Hi, Acee:

 

AGAIN, before making some assertions, please check the following fact:

Have you noticed the 00 version of 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ppsenak-lsr-igp-event-notification/ was 
submitted on July 5, 2021?

But the description about the short lived notification in 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-wang-lsr-prefix-unreachable-annoucement-06#section-7
 was on March 26, 2021.

Then, which draft was the first?

 

For the adoption call or merge efforts, I think the WG should consider the 
following facts:

1)     Which draft is the first to provide the use cases? 

2)     Which draft is the first to propose explicit signaling for unreachable 
information?

3)     Which draft is the first to propose short lived notification?

4)     Which explicit signaling mechanism is simpler?

5)     Which draft provides more mechanisms to cover more scenarios?

 

The base document should be selected based on the answers of the above 
questions. 

Select the base document doesn’t mean that it can’t be changed before the 
adoption(I haven’t said “Without Change” is the merge condition). 

Actually, we welcome more authors to join us to finalize the document and 
solution.

 

As one of the most important WG within IETF, I think LSR WG should respect the 
original contributions to the WG.

It is too hurry to consider or adopt only the draft that you prefer, especially 
the follower draft.

 

Best Regards

draft-ppsenak-lsr-igp-ureach-prefix-announce-04

 

 

Hi Aijun, 

 

When the WG discussion first indicated that this was a use case that needed to 
be addressed, I don’t dispute that you immediately added it to your draft. 

I have no doubt you would have purported support of any use case under 
discussion. 

 

However, the first draft to address this use case with a short-lived 
notification was  
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ppsenak-lsr-igp-event-notification/

Based on WG feedback and collaboration of multiple vendors, this draft evolved 
to draft-ppsenak-lsr-igp-ureach-prefix-announce. 

 

While you’ve incorporated elements of the draft under discussion, your draft 
still includes pieces (sometimes conflicting) from previous use cases.

 

There was an effort to merge the drafts but you declined unless your draft was 
used (without change) as the base. I’m not sure your motivation. 

 

Thanks,

Acee

Hi, Acee:

 

Act as LSR chair, I think you should be more responsible to make any unfounded 
assertions:

 

We have described the previous statements in

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-wang-lsr-prefix-unreachable-annoucement-06#section-7,
 March 26, 2021, one year before the 00 version of draft-ppsenak(March 25,2022)

 

Then, which draft copy or incorporate which draft?

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-wang-lsr-prefix-unreachable-annoucement-12#section-7
 before making misguide assertions:

 

“The advertisement of PUAM message should only last one configurable period to 
allow the services that run on the failure prefixes are switchovered.”

 

 

I guess I haven’t kept up with all the elements of the draft under adoption 
that you continue to incorporate into your draft. This has been a continuing 
theme since initial discussed of the application signaling use case. While I 
have no interest in improving your draft, making the LSP/LSA short-lived 
conflicts with the other scenarios your draft purports to address.

Hi Acee,

 

In any case, one will need to update the signaling routers and the routers 
acting on the signal. 

 

I guess this is clear to all. 

 

Additionally, your request for the adoption was that the draft have a stronger 
statement about the mechanism being used for solely for signaling for 
applications (e.g., BGP PIC).

 

As to the applicability my comment was that either draft should state in strong 
normative language that this is applicable only to applications which data 
plane uses encapsulation to the next hop. 

 

Said this draft-wang introduces the additional signalling, sort of trying to 
assure that all nodes in an area understand the new messages - but I am not 
sure if even advertising PUAM capability means that it will be actually used 
for all destinations ? 

 

No - but while the draft under adoption (ppsenak-lsr…) is for an ephemeral 
signal which the WG agreed was a valid use case, in the other draft, the LSAs 
are long-lived and are also may be used for other purposed than signaling 
(e.g., reread both sections 4 and 6 of draft-wang-lsr…). This draft starting 
with a whole different use case but selectively added mechanisms from 
ppsenak-lsr… 

 

I seem to recall you were a strong proponent of limiting the scope. 

 






 

By responding to this Email inline, some may believe you support the assertion 
that we should start the adoption of both drafts. Please be clarify this.

 

Well the way I see this is that adoption call is a bit more formal opportunity 
for WG members to express their opinion on any document. But maybe LSR (for 
good reasons) have different internal rules to decide which document should be 
subject to WG adoption and does sort of pre-filtering. 

 

If adoption call proves document has negative comments or lacks cross vendor 
support it simply does not get adopted. 

 

Maybe I am just spoiled looking at how IDR WG process works :-) 

 

You replied to an Email inline suggesting adoption of both drafts. That is what 
I think could have been misconstrued - especially by those who didn’t follow 
the discussion until now who think you are agreeing with this recommendation.  

 






 

As for your other comment that this could be accomplished with BGP or an 
out-of-bound mechanism, that is true but that could be true of many problem. 
However, the solution under adoption has running code and wide vendor support.

 

 Right ... As I wrote to Peter - perhaps this is just a pragmatic approach and 
flooding is what link state uses so be it. 

 

As you know I did try in the past to propose BGP Aggregate withdraw but then 
feedback of the community was that PEs do not go down that often to justify the 
extension. 

 

Hmm… We seem to have broad support for the LSR application signaling use case. 

 

Thanks,

Acee

 






 

Best,

Robert
