Brian and Shane,
I read the draft. It is well written. Here are some comments:
Text:
o At intermediate router(s) that perform ECMP or LAG for packets
whose source address is a TEP, the hash SHOULD minimally include
the triple {dest addr, source addr, flow label} to meet the
[RFC3697] rules. In practice, since the routers are assumed to be
unaware of tunneled traffic, this means adding the flow label to
the existing 5-tuple hash of the outer IP header.
o At intermediate router(s) that perform ECMP or LAG for packets
whose source address is a TEP, the hash MUST minimally include the
triple {dest addr, source addr, flow label} to meet the [RFC3697]
rules. In practice, since the routers are assumed to be unaware
of tunneled traffic, this means intermediate router(s) SHOULD add
the flow label to the existing 5-tuple hash of the outer IP
header.
Two paragraphs are the same except one has "hash SHOULD" and another has
"hash MUST".
Text:
It might be possible to make this classifier stateless, by using a
suitable modulo(N) hash of the inner IP header's 5-tuple as the
pseudo-random value.
The document text uses N in referring N paths. It causes a confusion in
using modulo(N) here. It should be modulo (2**20)
Regards,
Lucy
