Nice!

Thanks for listening.

(LISP Traffic Engineering) to Experimental RFC

 

Hi Adrian 

 

Agree to your suggestion will shorten it to 

 

Introduction
This document describes extensions to the Locator/Identifier Separation 
Protocol (LISP) for traffic engineering features.

-New begin-

For clarity, this document adopts the definition of Traffic Engineering (TE) 
provided in [RFC9522]. Specifically, TE in the Internet context is defined as 
comprising three main components: policy, path steering, and resource 
management. This document primarily focuses on the path steering aspect of TE, 
by specifying how Explicit Locator Paths (ELPs) can be used to guide traffic 
through specific intermediate Tunnel Routers (xTRs) in a LISP network. Elements 
of policy may be implicitly supported where operator intent is reflected in ELP 
selection, and resource management is assumed to be handled by external control 
systems or network management tools. A detailed discussion of those aspects is 
out of scope for this document.
- New end -

 

Thanks again for your review

Padma (and on behalf of co-authors)

Hi Padma,

 

That text looks good. I’m not sure it is necessary to repeat the definitions of 
the three component terms (just listing them would be OK). But it also doesn’t 
hurt to include them.

 

Cheers,

Adrian

(LISP Traffic Engineering) to Experimental RFC

 

Hi Adrian 

 

Thank you for your review and suggestions.

 

How about if we add the following in the introduction to address your comment?

 

Introduction
This document describes extensions to the Locator/Identifier Separation 
Protocol (LISP) for traffic engineering features.

-New begin-

For clarity, this document adopts the definition of Traffic Engineering 
provided in [RFC9522]. Specifically, TE in the Internet context is defined as 
comprising three main components:
Policy: The specification of operator intent with respect to traffic handling, 
such as performance objectives or path constraints.
Path Steering: The ability to influence or determine the actual forwarding 
paths used by traffic, consistent with the policy.
Resource Management: The monitoring and allocation of network resources to 
support the desired traffic behavior.

This document primarily focuses on the Path Steering aspect of TE, by 
specifying how Explicit Locator Paths (ELPs) can be used to guide traffic 
through specific intermediate xTRs in a LISP network. Elements of Policy may be 
implicitly supported where operator intent is reflected in ELP selection, and 
Resource Management is assumed to be handled by external control systems or 
network management tools. A detailed discussion of those aspects is out of 
scope for this document.

Hi all,

The words "Traffic Engineering" caused the claxon to go off in my cave deep 
below the citadel.

You may find it helpful to your readers to give some explanation of TE. 
Although this is commonly assumed to be a well-understood term, it isn't always 
interpreted in the same way.
A reference you could use is RFC 9522. This defines TE in the Internet context 
and splits it into Policy, Path Steering, and Resource Management. It may be a 
good idea for this draft to explain which of those components it addresses 
(possibly all of them).

Cheers,
Adrian

The IESG has received a request from the Locator/ID Separation Protocol WG
(lisp) to consider the following document: - 'LISP Traffic Engineering'
  <draft-ietf-lisp-te-21.txt> as Experimental RFC

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final
comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
last-c...@ietf.org <mailto:last-c...@ietf.org>  mailing lists by 2025-05-28. 
Exceptionally, comments may
be sent to i...@ietf.org <mailto:i...@ietf.org>  instead. In either case, 
please retain the beginning
of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract


   This document describes how LISP re-encapsulating tunnels can be used
   for Traffic Engineering purposes.  The mechanisms described in this
   document require no LISP protocol changes but do introduce a new
   locator (RLOC) encoding.  The Traffic Engineering features provided
   by these LISP mechanisms can span intra-domain, inter-domain, or a
   combination of both.
