Robert – There is another thread which is discussing how to deal with conflict resolutions – I have attached one of the early emails on the subject – please read the rest of that thread and – if you wish – comment on that thread. Please do not introduce conflict resolution into this thread – that isn’t appropriate – the problem is not specific to this discussion.
Thanx. Les From: spring [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Robert Raszuk Sent: Wednesday, August 19, 2015 10:34 AM To: Peter Psenak (ppsenak) Cc: [email protected]; SPRING WG; Pushpasis Sarkar; Eric Rosen Subject: Re: [spring] SRGBs, indexes, and topologies within a domain Hi Peter, And in that case of smart configuration you describe is there any spring document describing how do you deal with advertisements collisions where box A topo X advertised in its smart way identical SID as equally "smart" box B in the same topo X ? It could be as simple as box with lower router_id retries with new SID :) But I do not recall I have seen it. Cheers, R.

In my understanding advertisements are derived from > configurations. right, but you can make your configuration smart and do not require prefix SID to be configured for each topology, while still advertising a unique value for each topology. thanks, Peter _______________________________________________ spring mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/spring
--- Begin Message ---Hi Stefano, Thanks for initiating discussion on this point. 1) I don't feel that this is a IS-IS encoding specific issue, but rather a SPRING consideration, so I'm adding spring. Eventually this seems related to draft-filsfils-spring-segment-routing-ldp-interop <chair hat off> 2) From a service provider standpoint, i.e. from a functional standpoint, I think what we should try to handle this as nicely as possible. Indeed, having conflicting configurations between 2 nodes may happen, and even the most clever implementation may not avoid such configuration mistake. So in such case, dropping traffic for Mapping Server SID seems a significant network wide disruption. 3) As a contributor to spring, from a protocol standpoint, this looks a priori easier than BGP error handling, so we should probably be able to do at least as good. It seems easier since: - the state of the speaker is not relevant as we don't need to send spring traffic or spring signaling to it. - all receivers receive the same information which is syntaxally correct So to have a coherent network state, it would seem sufficient to specify a behavior on the receiving side. 4) Going into more details, and referring to Stéphane analysis: 1) I don't really the issue. From a forwarding standpoint, looks like we can simply program multiple SIDs in the FIB. 2) Seems more complex to me. A priori we need to define a tie-breaker based on received MS entries. We seem to all agree that local only mapping must be disregarded/less preferred. According to you, this is the easy part, so looks good. 3) Is already specified in the ISIS document: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-isis-segment-routing-extensions-04#section-2.4.5 So it looks like the remaining work is to define a tie-breaker.
