5.  The RAW Control Loop

5.1.  Routing Time Scale vs. Forwarding Time Scale

   With DetNet, the Controller Plane Function handles the routing
   computation and maintenance.  With RAW, the routing part of the CPF
   (rCPF) is segregated from the RAW Control Loop, so it may reside
   outside of the RAW network.  To achieve RAW capabilities, the rCPF is
   extended to generate the information required by the local aCPF,
   which acts as the orientation component in the loop.  The rCPF may,
   e.g., propose DetNet Paths to be used as a reflex action in response
   to network events, or by provide aggregated history that the aCPF can
   use to make an oriented decision.

   In a wireless mesh, the path to the DetNet CPF can be expensive and
   slow, possibly going across the whole mesh and back.  Reaching to the
   CPF can also be slow in regards to the speed of events that affect
   the forwarding operation at the radio layer.  Note that a distributed
   routing protocol may also take time and consume excessive wireless
   resources to reconverge to a new optimized state.

Internet-Draft              RAW Architecture                  March 2024

   As a result, the DetNet CPF is not expected to be aware of and to
   react to very transient changes.  The abstraction of a link at the
   routing level is expected to use statistical metrics that aggregate
   the behavior of a link over long periods of time, and represent its
   properties as shades of gray as opposed to numerical values such as a
   link quality indicator, or a boolean value for either up or down.

   The interaction with the (remote) RAW rCPF is handled by a (local)
   aCPF that builds reports to the rCPF and digests the control
   information back, to be used inside a forwarding control loop for
   traffic steering.

                           Figure 8: Time Scales

   In the case of wireless, the changes that affect the forwarding
   decision can happen frequently and often for short durations, e.g., a
   mobile object moves between a transmitter and a receiver, and will

Thubert                 Expires 5 September 2024               [Page 31]
Internet-Draft              RAW Architecture                  March 2024

   cancel the line of sight transmission for a few seconds, or a radar
   measures the depth of a pool and interferes on a particular channel
   for a split second.

   There is thus a desire to separate the long term computation of the
   route and the short term forwarding decision.  In that model, the
   routing operation computes a recovery graph that enables multiple
   Non-Equal Cost Multi-Path (N-ECMP) forwarding solutions along so-
   called protection paths, and leaves it to the Network Plane to make
   the per-packet decision of which of these possibilities should be
   used.

   In the context of Traffic Engineering (TE), an alternate path can be
   used upon the detection of a failure in the main path, e.g., using
   OAM in MPLS-TP or BFD over a collection of SD-WAN tunnels.  RAW
   formalizes a forwarding time scale that is an order(s) of magnitude
   shorter than the controller plane routing time scale, and separates
   the protocols and metrics that are used at both scales.  Routing can
   operate on long term statistics such as delivery ratio over minutes
   to hours, but as a first approximation can ignore flapping.  On the
   other hand, the RAW forwarding decision is made at the scale of the
   packet rate, and uses information that must be pertinent at the
   present time for the current transmission(s).

5.2.  A OODA Loop

   OODA (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) is a generic formalism to
   represent the operational steps in a Control Loop.  The RAW
   Architecture applies that generic model to continuously optimize the
   spectrum and energy used to forward packets within a recovery graph,
   instantiating the OODA steps as follows:

   Observe:  Network Plane measurements, including protocols for
      Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM), to Observe the
      local state of the links and some or all hops along a recovery
      graph as well as the end-to-end packet delivery, more in
      Section 5.3;

   Orient:  An asynchronous CPF that reports data and information such
      as the link statistics, and leverages offline-computed wisdom and
      knowledge to Orient the PLR for its forwarding decision, more in
      Section 5.4;

   Decide:  A local PLR that decides which DetNet Path to use for the
      future packet(s) that are routed along the recovery graph, more in
      Section 5.5;

   Act:  PREOF Dataplane actions are controlled from the DetNet Service

      sub-layer to increase the reliability of the end-to-end
      transmission.  The RAW architecture also covers in-situ signaling
      when the decision is Acted by a node that down the recovery graph
      from the PLR, more in Section 5.6.

