Hi,
Please see inline (MSD section). Hope this clarifies, thanks! Cheers, Jeff [jeff] both IGP drafts have identical description of the BMI-MSD: “Base MPLS Imposition MSD (BMI-MSD) signals the total number of MPLS labels a node is capable of imposing, including all service/transport/special labels.” PCEP draft supports only a subset of overall MSD functionality and in general it is expected that this info would come from IGPs(BGP-LS). However the functoriality provided by PCEP is inline with the BMI-MSD definition in the IGP drafts, at the node granularity only though. 3. Section 5 introduces the MSD concept. I wonder whether this concept is aligned with the MSD concept as defined in the PCEP-SR draft or the MSD concept as defined in the IGP-MSD draft. In PCEP-SR draft, it said " The "Maximum SID Depth" (1 octet) field (MSD) specifies the maximum number of SIDs (MPLS label stack depth in the context of this document) that a PCC is capable of imposing on a packet. In the IGP-MSD draft, it said " MSD of type 1 (IANA Registry), called Base MSD is used to signal the total number of SIDs a node is capable of imposing, to be used by a path computation element/controller. " If I understand it correctly, the MSD in this draft==the MSD in PCEP-SR draft==the Base MSD (i.e., the MSD of type 1), No? [SLI] Today, the two IGP drafts does not seem to agree on the definition ISIS says:” Base MPLS Imposition MSD (BMI-MSD) signals the total number of MPLS labels a node is capable of imposing, including all service/transport/special labels.” OSPF says:” MSD of type 1 (IANA Registry) is used to signal the number of SIDs a node is capable of imposing, to be used by a path computation element/controller and is only relevant to the part of the stack created as the result of the computation.” MSD is just MSD is defines a maximum number of labels to be pushed. This is the definition we use and it is compliant with the one used in PCEP-SR: “The "Maximum SID Depth" (1 octet) field (MSD) specifies the maximum number of SIDs (MPLS label stack depth in context of this document) that a PCC is capable of imposing on a packet.” As we also say: “This includes any kind of labels (service, entropy, transport...).”, we are compliant with the BMI-MSD defined in IS-IS.
