Hi, Acee and Linda:

 

The mentioned information in this draft are more related to the links that 
connect the server to the edge router, than to the prefix of the app server.

For example, the “Capacity Index”, “Preference Index” are all related to the 
site, not the prefix. 

And, for “Load Measurement”, it is not enough to detect only the load to the 
server, but omits the load status of the link that connected the servers.

We should also considering the future possible extension, such as the bandwidth 
reservation on these links to the App server etc.

 

In conclusion, associate these attributes to the link is more reasonable than 
to the prefix.

Such links are another typical use case of passive/stub link within the network.

 

 

Best Regards

Exactly.

For OSPFv3 use E-LSAs (RFC8362)

Acee,

 

Thank you very much for suggesting using the Prefix TLV for carry the Running 
Status and environment of 5G Edge Computing servers.

 

In a nutshell, the  
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-dunbar-lsr-5g-edge-compute-ospf-ext/> 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-dunbar-lsr-5g-edge-compute-ospf-ext/ 
proposes the extension to LSA that can carry the three SubTLVs that are used to 
represent the Running Status and Environment information of the 5G Edge 
Computing Servers attached to the router:

 

 • Load measurement sub-TLV 

 • Capacity Index  Sub-TLV                            

 • Preference Index  Sub-TLV                                                   

 

Several sections of the draft are devoted to describe what those measurement 
are and why need them for 5G Edge Computing, which may have made it not so 
straightforward when reading in a rush.

 

The Goal of the OSPF extension is to carry those Sub-TLVs in the router’s LSA 
to be advertised to other routers in the 5G Local Data Network.

 

If using your suggested RFC7684 OSPFv2 Extended Prefix TLV, the extension does 
seem easier and cleaner:

 

We can have:

 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

| Load Measurement Sub-TLV                                      |

~                                                               ~

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+  

| capacity Index Sub-TLV                                        |

~                                                               ~

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+  

| Site Preference Sub-TLV                                       |

~                                                               ~  

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+  

 

 

RFC7684 only has the Extended Prefix TLV for IPv4. If the App Server addresses 
are in IPv6, should we specify the extension to RFC8362 in the same draft? Or 
define a new AF type for the same extension to RFC7684?

 

Your guidance is greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you very much.

 

Linda Dunbar

Subject: Re: Need 10 minute slot to discuss OSPF extension for 5G Edge 
Computing (was RE: [Lsr] IETF 109 LSR Presentation Slot Requests

 

We have a pretty full schedule and we add you as optional. I took a look at the 
draft and it is all over the place right now with standardization requested for 
one solution but 3 separate solutions partially specified. It could benefit 
from some WG mailing list discussion prior to a 10 minute presentation where we 
wouldn’t have time to discuss the many issues.

 

One major issue is that you should be extending RFC 7684 rather than RFC 3630 
and it seems you these app-server selection metrics should be associated with a 
prefix and NOT a stub link (i.e., the application server address).

 

I’ll try to read it in more depth before IETF 109.

 

Thanks,

Acee

LSR Chairs, YingZhen,

 

Can you give us 10 minute slot to present this new draft:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-dunbar-lsr-5g-edge-compute-ospf-ext/ 
<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdatatracker.ietf.org%2Fdoc%2Fdraft-dunbar-lsr-5g-edge-compute-ospf-ext%2F&data=04%7C01%7Clinda.dunbar%40futurewei.com%7C83f990f38fe14407efe208d880300245%7C0fee8ff2a3b240189c753a1d5591fedc%7C1%7C0%7C637400290992237706%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=CooHUjUYe%2BePz9rwBZe0orzPqku%2BoSL%2FrMVVa%2Fl2uIc%3D&reserved=0>
 

 

This draft describes an OSPF extension that can distribute the 5G Edge 
Computing App running status and environment, so that other routers in the 5G 
Local Data Network can make intelligent decision on optimizing forwarding of 
flows from UEs. The goal is to improve latency and performance for 5G Edge 
Computing services.

 

Thank you very much,

 

Linda Dunbar
