Hi, Joel:

 

What I want to express is that, the nodes will eventually take both network 
information, and computing information that attached to network, together.

The combined optimization calculation will certainly be local matter, but 
should be done via the “the interaction between OSPF-GT instance and the OSPF 
base instance”.  Then, what’s the benefit to transport them via different 
instances?

In our current proposal, the node has no interest/capabilities to parse the 
associated information can just ignore them, there will be no churn on the IGP 
convergences.

 

We should also notices that adding another instance on the IGP nodes, will also 
burden their pressure, and also the complexity of deployment within the 
operator network.

 

 

Best Regards

Aijun, I read the CATS aim rather differently.  The ingress edge device gets 
two sets of information.  One set is the network information from the routing 
protocol.  The other set is the compute capabilities / metrics from the compute 
services.  The charter explicitly says that the process to combine those two 
sets of information is a local matter.  It seems quite a stretch to go from 
their to claiming that if the two sets of information are come from separate 
source, via separate channels, the effort will fail.

Yours,

Joel

Hi, Acee: 

 

If the OSPF-GT instance has no interaction with the OSPF base instance, then 
the CATS’s aim, that the combined optimization of network and compute 
information WILL NOT be achieved.

Hi, Zongpeng: 

 

The concern for OSPF-GT proposal is that there will be complex communication 
mechanism between the OSPF-GT instance and the OSPF base instance.

We have discussed such issues before.

 

 

I guess this shouldn’t surprise me but this is completely wrong. The OSPF-GT 
instance forms separate adjacency and has no interaction with the OSPF 
instance. To assure the information is current, OSPF-GT instances can either 
form a direct remote neighbor adjacency or by assuring the neighbor is 
reachable in the OSPF-GT topology for usage.

Hi, Aijun,

 

        I have checked that in this draft,  
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lsr-ospf-transport-instance/07/> 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lsr-ospf-transport-instance/07/ 





        One of the usecases is that 3.1. MEC Service Discovery

 

         The followings are an incomplete list of the kind of information that

   OSPF-GT can be used to advertise:
      ...
   *  Network resources are limited, such as computing power, storage.
      The availability of such resources is dynamic, and OSPF-GT can be
      used to populate such information, so applications can pick the
      right location of such resources, hence improve user experience
      and resource utilization.
 
        Perhaps we can use the OSPF-GT as the way to prograte the computing 
information ?
        However, it is stated as a way only for non-routing information.   
 

Best Regards

Zongpeng Du

Hi, Acee and Adrian:

 

I noticed the CATS WG began just the use cases and architecture document and 
will follow the progress of works in CATS WG to update the proposed draft.

 

And I want to empathize also that current IGP based proposal will not “ 
compromise convergence for the "Normal business" of the IGP ”, only the nodes 
that updated, or the nodes want to utilize such information will calculate the 
optimal path based on the network and compute information.

There will be also no LOOP in the forwarding plane, because the traffic will be 
tunneled to the optimal destination edge node.
