Hi, Ron:

 

Since the TEAS WG has yet start the adoption call of
draft-many-teas-power-group.(They are preparing for it now/IPR call), I
would still suggest that we wait the conclusion of adoption call of the base
document.

And I think you have noticed, there is argument for the necessary of the
distributed solution, given it can’t finish the overall power save aim
itself(need information or control capabilities from the management plane),
and overlap with the capabilities of management plane.

 

Until now, I don’t see the promise of the distributed solution, only the
confusion of these newly introduced capricious TLVs and their usages. 

Or, would you like to introduce the necessary, indispensable or even the
benefits of the distributed solution?

 

Some detail replies inline below.

 

 

Best Regards

【Correct one typo: 】

I do not support its adoption.

Hi, All:

I do not support is adoption.

The reason are the followings:
1) The base document,  <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/datatracker.ietf.
org/doc/draft-many-teas-power-steering/__;!!NpxR!iPWTa_HdgTs4cfKq-wRonK1P2gT
SQHdnS6G14eA4oW_y_OIb6VUvnFZwy4DJlK0_xuExEoZ2KnHSBwyHIjSsao3c$>
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-many-teas
-power-steering/__;!!NpxR!iPWTa_HdgTs4cfKq-wRonK1P2gTSQHdnS6G14eA4oW_y_OIb6V
UvnFZwy4DJlK0_xuExEoZ2KnHSBwyHIjSsao3c$ , has not been adopted as the TEAS
WG document, it is too early to determine whether the IGP protocol extension
is necessary or not.

 

[rb] I think that Gunther addressed this issue. In any event, the TEAS WG is
currently having a call for adoption on draft-many-teas-power-group.

[WAJ] Let’s wait the conclusion of the adoption call of the base document,
then the necessary of this distributed solution.

2) There is no any description, or argument to describe the reason that
accomplish the power saving via the distributed IGP protocol and the
challenge for the network operation etc. when comparing with the solution
solely via the management plane(NETCONT/YANG etc.)

 

[rb] The current drafts describe a distributed Power Conserving Path
Placement Solution. They do not preclude a centralized solution. Because we
do not preclude a centralized solution, we don't feel the need to argue
against one.

[WAJ] I don’t see the benefits, or the indispensable necessary of such
distributed solution.  

 

3) Considering the mentioned interfaces can only be switched on/off via the
management, I am wondering why bother IGP to accomplish the path calculation
work then?

 

[rb] Are you sure that interfaces can only be switched on/off via a network
management interface? Is it possible that the platform might offer an API
through which an interface can be switched on/off? Might that API be made
available to multiple network management applications (e.g., CLI, NETCONF)?
Might that API also be made available to a local application that monitors
interface utilization and powers interface on/off as needed?

[WAJ] These are all possible, but currently there are no on/off signal
communicated via the IGP protocol, then it must depend on other ways to
accomplish the power save aim.  Or, will you add some mechanism in your
proposal later?

 

Are you sure that the IGP does the path calculation work? According to
draft-many-teas-power-steering, CSPF does the path calculation work. It uses
the PCPPS metric to do so. It uses the TLVs described in
draft-many-lsr-power-group to calculate the PCPPS metric.

[WAJ] If the flooding of these TLVs is not let IGP does the path calculation
work, then the necessary of such flooding became more unnecessary:

The PCE know the services requirements, the PCE can collect the network
conditions, the PCE can calculate the necessary
topology/bandwidth/interfaces on/off, then why let the IGP do extraordinary
work?

4) Given the discussions for the encoding of proposed TLVs, and the authors'
responses for the updating them later, which are all non-trivial
modifications, it's better to postpone to its adoption.

 

[rb] This is a procedural issue, to be addressed by the chairs. Typically,
at the end of a call for adoption, authors are given a chance to produce a
new version of the draft that addresses issues raided during the call for
adoption.

[WAJ] The core contents of this LSR draft are the definition of these TLVs,
If they have not been solid, what’s the value, and legitimacy of the
adoption call?

5) The document defines only some TLVs and there is no any procedures to
describe how to utilize them, how to coordinate with other existing
TLVs/sub-TLVs/Flooding mechanism etc., it will be difficult for other
vendors to implement and will influence future interoperability.

 

[rb] Which TLVs are missing? As per draft-many-teas-power-steering, these
TLVs are used as inputs to the PCPPS metric calculation. Which interactions
are missing? Should the addition of any TLV or sub-TLV change the flooding
mechanism?

[WAJ] In the base document, it mentioned there may be centralized, or
distributed.  

If PCPPS is centralized, as I mentioned above, there is no necessary for the
IGP to participate in

If PCPPS is distributed, the procedure for consuming such newly defined TLVs
should be described.
