主题: Questions to draft-ji-i2rs-usecases-ccne-service-00

 

Xiao Feng and ShunWan, 

 

draft-ji-i2rs-usecases-ccne-service-00 provides some interesting use cases
for I2RS. 

 

For the first case “Controlling Path by RR”, are you proposing interfaces
to RR router?  Is it correct? What if the request to RR conflict with what
RR’s own computation from all other routers? 

ShunWan:

Yes, we’re proposing interfaces to RR router.  If have conflict, RR should
follow the require from controller.

Section 3.1

…

To assist network operators in addressing this challenge, we

   present some I2RS RR use case, introduce a set of I2RS programmatic

   APIs for RR that allows a network operator to flexibly control

   routing between the traffic ingresses and egresses within an ISP's

   network.

 

 

For the following text (3.1.3): Are you trying to make RR dictate routes
within one AS with explicit commands,  but not via changing RIB?

“RR can compute the routes for every router and install/distribute the
routes to corresponding routers”

 

ShunWan:Yes.

   For example, for a path from Source 1 (S1) to Destination 1 (D1), if

   the computed path is: S1-A-B-C-D1, then the RR will distribute a

   route (D1) to C with the nexthop set to D1; a route (D1) to B with

   the nexthop set to C, and a route (D1) to A with the nexthop set to

   B, and finally the route (D1) will be distributed to S1 by A.

For the second case on PCE, are you suggesting using PCEP to control
router’s FIB?
