Further, if flex-algo is already in use, do you also need per
flex-algo OFA topologies so as to maintain the optimization
objective for the flex-algo topology you’re off-loading from?
##PP
depends, you can share the same OFA for multiple FAs, or you can have
unique OFA for each of them.
It is not always required to offload the traffic for all algos - e.g.
offloading the best effort traffic only may be sufficient in many cases.
I am not sure I read this properly. It looks like you are saying that
you only need as many OFP flex-algos as the number of flex-algos needed
to relieve the congestion. During congestion remediation, that seems to
be the case. But I think the flex-algos need to be defined at
configuration time and consume router resources at all times, not just
when you decide to remediate congestion. So the fact that a given event
may only need 1 extra does not remediate the need for N+1 extra when
vvbest effort plus n flex-algos are already in use. Have I read this
properly?
Yours,
