Hi Yingzhen

So with OSPFV2 using RFC 6549 would support multiple instances or OSPFV3 
already supports instances, how is the GT instance differentiated from any 
other routed instance?

Did you read the draft? The main difference is that since OSPF-GT is 
generalized to be used for non-routing, there is installation of routes. 
OSPF-GT neighbors need not be directly attached (or come with complex OSPF 
Virtual-Link considerations and processing). Depending on the application, the 
extent to which the “condition of reachability” is enforced MUST be described 
in the document describing the application usage of OSPF-GT.


For OSPFV2 it would use Opaque LSA Type 9,10,21 similar to RSVP-TE with an 
opaque option code for GTI.

For OSPFV3 it would use an OSPFV3 function code for GTI.

So the NBI BGP-LS peering to the PCE/SDN controller would be replaced with a   
OSPF GTI neighbor ?

It could be but that is just one OSPF-GT use case and would need to be 
described in a separate draft.

Would you still need a standard routed OSPF neighbor for reachability or I 
guess you could put a static route on the controller across the NBI for 
reachability.

Yes.

Is that correct?

Are there any operators implementations of this using OSPF GTI in place of 
BGP-LS?

You mean OSPF-GT… Since the draft to describe the details of using OSPF-GT in 
place of BGP-LS is yet to be written, it would be very strange indeed if it 
were already deployed. 😉

RFC 6823 provides the same GTI solution for ISIS.

Yes and no, OSPF-GT is able to cover a much wider range of applications than 
RFC 683. This is due mostly to OSPF (and especially OSPFv3 with extended LSAs) 
being much more flexible than IS-IS.


Are there any operators implementations of this using OSPF GTI in place of 
BGP-LS?

No - answered above.

Thanks,
Acee


Kind Regards

Hi,

Since we’re discussing possible solutions, I’d like to bring up the draft: 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lsr-ospf-transport-instance/

We just submitted a new version. The name of the document is changed to 
“OSPF-GT (Generalized Transport)”, and a use case is added to use OSPF-GT as a 
possible replacement of BGP-LS.

Note: OSPF-GT is not traditional OSPF, and it’s not used to calculate routes. 
It uses the reachability info calculated by routing protocols, OSPF, ISIS or 
static routing etc.. It provides mechanisms to advertise non-routing 
information, and remote neighbor is supported.

Reviews and comments are welcome.


Thanks,
Yingzhen

An interim sounds like a good plan.

[IDR-chair hat]
Alvaro has indicated that since all of the proposal received on the IDR list 
are new protocol proposals,
·         Capturing IDR’s input on BGP-LS problems and potential solutions is 
appropriate for IDR as BGP-LS home.
·         Refining any potential non-BGP solutions is outside of the scope of 
IDR.

[IDR-chair hat off]

I’d love to attend an interim on this topic.

Speaking as RTGWG chair:

Robert - I don’t think we’d have enough time to accommodate a good discussion 
during IETF114 (we got only 1 slot), however would be happy to provide a 
platform for an interim.
The topic is important and personally (being a very large BGP-LS user) I’d like 
to see it progressing.
Cheers,
Jeff

Hi Acee,

Yes, by all means input from the operator's community is needed. It can be 
collected through LSR WG, IDR WG or GROW WG. RTGWG could also contribute. We 
have already seen input from some operators and their opinion on adding and 
distributing more and more link state protocol and topology data in BGP. More 
such input is very welcome.

And to your point about RFC9086 - I see nothing wrong in keeping BGP 
information in BGP. So IGP Monitoring Protocol does not target to shut down 
BGP-LS. It only aims to remove 100% of non BGP sourced information from it.

Controllers which today listen to BGP-LS need a number of information sources 
and that spread will only keep increasing as more inputs are becoming necessary 
for its computations.

Regards,
Robert.

Hi Acee,

Thank you. I was not planning to present it in the upcoming IETF.

An alternative approach could be to see how many stakeholders do not want to 
further (for no good reason) to trash BGP. That to me would be in this specific 
case a much better gauge.

In that case, it seems to me that this discussion should be relegated to IDR. 
Note that there is already non-IGP information transported in BGP-LS, e.g., 
Egress Peer Engineering (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc9086/). I 
implemented this on our data center routers (NXOS) years and it is solely BGP 
specific.

Thanks,
Acee

Kind regards,
Robert

Subject: [Lsr] IGP Monitoring Protocol

Dear LSR WG,

Based on ongoing discussion in respect to the future of BGP-LS I committed 
myself to put together an alternate proposal.

The main goal is not to just publish a -00 version of the draft using different 
encapsulation. The goal is to make a useful tool which can help to export link 
state information from network elements as well as assist in network 
observability.

The IGP Monitoring Protocol (IMP) draft has been posted and should be available 
at:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-raszuk-lsr-imp/

One of the key points I wanted to accomplish was full backwards compatibility 
with TLVs defined for BGP-LS. In parallel other formats (optional) are also 
supported.

The PUB-SUB nature or FILTERING capabilities are in the spec however as noted 
in the deployment section there is no expectation that this should be supported 
directly on routers. Concept of Producer's Proxies has been introduced to 
support this added functionality as well as provide fan-out (analogy to BGP 
route reflectors).

I encourage everyone interested to take a look and provide comments. At this 
point this document is nothing more than my individual submission. Offline I 
have had few conversations with both operators and vendors expressing some 
level of interest in this work. How we proceed further (if at all :) depends on 
WG feedback.

Kind regards,
Robert.

PS, I do believe this work belongs in LSR WG pretty squerly.

Let’s see how many stakeholders actually want to this protocol - then we can 
talk about a WG home.  By stakeholders, I mean operators and vendors who are 
committed to implementing and deploying it - not simply those who you are able 
to enlist as co-authors. Note that our IETF 114 LSR agenda is full (with 
multiple agenda items not making the cut).

Thanks,
Acee
