" Nodes which originate FSP-LSPs MUST remember the last sequence number used for a given FSP-LSP and increment the sequence number when generating a new version.
FSP-LSP generation SHOULD utilize the "next" FSP-LSP ID each time new pulse information needs to be advertised i.e., if the most recent FSP-LSP ID used was A-00.n, the next set of pulse information SHOULD be advertised using FSP-LSP.ID A-00.n+1. This minimizes the possibility of confusion if other routers in the network have not yet removed A-00.n from their LSPDB. " So you tell me I onver-interpreted as "between restarts" ;-) OK, fine. Fair 'nuff. Maybe add one sentence clarification. Otherwise yeah, I'd like the draft to add the "in case of partition things may break but it's not much worse than before" ;-) and "assumption is that the overlay will retry after dropping session on negative so no positives are needed" and I'm ok with this thread. my big gripe about "don't do it in main ISIS, take service instance" remains though due to scalability concerns that bunch of senior folks here raised already -- tony On Wed, Dec 1, 2021 at 5:52 PM Les Ginsberg (ginsberg) <ginsb...@cisco.com> wrote: > Tony – > > > > > > *From:* Tony Przygienda <tonysi...@gmail.com> > *Sent:* Wednesday, December 1, 2021 7:58 AM > *To:* Peter Psenak (ppsenak) <ppse...@cisco.com> > *Cc:* Les Ginsberg (ginsberg) <ginsb...@cisco.com>; Hannes Gredler < > han...@gredler.at>; lsr <lsr@ietf.org>; Tony Li <tony...@tony.li>; Aijun > Wang <wangai...@tsinghua.org.cn>; Robert Raszuk <rob...@raszuk.net>; > Shraddha Hegde <shrad...@juniper.net> > *Subject:* Re: [Lsr] BGP vs PUA/PULSE > > > > 1. my question is different. why does the draft say that seqnr# & IDs have > to be preserved between restarts > > > > > > *[LES:] Section 4.3.1 of the draft tries to answer your question – but > there is no mention of “restart” there.* > > *There is in fact no mention of restart anywhere in the draft other than > to say pulses are not preserved across restarts.* > > > > *WE only retain the sequence #’s to make it easier to identify a new Pulse > LSP from a retransmission.* > > > > > > 2.
