Jordi,

Your draft describes two aspects of the service performance impacted by the=
 Computing: Service Deployment and  Service (Path) Selection. Those two sho=
uld be separated, as the Service Deployment belongs to the OpsArea, and the=
 Service selection (including Network Path & DCs that host the services) be=
longs to the Routing area.

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-idr-5g-edge-service-metadata/ h=
as proposed a new Metadata Path Attribute and some Sub-TLVs  for egress rou=
ters to advertise the Metadata about the attached edge  services (ES).  The=
 Edge Service Metadata can be used by the ingress routers in the 5G Local D=
ata Network to make path selections not only based on the routing cost but =
also the running environment of the edge services.  The goal is to improve =
latency and performance for 5G  edge services.


Can this Metadata Path Attribute address the problem stated in your draft? =
 I CC'ed the IDR WG, so your comments on the Path Selection can be visible =
to them.

Thanks, Linda

Subject: [Cats] New draft on joint exposure of network and compute informat=
ion

Dear CATS and ALTO WG mailing list members,

We submitted a new draft on joint exposure of network and compute informati=
on for service placement and selection: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/dr=
aft-rcr-opsawg-operational-compute-metrics/


Joint Exposure of Network and Compute Information for Infrastructure-Aware =
Service DeploymentJoint Exposure of Network and Compute Information for Inf=
rastructure-Aware Service Deployment
This draft focuses on the problem of exposing both network and compute info=
rmation to the service provider/application to support service placement an=
d selection decisions. ALTO provides an interface for network information e=
xposure to the service provider/application; thus, an approach is to levera=
ge and extend it with compute metrics. CATS also needs to develop compute m=
etrics to support traffic steering decisions. The common ground is in these=
 compute metrics, which could be reused across the various use cases (e.g.,=
 consumed by the network as in CATS or consumed by the application as in AL=
TO).

This draft also aims at providing a framework for continuing the discussion=
 initiated during IETF 117 regarding the presentation "Compute-aware metric=
s: CATS working with ALTO": https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/slides-117-alt=
o-compute-aware-metrics-cats-working-with-alto/

We would like to seek feedback from both working groups on developing compu=
te metrics that can be reused for different use cases, to avoid duplicated =
work and increase the effectiveness of future standards.

Thanks,
Jordi

tf-idr-5g-edge-service-metadata/">https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ie=
tf-idr-5g-edge-service-metadata/</a> has proposed a new Metadata Path Attri=
bute and some Sub-TLVs&nbsp; for egress routers
 to advertise the Metadata about the attached edge&nbsp; services (ES).&nbs=
p; The Edge Service Metadata can be used by the ingress routers in the 5G L=
ocal Data Network to
<span style=3D"background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">make path selections=
 not only based on the routing cost but also the running environment of the=
 edge services.&nbsp; The goal is to improve latency and performance for 5G=
 &nbsp;edge services.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

sing both network and compute information to the service provider/applicati=
on to support service placement and selection
 decisions. ALTO provides an interface for network information exposure to =
the service provider/application; thus, an approach is to leverage and exte=
nd it with compute metrics. CATS also needs to develop compute metrics to s=
upport traffic steering decisions.
 The common ground is in these compute metrics, which could be reused acros=
s the various use cases (e.g., consumed by the network as in CATS or consum=
ed by the application as in ALTO).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
