Hi Shaofu,


        


The resource in this document refers to the data plane resource used for packet 
processing. This aligns with the resource reservation concept in TEAS. This has 
been clarified in the draft.


 


With SR architecture, SIDs can be used to represent any instructions, thus 
using SID to identify a set of network resource complies with the SR 
architecture. However, the segments as defined in RFC 8402 and other documents 
before this draft did not cover this useful semantic. Thus IMO this needs to be 
specified explicitly under the SR architecture first, so that further work 
based on resource-aware SIDs can be done in relevant WGs.


 


 [PSF] I don’t know if this is the view of you or that of most people. I 
provided the concerns in last mail that there are already resource related SIDs 
allocation. You can question that the existing mechanism of resource related 
SID allocation maybe not enough, and need complement more scenarios and 
solutions. That is OK. But even there are only 10% scenarios that the existing 
mechanism of resource related SID allocation can cover, and 90% scenarios need 
to be improved by you, you can't change the fact that resource semantic already 
exists. Otherwise, it is hard to explain why an SR-TE path with specific 
resource reserved and specific resource related SIDs can be created to replace 
a traditional RSVP-TE LSP, without the guidance of this document.

Thus, what is missing is not this resource-awareness concept, but more 
mechanisms to address more scenarios. AFAIK, The existing mechanism mainly 
focuses on coarse-grained resource partition, if you can further introduce 
mechanisms to describe how to do fine-grained resource partitioning, for 
example, let the queue policy within the node be more than a local matter, etc, 
that would be very comforting, and I think that would be dry goods.






  


 


Thanks,


Fengwei Qin

Hi zhenqiang,

 

Resource is a big, all encompassing concept. Similarly, service concept, 
application concept, intent concept, etc, you can find more.

IMO, we can't ignore the fact that the current SR architecture already cover 
resource related SID allocation, but to surmise that it lacks resource meaning, 
then to submit an unnecessary and redundant framework.

 

AFAIK, there have already been several documents that defined the allocation of 
SID for specific resouce, for example:

draft-ietf-lsr-flex-algo described topology related resource partition and 
algorithm based SID allocation,

L2-bundles(rfc8668) described the allocation of member adjacency SIDs for 
subdivided link resources

draft-peng-teas-network-slicing described slice related resource partition and 
corresponding SID allocation.

All of these solutions follow the existing SR architecture. Thus it is not the 
truth that we all think that the existing SR architecture does not cover 
allocating resource-awareness SID and explicitly resource capability or 
semantic need to be defined.

I believe there will be more SR based solution in the future. For simplicity 
and refinement, we can not paint the lily to change the existing architecture 
at will, ignoring the fact that it can work and perfect support for every 
solutions. Otherwise, for some purpose, someone can also persist that the SR 
architecture lacks service meanning, application meaning, intent meanning, etc, 
then more and more unnecessary X-awareness framework appear.

 

So let us focus on specific solutions, i.e, just like what is done in flex-algo 
or other documents, detailed control extension and forwarding mechanism for 
virtual network (yes ,you can say this doc is not only for virtual network, but 
this is exactly what makes me confused. It is not clear for other purpose) . A 
new X-awareness framework is really unnecessary, except for standard strategy.

PSF

Hi Ran,


 


Thank you very much for your interests in and comments on this draft.


 


Yes, you are right that SR architecture supports resource related SIDs. So we 
can specify the resource related framework under SR architecture.  This is the 
main purpose of this doc. RFC8402 supports resource related SIDs, but doesn't  
define them, which are defined in this doc.


 


However, I am afraid I can not agree with you that this doc is mainly to manage 
and maintain virtual network resources.  The concept and mechanism of 
resource-awareness SID is introduced in this doc to enrich the semantics of SR 
SID and to enhance the SR architecture. Thanks to its flexibility and 
extensibility.


Resource related SIDs introduced in this doc can be used to construct virtual 
networks, resource isolated pathes, dedicated queques in one node and so on, 
which depends on the application scenarios. 


 


Since this draft belongs to SPRING WG, IMO it is correct that it focuses the 
semantics and functions associated with SR SIDs. The identifier and mechanisms 
in control plane could be discussed in the corresponding protocol WGs as next 
step. Please pay attention to our related work in the protocol WGs and you are 
welcome to present your comments there... Thanks alot.


