Hi Greg/Sasha/All, I really wonder whether we are talking about the same document anymore. The subject of this thread is https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-voyer-spring-sr-replication-segment-00
It is indeed possible that you and others are referring to some other document(s)? From reading of the draft, one can see that : * It does not deal with multicast group joins/receivers or senders * It does not build multicast trees * It does not talk about multicast flows * It simply introduces a new type of segment called Replication Segment (p2mp) for a specific local node forwarding behaviour that is in line with the Spring Charter (see below) o New types of segments mapping to forwarding behaviour (e.g., local ingress replication, local forwarding resources, a pre-existing replication structure) if needed for new usages. Can you please take another quick read over the draft with the above context in mind? I am positive that you will see that this is not getting multicast work in Spring – that is being worked on in other WGs.

My only point was that MVPN provides the reference architecture for dealing w/ multicast using a multiplicity of tunnel types in a consistent manner, as Sasha alluded to in his mention of PMSI.

Just curious how is this at all relevant for this discussion ? Do I have to roll out MVPN monster to split my unicast UDP stream to few receivers at selected network point ? And last but not least who said this is at all related to "ingress replication" ??? Ingress to p2mp segment can be at any SR midpoint in the network. Are you suggesting to run MVPN apparatus with manual tree building ? Whow :) Thx, R.

You seem to imply that a multicast distribution tree that is built, say, by an SDN controller and used, say, to act as a PMSI in the mVPN application, is not really a multicast. Personally I disagree, but this is a matter of taste and terminology. What looks unambiguous to me is that: * The WG charter explicitly mentions ingress replication as one of “new types of segments mapping to forwarding behavior” that “may require architectural extensions” * The current architecture document does not cover any such segment type (whether because such segments have been considered as related to multicast by the authors, or for some other reason is not all that important. ) Therefore my concern remains unresolved regardless of whether ingress replication is or is not formally considered as multicast.

IMHO N number of replicated unicasts is still not a multicast. Multicast in my definition requires multicast groups, receiver joins, tree building protocols etc ... and this draft does not suggest any of this. IN contrast it just describes how can we have p2mp unicast distribution ... call it fan out node. Thx, R.

These concerns are based on the following: 1. This draft (both based on its title and on its content) deals with local (in the Root node) ingress replication which, in its turn, is one of the issues that could be used for delivery of multicast. 2. Local ingress replication is mentioned in the SPRING WG Charter as one of the “New types of segments mapping to forwarding behavior”. The charter further says that “Any of the above <Sasha: New types of segments> may require architectural extensions” 3. The current (and, AFAIK, the only existing) Segment Routing Architecture document (RFC 8402<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/clicktime.symantec.com/34qM9QogJnh1eY5nZPXYAkA6H2?u=https*3A*2F*2Ftools.ietf.org*2Fhtml*2Frfc8402__;JSUlJSU!8WoA6RjC81c!TeDGZsCZsxVU3U1A-_hQaYhZsmLZFF4oF-lGSpNnOmTa-zUl6jfGkGEUOvwkLSU$>) explicitly states in Section 6 that “Segment Routing is defined for unicast. The application of the source-route concept to Multicast is not in the scope of this document”. The combinations of observations above strongly suggests to me that a document defining multicast-related extensions of segment routing architecture should be very useful (if not mandatory) for progressing the Replication Segment draft. From my POV the Replication Segment draft is not (and is not intended to be) such a document. I wonder if there is an intention to produce such a document in the timeframe that could be relevant for discussion of the Replication Segment draft. Nothing in this message should be interpreted as my objection to (or support of) adoption of the Replication Segment draft as a WG document per se. Bit I find it difficult to take a position any which way without a clear and commonly agreed upon framework for multicast in segment routing.
