Re: [Pce] FW: I-D Action: draft-ietf-pce-segment-routing-12.txt
Hi Jon, There is one issue which I would like to discuss and it came up during the EANTC multi-vendor interop in March 2018. The rule for handling MSD in Section 5.5 seems to be overly restrictive. The MSD value advertised in the Open message is useful as an upper bound for both pce-initiated LSP and pcc-initiated LSP. However, PCC may want to set a MSD value for a specific pcc-initiated LSP which is lower than that in the Open Object. The rules in Section 5.5 do not allow that as the presence of the MSD Metric object in the path request message is errored if a non-zero MSD was included in the Open message. If on the other hand you set the MSD in the Open message to zero, PCE will not discover the MSD to enforce for pce-initiated LSP. What I would like to propose is to relax the rule such that a path request is only errored when the MSD Metric value is higher than that in the Open message. That way we can achieve the desired behavior for both pce-initiated and pcc-initiated LSP. Here is the relevant paragraph in Section 5.5: " If a PCEP session is established with a non-zero MSD value, then the PCC MUST NOT send an MSD METRIC object. If the PCE receives a path computation request with an MSD METRIC object on a session with a non-zero MSD value then it MUST consider the request invalid and send a PCErr with Error-Type = 10 ("Reception of an invalid object") and Error-Value 9 ("Default MSD is specified for the PCEP session"). " Mustapha. -Original Message- From: Pce [mailto:pce-boun...@ietf.org] On Behalf Of Jonathan Hardwick Sent: Friday, June 29, 2018 1:22 PM To: pce@ietf.org Subject: [Pce] FW: I-D Action: draft-ietf-pce-segment-routing-12.txt This new version addresses the feedback received during working group last call.

In this case, the PCC is responsible for choosing the SID value, e.g., by looking up its TED using the NAI which, in this case, MUST be present in the subobject. - What is the associated procedure if the PCC cannot resolve the NAI to a SID? Should there be associated error codes. For instance the PCC may not be able to resolve the NAI at all or the resolution may fail. In case the PCC does not support the NAI resolution, having this capability part of the capability exchange would improve interop, as the PCE can be capable to provide the SID. [Jon] I agree that a capability would be good. Yes, if the NAI cannot be resolved, it should be rejected. I have added both of these to the latest draft. [/Jon] - If Both S and F are cleared, should the PCC do the NAI resolution and verify that the SID match? Would error codes be needed) [Jon] If the SID is a bare label then the NAI may be given to help identify the next hop. If the SID is an index and NAI is given as well, then the PCC SHOULD use the SID, because it is a more explicit instruction. The PCE MAY give both SID and NAI for diagnostic / logging purposes. I don’t think we should require the PCC to validate SID==NAI in that case; it should just use the SID as given. I will clarify in the draft.

Re: [Pce] WG Last Call for draft-ietf-pce-segment-routing-11
Hi Adrian Sorry for the delay. Thanks again for the carefully considered feedback. I've trimmed out points below where I agreed and no comment was necessary. Please find answers and clarifications below. --- Section 3 o An ordered set of IP address(es) representing network nodes/links: In this case, the PCC needs to convert the IP address(es) into the corresponding MPLS labels by consulting its Traffic Engineering Database (TED). But I am surprised that this work is offloaded to the PCC since the PCE has all the information to do this task. Why did the WG want to add this option? And then... o An ordered set of SID(s) s/SID(s)/SIDs/ This list of SIDs would need to be converted to labels by the PCC by applying the SRGB offsets. Again, why make the PCC do this? And finally... o An ordered set of both MPLS label(s) and IP address(es): In this case, the PCC needs to convert the IP address(es) into the corresponding SID(s) by consulting its TED. This mixture of the previous two cases seems to compound the level of complexity. Can't the PCE just know it is making an SR path and supply a list of MPLS labels corresponding to the SIDs? [Jon] Having consulted the authors, the reason is that different PCE implementations have different approaches, which can all be accommodated fairly straightforwardly in the draft's format. Having said that, it seems harsh to force the PCC into having to provide an NAI-resolution service for the PCE. Therefore, I have added a capability flag so that the PCC can indicate that it cannot / will not do NAI resolution. [/Jon] --- 5.1.2 > 6 If a PCEP speaker receives a PATH-SETUP-TYPE-CAPABILITY TLV with a PST list containing PST=1, but the SR-PCE-CAPABILITY sub-TLV is absent, then the PCEP speaker MUST send a PCErr message with Error- Type 10 (Reception of an invalid object) and Error-Value TBD1 (to be assigned by IANA) (Missing PCE-SR-CAPABILITY sub-TLV) and MUST then close the PCEP session. Suppose an implementation receives an Open with PST=1 but doesn't understand (or doesn't support) that value. Is it still required to perform this check? Hopefully not. [Jon] Nope. Have changed to If a PCEP speaker receives a PATH-SETUP-TYPE-CAPABILITY TLV with a PST list containing PST=1, and supports that path setup type, then it checks for the presence of the SR-PCE-CAPABILITY sub-TLV. If that sub-TLV is absent, then the PCEP speaker MUST send a PCErr message with Error- Type 10 (Reception of an invalid object) and Error-Value TBD1 (to be assigned by IANA) (Missing PCE-SR-CAPABILITY sub-TLV) and MUST then close the PCEP session. [/Jon] --- 5.3.1 (under Length) has As mentioned earlier, an SR-ERO subobject MUST have at least SID or NAI. This is good and does tie in with what is written in earlier sections. However, 5.3.1 starts with An SR-ERO subobject consists of a 32-bit header followed by the SID and the NAI associated with the SID. The SID is a 32-bit number. The size of the NAI depends on its respective type, as described in the following sections. That makes it sound like they are both mandatory, and the figure doesn't help. A little rewording would go a long way, and you could add "(optional)" to the figure. [Jon] I have modified the preamble to the following, and have added the word "optional" to the diagram. An SR-ERO subobject consists of a 32-bit header followed by the SID and/or the NAI associated with the SID. The SID is a 32-bit number. The size of the NAI depends on its respective type, as described in the following sections. At least one of the SID and the NAI MUST be included in the SR-ERO subobject, and both MAY be included. [/Jon] --- 5.3.1 SID Type (ST) indicates the type of information associated with the SID contained in the object body. When ST value is 0, SID MUST NOT be null and NAI MUST be null. Does "null" mean "all zeros" or "absent"? See also the definition of the S and F flags. [Jon] It means "absent" (see definition of Length field). But this is not particularly clear, so I have changed all instances of "null" to "absent". [/Jon] --- 5.3.1 Other ST values are described later in this document. It would be friendly to provide a list somewhere. Do you need a registry? [Jon] I have added a list and created a registry. [/Jon] --- 5.3.1 Flags is used to carry any additional information pertaining to SID. You need to say how to set the unused bits. Do you need a registry? [Jon] I have created a registry.
