Xiaohu,
1. draft-psenak-ospf-segment-routing-extensions has already defined the
mapping server functionality - please read the section 4.2 and 6.1
According to the description about mapping servers (see below) which is in -01
version of the use case draft but is removed in -02 version of that draft, it
seems that the mapping server is deemed to advertise the mappings on behalf of
non-SR-capable routers. In contrast, my draft proposes to allow the mapping
server to allocate and advertise mappings on behalf of SR-capable routers.
Those two distinct design goals cause different implications on the
implementation and usage.
that is not true. MS as we support it with existing drafts can be used
to advertise SID/label for SR capable routers.
"The mappings advertised by an SR mapping server result from local
policy information configured by the operator. IF PE3 had been SR
capable, the operator would have configured PE3 with node segment
103. Instead, as PE3 is not SR capable, the operator configures that
policy at the SRMS and it is the latter which advertises the
mapping."---quoted from -01 version of the use case draft.
2. TLVs that you defined in section 3 and 4 are very close to those defined in
draft-psenak-ospf-segment-routing-extensions and have the exact same
functionality as the ones defined in
draft-psenak-ospf-segment-routing-extensions
If I understand your draft correctly, the prefix SID sub-TLV defined in your draft is intended to advertise index, rather than SID or global label. In contrast, the Label Binding
Sub-TLV and SID Binding Sub-TLV defined in my draft are intended to
advertise global labels and SIDs respectively. Besides, the Label
Binding Sub-TLV and SID Binding sub-TLV are just intended for label or
SID distribution without any correlation with the algorithm and MT-ID,
which is different from the prefix SID sub-TLV, IMHO.
you can advertise an absolute value of the label/SID with existing TLVs
- simply advertise the label/sid range starting from 0. MT-ID and
algorithm fields of 0 means default topology and SPT tree, which is what
you want anyway.
3. The only new sub-TLV you defined is Label Request Sub-TLV.
First, given that we already have OSPF SR draft, you should have defined this as
a sub-TLV of the OSPF Extended Prefix TLV that is defined in
draft-psenak-ospf-segment-routing-extensions.
Second, you proposed to use Opaque LSA that is flooded either area or domain
wide as a request mechanism between the router and mapping server. This
means that all routers in an area/domain would have to store and maintain such
'request' LSAs, even though they would never use them locally. I seriously
question if flooding of the LSA is the right mechanism to achieve what you want.
Agree that it may not be attractive in the OSPF case. However, this choice may
be attractive in the IS-IS case since the label/SID request information can be
carried in the IP reachability advertisement. Anyway, as said in the draft, the
advertisement of label/SID request is just one option.
I do not see how ISIS is different - LSP is still flooded with area scope.

Peter

Title: Advertising Global Labels or SIDs Using OSPF

Abstract:
Segment Routing (SR) is a new MPLS paradigm in which each
SR-capable
router is required to advertise global MPLS labels or Segment IDs
(SID) for its attached prefixes by using link-state IGPs, e.g., OSPF.
One major challenge associated with such global MPLS label or SID
advertisement mechanism is how to avoid a given global MPLS label or
SID from being allocated by different routers to different prefixes.
Although such global label or SID allocation collision problem can be
addressed through manual allocation , it is error-prone and
nonautomatic therefore may not be suitable in large-scale SR network
environments. This document proposes an alternative approach for
allocating and advertising global MPLS labels or SIDs via OSPF so as
to eliminate the potential risk of label allocation collision.
Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of
submission until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
