- The order in which the two mechanisms are introduced in section 2
and 4 was confusing to me at first read. I think it would flow
better if the midpoint to headend signalling was mentioned first,
and the headend to midpoint mechanism was defined afterwards,
saying something like
- A head-end LSR to trigger on every LSR whose next hop is a
loose hop or an abstract node the re-evaluation of the
current
path in order to detect a potential more optimal path, which
may
result in the mid-point LSR using the mechanism above to
signal
the existence of such a more optimal path
(Note: The English of the paragraph reads oddly, given that the
bullets do not form complete sentences without the introductory
text; it's possible to do this better, I think.)
I kept the same order (because the first mechanism is likely to
be the
one more commonly used - that said, they're not exclusive) but I
reworded a bit since indeed clarify could be improved. Thanks.
isn't the answer to the headend-to-midpoint query an instance of
the midpoint-to-headend signal?
from the doc, I understood it as if the headend can't tell the
difference between a spontaneous reoptimization and a
reoptimization done in response to a headend query - but there may
be a difference I missed.
You did not miss anything ;-) but in the mid-point notification case
there are other cases that we handle such as the reoptimization for
path maintenance and so on ... Thus starting with the head-end
control function is more didactic ;-)
Not terribly important!
Good, thanks. I'll repost today to move forward. Just a process-
oriented question. What is the logical next step after having
addressed the gen-art review comments ?
Thanks.
Cheers.
JP.
