Re: [Lsr] Signalling ERLD (ISIS, OSPF and BGP-LS)

2018-06-13 Thread stephane.litkowski
Hi,

As defined in draft-ietf-mpls-spring-entropy-label, advertising an ERLD means 
that the node is defacto ELC (so advertising ELC separately is not necessary):

" The Entropy Readable Label Depth (ERLD) is defined as the number of
   labels a router can both:

   a.  Read in an MPLS packet received on its incoming interface(s)
   (starting from the top of the stack).

   b.  Use in its load-balancing function.

   The ERLD means that the router will perform load-balancing using the
   EL label if the EL is placed within the ERLD first labels.
"

"
To advertise an ERLD value, a SPRING router:

   o  MUST be entropy label capable and, as a consequence, MUST apply
  the dataplane procedures defined in [RFC6790].

   o  MUST be able to read an ELI/EL which is located within its ERLD
  value.

   o  MUST take into account this EL in its load-balancing function.
"


Brgds,

If the WG's can manage to agree upon a decision (option1/2/3 or 4), then next, 
have a look into how to encode the TLV so that we have a clean technological

Hi Gunter,

In that case, I concur with you that option (2) is better than the others. My 
only difference in opinion is that ERLD not have its own separate TLV but 
instead get advertised as a new MSD sub-type - it is just a different encoding.

Indeed, the debate that made BGP-LS to go down the ERLD path is of pragmatic 
motivation.

The major Readable Label Depth use-case is entropy. Hence, if the ERLD TLV is 
available, then ELC can be implicitly assumed. No pragmatic reason to signal 
separately, as it just make things more complex then should be.

The ways to address this in IGP and BGP-LS going forward:
1) do nothing and leave all as it is (it has potential to create massive 
confusion)
2) only signal ERLD TLV in IGP and BGP
3) signal ELC TLV and RLD TLV (unclear pragmatic value of explicit signaling of 
ELC TLV compared to option (2))
4) signal ELC TLV, RLD TLV and ERLD TLV (it has all, but is much much more 
complex as option (2))

I believe that option (2) is the best option:
* it bring the needed readable label depth value to operators
* most simple solution for implementers (routers and controller)
* easy to understand with no confusion
* is compliant with draft-ietf-mpls-spring-entropy-label-10

Hi Gunter,

The difference in IGP signalling seems to be because the ELC is a capability 
which is advertised differently than ERLD which is a limit. Are you saying that 
ELC does not have value by itself without the ERLD?

IMHO it makes sense to retain ELC as capability of the router (as specified in 
the IGP specs) and position ERLD as a MSD sub-type for indicating the limit. 
This way we have the flexibility of signalling ERLD both per node and per 
ingress link/LC level.

motivation.

The major Readable Label Depth use-case is entropy. Hence, if the ERLD TLV is 
available, then ELC can be implicitly assumed. No pragmatic reason to signal

implementers and network operators). 

The ways to address this in IGP and BGP-LS going forward:
1) do nothing and leave all as it is (it has potential to create massive 
confusion) 
2) only signal ERLD TLV in IGP and BGP
3) signal ELC TLV and RLD TLV (unclear pragmatic value of explicit signaling of 
ELC TLV compared to option (2)) 
4) signal ELC TLV, RLD TLV and ERLD TLV (it has all, but is much much more 
complex as option (2))

I believe that option (2) is the best option:
* it bring the needed readable label depth value to operators 
* most simple solution for implementers (routers and controller)  
* easy to understand with no confusion
* is compliant with draft-ietf-mpls-spring-entropy-label-10

Hi Gunter,

The difference in IGP signalling seems to be because the ELC is a capability 
which is advertised differently than ERLD which is a limit. Are you saying that 
ELC does not have value by itself without the ERLD?

IMHO it makes sense to retain ELC as capability of the router (as specified in 
the IGP specs) and position ERLD as a MSD sub-type for indicating the limit. 
This way we have the flexibility of signalling ERLD both per node and per 
ingress link/LC level.

Thanks,
Ketan

Subject: [Idr] Signalling ERLD (ISIS, OSPF and BGP-LS)

In LSR WG the following drafts document the signaling of ELC and RLD:
* draft-ietf-ospf-mpls-elc
* draft-ietf-isis-mpls-elc

When exporting this information using BGP-LS encoding to a controller, there is 
need for BGP-LS extension by means of new TLVs.

BGP-LS is signaling ERLD (entropy capable readable label depth) ISIS/OSPF is 
signaling individually ELC and RLD

I was working upon the IANA section, and discovered some inconsistency that 
should be addressed:
* Why is IGP signaling individual ELC and RLD? ERLD is what was decided upon 
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-mpls-spring-entropy-label-10)
* What are the plans to request IANA code points for these drafts?
* (E)RLD seems to have meaning only from NODE perspective, (I assume that LINK 
ERLD is not of any value at all, is that a correct assumption?)

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Inter-Domain Routing WG of the IETF.

Title   : Signalling ERLD using BGP-LS
Authors : Gunter Van de Velde

Abstract:
   This document defines the attribute encoding to use for BGP-LS to
   expose ERLD "Entropy capable Readable Label Depth" from a node to a
   centralised controller (PCE/SDN).
