I respect that individuals may have different opinions - but it is important to 
distinguish what is factual from what is not.

Opinions based upon false information are clearly compromised.



Please do heed Chris's (as WG chair) admonition to review the first WG adoption 
thread. That will reveal to you what the substantive objections were.

https://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=lsr%40ietf.org&q=stub+link&x=0&y=0





Please also do examine the delta between the previous version which was put up 
for WG adoption (V3) and the current version (V8) so you can see what has 
changed.

https://author-tools.ietf.org/iddiff?url1=draft-wang-lsr-stub-link-attributes-03&url2=draft-wang-lsr-stub-link-attributes-08&difftype=--html



Some facts:



The substantive objections raised during the first adoption call had nothing to 
do with use cases - they had to do with:



a)The use of a prefix to identify a link between two nodes is a flawed concept. 
It is not robust enough to be used in cases of unnumbered or Pt-2-MP.

[WAJ] Current encoding has covered the unnumbered scenario. For Pt-2-MP 
scenario, they share also the same subnet, please see our previous discussion 
at https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/lsr/molRRoWXOBhaHFc5GPAPmvVISDs/



[LES:] I have no idea why you think the email you point to resolved the issue. 
It was an early email in a very long thread, the lack of support for unnumbered 
etc. continued to be discussed in subsequent emails by multiple participants 
and has been raised again by multiple participants in this second adoption call 
thread.

The minor changes you made to the encoding of Stub Link advertisement does 
nothing to resolve the issue.

The fundamental issue is that the same prefix can be associated with multiple 
links, so what you have defined is ambiguous in some cases.

Either you don’t understand this or don’t think this is important – I am not 
sure which – but many of us do believe this is important.



b)Existing mechanisms (RFC 9346/was RFC 5316 and RFC 5392) fully cover the 
potential use cases and do so more robustly than the Stub-link proposal.

[WAJ] If you make such claims, then please give the encoding example for A.1 
Figures 2(LAN scenario). How to configure/encode the several neighbors that 
located in different AS in one inter-AS reachability TLV?



[LES:] RFC 9346/RFC 5362 provide a robust way to uniquely identify inter-AS 
links, verify two-way connectivity, and optionally advertise additional link 
attributes if desired. (Apply this portion of the response to your other 
comments below.)

You apparently think this is too onerous and you propose a different mechanism 
that isn’t robust, does not allow two-way connectivity verification, and 
doesn’t support link attribute advertisement.

But because you see it as “simpler” you think you have sufficient justification 
to overlook its flaws.

I don’t agree.



The long-lived success of the IGPs has happened because we have worked 
diligently to provide robust solutions – not settle for solutions that only 
work some of the time.



   Les



The latest version of the draft makes no substantive changes to the stub link 
concept or its advertisement.

The only substantive change in the latest version is a reorganization of the 
presentation of use cases.

But lack of clarity in the use cases was not the basis on which first WG 
adoption call was rejected.



In this thread (the second WG adoption call),  the authors have asserted that 
they have addressed the concerns raised in the previous adoption call.

They have not. The concept and mechanism to identify a stub link has not 
changed.



In this thread the authors continue to assert that RFC 9346/RFC 5392 cannot 
address the use cases.

This is FALSE.

As has been pointed out repeatedly, the existing mechanisms provide a robust 
means to uniquely identify inter-AS links using endpoint identifiers - be they 
IPv4/IPv6 addresses or Link IDs.

[WAJ] And, please give the solution for the non inter-AS scenario(A.2). Please 
do not mention the bogus AS again



This addresses all cases - numbered and unnumbered.

There is therefore no need for a new mechanism.

[WAJ] Repeat again. The requirements of inter-AS TE solution are different from 
the requirements of inter-AS topology recovery. We should find more efficient 
solution to solve the latter scenario.

The inefficiency of existing solutions for inter-AS topology recovery lies in 
that it requires the operators to get the other end information for every 
inter-as links manually, this is very challenge and error-prone, as that also 
indicated in RFC9346 and RFC5392 themselves.



No fact-based argument has been made to justify reconsideration of WG adoption.



I hope when people post their opinions, that they consider the facts.



  Les
