Draft authors -


I note that as the draft has evolved over the years a number of mechanisms have 
been removed (revised adjacency formation and auto tier detection) and the 
draft now focuses exclusively on flooding optimizations.

The draft now also references the recent work done in 
draft-ietf-lsr-dynamic-flooding.



A couple of things are not clear to me.



1)Is it your intent to use the mechanisms defined in 
draft-ietf-lsr-dynamic-flooding? I am specifically - though not exclusively - 
referring to how flooding adapts to topology changes.

It isn't clear from Section 3 whether you are actually intending to use the 
mechanisms defined in 
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-lsr-dynamic-flooding-07#section-6.8 or 
whether you simply want to use the Flooding sub-TLV defined in 
draft-ietf-lsr-dynamic-flooding to (optionally??) advertise your algorithm and 
all other procedures are specific to your algorithm.



2)The text at the end of 
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-white-lsr-distoptflood-00#section-2.1 states:



" LSPs transmitted to adjacent

   neighbors on the DNR list, however, MUST be transmitted using a

   circuit scope PDU as described in [RFC7356]."



Although this text is not new to this revision, it raises a number of 
questions/concerns - some of which relate to how this draft fits with 
draft-ietf-lsr-dynamic-flooding.



For "DNR neighbors", although a circuit scoped LSP was received, the actual 
content is a traditional area scoped LSP. This presumably needs to be used 
internally (e.g., when running the Decision Process) in the same way as an area 
scoped LSP. So there are now two internal databases (traditional area LSPs and 
Circuit Scoped LSPs) which have to be used as if they are a single database?

When a node sends a traditional CSNP does it include the LSPs it received as 
Circuit-Scoped LSPs?

If not, how is resynchronization achieved when necessary?

Given the base work defined in draft-ietf-lsr-dynamic-flooding why is the use 
of Circuit Scoped LSPs required/useful?



In general, it would be helpful to more completely define the relationship 
between this draft and draft-ietf-lsr-dynamic-flooding.



Thanx.

> Abstract:

>    In dense topologies, such as data center fabrics based on the Clos

>    and butterfly fabric topologies, flooding mechanisms designed for

>    sparse topologies, when used in these dense topologies, can

>    "overflood," or carry too many copies of topology and reachability to

>    fabric devices.  This results in slower convergence times and higher

>    resource utilization.  The modifications to the flooding mechanism in

>    the Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) link state

>    protocol described in this document reduce resource utilization to a

>    minimum, while increaseing convergence performance in dense

>    topologies.

>

>    Note that a Clos fabric is used as the primary example of a desne

>    flooding topology throughout this document.  However, the flooding

>    optimizations described in this document apply to any dense topology.
