Hi Shraddha,







Thanks. Actually, I don't really want to define other metric types.

Let's go back to the bandwidth-metric related to bandwidth capability. My worry 
is that bandwidth-metric (whether it is automatically calculated or manually 
configured) is not cumulative in nature, which is different from IGP default 
metric/TE metric/delay metric, so that SPF based on bandwidth-metric may get an 
unexpected path (see the example of the original mail). Can more text be added 
in the draft to describe why this can work ?






Regards,


PSF

Hi Pengshaofu,


 


If an operator wants to configure any other metric type draft provides a 
mechanism with generic metric.


Generic metric allows any standard or user-defined type metric to be configured.


The draft allows for any computing application such as Flex-algo, CSPF etc to 
make use of the


Metric. The intention of the draft is that for a particular computation same 
metric-type is used


throughout the network. If that is not clear, I’ll add some text in the draft.


 


Using a combination of different metrics for a single computation would need 
significant change to SPF algorithm and it is not in the scope of the draft 
"Flexible Algorithms: Bandwidth, Delay, Metrics and Constraints".


 


Hope that clarifies.

Hi Shraddha,

 

The two methods of automatic generation of BW-metric introduced in the draft 
are also likely to be the method of manual configuration of BW-metric by 
operators. Operators can certainly manually configure any  BW-metric he wants 
to configure.

However, the manually configured BW-metric cannot deviate from the actual 
bandwidth capacity of the link, otherwise it could be any other names such as 
BX-metric.

For manual assignment, the problem may still exist We can find an example that  
the accumulated bandwidth-metric on the path may offset the manually increased 
bandwidth-metric of links on the path.

Combination of bandwidth attribute of link and other metric that is cumulative 
may be another co-exist way to completely address this issue.

 

Regards,

PSF

Hi Pengshaofu,


 


I was suggesting to manually assign bandwidth metric which will override the 
automatic metric calculation


as described in the draft section 5. Physically adding more fiber/capacity is 
not a feasible solution.

Hi Shraddha,

 

Thanks for your rely.

So it seems that the scheme may lead to the selection of links with less 
bandwidth. To address this point, the method as you described to assign more 
bandwidth to high bandwidth links seems not always possible, e.g, adding more 
fiber ?

Can this point can be addressed by combination of bandwidth attribute of link 
and other metric that is cumulative ? IMO, bandwidth is not cumulative.

Hi Peng shaofu,


 


As per the draft, if automatic metric calculation with reference bandwidth 
method is used to calculate the metric


Then as per your example s->D path will be chosen since metric is 10.


Lets say operator wants to choose S->X1->X2-àX10->D path then operator can 
manually assign higher bandwidth


Metric on S->D link which will ensure S->D path is not the least cost path.

Sorry for spelling mistakens in the previous email.

updated text:

 


 

Hi WG,

 

I have a little doubt about the scheme described in this document.

See the following example:

 

S ---- X1 ----- X2 ---- ... ... ----- X10 ----- D

    \----------------------------------------------/

 

Suppose the links in S---X1---X2...---D have the same bandwidth  10G, and the 
link S-D has bandwidth 1G.

Suppose that we select "reference bandwidth = 100G", then, 

each link  in S---X1---X2...---D will have the same bandwidth-metric  10 (i.e., 
100/10)

link S-D will have a bandwidth-metric 100 (i.e., 100/1)

 

So flex-algo path from S to D based on bandwidth-metric will be S-D, not 
S---X1---X2...---D, because the later has a large cumulative bandwitdh-metric 
(i.e., 11*10).

But our expect path should not be S-D, but S---X1---X2...---D, as it has large 
bandwidth.

Do I misunderstand anything ?

 

Regards,

PSF
