Hi Rob,

Agree with the case you presented, IMO, we may provide some guidance to 
implementation on the behavior to use when a local-tag is translated to a 
protocol-tag and translation is not possible due to protocol-tag constraint 
(for example “do not copy tag”).

Hi Stephane,

Thanks for the clarification.

The challenge that we might have here is that there are cases where I may want 
to match/set the ‘colour’ as well as an IGP tag. For instance, if I want to 
mark something in the RIB to say that it should be propagated to neighbour sets 
Amber, Blue and Cyan - which each have their own colour value - but these 
values also have an associated IGP tag. Given that we can have both, it seems 
to me that we should prefer to look at something that is like Option B.

IMHO, the intent of the tag we have today [0] is really to be the ‘generic 
colour’ type of tag, since we did not model IGP policies yet I don’t think that 
we examined this issue in too much detail — although Jeff and others have 
pointed it out before, and we marked it as something we did need to look at!

Best,
r.

Sure ...

In the current version of the doc, option A is : single ‘tag’ type which can 
represent a protocol tag (it's only related to IGP tags in the draft)

So I would be in favor of option C :) (slight variation of option A) which is 
really single ‘tag’ type which can represent a protocol tag, or some purely 
local ‘colour’ attribute.

Folks,

There’s some ambiguity in the discussion here, from my perspective:

Option A: single ‘tag’ type which can represent a protocol tag, or some 
‘colour’ attribute.
Option B: multiple ‘tag’ types, a generic ‘colour’ and then per-protocol tags.

Right now, oc-policy uses option A. I can see arguments for either - but 
Stephane I was not clear from your view which of these you prefer - can you 
clarify for me please?

Thanks,
r.
