Martin,

Thanks. I’d be glad if the discussion returns to charter contents and usual WG 
cooperation.

Work of TEAS should progress independently from Spring. My take of the TEAS WG 
is, that Traffic Engineering linked to RSVP TE is covered there. Spring policy 
routing isn’t linked to RSVP-TE signaling and I’m not aware of any requirement 
to add RSVP-TE signaling to Spring policy routing. To me, the following would 
make sense:


  *   All aspects of Spring policy routing which are not linked to RSVP-TE 
signaling are pursued by an appropriately re-chartered Spring WG.
  *   If terminology is an issue, SR “Traffic Engineering” to me can be 
replaced by “SR Policy Routing” or another suitable term. I’m interested in 
fast progress of the SR policy routing within Spring WG and I don’t want this 
progress to be blocked by words.
  *   There’s a draft listed by Spring, but not by TEAS: 
https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-teas-sr-rsvp-coexistence-rec-02.txt . I 
think it describes how both approaches can coexist.
  *   If there’s interest by the TEAS WG to work on solutions combining Spring 
and RSVP-TE signaling, then the TEAS Charter needs to be adapted. Spring or 
Segment Routing are not mentioned by it.

I hope that Spring WG succeeds in re-chartering to cover all aspects of SR 
policy routing (excluding RSVP-TE signaling) and related OAM and TEAS can make 
progress on their chartered work items. I’d appreciate the usual IETF style 
cooperation of both WGs, if there’s an overlap on contents.

Regards,

Ruediger

Having been told that my sentence about the TEAS charter was perceived as 
agressive I want to apologize for my exaggeration.

That sentence should have better been something like:
Reading the TEAS charter I felt personally insulted as it generally defines the 
term "traffic engineering", but in a way that doesn't allow for any other 
methodology but using RSVP.

Apparently that feeling of insult made me choose aggressive words, which I 
shouldn't have used. It was not my intention to hurt anyone in return.

Best regards, Martin

Or, to be more explicit, mentioning TEAS is - in my eyes - a major reason to 
insist in keeping the SPRING wg for a while, and for
having the SRE-TE discussions here and not there!!!

While it's always good to learn from each other, I strongly believe that moving 
any SR-TE discussion to TEAS would do nobody any good. As Dan pointed out, TEAS 
is about RSVP-TE. And it has a completely different way of approaching TE than 
what we want to do with SR. I really believe it's better to keep the different 
approaches to TE separate, rather than to coerce opposite minds to do their 
work in a joint forum, which most likely just leads to religious wars rather 
than anything productive.

From my point of view, the TEAS charter even defines "traffic engineering" in a 
way which is completely ignorant and insulting. I don't feel like interfering 
with that, as long as everyone can still get their job done. But this tolerance 
wouldn't work any more if the SR-TE discussions would have to move there.

Best regards, Martin

P.S.: It's not like I was blindly ignorant towards RSVP-TE. In more than 15 
years of experience with traffic engineering, I have used and accounted for 
RSVP more than once, in more than one or two independet IP/MPLS networks. Just 
recently I did recommend to use RSVP for specific use cases in a specific 
network. But I have the strong opinion that it's not the only solution for 
traffic engineering problems, and depending on the exact frame conditions it 
might not at all be the best overall solution.

Agree with Jeff, without harping on all the good reasons already stated for 
SPRING WG charter extensions,
I would think that it would be beneficial to leverage TE expertise from TEAS WG 
to
progress SR-TE there for a cohesive, uniform solution for all tunneling schemes.

[DV] 1- SRTE is NOT a tunnel. Labels are signals straight in the IGP, as known. 
This is why the word “policy” was introduce with SRTE – “SRTE Policy”.
[DV] 2- According to TEAS WG charter - 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/teas/about/:
1. Definition of additional abstract service, link, and path
properties such as jitter, delay, and diversity. Extensions
to IGPs to advertise these properties, and extensions to
RSVP-TE to request and to accumulate these properties.

[DV] 3- also notice in the SPRING Charter - 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/spring/about/:
o Some types of network virtualization, including multi-
topology networks and the partitioning of network
resources for VPNs
o Network path and node protection such as fast re-route
o Network programmability
o New OAM techniques
o Simplification and reduction of network signalling
components
o Load balancing and traffic engineering
[DV] Hence I believe “SRTE policy” is a key component of the SR Architecture 
and should pursued as part as the Architecture definition milestone of the 
SPRING WG.

Dan

IMHO..

Himanshu

Hi,

I'm not going to repeat all the valid reasons to continue mentioned beforehand.
There's definitely work to be done in architecture and O&M areas as well as 
co-ordination of various activities across IETF.

Cheers,
Jeff

    Hi,

    I echo the need to continue the SPRING work on service-chaining. There is a 
growing interest to have a mechanism that operates at the forwarding plane 
level using source routing as an alternative to a dedicated service overlay. 
This will surely generate other related work such as automated service 
discovery, inter-domain chaining policies, parallelism versus sequential 
chaining, various control-plane implementations, etc.

    Secondly, since there is a tight relation to SR chaining and TE policies, I 
believe there will is a lot of opportunities related to Path Awareness which is 
currently running in IRTF. Opportunities like, intent translation to SR 
policies, Policy requests or announcements between domains and host (probably 
app) level TE policy requests (e.g. how can an app receive a proper policy 
based on its requirements) ?

    My humble operator 0.02 cents.

    Subject: [spring] SPRING - rechartering discussion

    Hello WG,

    now that nearly all the core documents are in the hands of IESG or beyond, 
we think it is time to (re)discuss rechartering.
    We brought up that question few meetings ago and the feedback, at that  
time, was that the WG at least needs to be maintained to discuss the extensions 
following deployment feedback.

    But we need also identify technical directions.

    In order to initiate the discussion we are proposing some high level items 
but we'd like to make clear a few points before:
     * these are only proposals; what might end-up as the next steps for SPRING 
will be what the WG is willing to work on (which includes having cycles for 
that).
     * what the WG might be rechartered to do is not necessarily limited to 
that; so other proposals are welcome.

     So, we thought of the following:

     * general architectural work / extensions
     there are still few items on our plate and we expect that some might need 
to be progressed, and we should maybe allow for others to come.

     * service chaining
     last meeting there were proposals discussed in SPRING to realize some form 
of service chaining. any work in that space would require close coordination 
with SFC and maybe other WG.

     * yang
     we are a bit behind here and there is definitely work to do.


    So please comment on these and propose additional items.

    We'll likely have a dedicated slot in London but we'd like to progress 
before that.

    Thank you,
    --Martin, Rob, Bruno
