  Gesendet: Freitag, 28. Februar 2003 16:28
  Betreff: MPE and DSMCC section_length


  Hallo,=20

  =20

  I plan to write DVB/IP gateway and I have question related to meaning =
of the section_length field within DSMCC section.=20

  =20

  Based on specs, it is defined as follows:

  =20

  dsmcc_section_length -- This 12 bit field specifies the number of =
remaining bytes in the DSMCC_section immediately following this field up =
to the end of the dsmcc_section. The value in this field shall not =
exceed 4093 (indicating a section maximum data length of 4084 bytes, =
following the last_section_number field and up to the CRC_32/checksum =
field).

  =20

  There is also one "example" saying

  =20

  .

  else if (table_id =3D=3D 0x3E) {

  =20

                          for (i=3D0;i<dsmcc_section_length-9;i++) {

  =20

                                      private_data_byte

  =20

                          }

  .

  =20

  I have grabbed some TS packets, please see attached word document. =
Based on this data, third packet within data, section_length =3D 0x463 =
=3D 1134. Data are included in the 6x188 TS packets. This makes 6x188 =
=3D 1128 bytes.  I am not able to find relation between those numbers =
and specs.=20

  =20

  Could you, please, someone explain?=20

  =20

  How is it with CRC, where is it within those packets?

  =20

  Thank you in advance.

  =20

  Regards, Daniel

Everything looks ok. The 7th packet contains the remaining 34 data bytes =
(including CRC_32). 0x46e (1134) + 3 =3D 1137
=20
6* 184 -1 (pointer byte) + 34 =3D 1137.

	Betreff: MPE and DSMCC section_length
	=20
	Hallo,=20
	=20
	I plan to write DVB/IP gateway and I have question related to meaning =
of the section_length field within DSMCC section.=20
	=20
	Based on specs, it is defined as follows:
	=20
	dsmcc_section_length -- This 12 bit field specifies the number of =
remaining bytes in the DSMCC_section immediately following this field up =
to the end of the dsmcc_section. The value in this field shall not =
exceed 4093 (indicating a section maximum data length of 4084 bytes, =
following the last_section_number field and up to the CRC_32/checksum =
field).
	=20
	There is also one "example" saying
	=20
	...
	else if (table_id =3D=3D 0x3E) {
	=20
	                        for (i=3D0;i<dsmcc_section_length-9;i++) {
	=20
	                                    private_data_byte
	=20
	                        }
	.
	=20
	I have grabbed some TS packets, please see attached word document. =
Based on this data, third packet within data, section_length =3D 0x463 =
=3D 1134. Data are included in the 6x188 TS packets. This makes 6x188 =
=3D 1128 bytes.  I am not able to find relation between those numbers =
and specs.=20
	=20
	Could you, please, someone explain?=20
	=20
	How is it with CRC, where is it within those packets?
	=20
	Thank you in advance.
	=20
	Regards, Daniel

Dear ip-over-dvb-interested,

We would like to use this reflector to draw your attention to an ITT
(Invitation to Tender)  AO 4372 which ESA (European Space Agency) has
published on its website: http://emits.esa.int/ . This is the result of a
request for ideas in
http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gorry/ip-dvb/archive/msg00238.html

The aim of the tender is to support developments related to emerging ideas on
IP encapsulations and IP services over DVB-S/RCS. A number of Tasks have been
described in this tender, such as:

- make an inventory of on-going IP-over-DVB activities within fora such as
DVB-CM, DVB-RCS, DVB-GBS, DVB IP Datacasting, ATSC, DVB-S2, DVB-SI DAT, DAB,
IP Datacasting Forum, etc.
- evaluate current MPE methods;
- develop proof-of-concept implementations for improved encapsulation methods
in receivers (IRDs) and senders (IP encapsulators/gateways);
- prove interoperability with parallel implementations;
- demonstrate applications that use new encapsulation methods, such as VoIPv6
or MPLS, or applications that demonstrate the more efficient use of the
satellite capacity.

