Mustapha, I think Shraddha is pointing about the paragraph “When providing best-effort connectivity…” where it specifically talks about fallback to best-effort and if so, perform the resolvability check on the service-SID. Going by what you are saying that its general behavior of SRv6 policy, there is no need to over specify that it SHOULD check for resolvability and need for SRH.

Be cautious of content] Hi Shraddha, An implementation can allow any fallback strategy, including multiple levels of fallback, but the backup path you are describing is simply the general behavior of a SRv6 policy. The End SID is part of the SRv6 policy segment list and is the top SID. So, the service SID will indeed be pushed into a SRH and the End SID is looked up by the ingress PE to forward the packet. It does not matter if the End SID is from base topology of from a flex-algo topology. Regards, Mustapha.

The way current text is written, it implies service SID is always in the destination address. And hence service SID should be resolvable. This is not the case when a service SID Corresponding to flex-algo wants to fallback on best effort services. The destination address cannot carry Service SID for fallback cases and hence it need not be resolved. I suggest that the authors add below text in bold to the draft. “When providing best-effort connectivity or flex-algo connectivity to the egress PE, the ingress PE encapsulates the payload in an outer IPv6 header where the destination address is the SRv6 Service SID associated with the related BGP route update. Therefore, the ingress PE SHOULD perform resolvability check for the SRv6 Service SID before considering the received prefix for the BGP best path computation. “ “In some cases a service prefix intending to use flex-algo paths may want fallback on best effort paths when a flex-algo path isn’t available. The fallback behavior SHOULD be governed by local policies. The destination address SHOULD contain the best-effort locator based END SID of the egress PE and the SRH SHOULD contain the service SID. Service SID resolvability SHOULD NOT be checked on the ingress for this case.” Rgds Shraddha Juniper Business Use Only From: Robert Raszuk <rob...@raszuk.net<mailto:rob...@raszuk.net>> Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2021 12:04 PM To: Shraddha Hegde <shrad...@juniper.net<mailto:shrad...@juniper.net>> Cc: spring@ietf.org<mailto:spring@ietf.org>; b...@ietf.org<mailto:b...@ietf.org> Subject: Re: SRv6 BGP based Overlay Services (draft-ietf-bess-srv6-services-07) [External Email.

It is the local operator's choice (not the draft authors) to decide to fall back to best effort or to drop. Thx, R.

My question is about draft-ietf-bess-srv6-services and applies only to SRv6. Let me repeat the question. Do the authors intend to support the case of fallback from SRv6 flex-algo to SRv6 best effort transport for SRv6 Services or not? From your vague answer it appears that authors don’t intend to support any form of tunnelling for SRv6 because it is not optimal. Is that the right read?

Be cautious of content] Shraddha, In an SR network fallback to best effort will also result in encapsulated forwarding using SR. It may not be as optimal service wise as using flex-algo, but this is form of tunneling. Hence I don't think your comment applies. Note that operator may also choose to use IP tunneling for best effort forwarding if SR best effort forwarding is not supported or enabled. Best, R.

It is not possible to support fallback on best effort tunnels if flex-algo SRv6 service SIDs have to be resolved. It is possible to support fallback to best effort in SRv6 if packets can be tunneled to egress PE (destination address being PE’s best effort END SID and service SID in the SRH)and then do a service SID lookup on egress, in which case there is no need to resolve the SRv6 service SIDs on the ingress. It is not clear whether the authors intend to support these kind of tunnelling to egress cases for Best effort and flex-algo transport. If it not going to be supported, pls add text indicating clearly Tunnelling is not required to be supported and hence Fallback to best effort is also not supported. If that is not the intention, Its reasonable to update the text to indicate SRv6 service SIDs need not be resolved If the ingress is tunneling the packet.

Be cautious of content] Hi All, As per this draft, this is how resolution must work. 1)For Non Intent service Route: if BGP next hop is not reachable return. Resolve SRv6 Service SID for forwarding. 2)For Intent service Route (IGP Flex-Algo first then BGP CAR then SR Policy): BGP next hop is not reachable return. Resolve SRv6 Service SID for forwarding(To find IGP flex algo).if successfully resolves then return. Resolve BGP next hop for forwarding (in case above is not success). Using Service SID (overlay),for resolution is definitely not recommended. Instead in case of srv6, we always resolve on BGP nexthop. This will be in line with BGP legacy. In case of best effort/flex algo we must mandate user to set corresponding locator as BGP nexthop for srv6 routes. I think this is a reasonable mandate. Thanks Rajesh Juniper Business Use Only
