Hi Robert:

There may be other egress protection solution. However, the PLR is a P node and 
cannot sense BGP information. The PLR needs to establish a master/backup PE 
relationship. In some implementations as I know, It was manually specified in 
some way. Dynamic and automated I'm not sure if there's a available and safe 
solution.

Regards

Zhibo

Huzhibo,

> specifying the master/backup relationship of egress protection is complex

Sure is - but there is absolutely no requirement to do it. BGP already carries 
all information needed to instantiate such protection. It is therefore all 
dynamic and automated.

As said cost is extra LFIB space on the PEs acting as a backup. With per VRF or 
per CE label allocation that is not big deal. With per prefix label allocation 
yes that can be a resource constraint to consider.

So if we are discussing drawbacks of any proposal let's just use correct 
arguments :)

Cheers,
R.

Hi, Shraddha:

     If there are a large number of CE-to-PE mix-homing scenarios, specifying 
the master/backup relationship of egress protection is complex, which greatly 
increases deployment complexity. Therefore, local protection is not applicable 
to all scenarios. In addition, local protection also generates suboptimal 
paths. Therefore, even if local protection is deployed, speeding up ingress PE 
convergence is useful.

Huzhibo,

Local protection is always executed on the node where failure occurs (for link 
protection) and the previous node
(for node failure). You don’t really require the failure event to propagate to 
another domain to trigger local protection.

Hi, Shraddha:

If you punch a hole in the summary, the other area nodes come to know about the 
mid-point failure.---> Yes, you're right. Once any node knows about the 
mid-point failure,It can execution local protection by looking up next sid to 
fix SRv6 Policy reachability.

Thanks

Zhibo

Aijun,

There are multiple possible solutions for the SR-Policy mid-point failure 
scenario
1.       Use anycast SID as mid-points for redundancy
2.       Mid-point failure local protection by looking up next sid (This is 
probably the one you pointed out)
3.       E2E S-BFD for SR-Policy  path liveness detection

If you punch a hole in the summary, the other area nodes come to know about the 
mid-point failure
and remove the failed node reachability. It is not clear how that is solving 
the SR-Policy liveness problem.

Hi, Shraddha:

If the traffic is steered via the SRv6 policy, the intermediate points should 
also be protected. There are already one draft to propose the solution( please 
refer to 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-chen-rtgwg-srv6-midpoint-protection-05<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-chen-rtgwg-srv6-midpoint-protection-05__;!!NEt6yMaO-gk!SSAVRO90Q62ieX5DTTgZBW4FKiC_YHXU9biL8pK-jEOUv7jmUHGUaHAt89kXBaSb$>.)
  In such situation, if the intermediate points located in different areas, how 
then know the liveness of each other if ABR has the summary address advertised? 
We will not consider to configure BFD on every intermediate points.

WG,

MPLS egress protection framework RFC 8679 provides a mechanism to locally 
protect the traffic during
PE failures. The concepts can be applied to SRv6 as well. This mechanism is 
much more efficient and quick because it locally provides fast protection
And switchover to the other PE.
If you compare this  to  the mechanisms being discussed in this thread where 
the failure information is being
propagated by the egress PE to ABR and then  ABR to the ingress, the failover 
is going to be much slower.
The egress protection technology does not flood any information outside of the 
domain and hence does not
affect the IGP scale.

This is a valid alternate solution to solve the problem at hand IMO.
I would be interested to see if people have use cases where egress protection 
can’t be applied.

Hi Aijun,

I object to adding negative liveness to the LSDB because of the scale and 
because it adds scale during failures.
[WAJ] If we have no such mechanism, operator should either advertise the host 
routes across areas(which has scale problem), or lose the fast convergences for 
some overlay services(which defeat the user experiences).
Within the real network, there is very rare chance for the massive failure. And 
even such thing happen accidently, the information about node liveness is 
countable, is there any router can’t process such information?
The received unreachable information does not trigger the SPF calculation. Will 
they influence intensively the performance of the router?


If the scale is equal, then I would prefer to see flooding positive information 
rather than negative information.  Operationally this is key: if there is a 
failure and positive information doesn’t propagate, then it’s a bug that will 
be found in due course and the operator can react outside of a failure scenario.

Having a scale failure on top of a topology failure is a far more painful 
scenario.

The odds of a mass failure may be low. The fact of the matter is that they 
still happen. It is our job to ensure that the IGP performs well when it does.

Increasing the size of the LSDB always affects performance. It slows flooding. 
Some nodes may not realize that SPF is not needed.  When LSP fragments are 
rearranged, inferring that SPF is not necessary is non-trivial. Impacting 
router and network performance is a given.


My understanding is that N node failures would result in O(N) bytes added to 
the LSDB.  If someone has a way to compress that information to O(1), I (and 
Claude Shannon) would be interested.
[WAJ] Do you have other determined solutions except the PUB/SUB mechanism that 
does not exist in current IGP?


None of the mechanisms being discussed currently exist.

I have no objections to Robert’s BGP propagation ideas if that’s workable.

This is simply not the IGP’s job and the IGP is not a dump truck.

Tony
