主题: Re: [Lsr] WG Adoption Call - draft-wang-lsr-stub-link-attributes 
(01/05/2024 - 01/19/2024)

 

Speaking as WG member:

 

I don’t support adoption of this draft. 

 

First of all, I think the basic premise of the draft is flawed in that a link 
is advertised as a stub and, from that, one can deduce uses of the link. Why 
not just advertise what is being deduced? 

[WAJ]: The stub links are existing at the network boundary. We can’t advertise 
them as one normal IGP link. Then, what’s your proposal that “why not just 
advertise what is being deduced”?

 

Second, I don’t think the draft is necessary. The use case in A.1 is solely for 
an IGP router to advertise this stub link characteristic to a controller for 
inter-AS TE. Since it is only for the controller why wouldn’t be BGP-LS be 
used? It seems this is how it ultimately gets to the controller anyway. 

[WAJ]: As explained in the document----“it is required that the BGP-LS to be 
enabled on every router that has the stub links, which is challenging for the 
network operation. It is desirable to advertise the stub link info into the IGP 
to ease the deployment of BGP-LS on any router in the IGP domain.”

 

Furthermore, if it were to be put into the IGPs, why wouldn’t something like 
RFC 9346 be used for inter-AS TE?

[WAJ] It is very inefficient. We have explained this point several times 
before-----the operator must appoint the identification of remoted devices for 
each stub link.

For the use case in A.2, anycast prefix advertisement is already handled and 
documents exist to identify a prefix as an anycast address. 

[WAJ] The motivation of use case in A.2 is not for advertising the anycast 
prefix, but for the selection of optimal path to the anycast server.----“It 
will be help for the router R0, to know the attributes of the stub links and 
select the optimal Anycast server to serve the customer's application”

 

For the use case in A.3, I don’t even understand how it works or what is 
supposed to happen between BGP and the IGPs? What is different about this from 
normal BGP route recursion over the IGP route? For this, the fact that it is a 
stub link is irrelevant. 

[WAJ] There are multiple routes(include the stub links among the AS) between 
the BGP neighbors(R10 and R20). They can select the optimal ones to install 
into their RIB/FIB, to reach each other, after considering on the 
characteristics of the stub link.

 

Thanks,

Acee
