Re: [bess] Poll for early allocation request for draft-ietf-bess-mvpn-evpn-aggregation-label

[Xiejingrong <[e-mail]>]

Objection.

I remember I have raised my concerns, but I didn't find the response.

Copy the concerns I have listed before:
1.      The problem stated by this draft is valid, and the proposed method is useful for some of the listed problem. For example, EVPN BUM who uses MPLS identification and dataplane.
2.      EVPN BUM using vxlan/vni identification may not need a MPLS label to identify the vpn/tenant.
3.      For MVPN who has a UMH(Upstream Multicast Hop) selection procedure, the exist using of upstream-assigned VpnLabel can be optimized to only populate to forwarding-state when there are c-multicast flows selecting the specific UMH PE.
4.      For an End-to-End deployment of MVPN who spans multi-ASes as the way stated in <draft-geng-bier-sr-multicast-deployment>, the allocation of a global-unique label is useful and possible. But operators may need to be very careful to allocate the very limited MPLS labels. Because, MPLS labels has been divided to SRLB and SRGB, and SRGB may have been again divided by SR-domains according to <draft-filsfils-spring-large-scale-interconnect-12>.
5.      For segmented MVPN deployment, the further divide of the MPLS Label is also difficult when thinking of the above.
6.      For BIER, is the BIER proto=1 indicating a BIER-specific unique VpnLabel ? or a Per-platform (RFC5331) downstream-assigned unique label ?  if it is the later one, how about adding a new BIER proto value to indicating a BIER-specific unique VpnLabel ?  And then a static Context (BIER) can be optional to the dynamic advertising of a Context ?
