Re: [Bier] [BIER] New draft - ISIS Extensions for BIER in Non MPLS Networks // Fwd: New Version Notification for draft-dhanaraj-bier-isis-non-mpls-extensions-00.txt

Hi Senthil,

I see that the posted draft is very different from a preview copy that we discussed, and the concept is the same as in section 3 and 4 of https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-zzhang-bier-rift-00. An informational reference should be added.

Two questions/comments:


   Processing and forwarding of multicast packets using the BIER-ETH

   encapsulation requires special software and hardware capabilities.

   The BFRs supporting this encapsulation type MUST advertise this

   capability (along with the other required parameters specific to the

   encapsulation) to the other routers in BIER domain.

If static BIFT-ID assignment is used as in https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-bier-non-mpls-bift-encoding-01, should we still advertise a BIER Info sub-TLV with Ethernet Encap sub-sub-TLV, perhaps with MaxSI and starting BIFT-ID all being 0? This is also a question for the authors of that draft.

   A BIER sub-domain MAY support multiple BIER encapsulation types like
   BIER-MPLS, BIER-ETH.  Within a BIER sub-domain, it is very well
   possible and allowable to share the same BFR-id for a BFR across
   different encapsulation types.  If the operator wishes to use
   different BFR-id for different encapsulation types, then he MUST
   provision different BIER sub-domain for each encapsulation type.

What’s the relevance/significance of the above text?

Additionally, do we expect/require interoperation of two encap types? I do believe it is reasonable for the two to work together, especially in that with signaled BIFT-IDs there is really no difference between the two. Perhaps some text can be added about that.

Instead of creating a parallel OSPF document, I think the document should just be expanded to cover OSPF as well.

Abstract:
   Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) [RFC8279] is an architecture
   that provides multicast forwarding through a "BIER domain" without
   requiring intermediate routers to maintain multicast related per-flow
   state.  BIER can be supported in MPLS and non-MPLS networks.  The
   common BIER header format and encapsulation for MPLS and non-MPLS
   networks is specified in [RFC8296].

   BIER in Ethernet encapsulation is an example of BIER encapsulation in
   non-MPLS networks.

   [RFC8401] specifies the required extensions to the IS-IS [RFC1195]
   protocol for the distribution of BIER sub-domain information
   including the Sub-sub-TLV required to support BIER in MPLS
   encapsulation for MPLS networks.

   This document specifies the required extensions to the IS-IS
   [RFC1195] protocol for supporting BIER in non-MPLS networks using
   BIER in Ethernet encapsulation.
