Hi,

maybe I am overlooking something: LTP already provides asynchronous 
reception reports. Whether these are reporting gaps (NAK) or confirm 
received parts (ACK) seems largely equivalent (the entries may just vary 
by one depending on where we have gaps). When to send these asynchronous 
reports is and shall be completely up to the receiver.

Regards,
Felix

I think Keith thought it as if the last CP was missing.
 
That’s not how I read “will send the whole block and then a CP, which will 
elicit a RS” but I may have misunderstood.
 
Immediately NACK RS can save time as amount of the difference between 
current time and the last CP’s arrival time. I think the effect can be 
negligible when bandwidth is very high and a session block length is 
relatively small, so saving time is order of ms. Of course this effect 
signifies as big as an RTT when the last CP from a sender is lost during 
transmission.
 
Yes, in my example 9.96 seconds, about 2% of a round trip.  I think this 
is what Carlo was saying.
 
But I do like the way of “immediately RS”. However the immediately 
discretionary RS NACK can quickly burn out the return link bandwidth when 
continuous segment losses are happening while for independent segment loss 
it will be reasonable. There should be some optimization and I think this 
concept make LTP be expandable in various space environment.
 
I worry that this would introduce some additional configuration complexity 
in a protocol that is already very complex to configure.

Keith, I think this isn’t quite right.
 
Suppose we’re sending a block that is 1 Megabyte in size, split into 
10,000 segments of 100 bytes each.  Suppose the OWLT is 240 seconds and 
the transmission rate is 800 kbps (so 100,000 bytes per second).
 
Suppose the 3rd segment is lost.  The receiver will detect this loss when 
the 4th segment is received.  That segment will have left the antenna .04 
seconds after transmission began, and it will arrive at the receiver 240 
seconds later.  The receiver will transmit a report segment immediately; 
let’s ignore the processing and radiation time for issuing the report and 
say that the report is received at the sender 240 seconds after the 
arrival of the 4th segment ? so 480.04 seconds after transmission began. 
That’s the time at which retransmission can be initiated, right?
 
Now suppose there is no further data loss.  The EOB CP leaves the antenna 
10 seconds after transmission began and arrives at the receiver 240 
seconds later.  The earlier report is still en route to the sender, so the 
lost segment has not yet been retransmitted.  The receiver transmits the 
CP-triggered report immediately, at 250 seconds after transmission began. 
That report is received at the sender 240 seconds after arrival of the 
last segment, so 490 seconds after transmission began; that’s the earliest 
time at which retransmission can be initiated.
 
So it seems to me that the gap-triggered RS has reduced closure latency by 
9.96 seconds, not by 1 RTT.  What have I got wrong?

I think the 'win' would be (comparing a system that generated proactive 
NACKs vs. a system that generated a CP only at the end of the block):
 
If there are 10,000 LTP segments and the 3rd segment is lost:
The NACK system will nack it “immediately” and elicit a retransmission. 
Increased latency: about 1 segment.
The non-NACK (call it CP-only) system will send the whole block and then a 
CP, which will elicit a RS and cause the hole to be filled.  Adds 1 RTT 
(and 1 retransmitted segment) to the block.
 
So the NACK system can save an RTT.  If the loss rate is small (say, the 
probability of filling all holes in one CP/RS/ReTX event is high) then 
that’s really all it saves, regardless of the number of losses in the 
block.  If the loss rate is high enough that the expected number of 
CP/RS/ReTX cycles is higher, the benefit is greater).
 
So in general if there are N segments and p(segment loss) is p, the number 
of retransmission rounds should be about -log(N)/log(p) + 1
 
N = 10,000
P = 0.1
# rounds: 5
 
N = 10,000
P = 0.01
# rounds: 3
 
So a proactive-NACK implementation could potentially save about 5 RTTs 
over a CP-only implementation (sort of a blatent assumption that none of 
the losses are ‘too close’ to the end, but hey).
 
                                v/r,

    Dear all,
       on terrestrial applications LTP segment may arrive out of order, 
thus NACK could result in unecessary retranmissions; maybe this is not a 
problem as it is the same in TCP (fast retransmit cannot tolerate more 
than a disorder of 3 TCP segments).
    In space, maybe we can assume ordered delivery of LTP segment, thus is 
true that the LTP receiver could immediately send a NACK as soon as a gap 
is found (i.e. at the first non contigous claim rfeceived), instead of 
waiting for the CP, thus saving some time; however, the advantage is 
limited. If we call radiation time the time necessary to tranmit "on air" 
a block, we could say that the NACK time gain should be on the evarage of 
about a half of the radiatrion time. This saved time should however be 
compared with the RTT, wich is the minimum time necessary for loss 
recovery. RTT in space is usually >> radiation time, thus the advantage 
would be negligible. Maybe it could be useful on LEO, where the RTT is 
small, but we should also have large blocks and slow links...

    At first glance I don’t see a space network configuration in which the 
LTP segments belonging to a given LTP block could arrived misordered. 
Perhaps if LTP is operated over UDP also in space (the current spec does 
not prohibit it to the best of my memory) this could happen but I’d say it 
is an unlikely configuration.

    But for CCSDS applications (and LTPv2 is a CCSDS thing not an IETF 
thing) maybe we make the assumption that segments are not misordered?  Or 
that the misordering is ‘small’ so that some sort of timer / couter at the 
receiver could filter out small anomalies?  (e.g. hold off sending a NACK 
for 1,000 segments)?

