As usual +1 Les Simply think what is the _L3 construct_ ISIS runs over which is easily identified as the same thing that adjacency runs over. If adjacency runs over each constituent of L2 bundel we don't have L2, we have L3 with confused naming. If adjacency runs over the L2 bundle the bundle is an L3 construct and hence MTID applies
again, to keep things orthogonal (mostly on the encoding side but also underlying architecture) I would derive 225 the same way we run 222. Otherwise we end up in funky places like "what happens if this bundle has more than one MTID and if it runs on no MT and a MTID" as well and what does it mean if it's missing and what if someone doesn't understand it and so on and so on. That stuff has been pretty well reviewed and thought out when it was done and all the tlv/subtlv discussions had then ... --- tony On Sun, Mar 29, 2020 at 8:57 AM Les Ginsberg (ginsberg) <ginsb...@cisco.com> wrote: > Peter/Aijun - > > We are in agreement. > I never said that an L2 Bundle member could/should be associated with a > specific MTID. > > It is the L3 adjacency that has the MTID association. > If we were going to support MTID in TLV 25 the correct place to put it > would be as part of the " Parent L3 Neighbor Descriptor". > > Les > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Lsr <lsr-boun...@ietf.org> On Behalf Of Aijun Wang > > Sent: Sunday, March 29, 2020 3:46 AM > > To: Peter Psenak <ppsenak=40cisco....@dmarc.ietf.org> > > Cc: peng.sha...@zte.com.cn; Dongjie (Jimmy) <jie.d...@huawei.com>; > > xie...@chinatelecom.cn; Les Ginsberg (ginsberg) > > <ginsberg=40cisco....@dmarc.ietf.org>; lsr@ietf.org; Tony Przygienda > > <tonysi...@gmail.com> > > Subject: Re: [Lsr] Using IS-IS Multi-Topology (MT) for Segment Routing > > basedVirtual Transport Network > > > > I have the same consideration as Peter. > > > > Aijun Wang > > China Telecom > > > > > On Mar 29, 2020, at 17:10, Peter Psenak > > <ppsenak=40cisco....@dmarc.ietf.org> wrote: > > > > > > Hi Les, > > > > > >> On 29/03/2020 00:00, Les Ginsberg (ginsberg) wrote: > > >> Tony – > > >> There are a few misunderstandings in your post. > > >> Let me try to correct them. > > >> RFC 8668 defines a new top-level TLV (25).
