Hi Greg,



Additionally, in a vacuum light will only travel 300 meters in a
microsecond. So, in a nanosecond, that is less than a foot. What
transmission technology and application do you anticipate that will
require this this precision?

Off by a few magnitude; light travels just shy of 300,000,000 meters per second.

Consider that 100Gbps links transmit 100 bits every nanosecond. So about 5 
nanoseconds to send a minimum sized ethernet frame (sans the pre/postamble).

Thanks,
Chris.





Thanks,

Acee

Hi Greg,



That’s a very fair question and not one that has been discussed.



Do we have that kind of accuracy from any of our measurement tools?
Is that even on the horizon?  I haven’t seen that…



If it is time for nanosecond level measurement, then is it time to
shift to floating point to give us more range?

    Hi Shraddha, Authors, et al.,

    I apologize if my question has already been discussed. The unit
    for the maximum link delay in the draft is a microsecond. There
    is a group of services that require a highly accurate bounded
    delay. Have you considered using a nanosecond as the unit for the
    link delay?

        Hi Shraddha,



        Thanks. Actually, I don't really want to define other metric
        types.

        Let's go back to the bandwidth-metric related to bandwidth
        capability. My worry is that bandwidth-metric (whether it is
        automatically calculated or manually configured) is not
        cumulative in nature,

        <Shraddha> Yes that is correct.

        which is different from IGP default metric/TE metric/delay
        metric,



        so that SPF based on bandwidth-metric may get an unexpected
        path (see the example of the original mail).

        Can more text be added in the draft to describe why this can
        work ?

        <Shraddha> Knowing that metric derived inversely from the
        link bandwidth is not additive in nature, should set the
        expectation right. I can add some text in this regard.



        Regards,

        Hi Pengshaofu,



        If an operator wants to configure any other metric type draft
        provides a mechanism with generic metric.

        Generic metric allows any standard or user-defined type
        metric to be configured.

        The draft allows for any computing application such as
        Flex-algo, CSPF etc to make use of the

        Metric. The intention of the draft is that for a particular
        computation same metric-type is used

        throughout the network. If that is not clear, I’ll add some
        text in the draft.



        Using a combination of different metrics for a single
        computation would need significant change to SPF algorithm
        and it is not in the scope of the draft "Flexible Algorithms:
        Bandwidth, Delay, Metrics and Constraints".



        Hope that clarifies.

        Hi Shraddha,



        The two methods of automatic generation of BW-metric
        introduced in the draft are also likely to be the method of
        manual configuration of BW-metric by operators. Operators
        can certainly manually configure any  BW-metric he wants to
        configure.

        However, the manually configured BW-metric cannot deviate
        from the actual bandwidth capacity of the link, otherwise it
        could be any other names such as BX-metric.

        For manual assignment, the problem may still exist We can
        find an example that  the accumulated bandwidth-metric on the
        path may offset the manually increased bandwidth-metric of
        links on the path.

        Combination of bandwidth attribute of link and other metric
        that is cumulative may be another co-exist way to completely
        address this issue.

        Hi Pengshaofu,



        I was suggesting to manually assign bandwidth metric which
        will override the automatic metric calculation

        as described in the draft section 5. Physically adding more
        fiber/capacity is not a feasible solution.

        Hi Shraddha,



        Thanks for your rely.

        So it seems that the scheme may lead to the selection of
        links with less bandwidth. To address this point, the method
        as you described to assign more bandwidth to high bandwidth
        links seems not always possible, e.g, adding more fiber ?

        Can this point can be addressed by combination of bandwidth
        attribute of link and other metric that is cumulative ? IMO,
        bandwidth is not cumulative.

        Hi Peng shaofu,



        As per the draft, if automatic metric calculation with
        reference bandwidth method is used to calculate the metric

        Then as per your example s->D path will be chosen since
        metric is 10.

        Lets say operator wants to choose S->X1->X2-àX10->D path then
        operator can manually assign higher bandwidth

        Metric on S->D link which will ensure S->D path is not the
        least cost path.

        Sorry for spelling mistakens in the previous email.

        updated text:





        Hi WG,



        I have a little doubt about the scheme described in this
        document.

        See the following example:



        S ---- X1 ----- X2 ---- ... ... ----- X10 ----- D

            \----------------------------------------------/



        Suppose the links in S---X1---X2...---D have the same
        bandwidth  10G, and the link S-D has bandwidth 1G.

        Suppose that we select "reference bandwidth = 100G", then,

        each link  in S---X1---X2...---D will have the same
        bandwidth-metric  10 (i.e., 100/10)

        link S-D will have a bandwidth-metric 100 (i.e., 100/1)



        So flex-algo path from S to D based on bandwidth-metric will
        be S-D, not S---X1---X2...---D, because the later has a large
        cumulative bandwitdh-metric (i.e., 11*10).

        But our expect path should not be S-D, but
        S---X1---X2...---D, as it has large bandwidth.

        Do I misunderstand anything ?
