Hi Acee,
it looks to me that the most probable deployment will use 1 tag. Router advertising 100 tags already sounds unreasonable. Defining new LSID to originate LSA with (typically) only 4 bytes of useful information is not optimal. Choice of RI LSA to advertise some small data is reasonable. RI LSA is far from getting too big. If there is a concern of RI LSA overfilling then we can extend range of opaque IDs - but is it really necessary at this point?

I think we are in a circular argument here and I'm not discuss this
independently with each of the authors. Either you have to limit the
number of tags, define a new LSA, or do the work to make RI LSA
multi-instance. All are viable alternatives with differing pros and cons -
including it in the existing RI LSA is not a viable alternative. Remember
to request a session if you plan to present it at IETF 88.
Thanks,

The "Applicability" section of the draft talks about why RI LSA is chosen
as the node-tag TLV carrier instead of TE LSA.

The point I am trying make here is, if the link-color is carried in a TLV,
Node color could also be carried in TLV and we don't need a new LSA for
that.

<Shraddha> Node-tag is a just another property of the node. OSPFv2/v3
have achieved the desired functionality using numerous link/node
properties using TLVs in TE-LSA so I don't see an absolute necessity of
going with a new LSA.

Shraddha - If you think the Router-Information LSA is the same as the TE
LSA you have not read RFC 4970.

and

colors

large

set,

|      that overwhelming the 64K of RI LSPs is not going to happen.
|

oh boy - i wish i could let the non-sense disappear just with good

compliant to the below paragraph.

Actually, I think separate LSAs is a better alternative.




| 3.  Router Information LSA Opaque Usage and Applicability
|
|    The purpose of the Router Information (RI) LSA is to advertise
|    information relating to the aggregate OSPF router.  Normally, this
|    should be confined to TLVs with a single value or very few values.
|    It is not meant to be a generic container to carry any and all
|    information.  The intent is to both limit the size of the RI LSA
to
|    the point where an OSPF router will always be able to contain the
|    TLVs in a single LSA and to keep the task of determining what has
|    changed between LSA instances reasonably simple.  Hence,
discretion
|    and sound engineering judgment will need to be applied when
deciding
|    whether newly proposed TLV(s) in support of a new application are
|    advertised in the RI LSA or warrant the creation of an application
|    specific LSA.
|
|
| Anyway, this hasn't even been presented or accepted as a WG
document.

which is not a reason why we should not discuss how to iron out the
bumpy parts now.

Right.

Thanks,
Acee



thanks !
