Hi Xuesong,

Clarification question: are you talking about interoperability (between two 
nodes) or compliancy (between an implementation and the RFC)?
If the former, could you please spell out the interop issue?

Thanks,
Best regards,
--Bruno

Hi Les,

Prefix Attributes sub-TLV is necessary when locator is leaked.
So we are not against Prefix Attribute sub-TLV implementation. We just propose 
to keep it optional ("should" rather than "must") for interoperability.

Shraddha/ Xuesong -

Since Prefix Attributes sub-TLV is required for correct operation when a 
Locator is leaked, would it be safe to assume that your implementations either 
do not leak Locators or you advise your customers not to deploy this feature 
with multiple levels?

The problem with allowing the sub-TLV to be optional is that if the sub-TLV is 
omitted you cannot tell whether the Locator has been leaked - so you don't know 
whether you have a problem or not.

The safest thing to do is require prefix-attributes sub-TLV always - then you 
can guarantee that if the prefix is leaked the necessary information will be 
present.
Anything else leaves us vulnerable.

We all appreciate interoperability considerations, but frankly this is a gap 
that needs to be closed to support correct operation.

   Les

Juniper has an  implementation of SRv6 that does not support Prefix attributes 
sub-tlv in locator TLV.
We would prefer not to change the optional sub-TLV to MUST.

So...what does everyone else think?

We need to close on this point before the IESG evaluates the document.  I'm 
requesting it to be put on the May/20 telechat, which means that we should have 
a resolution and updated draft by the end of next week.


Thanks!

Alvaro.

Hi Gunter,

Prefix Attribute Flags Sub-TLV has been defined as an optional Sub-TLV.
The problem you describe is not specific to Locator TLV, same applies to
regular IPv4/v6 prefixes (forget SR MPLS for a while) - if the Prefix
Attribute Flags TLV is not included, one can not tell whether the prefix
has been propagated (L1->L2) or generated as a result of the local
interface attached on the originator. Same applies to redistribution and
R-flag for IPv4 prefix TLVs.

SRv6 Locator TLV has been defined a while back and the Prefix Attribute
Flags Sub-TLV has always been an optional Sub-TLV of it. I'm not sure we
can start to mandate the Prefix Attribute Flags TLV at this point.

Technically I agree with you and if everybody agrees, I'm fine to
enforce the presence of the Prefix Attribute Flags TLV in the Locator TLV.

thanks,
Peter
