Subject: Re: [Lsr] Working Group Last Call for "OSPFv3 Extensions for SRv6" - 
draft-ietf-lsr-ospfv3-srv6-extensions-06.txt (Corrected Address)

Hello Acee/All,

There has not been any further comment/feedback on the point that Dirk brought 
up in the thread below:
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/lsr/_4HcJEsteNQxjxuot1uLdoXeH6s/

I want to point out that not just the LA-flag, but also the P-flag is required 
for propagation of the SRv6 Locator LSA across NSSA.

Perhaps the best option available to us is to replace the "Flags" field in the 
SRv6 Locator TLV (refer to 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-lsr-ospfv3-srv6-extensions-06#section-6.1)
 with the "PrefixOptions" field that is present in all the OSPFv3 prefix 
reachability advertisements in RFC5340/8362. This will also bring a nice 
consistency for OSPFv3 even though some flags are unused in the SRv6 context.

We only have 1 bit left - 
https://www.iana.org/assignments/ospfv3-parameters/ospfv3-parameters.xhtml#ospfv3-parameters-4
 So, perhaps we need to add the PrefixOptions using the existing registry and 
we need a new field and registry that could be advertised in Extended LSAs. Is 
this the first introduction of the N flag for OSPFv3 in any LSA? I don’t see it 
in https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc8666/


Additionally, we can use the remaining bit available for AC-flag (anycast) 
similar to the ISIS SRv6 spec.

Note that this change would not be backward compatible with the current spec 
since the bit positions are moving.

Looking for feedback/input from the WG on this proposed change.

I think we’d just need to get feedback from Dirk (who made the comment that 
initiated this) and the co-authors. Of course, anyone with know of OSPFv3 SRv6 
can comment.

Thanks,
Acee

Thanks,
Ketan

As promised in today’s LSR WG meeting, this begins a 3 week WG Last Call, 
ending on August 19th, 2022, for draft-ietf-lsr-ospfv3-srv6-extensions. The 
extra week is to account for PIST (Post-IETF Stress Syndrome). The 
corresponding IS-IS draft is already on the RFC Queue and there are 
implementations.
