Speaking as WG member:

Hi Aijun,
If you want a per-neighbor state and route, you have to use P2MP. This scope of 
this draft isn’t to try and make NBMA/Broadcast model something that it is not. 
This is should be common knowledge and the draft needn’t address it. Those of 
us who remember ATM emulated LANs (which were not always symmetrically 
reliable) will recall using P2MP on an inherently multi-access network.

Subject: RE: [Lsr] Working Group Last Call for "OSPF Strict-Mode for BFD" - 
draft-ietf-lsr-ospf-bfd-strict-mode-04

Hi, Ketan:
OK, then back to my original question:
If one of the BFD session(between DRothers) is DOWN, will it bring DOWN the 
OSPF adjacency(between the DRother and DR/BDR)?
If not, then the traffic between these DRothers will be lost; If yes, it seems 
strange, because the BFD session between the DRother and DR/BDR may be still UP.
I think here there are some mismatch between the BFD sessions and the OSPF 
adjacency in Broadcast/NBMA network, then some clarification for the procedures 
are needed.

Hi Aijun,

The choice of the term "adjacency" was not accurate in my previous response to 
you. I meant "neighborship".

That said, the substance of my response still remains the same.

Thanks,
Ketan

Hi, Ketan:
    For the Broadcast/NMBA network type, if you establish BFD sessions before 
the DR/BDR selection, then there will be full mesh BFD sessions within the 
routers on such media type?
Instead of establishing the BFD sessions with DR/BDR only, the same as the OSPF 
adjacency relationship? If so, if one of the BFD session that not with the 
DR/BDR is DOWN, what’s the action then?

KT> I think there is perhaps a misunderstanding of the purpose of BFD use with 
OSPF. Perhaps a careful reading of RFC5882 would help? In short, BFD is used to 
verify bidirectional connectivity between neighbors to ensure data may be 
forwarded between them. OSPF adjacency is built between every router in a LAN 
since they can directly forward packets between themselves.
[WAJ] In Broadcast/NBMA network, OSPF adjacency is built only between the 
routers and DR/BDR.

Hi, Acee:

Yes. Then I think the sentence in 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-lsr-ospf-bfd-strict-mode#section-2
 as the following should be relaxed:
“A router MUST include the LLS block with the LLS Type 1 Extended
   Options and Flags TLV with the B-bit set in its Hello and DD packets
   when strict-mode for BFD is enabled on the link.”
It seems that there is no use for such information being included in the DD 
packets.

KT> Since LLS is present in both Hello and DD packets, not including the B bit 
in DD packets will result in a different LLS options being seen in Hello and 
DD. This can trigger the change in LLS option logic unnecessarily. Hence, to 
keep things simple and consistent (and this should be for technically all LLS 
options), it makes sense to include them in both Hello and DD packets.


And, one more question to the Authors of this draft:
What’s the procedures for the interaction of BFD session and OSPF adjacency 
establishment in the Broadcast/NBMA network type interface, which is involved 
the DR/BDR election procedures?  The BFD session establishment should be after 
the DR/BDR election?
Should the procedures in section 4 be updated to cover such scenario?

KT> The procedures in Sec 4 update the transition to INIT state in the OSPF 
Neighbor FSM. This happens before DR election and is independent of the type of 
network/link - applies also to Broadcast/NMBA. The main goal of this proposal 
is to first verify BFD session establishment and only then trigger OSPF 
adjacency procedures. Doing DR election before BFD session does not serve the 
purpose.

Thanks,
Ketan

Hi, Ketan:

I know. According to the description of RFC 5613, the LLS Data Block is only 
attached at the OSPF hello and DD packets.

If you read section 4 of the draft, you’ll see that the strict mode behavior is 
based on the LLS block in OSPF Hello packets.

Thanks,
Acee

What I want to know is that where to encapsulate the LLS Data Block if the 
router uses OSPFv3 Extended LSAs to establish the adjacency?

Hi Aijun,

This document proposes changes to the adjacency establishment procedures and 
the use of LLS for negotiations. As such, it is independent of OSPFv3 Extended 
LSAs. Please let us know if you believe otherwise.

I support this draft, as one of the authors, as well as a BFD user, and hope it 
becomes a standard.

This draft addresses an issue that we have encountered in our production 
network, hence we have been actively working with our vendors.

Most people deploy BFD with OSPF (or any routing protocols) to enable fast 
failure detection. This is to ensure that routing/forwarding path is diverted 
as soon as a connectivity issue is detected.

OSPF BFD strict mode ensures this, in that it requires that the BFD session to 
be established before OSPF adjacency will be allowed to be established, thus 
ensuring that routing/forwarding will not use the path without a working BFD 
adjacency.

Without this standard, as per most current default OSPF BFD deployment, OSPF 
adjacency is established without BFD. OSPF adjacency then triggers the BFD 
session to be established. If a "break-in-middle" issue occurred (where last 
mile interface status remains up) before BFD session comes up, we would lose 
the fast failure detection capability. This situation will require lengthy OSPF 
protocol timeout to detect such failure, resulting in traffic being black-holed 
for extended period.

We have a large network consisting of several thousand links throughout the 
world, and have seen this issue several times that had impacted production 
traffic negatively.

As mentioned in a previous email, we have successfully tested this feature on 
the Juniper MX (JUNOS 19.4) and also Cisco ASR9k (XR 7.3.2) platforms.
