Hi, Peter：
Different data planes use different Flex-Algorithm and associated metric, they
can’t be mixed.
Or, would you like to point out why the following scenarios can’t be achieved
via the FAPM?
1) The PE router has three loopback addresses(Lo1-Lo3), each associated with
different Flex-ALgorithhms, and also different metrics. They are advertised via
the FAPM, no MPLS SIDs are associated with these loopack prefixes
advertisements.
2) The PE router has also another inter-area/inter-domain prefixes(IPextra),
with the FAPM and MPLS SID advertised via the prefixes advertisements.
When the PE in other ends want to send the traffic to theses addresses:
1) To the formers three destinations(Lo1-Lo3), the FIB that are formed by the
associated FAPM will be used, that is, the IP-based forwarding will be selected.
2) To the Inter-area/inter-domain prefixes the FIB that are formed via the FAPM
and the associated SID, the MPLS-based forwarding will be selected.
Why can’t they coexist?
FAPM Sub-TLV is a sub-TLV of TLVs 135, 235, 236, and 237. These TLVs
advertise the reachability of the prefix in algorithm 0.
For an IP algo prefix, which is associated with the flex-algorithm, the
reachability in algorithm 0 must not be advertised. So we have to use a
different top level TLV.
thanks,
Peter

Hi, Peter:
The definition of FAPM for IS-IS and OSPF doesn’t prevent from it is used for
the intra-area prefixes.
If we advertise the different loopback addresses via the FAPM, associate them
to different Flex-Algo and related metrics, and does not allocate the MPLS SID,
we can achieve the IP-Flex effect then.
as I said, we can not mix metrics for different data-planes.
So, what’s the additional value of the IP-Flexalgo draft then?
please read the draft. It defines the flex-algo for IP data plane.
thanks,
Peter

IS-IS Flexible Algorithm Prefix Metric Sub-TLV” and “OSPF Flexible Algorithm
Prefix Metric Sub-TLV” are defined for advertisement of algorithm specific
metric for inter-area inter-AS prefixes for SR-MPLS data-plane.
SR MPLS and IP are independent data-planes used for flex-algo. We can not mix
their metric.
