Flex algo is usually mentioned in the context of SR-TE to help reduced SRH size to circumvent MSD issues for both SRV6 and SR-MPLS,

though segment list reduction may be seen as one of the benefits of the flex-algo, it is certainly not the primary motivation behind it. The primary motivation of flex-algo is to provide dynamic any to any constrained based routing.

however can the 0-127 flex algo extensions since it’s an IGP extension used in any pure IP network independent of SR flavors SR-MPLS or SRv6.

SR/SRv6 is used as a dataplane. Any data plane can be used, if it provides a way to route an algo specific traffic.


Also can flex algo be used in conjunction with RSVP-TE or PPR(preferred path routing).

same answer as above.

thanks,
Peter


Kind regards

    One could have an algo with MSD/ERLD as optimizations constrains,
    would be quite similar to colored links. Note - ERLD has implemented
    node capabilities only, so all links on a node will have to be
    pruned.____

    The tradeoffs are - having centralized controller with global view
    computing a path that meets the constraints(classical BGP-LS + PCEP
    scenario) vs building a dynamic topology of connected nodes that
    meet a set of constrains, in first case, change in
    topology/capabilities would cause path recalculation/reoptimization
    on the PCE while in the second - IGP would recompute the topology
    locally.____

        Hi Wang,____

        ____

        You are correct. Though I wouldn’t call it a goal but rather a
        benefit/advantage – same applies to SR-MPLS where the label
        stack can be reduced.____

        Hi authors:____

        ____

        After reading through this draft lsr-flex-algo, I want to know
        whether there is a potential goal of this draft to reduce the
        SRH size with enabling flex-algo with admin group in SRv6
        deployment, because without flex-algo we have to have a big SRH
        size when the SRH include more SRv6 SIDs, if we enable flex-algo
        under special topology and link constraint condition, in theory
        we can even construct  a end to end SR path/tunnel without SRH,
        but it still meet TE requirement. So my question is whether the
        flex-algo can be used as tool to reduce SRH size?____
