The following errata report has been held for document update for RFC7938, "Use of BGP for Routing in Large-Scale Data Centers".
-------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5477 -------------------------------------- Status: Held for Document Update Type: Editorial Reported by: Klemens Schragel <[email protected]> Date Reported: 2018-08-24 Held by: Martin Vigoureux (IESG) Section: 3.2.3 Original Text ------------- The small example of topology in Figure 3 is built from devices with a port count of 4. In this document, one set of directly connected Tier 2 and Tier 3 devices along with their attached servers will be referred to as a "cluster". For example, DEV A, B, C, D, and the servers that connect to DEV A and B, on Figure 3 form a cluster. The concept of a cluster may also be a useful concept as a single deployment or maintenance unit that can be operated on at a different frequency than the entire topology. Corrected Text -------------- The small example of topology in Figure 3 is built from devices with a port count of 4. By introducing an additional Tier the 4-port Tier 1 device has still two unused ports to connect further devices, therefore scaling from a maximum of 8 servers in a 3-stage Clos to a maximum of 16 servers in this 5-stage Clos. In this document, one set of directly connected Tier 2 and Tier 3 devices along with their attached servers will be referred to as a "cluster". For example, DEV A, B, C, D, and the servers that connect to DEV A and B, on Figure 3 form a cluster. The concept of a cluster may also be a useful concept as a single deployment or maintenance unit that can be operated on at a different frequency than the entire topology. Notes ----- Section does not properly describe where the scaling happens, also the depicted topology still connects only 8 servers (the same amount as with a 3-stage Clos). The reader can grasp the scaling only when looking very carefully at the figure. -------------------------------------- RFC7938 (draft-ietf-rtgwg-bgp-routing-large-dc-11) -------------------------------------- Title : Use of BGP for Routing in Large-Scale Data Centers Publication Date : August 2016 Author(s) : P.
