Hi Gyan,

 

We appreciate the time and effort you have put into raising these concerns. I 
think this draft does not have the issues that you mentioned.

 

See my comments in-line. 

 

BR,

Feng

主题: [spring] Re: Call for adoption: draft-yang-spring-sid-as-source-address

 

I do not support adoption of this draft for the reasons below:

 

Major issues with the draft below:

 

1st major issue with this subject draft is it proposes using the source IP of 
SRv6 tunnel to use  the service sid  endpoint behavior which is part of IP VPN 
VRF.  That technically won’t work as just as the loopback IGP best path 
selection lowest metric tie breaker next hop must be in the global table so 
does the source IP for the tunnel must be in the global table.  

 

[fyang] We would like to gently point out that the draft does not modify any 
control‑plane protocol, and the source address is not used for routing 
decisions. In fact, if people try a very simple test that SRv6 tunnel source 
address does not in global table, and that works fine. So we believe there is 
no requirement for the source address to be in the global table.

 

2nd major issue with this draft is that there is only one source address you 
can set for the SRv6 tunnel.  

 

[fyang] Single source address is the current implementation model. This is 
unnecessary restriction. We would respectfully note that the why not move 
beyond this.

 

3rd major issue is how would that work if you have many endpoint behaviors per 
vrf or CE Sid allocation that many Sid addresses in different vrf which would 
you even pick. 

 

[fyang] Selection among multiple sid can be found in the subject draft section 
2. And this has been presented in spring WG meeting.

 

4th major issue that the SRv6 tunnel carries all the IP VPN  VRFs and not just 
the single VRF service Sid endpoint behavior that you decide to set the source 
address per this draft.

 

[fyang] We never propose to use same VRF sid for multipole VRF. While an SR 
Policy or tunnel may carry traffic from multiple VRFs, each packet is 
encapsulated independently:

*       Packets belonging to VRF-A use VRF-A's SID as the SA.
*       Packets belonging to VRF-B use VRF-B's SID as the SA.

 

Kind Regards 

 

Gyan

Hi,

 

I have read the draft and support the adoption. It is a well written and useful 
document. 

 

It provides a solution to data plane consistency and symmetry for ICMP. 

 

While the draft is not explicitly discussing it - it also actually solves the 
problem with BGP NEXT_HOP being accidentally different from Service SIDs 
creating all sources of bgp related issues. 

 

The service SID used as source can be in the same time advertised in BGP 
protocol NEXT_HOP via proper use of existing update-source knob. 

 

Kind regards,

Robert