   The overall OODA Loop optimizes the use of redundancy to achieve the
   required reliability and availability Service Level Agreement (SLA)
   while minimizing the use of constrained resources such as spectrum
   and battery.

5.3.  Observe: The RAW OAM

   RAW In-situ OAM operation in the Network Plane may observe either a
   full recovery graph or the DetNet Path that is being used at this
   time.  As packets may be load balanced, replicated, eliminated, and /
   or fragmented for Network Coding (NC) forward error correction (FEC),
   the RAW In-situ operation needs to be able to signal which operation
   occured to an individual packet.

   Active RAW OAM may be needed to observe the unused segments and
   evaluate the desirability of a rerouting decision.

   Finally, the RAW Service sub-layer Assurance may observe the
   individual PREOF operation of a relay node to ensure that it is
   conforming; this might require injecting an OAM packet at an upstream
   point inside the recovery graph and extracting that packet at another
   point downstream before it reaches the egress.

   This observation feeds the RAW PLR that makes the decision on which
   path is used at which RAW Node, for one a small continuous series of
   packets.

            Figure 10: Observed Links in Radio Access Protection

   In the case of a End-to-End Protection in a Wireless Mesh, the
   recovery graph is strict and congruent with the path so all links are
   observed.

   Conversely, in the case of Radio Access Protection illustrated in
   Figure 10, the recovery graph is Loose and only the first hop is
   observed; the rest of the path is abstracted and considered
   infinitely reliable.  The loss if a packet is attributed to the first
   hop Radio Access Network (RAN), even if a particular loss effectively
   happens farther down the path.  In that case, RAW enables technology
   diversity (e.g.  Wi-Fi and 5G) which in turn improves the diversity
   in spectrum usage.

   The Links that are not observed by OAM are opaque to it, meaning that
   the OAM information is carried across and possibly echoed as data,
   but there is no information capture in intermediate nodes.  In the
   example above, the Internet is opaque and not controlled by RAW;
   still the RAW OAM measures the end-to-end latency and delivery ratio
   for packets sent via each if RAN 1, RAN 2 and RAN 3, and determines
   whether a packet should be sent over either or a collection of those
   access links.

5.4.  Orient: The RAW-extended DetNet Operational Plane

   RAW separates the long time scale at which a recovery graph is
   elaborated and installed, from the short time scale at which the
   forwarding decision is taken for one or a few packets (see in
   Section 5.1) that will experience the same path until the network
   conditions evolve and another path is selected within the same
   recovery graph.

Thubert                 Expires 5 September 2024               [Page 34]
Internet-Draft              RAW Architecture                  March 2024

   The recovery graph computation is out of scope, but RAW expects that
   the CPF that installs the recovery graph also provides related
   knowledge in the form of meta data about the links, segments and
   possible DetNet Paths.  That meta data can be a pre-digested
   statistical model, and may include prediction of future flaps and
   packet loss, as well as recommended actions when that happens.

   The meta data may include:

   *  A set of Pre-Determined DetNet Paths that are prepared to match
      expected link degradation profiles, so the DDCPEs can take reflex
      rerouting actions when facing a degradation that matches one such
      profile.

   *  Link Quality Statistics history and pre-trained models, e.g., to
      predict the short-term variation of quality of the links in a
      recovery graph

   The recovery graph is installed with measurable objectives that are
   computed by the rCPF to achieve the RAW SLA.  The objectives can be
   expressed as any of maximum number of packet lost in a row, bounded
   latency, maximal jitter, maximum number of interleaved out of order
   packets, average number of copies received at the elimination point,
   and maximal delay between the first and the last received copy of the
   same packet.

5.5.  Decide: The Point of Local Repair

   The RAW OODA Loop operates at the path selection time scale to
   provide agility vs. the brute force approach of flooding the whole
   recovery graph.  The OODA Loop controls, within the redundant
   solutions that are proposed by the acynchronous CPF, which will be
   used for each packet to provide a Reliable and Available service
   while minimizing the waste of constrained resources.

