Subject: 答复: RE: Comments on draft-cheng-spring-mpls-path-segment-01


Hi everyone,

I read the discussion in the mail and want to mention some of my own opinions.

1.      The point that Sasha mentioned path segment can not identify the LSP at 
the transit node. it is indeed the case. The path segment mainly solves the 
identity of the tail node. Actuanlly the transit node identity LSP is generally 
applicable to node-by-node performance statistics.

[[Sasha]] My collection of use cases stems from the combination of MPLS-TP with 
SR-MPLS as discussed in draft-hu-spring-sr-tp-use-case. In particular, there 
are requirements in RFC 5654  for the transit node to be aware of pairing 
between the two directions of a bi-directional (both co-routed bi-directional 
and associated bi-directional) if both cross the same transit node (they always 
do that for co-routed bi-directional LSPs).

 There are already some other solutions to address this problem, such as 
draft-ietf-mpls-flow-ident-07, which defines the flow ID  to identify a 
specific object. Flow ID can be used for per LSR, per LSP, per Flow etc. It is 
more general and more flexiable. Path segment can combine with Flow ID to meet 
the needs of different scenarios.

[[Sasha]] Please see above.

2.      Regarding the distribution path segment, I rather agree with Mach's 
opinion that BGP may be a better choice. First, the BGP peer-to-peer model is 
more conform with the path segment application scenario. Actually the path 
segment does not need to be flooded within the IGP domain. In addition, BGP can 
solve the path segment distribution of SR tunnels across IGP domains.

[[Sasha]] I would prefer to differentiate between the mechanisms for 
distribution of Path SIDs and their actual usage. From my POV, ability to 
distribute Path Segment IDs (complete with some relevant information, e.g., 
identification of paired LSP reverse direction LSP) should be defined both for 
IGP and BGP, and it will be up to the user which ones would be actually 
deployed in specific scenarios.


Best regards,
Zhan

Hi Sasha,

Thanks for your prompt response!

Section 2.1.1 discusses some potential directions for Path segment ID 
assignment and distribution, there are several ways that can be used. IGP based 
solution is good for the case where more nodes within the domain needs to learn 
the Path Segment ID. For the use cases as mentioned in Section 3, the nodes 
that need to learn the Path Segment ID are mainly the ingress LSR. For a 
centralized model, the centralized controller may also need to learn the Path 
Segment ID. So, for these use case, a point-2-point model (e.g., BGP) or 
request/reply model (e.g., PCEP) seems more suitable.  How do you think?

Best regards,
Mach
