Hi Linda,
the version 24 includes the new section about the number of flex-algos
as you requested.
thanks,
Peter

Peter,
Thank you! I've studied this draft in LSR WG multiple times. I had a difficult
time thinking how a router computing the paths when receiving 100+ topologies
for one IGP domain, until being told most deployments only having handful of
topologies.

I have reviewed this document as part of the Ops area directorate's
ongoing effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the
IESG. These comments were written primarily for the benefit of the Ops area
directors.
Document editors and WG chairs should treat these comments just like
any other last call comments.
This document specifies a set of extensions to IGP to enable multiple
topologies within one IGP domain, and each topology has its unique
constraint-based path computation metric.
It would be very helpful if Section 15 (Operational Consideration)
included some considerations on the number of topologies to be created
for exemplary deployments. Even though theoretically,
hundreds/thousands of topologies can be supported by the mechanisms
described in the draft, in practice, probably only a handful of (or
even fewer) Flex-Algorithms are needed per IGP domain. It would be so
much easier to follow the document if knowing only two or three Flex-Algorithm
are needed.
the maximum number of flex-algos is determined by the algorithm range that is
(128-255), as specified in section 4 of the draft:

I can add a sentence in the draft saying that the expected deployment is to use
only a subset of those.
thanks,
Peter
Thank you
