Aijun,

WG adoption should be done based on the draft content, the quality of the solution it describes and not based on the draft age or order.

Multiple people have pointed out over the years that the solution that you propose in your draft - e.g. using router-id of 0 to indicate the unreachability is broken and lacks the backward compatibility aspect. Your original draft did NOT include the unreachable metric and even though you added it later (way after it was proposed in the other draft), your draft still uses the original router-id 0 idea. The fact that you need the PUAM Capabilities Announcement in your draft speaks for itself.

Though you may have been the first one to try to solve the problem in the IETF draft, your solution is still incorrect. As a result of your inability to listen to the comments an alternative draft was written that is technically superior, backward compatible, has wide support from vendors as well as operators, including ones that were originally co-authors on your draft and decided to join the alternate draft based on its technical advantages, has been implemented and deployed in the field.

As a matter of fact, I have invited you to join our draft several times, but you refused. You insisted on pushing your draft.

my 2c,
Peter

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/ <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 <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.

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/ <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

        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,
