Ok - I guess you can add a registry now if you want.

I would, it's a clear reference of all rules we have defined at any point in time.


We don’t have any WG drafts adding flex-algo rules but we have draft-gong-lsr-flex-algo-exclude-node as an individual draft. I seem to recall discussion as to whether this draft is necessary since a node could be excluded by not participating in the flex-algo.

that draft is not needed.

thanks,
Peter



Thanks,
Acee

Hi Acee,

we require strict ordering - it may not be necessary now, but in the future we may introduce something that will need it, so we started to enforce it from day 1.

thanks,
Peter

Hi Les, Peter, Shraddha,

I have reviewed the draft and support moving ahead with publishing this as an RFC.

The primary use case is well described in Section 3 of the draft. Note this is NOT, as some folks have mistakenly inferred from the draft title,  aimed at multicast RPF use cases.

As regards the evolving set of rules for flex-algo calculations, I think the current model of adding an appendix with the full list of updated rules is problematic.
We now have three documents which define rules:

RFC 9350
draft-ietf-lsr-flex-algo-bw-con
draft-ietf-lsr-igp-flex-algo-reverse-affinity

Each document is accurate based on the rules defined at the time of publication. But as each document is published - with potentially more on the way - it becomes difficult to know which is the "latest".
Readers of one document might not be aware of the other documents.

Perhaps the authors of the two drafts above could consider introducing an IANA Registry which has the ordered list of rules (and appropriate references for each) so that there is one source of truth. Each document would then simply specify the updates to the IANA registry.
I don't think we need this, since all the interface constraints need to be satisfied for an interface to used in a given flex algorithm, I don't see that the ordering of the rules is important.

Maybe the text in the two flex-algo drafts which are going to progress and be published shouldn't imply strict ordering.

Thanks,
Acee
