Subject: Quick review of draft-chen-pce-sr-ingress-protection-00
Hi Authors,
I did a quick review of your I-D, but some key questions came up, it would be
nice if they could be clarified before hand.
(1) It needs to be made clear that why does backup egress needs to know about
the details of the primary SR path at the primary ingress?
Since things are driven by PCE/controller and there is no signalling, the
motivation needs to be different than RFC 8424 for RSVP-TE. IMHO the only
reason for backup ingress to be aware of these details would be to detect the
failure of the primary ingress itself. And the benefit offered by that isn't
clear.
[HC] The information about the primary SR path at the primary ingress is not
needed at the backup ingress. We will remove the text related to this from the
draft.
For the backup ingress to detect the failure of the primary ingress, it should
know the IP address of the primary ingress node.
If the primary SR path carries a service which is identified by a service ID or
label, then this service ID or label should be sent to the backup ingress node.
We will update the draft to clarify these.
(2) Once the motivations are cleared up, then we should explore the use of
existing techniques like PCEP-Flowspec [1] instead of defining new sub-TLVs for
traffic description. I see you have a few new things like virtual network but
not clear how they would be used and why are tightly coupled for this use-case.
[HC] Regarding to using existing Flowspec or new sub-TLVs for traffic
description, it seems that there should have some discussions. The latter seems
more general and powerful.
For virtual network, we will consider it further.
I hope you would focus on these aspects during your presentation.
Discussion on the list would be even better.
[HC] We will focus on these in our presentation accordingly.
Thanks,
Dhruv
