Hi Gyan,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this document.

I agree with you that in this document the semantics of the existing SR SIDs 
(the topological SIDs in your text) are extended to “topology/function + 
resource”, thus the forwarding behavior of the resource-aware SIDs will be a 
little bit different from the normal SID. While the encoding of the SR SIDs are 
still unchanged. This may be a subtle change/update to SR, while it would be 
good if this could be reflected by the document type.

As for the control plane mechanisms to advertise the resource-aware SIDs and 
their associated resource attributes, there can be either solutions which reuse 
existing protocol mechanisms, or protocol extensions may be introduced for the 
enhancements of capability for some scenarios. That has been discussed in TEAS 
and the corresponding control protocol WGs, and hopefully that discussion will 
continue there.

Hope this helps to align our understanding on this document.

Best regards,
Jie

Hi Jie

I understand the draft proposes an extension to existing topological SIDs to 
carry the resource attributes.

However since this draft proposes a new resource attributes extension encoding 
to existing topological SIDs I agree this should be standards track.

Since the topological segments are advertised by IGP OSPF or ISIS, I am 
guessing you would have a standards track draft in LSR that encodes the 
resource segments and could update the existing SR-MPLS and SRv6, OSPF and ISIS 
RFCs / drafts.

You could possibly mention the proposed encoding scheme and fields and that 
detail would be integrated into the IGP draft.

Another option would be to introduce new resource aware SIDs that is NRP 
centric  that would be applicable to both  SR-MPLS and SRv6 but would be 
independent of topological or service SID so not at that layer.  The resource 
SID would be associated with the BSID that binds the single or multiple 
candidate path to the forwarding plane and instantiates the path.  So for 
SR-MPLS it would be the entire label stack pushed onto the packet when the BSID 
is popped.  For SRv6 it would be SRH segment list associated with the candidate 
paths.

In this option you would have a standards track draft in LSR that encodes the 
resource segments and could update the existing SR-MPLS and SRv6, OSPF and ISIS 
RFCs / drafts.

The contents of the resource SID would now apply to the NRP and would be as you 
described, buffers, queues, bandwidth, SLO and SLE  parameters such as latency 
and jitter for NRP network slice.

Kind Regards

Hi Sasha,

Thanks for the review and comment on this document.

Although this draft does not introduce new SR segment type/SRv6 behavior, there 
is change in the semantics and forwarding behavior of the resource-aware 
segments, as each resource-aware SIDs identifies a subset of the network 
resources used for packet processing.

Thus the authors consider this document belong to standard track. That said, 
the usage of IETF keywords in current version needs to be revisited and 
adjusted if needed.

Of course we would like to hear the opinions from the WG participants, and 
follow the decision of the WG.

Best regards,
Jie

Subject: [spring] Intended status of draft-ietf-spring-resource-aware-segments

Hello,
I have read the 
draft<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-spring-resource-aware-segments-08>,
  and I do not have any technical comments on it.
At the same time, I wonder why its intended status appears as “Standard Track”:
1.  The draft does not define any new mechanisms in the data plane or control 
plane
2.  Usage of the IETF keywords denoting requirement levels looks too 
vague/generic to me, e.g.
a.  The details of the underlay network MUST NOT be exposed to third parties, 
to prevent attacks aimed at exploiting shared network resources
b.  If there are related link advertisements, then consistency MUST be assured 
across that set of advertisements

IMHO and FWIW the draft describes how resource-aware forwarding can be achieved 
using various already-defined SR mechanisms.

Have the authors and/or the WG considered changing the intended status of the 
draft to “Informational”?

Regards,
Sasha
