This is on https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mrw-homenet-rtg-comparison As Mark mentioned, we didn't attempt to reach consensus with this document -- we tried to produce something that's reasonably informative as quickly as possible. Here's my initial list of things that we might consider tweaking for -02: 1. The table in Section 13.3 compares the available implementation of Source-Specific Babel with the available implementation of Source-Specific IS-IS, which is written in Erlang and requires massive resources. We should add a column with the sizes of Quagga's C version of IS-IS -- while this version is incomplete and not source-specific, this should give a rough idea of how much we can expect to be able to scale down IS-IS. (This is a little more work than you might expect, since it requires isolating just the isisd, zebra and libzebra bits of Quagga. I hope Steven volunteers ;-) ) 2. We didn't discuss the fact that Babel runs over UDP, while IS-IS runs directly over layer 2. This has a number of consequences, most notably related to ease of implementation, portability, and the ability to run over tunnels (say, GRE or OpenVPN in tun mode). I refer you to my previous posting to this list: http://mid.gmane.org/87iookwzgj.wl%25...@pps.univ-paris-diderot.fr 3. Section 3.3 makes some rather strong claims about IS-IS scalability. Since we later argue in favour of a single-area implementation of IS-IS, I feel that these claims require some justification. However, since I'm not convinced that scalability beyond 200 nodes or so is an important issue for Homenet, I won't try to push this particular point. -- Juliusz _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list homenet@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
