Dear All,

I concur with all what has been said in support of the adoption of this draft 
by SPRING WG. The document is well-written, addresses the real problem in 
SR-MPLS, and the proposed solution is technically viable.

My comments and questions are entirely for further discussion:

*       would the draft be expanded to demonstrate how "the Path Segment may be 
used to identify an SR-MPLS Policy, its Candidate-Path (CP) or a SID List (SL)"?

[Weiqiang] Yes, It is necessary and we will add some text to demonstrate this 
in the future version. 

*       as many use cases for the Path Segment are related to OAM operations, 
it would be helpful to expand on the use of GAL and the Path Segment.

       [Weiqiang] It is always helpful to have more use cases. However, The GAL 
is used today in MPLS-TP LSPs to flag the G-Ach and is used for OAM packets 
only while the Path segment is used for data packets for the each traffic flow. 
It is a little bit different. 

Regards,

Greg

+1.

 

I have been following this draft from its -00 revision. The current revision 
has resolved most of the issues I (and others) have been raised (e.g., 
elimination of excessive options).

1.       It addresses a real and relevant problem, namely the MPLS Flow 
Identification problem discussed in general in RFC 8372 
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8372>  and scoped to SR-MPLS LSPs in this 
draft. Specifics of SR-MPLS include the need to provide end-to-end liveness 
check that is one of the requirements explicitly specified in Section 2 of RFC 
8355 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8355> . 

2.       It provides a reasonable (from my POV) approach to  solution of this 
problem.

 

I also concur with Stewart’s comment about strong similarity between the 
approach taken in this draft for SR-MPLS and generic work in progress on 
synonymous flow labels 
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-mpls-sfl-framework-04>  that has been 
already adopted as a MPLS WG item.  To me this is yet another indication that 
the draft should be adopted.

 

My 2c,

Sasha

I have just read the draft and agree that it should be adopted by the WG. It 
solves an important problem in instrumenting and protecting an SR path.

 

It should be noted that we needed to do something very similar in mainstream 
MPLS via the synonymous label work which is already adopted. 

However SL did not address the SR case. We therefore need this path label work 
to be progressed.
