Hi Les,
About your comments, My opinion is as below: 1）It does not change the base spf in order to support flex-algo, but avoid changes to base spf when flex-algo is deployed. 2）Do you mean that one flex-algo should be associated with an MT? If so, Is it too complicated? Deploying both flex-algo and MT at the same time will bring a lot of burden to IGP protocol. We still believe it is very necessary to find a suitable solution for the problem. According to the previous discussion, the key point is the backward compatibility. It has been addressed in the new version using the existing mechanism which is consistent with RFC8042. Please refer to the latest version: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-gong-lsr-exclusive-link-for-flex-algo/ Further comments are welcome. Thanks again.

Please abandon your draft.

Considering the difference between IS-IS and OSPF, How about seperating the draft into two parts? One is for IS-IS, using the maximum link metric. The other is for OSPF, using the extension U-bit. It can leverage the existing mechanism as much as possible. Personally speaking,I think it is better if one solution is used for both IS-IS and OSPF. It will be great to get further comments.Thanks again.

On that we at least seem to agree. Changing Algo 0 SPF in order to accommodate a new requirement you have for flex-algo is simply wrong – which is why I still think your draft is not needed. What then remains, is whether there is any need in OSPF for the new “U-bit “ that you propose. I think not, but I will let my OSPF colleagues respond more specifically to that point. However, even if U-bit were deemed useful for OSPF, the reason for adding it would have nothing whatever to do with flex. The only justifiable reason would be that Algo 0 SPF required it.

SolutionA, The maximum link metric, which is backward compatible but may not work in OSPF, since the links with maximum link metric are not always treated as unreachable by OSPF routers. Besides, additional mechanisms are required for the Flex-Algorithm using IGP Metric in path calculation. SolutionB, The new extention, Which can avoid the above problems but backward incompatible, all nodes in the same area or level must support it. Each solution has its pros and cons. The co-authors would like more comments and suggestions from WG.

Still, you insist that an extension that requires ALL routers – whether they support flex algo or not – to utilize a new advertisement when computing algo 0 SPF is necessary. Your rationale for this is that this allows you to use IGP Metric for flex algo in cases where the IGP metric would have been set to maximum. But we already have the ability to define metrics specific to flex algo – and this is greatly enhanced by the generic metric defined in https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lsr-flex-algo-bw-con/ Requiring a non backwards compatible extension to be used in base protocol operation in order to support a new feature is exactly what we MUST NOT do when introducing protocol extensions. My opinion is unchanged – this is a bad idea – and completely unnecessary.

Yes, the maximum link metric mechanism is an option as described in section 4 of the draft. But, it has two defects which we also wanted to discuss in ietf 114 meeting. Firstly, it restricts the Flex-Algorithm from using IGP-Cost as its metric-type. Secondly, it does not work with OSPF. For OSPF,the links with maximummetric value(65535) are also included in the SPF calculation,even if not preferred. If there are no other preferred paths,the Flex-Algoritnm links will still affect the result of thenormal SPF calculation. Due to the time constraints,The presentation has been moved to the interim meeting on 2022-09-21. For more detail, please refer to the slides. https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/114/materials/slides-114-lsr-13-exclusive-link-for-flex-algo-00. In view of these two cases, new protocol extension becomes necessary. As for the backward incompatible issues, we think it can be avoided by deployment. For example, the new extension should be deployed in sync with the Flex-Algo feature, so that all the routers in one IGP domain will run the same software version. Looking forward to your reply.

I don’t see any need to define protocol extensions, that are backward incompatible and can cause serious issues in the network in the presence of older implementations.
