Hi authors, My understanding is the draft is proposing a separate MT topology (unique MT-ID) to identify a forwarding treatment to be enforced on a shared resource. While this may work for limited number of MT topologies (i.e. forwarding treatments), as described in RF5120 there is overhead with creating/advertising and managing and running separate SPF for each of the MT topology. This will restrict the scalability of such approach (number of forwarding treatments to be realized) using this approach.
In I-D.draft-bestbar-lsr-spring-sa we are proposing carrying an independent ID (associated with the forwarding treatment) independent of the topology ID. This allows the # of forwarding treatmentst to be independent of the # of MT topologies that need to be managed by IGP; and hence, allow it to scale. Your feedback on this approach is welcome.

As you mentioned, both MT and MI can provide separate topologies and the topology based computation, and MI can provide separate LSDBs at some additional cost (separate adjacencies, etc.). In this document, the resource of VTN mainly refers to the forwarding plane resources, thus MT is chosen as it can provide the required functionality with less overhead. Hope this helps.

MT instances has separate topology but not separate LSDB where MI Multi instance RFC 6822 has a separate LSDB for resources isolation and I think would be a better fit for VTN underlay provisioning.

In fact perhaps it would also free some LSR bandwidth to really focus on protocol extensions. +1 IGPs grew a zoo of horns and bells by now and no'one tells the operators which spines are poisonous ;-) --- tony _______________________________________________ Lsr mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/lsr -- [图像已被发件人删除。]<http://www.verizon.com/> Gyan Mishra Network Solutions Architect M 301 502-1347 13101 Columbia Pike Silver Spring, MD Juniper Business Use Only