We acknowledge that the title "Standardisation Support of enhanced IETF IP
Encapsulation Techniques"  may sound a bit limiting, but we encourage you to
have look at the contents of the Statement of Work and discover that there is
room to investigate issues which are outside of the pure encapsulation topic,
such as address resolution, service announcements issues (INT/MMT), etc.

The tender is open until 1 April 2003, and the idea is to initiate two
parallel contracts.

All correspondance needs to go via the official channels, have a look at
http://emits.esa.int/ for all official information.

Best regards,

Frank.Zeppenfeldt@esa.int

Will there be a meeting of this group in San Francisco ? If so, when ?

No, no BoF this time either!

So, what progress have we made?

- First, I promise to rev. the ID on the encapsulation, and will do
a call for comments to see if there any more changes needed / desirable.
There has been a recent ESA ITT issued to do some implementation of
this scheme and evaluation in a real link. so that should help this.

- I hope that people will start writing down their ideas on other
topics  relating to security, MIBs, address resoltion, etc and prepare
for the next meeting in Vienna.  I would like to see more than two IDs
so we can have a good range of topics and opinions....

- Finally I have been really busy since November, so some of the
lack of progress is my fault. I am sorry. 

If you will be at the IETF in San Francisco, I'd like to talk to
find out what your views / needs are.... Email me please.

I will be at the IETF but will have to leave on Wednesday at noon.
If there is a chance to get together some time Monday or Tuesday in
a small group (maybe for breakfast or so), I'd be interested.

Are there any ISP reps in this list ? We would be interested in getting some
information about IP packet length distribution in a standard Sat-ISP
environment. We are currently investigating, where we can save some overhead
bytes in the stream and encountered that it really makes sense only, if
there are a lot of small packets (in terms of IP payload) in the
distribution. (What for instance is the percentage of TCP acks in the
Sat-link ?, large packets ?, medium size ?)

Thanks,

Karsten

I work for a satellite based ISP...

Here is a snapshot of some data that may get you started.  It's the CEF flow
statistics of the traffic coming from three Cisco routers connecting to my
upstream ISPs.  This is for the traffic going toward the satellite links; I
don't have data for the traffic coming back.  These three represent about
150Megabits/second daily peak on a five minute average (MRTG).

Hopefully you will find the packet size distribution data useful.

Are there any ISP reps in this list ? We would be interested in getting some
information about IP packet length distribution in a standard Sat-ISP
environment. We are currently investigating, where we can save some overhead
bytes in the stream and encountered that it really makes sense only, if
there are a lot of small packets (in terms of IP payload) in the
distribution. (What for instance is the percentage of TCP acks in the
Sat-link ?, large packets ?, medium size ?)

Thanks,

Karsten

Hi,

I've just started looking ip-over-dvb and have a question about part of draft-clausen-ipdvb-enc-00.txt which I hope someone can answer.

On page 10 there is a table showing the meaning of the PUSI and AFC bits in the TS packet header, followed by 2 paragraphs of explanation.  The second paragraph says:
"
        The TS Packet that carries the last byte of a SNDU MUST always have 
        an adaptation field. In case this was the last SNDU (0/11 PUSI/AFC) 
        the TS Packet is filled with stuffing bytes. In case another SNDU 
        starts in this TS Packet, another 4-byte adaptation field is 
        inserted before the next SNDU. "

I think this means that the adaptation field is used as stuffing bytes when there are no more SNDUs, so there will be 184 - x bytes of stuffing where x is the length of the last part of the SNDU.  Is this correct?

If there is another SNDU does 'another 4-byte adaptation field' mean the one that is always carried or another one on top of that?  In other words, do you get
  ________________ ____________ ______________
  ... end of SNDU | adap field | next SNDU ...
  ________________ ____________ ______________

or 
  ________________ ____________ ____________ _____________
  ... end of SNDU | adap field | adap field | next SNDU...
  ________________ ____________ ____________ _____________

?

Thanks,
