Hi, Gyan:

 

Thanks for your considerations.

The use case in the appendix is the start point of this draft,  not the 
application of it.  

Putting it into the appendix just want to let the reader focus on the protocol 
extension itself. For the usages of the protocol extension, the reader can 
refer the description in the appendix.  

We have discussed the contents in appendix before. The discussion results are 
stated in the appendix now. 

 

For operators in SDN era, there are strong motivations to accomplish e2e 
service assurance. To achieve this, the overall e2e topology is the 
prerequisite information.  Knowing the originator of the prefixes can deduce 
the inter-area topology which is hidden by ABR.  We don’t preclude other use 
cases of this extension, but they are not prominent as this case.

 

Best Regards

Agreed.  Also as use cases go that does delve into implementation aspects of 
which can vary significantly. 

 

So to your point as Les and Chris mentioned the focus of LSR and drafts 
published is on the protocol extension.  How it’s used is out of scope and 
could be a draft in another WG.  In this case moreso not pertinent since the 
primary use case gets into the weeds on a TEAS or PCE topiic.

 

Thanks

I support advancement of the draft.  

 

This draft follows along the lines of ISIS RFC 7794 to provide an extension to 
identify the prefix originator attribute using an originating router TLV and a 
reachable prefix.  A node in ospf is represented by a router-id which 
technically can be a random 4 octet prefix that does not have to be reachable 
entry in the IGP RIB.  

 

The reachability prefix is important in cases where the originator router-id is 
not  in the RIB or in traffic engineering inter as path instantiation use case 
where the router-id originator node is advertised, however since the TEDs 
database link attributes are not known inter-as,having the reachability address 
is important as defined in the draft.  This feature can also be used  
identifying the prefix originator in a normal user case other then the traffic 
engineering scenario such as for troubleshooting which is common to view all 
the prefixes advertised by a node by Prefix type. 

 

There maybe cases where you need to create  a database filter or policy and if 
you can use this feature as a means of controlling prefix advertisements based 
on source node that can be powerful and could have ubiquitous use cases.

 

With regards to the appendix it does appear to be pertinent, as the use case 
appears to be the primary focal point and reason for the draft by the authors.  
I don’t think that having the appendix  precluding other use cases by any 
means. 

[KT] The Introduction section of the draft does touch upon some of the primary 
use-cases that authors believe have more wide-spread applicability. You have 
also alluded to some of them and then you have also brought out some newer 
use-cases/applications of the extensions in this draft. There were other 
use-cases in previous versions like ELC which later went away based on how we 
addressed that in draft-ietf-ospf/isis-mpls-elc documents. I am sure there will 
be newer use-cases. The focus of the draft is primary to capture the protocol 
extensions since that is what we work on in LSR. The scope of the use-cases may 
be beyond LSR and in other areas (e.g. TEAS perhaps for the one in the appendix 
?). Regarding the use-case in the appendix, it would be fair to say that it was 
primary focal point for some of the authors.

 

I will leave it to the WG consensus on what content we should be sending to the 
IESG.

 

Thanks,

Ketan

 

Kind Regards

Hi, Les, John and Jeff:

Let's reply you all together.
In my POV, The standard document should not define solely the protocol 
extension, but their usages in the network deployment. As I known, almost all 
the IETF documents following this style. 
And, before adopting one work, we have often intense discussion for what's 
their usages. 
Such discussion in the mail list and statements in the document can certainly 
assist the reader/user of the document get the essence of the standard, and 
follow them unambiguously.

Regarding the contents of appendices, as stated in the section, "The Appendix A 
heuristic to rebuild the topology can normally be used if all links are 
numbered." I think this can apply almost most of the operator's network, and 
facilitate the inter-area TE path calculation for central controller, or even 
for the head-end router that located in one area that different from the 
tail-end router.

Keeping the contents of appendices does not have the negative impact of the 
protocol extension, it is just one reference for the usage of this extension. 
One can select not refer to it, if their networks are deployed with large 
amount of unnumbered links. But for others, the heuristic applies.