 


Best regards,


Zhenqiang Li

Hi Jie,


IMO, the essence of the problem is that an identifier should be introduced to 
manage and maintain virtual network resources,  not whether it is necessary to 
allocate resource related SIDs , because the current SR architecture already 
supports resource related SIDs allocation, there is no limit to that. For 
example, service SID (compuated resource related), Node/Adjacency 
SID(topological resource related), etc. Especially, SRv6 SID encourages 
programming anything. Can we say that these SIDs have no resource meaning?


Thus, draft-dong-spring-sr-for-enhanced-vpn does not introduce any new content 
on the existing SR architecture.


 


For identifier to manage and maintain virtual network resources, 
draft-peng-teas-network-slicing firstly to introduce a new identifier (AII) in 
the network to unifiedly identify the topology, computing and storage resource. 
Before that, other existing identities only focus on topology resources.

 


Just for topology related resource, Segment Routing with MTR/Flex-algo/AII all 
support the division of multiple topological resource, and already support 
allocatoin of SID per MT-ID/algorithm/AII. Especially for link resource, the 
bandwidth of the same link can be subdivided into multiple resources. 


If these subdivided resources exist in the form of sub-interface resources, 
L2-bundles(rfc8668) provides the method to assign adjacency-SID for members, In 
other words, the allocation of member adjacency SID has already been aware of 
these subdivided resources, each sub-interface has its own link attributes 
(bandwidth, delay, etc.). 


If there are no sub-interface, the link can also be shared by multiple virtual 
networks to allocate multiple adjacency SIDs. Under the existing SR 
architecture, draft-peng-teas-network-slicing and 
draft-peng-lsr-algorithm-related-adjacency-sid have already described the 
allocation of adjacency SID per AII and algorithm.

 


Obviously, the above SR with MTR/Flex-algo/AII are all complete solutions, 
including control plane extensions and forwarding mechanisms, and they need not 
make any changes to the SR architecture.


I wonder according to draft-dong-spring-sr-for-enhanced-vpn, what can we do 
under its guidance, or what we can't do without this draft? 


 


Regards,


Ran

主 题 :RE: [spring] WG Adoption Callfordraft-dong-spring-sr-for-enhanced-vpn




Hi Ran,


 


Thanks for your comments. While I don’t quite get your point of objection.  
Perhaps you have some misunderstanding about the relationship of the drafts 
mentioned.


 


RFC 8402 introduced the topology and service semantics of SR SID, this document 
proposed to add resource semantics to SIDs. Then MT or Flex-Algo are control 
plane mechanism for the distribution of topology-specific SIDs... The 
relationship with these documents are described in this draft.


        


My reading of draft-peng in LSR and TEAS is that they may provide an option of 
control plane extensions for the resource-aware SIDs defined in this document, 
which just proves that the enhancement in this document is in the right 
direction, and more work based on it could be done in relevant WGs.


 


Thus my suggestion would be to have the SR enhancement adopted in SPRING first, 
then more discussion about its control plane could happen in other WGs as the 
next step.  


 


Hope this helps.


 


Best regards,


Jie

Dear WG,


I don't support WG adoption.


It is not a new idea for each Virtual Network to have its own SIDs.


e.g. The earlist description of the SID be allocated per flex-algorithm and 
related metric


 information was in draft-hegdeppsenak-isis-sr-flex-algo-00(2017.7.17) (now is 
draft-ietf-isis-sr-flex-algo) . 


The earlist description of the SID be allocated per MT was in 
draft-filsfils-spring-segment-routing-04(2014.7...3)


(now is RFC8402 ), and draft-peng-lsr-network-slicing-00(2019.2.25) describe the


SID be allocated per AII(alias alice).  For slice 
resources,https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-peng-teas-network-slicing-03  


induced slice-id(AII) for slice resources management, and can differentiate 
them (e.g. L2 link or L3 interface,


section 7 ), and how to compute SR-BE or SR-TE path according to AII combined 
with other criteria.


 


Regards,


Ran
