Re: Node and CC ID types in LMP



Bakhta,

OIF's UNI allows for (IP) CCID to be either unnumbered (Node ID &
IF_Index) or numbered and allows for Node ID (ie UNI-C or UNI-N ID)
to be either IPv4 (or IPv6 but let for next UNI version(s)). So I 
don't know where you found that the Node ID can be an NSAP in 
this doc... 

Per OIF UNI:
"An IPCC may be numbered, in which case it is identified by an IPv4 
address at each end. If it is unnumbered then it is identified by the 
combination of the Node ID and an interface index at each end. In the 
case of numbered IPCC, migration to IPv6 addressing will depend on the 
proliferation of IPv6 capable UNI-C and UNI-N nodes."

[...]

"Under UNI 1.0, the Node ID is an IPv4 address, which must be unique 
within the domain of operation of the communicating UNI-C and UNI-N 
nodes." [...] "Migration to IPv6 addressing for the Node ID will depend 
on the proliferation of IPv6 capable UNI-C and UNI-N nodes".

So numbered IPCC would have (for future UNI version) to encompass 
IPv6 addressing as well.

However, in LMP I-D, one defines the CCID as follows:
" Rather, a node-wide unique 32-bit non-zero integer control channel 
identifier (CCId) is assigned at each end of the control channel. This 
identifier comes from the same space as the unnumbered interface Id."  

Therefore only the Node_ID would need to allow IPv6 in addition to what
is currently defined in LMP I-D. 

Cheers,
