draft-hu-spring-segment-routing-proxy-forwarding

WG,

I  don’t support the adoption of this document as a WG document.

I am in agreement with stephane’s comments on the list.


  1.  May cause congestion somewhere else in the network
There is already WG adopted document that is addressing the problem space
draft-ietf-spring-segment-protection-sr-te-paths.
This draft does not provide significant advantages over the proposed solutions 
in
draft-ietf-spring-segment-protection-sr-te-paths.
draft-hu-spring-segment-routing-proxy-forwarding claims to provide better 
solution when all nodes
have not been upgraded. draft-hu-spring-segment-routing-proxy-forwarding 
introduces protocol extensions
and the nodes that aren’t upgraded to understand the extensions will drop the 
traffic so there isn’t
any significant improvement in the approach.

In fact, the approach described in 
draft-hu-spring-segment-routing-proxy-forwarding may
cause other issues such as bandwidth double booking since it proposes that  any 
neighbor that
claims proxy forwarding will be used to forward the protected traffic.

For ex:

[cid:image001.jpg@01D8144D.30DC4950]

In above diagram
SR-TE path is RT1->RT3->RT7->RT5
Only RT4 supports proxy-forwarding
On failure of RT3, RT1 would send traffic to RT4 via RT1->RT6->RT7-RT4
RT4 will then send to RT7 as per the SR-TE path
RT7 will then send to RT5 via RT7->RT4->RT5

In this example, same traffic is traversing the RT7->RT4 link 3 times.

Operationally this solution is very complex to manage. A network that starts 
with no segment protection,
It may be ok to drop the traffic if some nodes have not been upgraded but 
causing congestion
somewhere else would be difficult to debug.
------》[HZB] Traffic detour may exist in all local FRR mechanisms and is not 
unique to this solution, including TI-LFA.SR-TE Path protection etc,
<SH> The problem I am indicating is not traffic detour, it is about bandwidth 
double booking on interfaces.

              The solution described in 
[draft-ietf-spring-segment-protection-sr-te-paths] also has this problem.for 
example you have mentioned,
If using the solution of [ draft-ietf-spring-segment-protection-sr-te-paths], 
On failure of RT3, If the last calculated reachable path to RT3 is 
RT1->RT6->RT7->RT4->RT3,

RT1 maintains the path of RT1->RT6->RT7->RT4->RT3 for forwarding during the 
Holdtimer period. Then, RT4 performs Proxy Forwarding and 
RT1->RT6->RT7->RT4->RT7->RT4->RT5. It also traverses the link 3 times from RT7 
to RT4.
I think extending the protocol is a much simpler way than slow route deletion 
and loop solving.

<SH> This is incorrect example. Here the traffic is sent twice on RT7->RT4 
interface twice even before the failure.
           This is problem with how SR-TE calculated the path and not a problem 
with procedures described in
            draft-ietf-spring-segment-protection-sr-te-paths
------》[HZB2]  draft-ietf-spring-segment-protection-sr-te-paths mentioned:
If the Node-SID or Prefix-SID becomes
   unreachable, the event and resulting forwarding changes should not
   communicated to the forwarding planes on all configured routers
   (including PLRs for the failed node) until the hold-timer expires.
   The traffic will continue to follow the previous path and get FRR
   protection on the PLR.
         On failure of RT3,RT1 detects the Link RT3-RT2, Link RT3-RT6 and Link 
RT3-RT7 failure first. RT1`s  shorest Path to RT3 is RT1->RT6->RT7->RT4->RT3, 
And then RT1 detects the Link RT3-RT4 failure.  The Node-Sid of RT3 become 
unreachable.
         RT1 will keep the previous path RT1->RT6->RT7->RT4->RT3. Packets are 
forwarded to RT4 for PLR, RT4 will send next segment RT7,RT7 will then send to 
RT5 via RT7->RT4->RT5.
The path described in this case is exactly the same as the forwarding path 
described in your example(In both cases, RT4 is selected as the PLR, and the 
results are the same.) I don't know why you think one is 3 times and   the 
other is 2 times. So, for draft-ietf-spring-segment-protection-sr-te-paths,Even 
if all nodes support this draft, it is possible that traversing the RT7->RT4 
link 3 times. You actually gave an example of reacting 
[draft-ietf-spring-segment-protection-sr-te-paths] disadvantages.

<SH> What you are describing in above text is a case when the link down events 
are reaching RT1 in a particular
           Order and one particular link down event is reaching very late on 
all the nodes on the path which is a corner case. There are already existing 
solutions such as spf-delay that can ensure most correlated events are clubbed 
together in one SPF. The local computations on RT1 can also be optimized to 
detect node down events and the previous paths to hold down.
What you claim about fully upgraded network is not correct in this particular  
example is not true.
When all the nodes are supporting context tables, RT6 will make sure to lookup 
next label and send to RT7.

I don’t see any strong justification how proxy forwarding is improving the 
situation of partially upgraded network
which it claims to be doing.





  1.  BSID solution
draft-ietf-spring-segment-protection-sr-te-paths does not explicitly discuss 
the solution for BSIDs.
Most of the BSID deployments use anycast based solution where same BSID is 
assigned on anycast nodes and BSID is always preceded by the anycast SID. 
Section 2.2 in draft-ietf-spring-segment-protection-sr-te-paths discusses this 
approach.
             draft-hu-spring-segment-routing-proxy-forwarding  provides a 
protection solution for BSIDs when anycast is not in use.

 If WG is inclined to solve the BSID protection problem when anycast solution 
is not in use, I would prefer the
              Approach to be more aligned with 
draft-ietf-spring-segment-protection-sr-te-paths. I do not support Introducing 
completely   different solution based on proxy forwarding which has other 
implications described in point 1.
------》[HZB]I don`t think that most of the BSID deployments use anycast based 
solution,Strict path control is required in most scenarios, and anycast is not 
introduced.
                 If Bsid is not addressed, it will not be a complete protection 
solution.

Rgds
Shraddha

Dear WG,

This message starts a 2 week WG adoption call, ending 27/01/2022, for 
draft-hu-spring-segment-routing-proxy-forwarding
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-hu-spring-segment-routing-proxy-forwarding/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-hu-spring-segment-routing-proxy-forwarding/__;!!NEt6yMaO-gk!TWaV4x51MCL2h93fiW-3XI8ElTsP963AWA5gjKCMU6g9E1WN0cRkqV6D5Qi50WbR$>

After review of the document please indicate support (or not) for WG adoption 
of the document to the mailing list.

Please also provide comments/reasons for your support (or lack thereof) as this 
is a stronger way to indicate your (non) support as this is not a vote.

If you are willing to work on or review the document, please state this 
explicitly. This gives the chairs an indication of the energy level of people 
in the working group willing to work on the document.

Thanks!
Bruno, Jim, Joel
