Subject: Re: Routing in DC RTGWG interim - updated


Great question!!! I want to assure the WG that Robert and I have had no prior 
collusion and he asked this independently…

​LOL .. Like the RTGWG would not know alreasy that I do not play such setup 
games ???​ ;-) Come on AC !

All in fun… ;^)



We have thought about that. The beauty of BGP SPF is that you can use it solely 
for the underlay and maintain the services (e.g., RFC 4364) in the overlay.

Additionally, it is very easy to migrate only a portion of your data center to 
BGP SPF. Routers operating in both domains (BGP SPF and RFC 7938) can perform 
the interworking by advertising AF IPv4 unicast routes into the BGP-SPF domain 
as BGP-LS Prefix NLRI and reachable BGP-SPF prefixes into the normal BGP IPv4 
or IPv6 unicast domain as reachable NLRI.


​That's not what I am talking about ... I am talking of running both in 
parallel not interworking at the boundary. Think outside of the box pls.

Just to translate to your world is like running ISIS and OSPF together if for 
nothing else then for routing with OSPF and using ISIS only to compute your 
LFAs (if really needed and OSPF does not support it yet on your boxes) :) ​.

Yes – the could be done and the next-hops could be resolved recursively 
anywhere in the BGP-SPF domain. However, what advantage would this bring over 
advertising attached prefixes as BGP-LS Prefix NLRI?

Thanks,
Acee



Best,
R.
