Hi, Yingzhen:

 

Thanks for your reminds

I will conform to the guidelines and wish all of the LSR members conform to it 
also

 

Let me point out some response that anger me:

 

“You either didn't read or understand the draft.”   By Acee,  May 1, 2025  
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/lsr/2lYX6OzsVSy6CqeJYdkeunPBwks/
 
I don’t’ want to find or look back to other offensive arguments along the 
discussions.  Let’s look forward to the progress of conflict.
 

 

Best Regards

主题: Re: [Lsr] WG Last Call for draft-ietf-lsr-igp-ureach-prefix-announce 
(4/17/2025 - 5/2/2025)

 

Hi Aijun,

 

Thank you for your continued engagement in the discussion.

 

After reviewing your recent message, we respectfully note that some of the 
language used appears to be inconsistent with the principles outlined in RFC 
7154 ( IETF Guidelines for Conduct), specifically Section 2:

 

"

2. IETF participants have impersonal discussions.

We dispute ideas by using reasoned argument rather than through intimidation or 
personal attack. Try to provide data and facts for your standpoints so the rest 
of the participants who are sitting on the sidelines watching the discussion 
can form an opinion. The discussion is easier when the response to a simple 
question is a polite answer [SQPA].

"

 

In particular, the following statements raise concern:

 

"If you are familiar with the topic, it’s OK. But actually you are not familiar 
with this topic (or you stuck in your attitude/prejudice—this is not the right 
behavior of one WG chair) as the authors and us."

https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/lsr/XlM6TAR7tJQ-4eNf7t4_uJe6PBE/

 

"Knowing the above information can authenticate your declaration."

 https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/lsr/ouaSa6V3d6mIP_b_Stbka1cOgXM/

 

The phrasing may be perceived as personal judgment and could discourage open, 
respectful technical exchange — which is essential to the success of our 
Working Groups.

 

Also repeating the same questions should be avoided: 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2418#section-3.3

 

Please note that repeated disruptive or inappropriate behavior can result in 
the removal of your posting rights for IETF mailing lists.

 

In the interest of maintaining a productive and professional environment, we 
kindly ask that you adhere to the IETF’s conduct guidelines and refrain from 
making personal remarks directed at individuals, including chairs.

 

Thank you for your understanding.

 

Acee, Chris, Yingzhen

Hi, Acee:

 

When I want to discuss with the authors, you can’t wait to stand out, try to 
represent the authors.

 

If you are familiar with the topic, it’s OK. But actually you are not familiar 
with this topic(or you stuck in your attitude/prejudice—-this is not the right 
behavior of one WG chair) as the authors and us. Then please let’s wait the 
authors’ responses.

 

I restate them(considering all your responses until now) here, please read them 
carefully before any response:

 

1) The “U/UP flag” used to indicate the reason of the unreachable prefixes is:

NOT necessarily(LSInfinity is enough, although I don’t recommended it either), 

NOT suitable(IGP shouldn’t flood management purposes information) and 

NOT enough(There are many reasons for the unreachable prefixes).

 

2) The usage of “U/UP flag”  in this document is DIFFERENT from that in 
RFC8706, in which the receiver of such information will do SPF calculations 
based on the related flags. But for “U/UP flag”, they are just trying to give 
the reason of unreachable.

 

3) 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-lsr-igp-ureach-prefix-announce-04#section-5
 is the the COPYCAT from other proposal. If the WGLC document wants to include, 
please state admirations to the original authors. This is the decent IETF 
behavior.

(The original idea was described in Founder Draft[1], ONE YEAR earlier than the 
first version of the WGLC document)

 

4) The partition possibilities in the network is also first discussed at the 
Founder Draft[1], please remove it because the WGLC document solve nothing 
after the “Garrulous” description. Or, just state simply as “out of the scope 
of this document”.

 

There are also other issues on this WGLC document but I must wait first the 
responses from the authors on the above questions.

Speaking as WG Co-Chair:

Aijun, 

You've raised these concerns before and they were responded to. The fact that 
you are more vehement doesn't make them any more compelling. 
Please keep in mind that many of us are busy and don't wish to engage in 
circular arguments. 

Speaking as WG Member:

I'll respond one more time for your inevitable appeals...

Hi, Peter:

 

I must remind you that the following things:

 

1) The newly defined “U/UP flags” MUST be removed, as you declared they are 
trying to “give the reason of unreachable”, which is not suitable for IGP 
protocol, and also not enough to describe various reasons for the 
unreachability.


As I stated previously, there is a precedence with signaling whether or not the 
outage is planned in RFC8706. This may determine the reaction to the 
unreachability by other routers in the domain. It need not be specified since 
this is a generalized mechanism. 




 

2) Remove the “partition” related description. Current contents doesn’t solve 
the problem, no useful information provided to the reader.


This section is useful as it states that the mechanisms do NOT attempt to solve 
the partition problem. 




 

3)  Remove the control knob considerations on the ABR. Because they are first 
provided by other proposal, and current contents covers only part of them.


This needs to be configured as well as the ranges of prefixes subject to 
reachability signaling. 




 

After the above adjustments, there will be nothing needs to be standardized, 
the document should be changed to “Information Track”.


You either didn't read or understand the draft. The abstract alone should make 
it obvious that this isn't an informational specification. 


Acee

Indeed we agreed on the list but I never noticed text being added to address it

we have not added it yet, but we agreed I would. I will do when the next 
version is pushed, but wanted to wait for some more comments to include.

If there are no alternate paths I would rather keep one installed active - for

Thx Peter !

 

It is not "my use case" but ability to trigger UPA for make-before-break which 
I think always is rather a good thing. 

 

Cheers,

Hi Peter, 

If the egress PE is the only BGP NH, then reacting to max-metric or OL-bit set 
would make some BGP destinations unreachable.

 

Well this entirely depends on how one reacts on UPA if UPA is signalling the 
only one left BGP path/NH as down irrespective of the trigger. Does it stop the 
service to the destination or not ... 

 

If there are alternate paths the best path can install new next hop. 

 

If there are no alternate paths I would rather keep one installed active - for 
example to address the case where one ABR can still reach egress PE and the 
other one generated UPA. 

 

So why not trigger UPA in such cases to hint him to switch to alternate next 
hops if available ?

I'm not saying it can not be done. The implementation can chose to advertise 
the UPA for the summary component prefix if the such prefix metric in the 
source area/domain crosses certain value or if the prefix originator is 
overloaded.

But this would make it not compliant with current text in section 4 which was 
the main point of my question. So why not leave the door a bit open for it in 
the spec ?

ok, I'm fine adding some text for your case.

thanks,

Peter
