Agree with Pushpasis.
[Pushpasis] On a router with the kind of high performance CPUs used today, a 
SPF with 1000 node topology, a single SPF runs well under 1ms. How much 
performance overhead are we really adding then?

[Uma]:I think we all know and this and we already took advantage of the modern 
CPUs Pushpasis mentioning and we added  a bunch of additional computations in 
layers till now.

..how many ISIS neighbors do you support on your boxes ? (I hope hundreds ... 
if yes, your box already scale to hundreds of fSPF to compute LFA).

[Uma]: So we do few hundreds of fSPF from each neighbor for base LFA then few 
hundreds for Q space rSPFs and few more hundreds for rSPFs from PQ nodes 
depending on the network/heuristics for each primary SPF right. Did you see 
your 1msec is multiplied few multiple hundred times here.

If really don't care about this additional fSPFs from candidate PQs, why do you 
bother to reduce the same through heuristics proposed?
Did you see your contradiction already?

[SLI] I'm not saying that we don't care about additional fSPFs at all ... we 
clearly said during the WG meeting that running fSPF for each candidate PQ is 
too much computation ... I completely agree on that. But with only few 
additional fSPFs (~10), we are able to provide a pretty good coverage for 
guaranteed NP.


Pushpasis pointed a good point while talking about NSR/GR.

[Uma]: As I said it's good to document this.

[Uma]: Stephane, I think this is the real contradiction you are talking!
GR/NSR is not new to lot of vendors/customers and it's there from long back for 
lot of vendors. If you say deploying the same with one command is complex, 
tuning, simulating rLFA NP configuration as per topology is orders of magnitude 
complex.
Trust me am  just debugging an issue on of the (tier 1)  customer node and 
AFAICT much more simpler things are still not handled well and what we are 
talking here is way far off than the practical reality on the ground.

[SLI] Some bricks of NSR/GR are there from years ... but there are always 
pieces missing depending on the vendor ... (we always need support for all of 
our fancy protocols/features ...)
Doing simulation/tuning in network is not new , and it's part of network 
planning. It's not "complex" (it may ...), I would say it's more expensive in 
time ...
I agree that if we can save some time in this area, it would be better, but 
it's a more an "IP FRR" issue rather than a new issue brought by the node 
protection rLFA proposal (basic LFA requires simulation , MRT also ... ).
I completely agree that we need to keep thing simple in both implementations 
(simple code, so less buggy code) and operations. But here I think, that what 
we are adding there is not too much : maybe it depends of your existing code 
structure, and if yes, we can discuss it offline, in order to better understand 
your constraints.
What would be your proposal to make this more simple ? or do you think we need 
to give up guaranteed NP for rLFA and use SPRING ?


As Pushpasis mentioned, yes, there is no 100% node protection, and there is a 
need of tradeoff as for all IPFRR solutions today ...
[Uma]: I agree.

As I said earlier I support this, but some discussion ought to happen on this 
topic and heuristics as well as the path characteristics mentioned in the draft.

You said above - "a lot of features in service provider lab and Service 
Providers want to keep their core as simple and stable as possible."
I think for this sake at least we  need to simplify solutions where ever 
possible at least. I will share detailed comments later.

[SLI] Completely inline with the approach, but from now, I don't see how to 
simplify it more ... but clearly open to any ideas.


Good luck!