    Yes, and for good reason: the design of LTP was originally lifted 
directly from the CFDP Acknowledged Procedures (and thereupon tweaked a 
bit).  I think the argument against proactively reporting negative DS 
reception claims was that the missing segments might be already en route 
but slightly delayed due to transmission over a longer path.  In space 
flight communications this won’t happen because LTP will be running 
directly over the link; when we test LTP on Earth it is somewhat more 
likely, as LTP is running directly over UDP/IP and in theory those packets 
might travel over multiple different routes.

    I think maybe a larger opportunity for improvement would be to have a 
capability for a receiver to proactively NACK segments WITHOUT having to 
receive a checkpoint first.  That would allow autonomously sending NACKs 
during the block transmission (thereby filling holes quickly as they are 
detected) and then relying on the CP/RS/RA exchange to close out the 
session.

    Hi, guys.  I believe we are actually talking about two distinct things 
here.
 
    It is true that positive ACKs are required.  Positive acknowledgments 
turn off the retransmission timers for checkpoints, report segments, and 
cancellation segments.
 
    Separately, the individual "claims" within a report segment might be 
either positive or negative.  I agree with Carlo, but think Cheol is 
correct that negative claims can yield a small overhead advantage.  For 
any LTP transmission whose scope is from block offset P to Q in which 
there are N gaps:
 
    ?       If one of the gaps begins at P and another of the gaps ends at 
Q, then the report must contain either N negative claims or N - 1 positive 
claims.
 
    ?       If no gap begins at P and no gap ends at Q, then the report 
must contain either N negative claims or N + 1 positive claims.
 
    ?       If one of the gaps begins at P or one of the gaps ends at Q, 
but not both, then the report must contain either N negative claims or N 
positive claims.
 
    I would expect the second of these cases to occur more frequently than 
the other two, assuming AOS/LOS events don't occur during the 
transmission.
 
    I don't see how either negative or positive claims processing is 
simpler or easier, though; the representations are equivalent.  Ease of 
implementation would depend strictly on the manner in which segment 
information is stored and accessed at the sending and receiving ends of 
the transmission.  I personally found positive claims to be simpler to 
work with.

    Dear Cheol,
 
         let me consider an LTP block with for example 20 non contigous 
losses, i.e. 20 gaps. The corresponding RS would include either 20 
positive claims (if you have a gap at the start or at the end of the 
block) or 21 cl;aims otherwise.
 
    With NAK claim you would need 20 megative claims. Is that so 
different?
 
    You can say that it is easier to resend what has been explicietely 
said is missing, true; however, on the rx side it is easier to say what 
has been received than what is missing; all things considered, I cannot 
see any signifiocant advantage by excplicietely declaring gaps instead of 
received chunks.
 
    Yours,
 
       Carlo

    I think current LTP spec has positive ACK and negative ACK both. So if 
it is reversed the result will be the same.
 
    Let me bring below example again. To provide claim inforamtion for 
retransmission of block 1000-2999,
 
 
    <<original-positive ACK>>
 
    lower bound = 0
 
    upper bound = 7000
 
    negative reception claim count = 2
 
    offset = 0      <-- Positive ACK
 
    length = 1000  <-- Positive ACK
 
    offset = 3000  <-- Positive ACK
 
    length = 4000  <-- Positive ACK
 
    * Negative ACKs are hidden in separated Positive ACKs.
 
 
    <<negative ACK>>
 
    lower bound = 0       <-- Positive ACK
 
    upper bound = 7000   <-- Positive ACK
 
    negative reception claim count = 1
 
    offset = 1000  <-- Negative ACK
 
    length = 2000  <-- Negative ACK
 
 
    I think the latter case can work too! Or am I missing something?

Whilst Negative ACKs can be very efficient for bulk data in the

metadata exchange, end of data, end of transaction, pause, resume etc 
require positive ACKs. Otherwise the state machines will never close.

    Hi Felix,
 
    I think current LTP spec quite works well with negative claim also. 
Consider below reception claim according to the LTP spec but negative 
claim.
 
    lower bound = 0
 
    upper bound = 7000
 
    negative reception claim count = 1
 
    offset = 1000
 
    length = 2000
 
    it means a receiver is requesting block of segements which starts at 
1000 and length is 2000, i.e., 1000 ~ 2999, for retransmission.
 
    A sender can safely remove 2 blocks, i.e., 0 - 999 and 3000 - 7000. I 
think it is simpler, lower overhead and *importantly* easier to calculate 
(acutally no painful for localizing the target segment position).

    Greetings,
 
 
    This is Cheol. I am developing an LTP reference implementation. During 
reading the LTP specification (RFC-5326), the preparation of reception 
claim in Report Segment makes me confusing about why it is positive claim 
not negative claim for segments that were not received successfully (i.e., 
NAK).
 
 
    For reference, CFDP’s NAK PDU has the negative claim structure when it 
is requested to report missing PDUs. Does anyone know about the background 
of choosing the positive claim for NAK operation in LTP?
 
    I think negative claim is simpler and more efficient in terms of 
overhead for sender and receiver both.
 
    I like to listen experts’ opinion on LTP operation and honestly hope 
it to be changed in newly coming LTP spec.
 
 
    Cheol
