Thank you for your excellent review of the document.  This is an inconsistency, and the authors must address it before we proceed.

 

As you mention:

-----------------------------

  - One or both of IPv4 and IPv6 Router-ID of the ASBR using TLV 1028

   and/or 1029 [RFC9552], depending on whether the ASBR is configured

   with one or both of the IPv4 and IPv6 TE Router-IDs.  (Note: while

   [RFC9552] introduced these TLVs for use in the BGP-LS attribute, this

   document also leverages the same TLVs for use in the NLRI.)

 

The authors should take this offline and resolve this with me.  I will come back with an answer to LSR.  This draft will be held up while this point is resolved.

 

Sue

Sue –

 

Section 5 mandates that TLVs 1028/1029 be present.

Section 8 says in the case of BGP/Static everything is as defined in Section 5 except for the protocol ID.

 

I am just trying to resolve the two.

Les:

 

#1 section 5 – the BGP-LS speaker is a BGP peer of the Controller.  The BGP-LS speaker has either a directly connected interface with Inter-AS link or a static route (via a local interface) to the remote AS peer.   Section 8 was written to clarify that this BGP peer (e.g. SB2)  is source for the information.

#2 – good catch.   The inter-AS link is SB1-TB2.  (I missed that one!)

I wholeheartedly agree with Acee's points.

 

It isn’t completely clear to me why the new Section 8 was written - as opposed to updating the existing Section 5. But if the authors/WG are OK with this presentation I won’t object - but two review points:

 

1)Section 5 states:

 

"The following Sub-TLVs MUST be included as the Local Node Descriptors:

 

...

- One or both of IPv4 and IPv6 Router-ID of the ASBR using TLV 1028 and/or 1029 [RFC9552], depending on whether the ASBR is configured with one or both of the IPv4 and IPv6 TE Router-IDs. (Note: while [RFC9552] introduced these TLVs for use in the BGP-LS attribute, this document also leverages the same TLVs for use in the NLRI.)”

 

 

It isn't clear to me from looking at RFC 9086 where this information comes from in the case of “direct/static” as RFC 9086 specifies only TLV 516 for BGP Router  ID.

 

2)Section 8 states:

 

“Alignment between the two sides of the Inter-AS link (e.g. SB1 – TB1) …”

 

I assume “TB1” is meant to be “TB2” as there is no node “TB1” in the diagram.
