draft-rigatoni-lsr-isis-fragment-timestamping currently states:

The awareness of delays in the distribution of information can be incorporated 
further into algorithms and network tooling to improve the responsiveness and 
quality of decisions taken.


There was a request at the mike (Ketan) in today’s LSR session to elaborate how 
the awareness of distribution delays can be used in TE applications.


I can give a simple distributed TE application example (there are several, but 
this should give a general idea how this information can be leveraged). In 
RSVP-TE networks, a TE path computed using a specific snapshot of TED can get 
rejected during signaling by a transit node because of bandwidth unavailability 
on a specific link (link bandwidth information in the snapshot of TED used 
during computation cannot always be “current”). When ingress gets notified of 
this “error” via RSVP signaling, the link in question is avoided in the 
subsequent path computation and an alternate path is sought. Most 
implementations tend to use a configurable “hold time” to determine how long 
this link needs to be avoided. The awareness of the distribution delay 
statistics can potentially be used by implementations to dynamically determine 
an appropriate “hold time” for a given TE link (instead of using a blanket 
topology-wide configuration).



By « delay » do you mean the IS-IS flooding time across the flooding domain or 
do you mean something else?

If this is the flooding time, what distribution delay statistics do you have in 
mind? In current deployment and as a goal in order to neglect this flooding 
time?

e.g., if flooding time could be reduced to 50 ms would you still need this 
timestamp?



Thanks,
