Let me write down how I think explicit tracking should work, and you can tell me whether (a) it's at odds with what's in your draft, or (b) it duplicates what's in your draft, or (c) it extends what's in your draft in a useful way, or (d) it extends what's in your draft in a useless way ;-) (Perhaps this discussion really belongs on the BESS ML, but we might as well continue it here for a little while.) RFC6625 (and other RFCs or RFCs-to-be that update RFC6625) specify a set of rules for finding the S-PMSI A-D route that is the "match for reception" for a given (C-S,C-G) or (C-*,C-G) state. As draft-dolganow-l3vpn-mvpn-expl-track points out, the defintion of "match for reception" needs to be modified as follows: When finding the "match for reception" for a given (C-S,C-G) or (C-*,C-G), ignore any S-PMSI A-D route that has no PMSI Tunnel attribute (PTA), or that has a PTA specifying "no tunnel info". I'd like to propose now to introduce a new notion: the "match for tracking". This differs from the "match for reception" as follows: For a given C-flow ((C-S,C-G) or (C-*,C-G)) the "match for tracking" is chosen as follows. Ignore any S-PMSI A-D route that has no PTA, or whose PTA does not have either LIR or LIR-pF set. (In particular, DO NOT ignore an S-PMSI A-D route that has a PTA specifying "no tunnel info", but whose LIR or LIR-pF bits are set). Then apply the rules (from RFC6625 and other RFCs or RFCs-to-be that update it) for finding the "match for reception". The result (if any) is the match for tracking". For example, suppose a given PE router, PE1, has chosen PE2 as the "upstream PE" for a given (C-S1,C-G1). And suppose PE1 has installed the following two routes that were originated by PE2: Route1: A (C-*,C-*) S-PMSI A-D route, whose PTA specifies a tunnel. Route2: A (C-S1,C-G1) S-PMSI A-D route, whose PTA specifies "no tunnel info" and has LIR set. Route1 is (C-S1,C-G1)'s match for reception, and Route2 is (C-S1,C-G1)'s match for tracking. Note that if there is no installed S-PMSI A-D route for (C-S2,C-G2), then Route1 would be (C-S2,C-G2)'s match for reception and also its match for tracking. As another example, suppose PE1 has installed the following two routes that were originated by PE2: Route3: A (C-*,C-*) S-PMSI A-D route (irrespective of whether the PTA specifies a tunnel) Route4: A (C-S1,C-G1) S-PMSI A-D route whose PTA specifies a tunnel. Then Route 4 is both the "match for reception" and the "match for tracking" for (C-S1,C-G1). Note that for a particular C-flow, the PE1's match for reception might be the same route as its match for tracking, or its match for reception might be a "less specific" route than its match for tracking. But its match for reception can never be a "more specific" route than its match for tracking. Now we have a number of cases to look at: 1. PE1's match for tracking the is same as its match for reception, but neither LIR nor LIR-pF flags are on. In this case, there is no explicit tracking for the C-flow. The match for reception is processed according to existing procedures. 2. PE1's match for tracking is the same as its match for reception, LIR is set, LIR-pF is not set. In this case, existing procedures are followed. 3. PE1's match for tracking is the same as its match for reception, and LIR-pF is set. This case is discussed in a previous message. 4. PE1's match for tracking is not the same as its match for reception. This can only happen if the match for tracking has a PTA specifying "no tunnel info", with either LIR or LIR-pF set. In this case, PE1 must respond both to the match for tracking and to the match for reception. To respond to the match for tracking, PE1 originates one or more Leaf A-D routes; the PTA of each such route will specify "no tunnel info". Construction of the NLRI of the Leaf A-D route is as specified in RFC6514 (if LIR is set) or as specified in the referenced message on the BIER mailing list (if LIR-pF) is set. To respond to the match for reception, existing procedures are used. Note that if LIR or LIR-pF are set in the PTA of the match for reception, PE1 may need to originate a Leaf A-D route corresponding to the match for tracking as well as originating a Leaf A-D route corresponding to the match for reception. I think the above procedures work at an egress PE, but they are not quite right for an egress ABR/ASBR. An egress ABR/ASBR does forward along any S-PMSI A-D routes it gets. If the PTA of the received S-PMSI A-D route specifies a tunnel, the egress ABR/ASBR may change the PTA to specify a different tunnel type. However, we should require that if the PTA specifies "no tunnel info", it is passed along unchanged. Then we can establish the following rule for egress ABRs/ASBRs. Suppose an egress ABR/ASBR receives an S-PMSI A-D route whose NLRI is X, and whose PTA (a) specifies "no tunnel info" and (b) has LIR set. The egress ABR/ASBR should not immediately originate a Leaf A-D route in response. Rather it should wait until it receives a Leaf A-D route whose NLRI contains X in the "route key" field. If it receives such a Leaf A-D route, it redistributes that route, but first it changes that route's RT. The "global administrator" field of the modified RT will be set to the IP address taken either from the S-PMSI A-D route's next hop field, or from its Segmented P2MP Next Hop Extended Community. This will ensure that an egress ABR/ASBR only sends a Leaf A-D route in response to a "match for tracking" if it is on the path to an egress PE for the flow(s) identified in the corresponding S-PMSI A-D route.
