I don’t think so.  Today things just work, at a given time scale.  What you 
said you are trying to do is reduce the time scale for detecting that an 
application on a node has failed.  However, conflating the health of a node 
with the health of an application on that node seems to be inherently flawed.

When the node is up, all the following process are passed to the application 
layer. This is the normal procedures of the IGP should do.
According to your logic, IGP are solving the wrong problem now?

Correct, but as Tony, Robert and I have noted, a node being up does not mean 
that an application on that node is up, which means that your proposed solution 
is probably a solution to the wrong problem.  Further, Robert’s solution is 
probably a solution to the right problem.

Hi, John:
Please note if the node is down, the service will not be accessed.
We are discussing the “DOWN” notification, not the “UP” notification.

Hi Les,

> You seem focused on the notification delivery mechanism only.

Not really. For me, an advertised summary is like a prefix when you are dialing 
a country code. Call signaling knows to go north if you are calling a crab shop 
in Alaska.

Now such direction does not indicate if the shop is open or has crabs.

That info you need to get over the top as a service. So I am much more in favor 
to make the service to tell you directly or indirectly that it is available.

[JD]  Right.  Just because a node is up and connected to the network does not 
imply that a given application is active on it.

Best,
R.

Les,

We have received requests from real customers who both need to summarize AND 
would like better response time to loss of reachability to individual nodes.

We all agree the request is legitimate.

[LES:] It does not seem to me that everyone does agree on that – but I 
appreciate that you agree.

But do they realize that to practically employ what you are proposing (new PDU 
flooding) requires 100% software upgrade to all IGP nodes in the entire network 
? Do they also realize that to effectively use it requires data plane change 
(sure software but data plane code is not as simple as PI) on all ingress PEs ?

[LES:] As far as forwarding, as Peter has indicated, we have a POC and it works 
fine. And there are many possible ways for implementations to go.
It may or may not require 100% software upgrade – but I agree a significant 
number of nodes have to be upgraded to at least support pulse flooding.


And with scale requirements you are describing it seems this would be 1000s of 
nodes (if not more). That's massive if compared to alternative approaches to 
achieve the same or even better results.

[LES:] Be happy to review other solutions if/when someone writes them up.
I think what is overlooked in the discussion of other solutions is that 
reachability info is provided by the IGP. If all the IGP advertises is a 
summary then how would individual loss of reachability become known at scale?
You seem focused on the notification delivery mechanism only.

   Les

Many thx,
Robert
