Hi, Peter:

The differences between our proposals are just how to indicate the PUA/UPA 
information along with the advertised prefixes. All other mechanisms/procedures 
are the same, right?

Then one simple way for the convergence is just the encoding: Let the 
unreachable prefixes associated with “prefix originator”(with the value set to 
NULL”) and also set its metrics to MAX-Value.

there is no need to introduce any new encoding. That the whole point of the UPA draft. We use existing mechanism.

thanks,
Peter



Other parts can follow the current PUA drafts, which we have discussed 
intensively in the list and I think you have no any objections.

Anyway, to make the UPA mechanism take effect, you will also require the router 
be upgraded. And the “Max-Value” solution doesn’t necessarily indicate the 
prefix is lost. We should announce such information explicitly.

We can also discuss other convergence solutions.

Hi Aijun,

thanks for your interest in the UPA draft.

I'm not sure what exactly is there in your draft that you would like to merge. 
The mechanism that we use in the UPA draft is an existing mechanism and it 
avoids the the problems that have been discussed in context of your draft in 
the past completely.

thanks,
Peter

Hi, Authors of UPA(Unreachable Prefixes Announcement) draft:
After reading your newly proposed draft 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ppsenak-lsr-igp-ureach-prefix-announce/ 
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ppsenak-lsr-igp-ureach-prefix-announce/>, we 
found that the overall aim and procedures in your draft are getting closer again to the 
already intensely discussed PUA/PUAM 
solutions(https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-wang-lsr-prefix-unreachable-annoucement-09
 
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-wang-lsr-prefix-unreachable-annoucement-09>).
Regardless to the difference of the two proposals, here we propose to converge 
the solutions, based on the PUA/PUAM draft, as we all know the WG has discussed 
PUA/PUAM draft about two years, there is no reason to discuss again the similar 
procedures and the later work should respect the former’s efforts.
If you agree, we can discuss the details of  convergence offline. If you don’t 
agree, we can discuss these solutions openly within the WG list.
