cheng, Michael Karl, Janos Farkas, Marina Gutierrez, Lou Berger, Frank Schewe, Marc Holness, Alex Sato, Jessy Rouyer, Paul Bottorff, Guogang Huang, Mick Seaman

Minutes:

  1. The chair, Paul Congdon, introduced the agenda, showed the patent policy slides and made the call for patents. There were no responses.
  2. Mick Seaman lead a discussion on the updated registry of public MAC addresses. The proposed update list is here:  http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2018/maint-seaman-public-group-addresses-0918-v01.pdf
    1. Some naming has become inconsistent (e.g. Nearest non-TPMR address is called PAE address by 802.1X)
    2. Is a maintenance item is needed to track this activity? Since this is not a standard itself and just information, the response was no, a maintenance item is not needed.
    3. IEEE 1588 and several of its profiles are using nearest non-TPMR as well. ACTION: Geoff Garner to provide a list of the outside standards that he is aware of (off the top of his head) to Mick.  We really only want to list 1588 and 802.1AS, and not all the profiles of 1588.
    4. It was pointed out that maintaining this list, including outside use, will be difficult.
    5. ACTION: Mick will update the table with a few missing items (e.g. RFC numbers and 802.1AB reference). He will contact the RAC when it is ready.
    6. Once the RAC has updated the table, the 802.1 Website should be updated with a reference to it. No owner of this proposed action has been assigned.
  3. Paul presented the list of current vehicles (drafts) used for implementing maintenance items, and the current numerical status of maintenance items in the database. Details in the Maintenance Session Slides.
  4. Existing maintenance items were reviewed and updated.
    1. No action taken on 0170, 0174 and 0205 because they are awaiting a document vehicle to be resolved and are otherwise ready to go.
  5. New maintenance items since the last Plenary: Discussion on these items is kept in the 802.1 maintenance database and only unrelated discussion or action items are listed here. The Maintenance database available here:  https://www.802-1.org/items?review=true
    1. 0210 – ECP protocol code point for P802.1CS needed in 802.1Q-2018 – 802.1Q-2018
      1. The chair asked if there are any other similar numbers that need to be tracked in the 802.1 file repository? It was pointed out that 802.1AS needs to track the 1588 domain number fields and profile # fields.  ACTION: The chair to work with Geoff Garner to obtain the list of values and update the existing XLS (including file name) with these values.
    2. 0211 – AdminCycleTime and Interval max values – 802.1Qbv-2016
    3. 0213 – msgTxHold and lldpV2MessageTxHoldMultiplier are not consistent – 802.1AB-2016
    4. 0214 – replace the usage of the port-number type with if:interface-ref – 802.1Qcp-2018
    5. 0215 – use YANG version 1.1 – 802.1Qcp-2018
    6. 0216 – add ‘derive-from-or-self’ to the bridge port augmentation’s ‘when’ statement – 802.1Qcp-2018
    7. 0217 – break out filtering entries to ‘config true’ and ‘config false’ containers – 802.1Qcp-2018
    8. 0218 – split the port-map-grouping into separate groupings – 802.1Qcp-2018
    9. 0219 – use a enumeration for the “forward”, “filter”, and “forward-filter” states – 802.1Qcp-2018
    10. 0220 – have a consistent iana-if-type prefix – 802.1Qcp-2018
    11. 0221 – limit configured VLAN names to be unique – 802.1Qcp-2018
      • All items 0214-0221 were deemed to not be defects and thus not maintenance items, however they are all very useful improvements. While the items will be rejected as maintenance items, they are suggested to be used as motivation to start a new project.  It was suggested that the chair send a message to the submitter encouraging the creation of an amendment PAR.  ACTION: Chair to email submitter on next steps for these items, suggesting the creation of an amendment PAR.
    12. 0222 – add a ‘config false’ list for dynamically learned VLANs – 802.1Qcp-2018
      • This item was discussed offline with the submitter and it was agreed to withdraw the issue. ACTION: The chair will email the submitter for confirmation.
  6. 1 WG Comment resolution: none
  7. Liaisons: none
  8. The liaison comment responses to FDIS were reviewed by Karen Randall
    1. http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2018/SC6CommentResponse1AEcg2018-v02.pdf
    2. http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2018/SC6CommentResponse1AR2018-v01.pdf
  9. The EC consent agenda motion for sending the liaison comment responses was reviewed. The most recent version of the documents needed to be included in the motion.  The motion will be given to Glenn for submission to the EC consent agenda.
  10. We reviewed the status of standards in the PSDO process, prepared by Karen Randall.
  11. See the updated session slides (http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2018/maint-congdon-session-1118-v02.pdf) and web-site (http://www.ieee802.org/1/maint.html) for further details and discussion.

    • Coauthors from 802.11 added additional signaling for address assignment policy in Beacon and Probe Response
    • GAS based approach may have security issues as assigned address is not bound to authentication
    • Agreement to go forward with prepared slides to trigger discussions in 802.11 ARC

https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/18/omniran-18-0087-00-CQ00-802-1cq-introduction-to-802-15-wng.pptx

    • Slides more generic than 802.11 presentation, in particular adding additional content on usage of DHCPv6 as requested in the Wireless Chairs meeting on Sunday afternoon.

Review of the discussion with 802.11ARC on local address assignment for 802.11 STAs

Security threat issues brought up without further details and without coming to a conclusion

Agreed to provide P802.1CQ requirements and scenario document to 802.11 experts to allow them to investigate presented and other potential solutions

Review of presentation to 802.15 WNG to make 802.15 aware and encourage contributions

Discussions showed that there are more deep dependencies in 802.15 technologies to 64/48 bit MAC addresses, e.g. related short addresses and IPv6 addresses

Some interest in 802.15 to work on dynamic address assignment but further insights and discussions needed to decide about creating a potential solution for 802.15