   To that effect, RAW defines the Point of Local Repair (PLR) as a
   synchronous CPF that performs rapid local adjustments of the
   forwarding tables within the diversity that the asynchronous CPF has
   in store for the recovery graph.  The PLR enables to exploit the
   richer forwarding capabilities at a faster time scale over the
   smaller domain that is the recovery graph, in either a loose or a
   strict fashion.

   The PLR operates on metrics that evolve faster, but that need to be
   advertised at a fast rate but only locally, within the recovery
   graph, and reacts on the metrics updates by changing the DetNet path
   in use for the affected flows.

Thubert                 Expires 5 September 2024               [Page 35]
Internet-Draft              RAW Architecture                  March 2024

   The rapid changes in the forwarding decisions are made and contained
   within the scope of a recovery graph and the actions of the PLR are
   not signaled outside the recovery graph.  This is as opposed to the
   rCPF that must observe the whole network and optimize all the
   recovery graphs globally, which can only be done at a slow pace and
   using long-term statistical metrics, as presented in Table 1.

   The PLR sits in the DetNet Service sub-Layer of Edge and Relay Nodes.
   On the one hand, it operates on the packet flow, learning the
   recovery graph and path selection information from the packet,
   possibly making local decision and retagging the packet to indicate
   so.  On the other hand, the PLR interacts with the lower layers
   (through triggers and DLEP) and with its peers (through iOAM and
   oOAM) to obtain up-to-date information about its links and the
   quality of the overall recovery graph, respectively, as illustrated
   in Figure 11.

5.6.  Act: DetNet Path Selection and reliability functions

   The main action by the PLR is the swapping of the DetNet Path within
   the recovery graph for the future packets.  The candidate DetNet
   Paths represent different energy and spectrum profiles, and provide
   protection against different failures.

   The RAW API enriches the DetNet protection services (PREOF) with
   potential possiblity to interact with lower layer one-hop reliability
   functions that are more typical to wireless than wires, including
   Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ), Forward Error Correction (FEC),
   Hybrid ARQ (HARQ) that includes both, and other techniques such as
   overhearing and constructive interferences.  Because RAW may be
   leveraged on wired links, e.g., to save power, it is not expected
   that all lower layers support all those capabilities.

   RAW provides hints to the lower layer services on the desired
   outcome, and the lower layer acts on those hints to provide the best
   approximation of that outcome, e.g., a level of reliability for one-
   hop transmission within a bounded budget of time and/or energy.
   Thus, the RAW API makes possible cross-layer optimization for
   reliability depending on the actual abstraction provided.  That is,
   some reliability functions are controlled from Layer-3 using an
   abstract interface, while they are really operated at the lower
   layers.

Thubert                 Expires 5 September 2024               [Page 37]
Internet-Draft              RAW Architecture                  March 2024

   The RAW Path Selection can be implemented in both centralized and
   distributed scheduling approaches.  In the centralized approach, the
   PLR may obtain a set of pre-computed DetNet paths matching a set of
   expected failures, and apply the appropriate DetNet paths for the
   current state of the wireless links.  In the distributed approach,
   the signaling in the packet may be more abstract than an explicit
   Path, and the PLR decision might be revised along the select DetNet
   Path based on a better knowledge of the rest of the way.

   The dynamic DetNet Path selection in RAW avoids the waste of critical
   resources such as spectrum and energy while providing for the
   guaranteed SLA, e.g., by rerouting and/or adding redundancy only when
   a spike of loss is observed.

6.  Security Considerations

   RAW uses all forms of diversity including radio technology and
   physical path to increase the reliability and availability in the
   face of unpredictable conditions.  While this is not done
   specifically to defeat an attacker, the amount of diversity used in
   RAW makes an attack harder to achieve.

6.1.  Layer-2 encryption

   Radio networks typically encrypt at the MAC layer to protect the
   transmission.  If the encryption is per pair of peers, then certain
   RAW operations like promiscuous overhearing become impossible.

6.2.  Forced Access

   A RAW policy may typically select the cheapest collection of links
   that matches the requested SLA, e.g., use free Wi-Fi vs. paid 3GPP
   access.  By defeating the cheap connectivity (e.g., PHY-layer
   interference) the attacker can force an End System to use the paid
   access and increase the cost of the transmission for the user.
