Speaking as WG member and longtime steward  of the IGPs:



Hi Aijun,



My opinion is that we should not overload the base IGP topology advertisements 
with everyone's favorite obscure use case. Hence, I think it would be a big 
mistake to add this stub link TLV to the base LSAs.

[WAJ] Putting the information in other regular TLVs, or putting them in LSA of 
one independent IGP instance(as you proposed in 109 meeting) will be more 
expensive. Do you agree this statement?



No – bloating the primary LSAs with non-routing information will be more 
expensive due to the dynamics of LSA origination and route computation.



Rather, exactly what problem are you trying to solve? Previously, you were 
trying to associate the passive interface attribute with a prefix and making 
some inference related to an inter-AS boundary (this was not entirely clear). 
What problem are you trying to solve? Precisely, what do you want the 
controller to learn (i.e., address or interface index) and what is it going to 
do with it.

[WAJ] Passive Interfaces are already deployed within the network in many 
places, as stated in the 
draft-wang-lsr-passive-interface-attribute-06#section-1<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-wang-lsr-passive-interface-attribute-06#section-1>.
 What we want to know, is the position of passive interface. Previously, we 
want piggyback such information within its associated prefix, but after 
discussion on the mail list, define one new TLV to contain it and other future 
information may be more acceptable and extensible.



And how do identify and even define the position of the passive interface? As I 
stated previously, passive interfaces are not standardized.



Knowing these information, the controller can learn the inter-as links via some 
methods that we have discussed in another thread, can know the boundary of 
network, can learn the link characteristic that associated with server etc. We 
have also mentioned it in the 
draft-wang-lsr-passive-interface-attribute-06#section-1<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-wang-lsr-passive-interface-attribute-06#section-1>
 and think it is not appropriate to expand it intensely in one LSR draft.



I disagree. Precisely define your use case.



Please don't try and solve the CFN problem as the requirements are not clear 
(anycast, unicast, impact on routing, scope, etc).

[WAJ] In your 109 meeting presentation 
slides-109-lsr-5-ospf-transport-instance-00<https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/109/materials/slides-109-lsr-5-ospf-transport-instance-00>,
 you mentioned also the similar information that should be transferred via the 
OSPF protocol. I think this is the direction and we can prepare for it in 
advance. Putting such non-routing information in one independent TLV can 
certainly keep the stability of IGP protocol.



This was just an example of something that could be offloaded to a separate 
instance in the slides. It is not a specification.



Thanks,

Acee







Thanks,

    Hi, Acee:



    As discussed on the list and during the 109 meeting, we have updated the 
draft to reflect the comments from the LSR community.

    Please see whether you have still other concerns or not and if there is no 
further comments on this direction, can we begin the WG adoption call then?

    Thanks you and Peter for your intense discussions for this draft.



    Thanks in advance.
