Hi Gunter,

The difference in IGP signalling seems to be because the ELC is a capability 
which is advertised differently than ERLD which is a limit. Are you saying that 
ELC does not have value by itself without the ERLD?

IMHO it makes sense to retain ELC as capability of the router (as specified in 
the IGP specs) and position ERLD as a MSD sub-type for indicating the limit. 
This way we have the flexibility of signalling ERLD both per node and per 
ingress link/LC level.

Thanks,
Ketan

Subject: [Idr] Signalling ERLD (ISIS, OSPF and BGP-LS)

In LSR WG the following drafts document the signaling of ELC and RLD:
* draft-ietf-ospf-mpls-elc
* draft-ietf-isis-mpls-elc

When exporting this information using BGP-LS encoding to a controller, there is 
need for BGP-LS extension by means of new TLVs.

BGP-LS is signaling ERLD (entropy capable readable label depth) ISIS/OSPF is 
signaling individually ELC and RLD

I was working upon the IANA section, and discovered some inconsistency that 
should be addressed:
* Why is IGP signaling individual ELC and RLD? ERLD is what was decided upon 
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-mpls-spring-entropy-label-10)
* What are the plans to request IANA code points for these drafts?
* (E)RLD seems to have meaning only from NODE perspective, (I assume that LINK 
ERLD is not of any value at all, is that a correct assumption?)

Abstract:
   This document defines the attribute encoding to use for BGP-LS to
   expose ERLD "Entropy capable Readable Label Depth" from a node to a
   centralised controller (PCE/SDN).
