Khuzema, Hi! MELGs are useful and come into play only when: (1) The server network domain is abstracted and the advertised Virtual TE-links possess some mutual exclusivity relationship. (2) There is a Centralized path computation entity in the client domain (computes paths in terms of Client TE-links/TE-nodes) that is capable of doing concurrent path computations. If either of the above 2 statements is NOT true, there is no utility for MELGs. At the risk of being pedantic: - Are MELGs needed when the server-network domain in not abstracted (no Virtual TE links)? The answer is NO. - Are MELGs needed when you have a distributed path-computation architecture (Client PCE interacting with Server PCE)? The answer is NO. - Are MELGs needed when the centralized path-computation engine doesn't (can't) do concurrent computations? The answer is NO. The actual procedures involved in abstracting the server network domain is beyond the scope of <draft-melgs>. The abstraction procedure itself is implementation-specific (maybe someday someone would put together a draft for discussing this). Though it is true that the primary use-case we had in mind when coming up with this new construct involves a lambda-layer server network domain, there is really no restriction (at a conceptual level) on using this construct when abstracting a packet-layer server network domain or a TDM-layer server network domain. It is up to the implementation on how to make best use of this construct. When you advertise a Virtual TE-link into a client network domain, you are doing this based on the existence of some potential underlying server-path. TE attributes like SRLGs, MELGs, delay etc that get advertised for the Virtual TE-link depend on the underlying server-path that is chosen for catering to this Client TE-link. If the underlying server-path keeps changing (based on network events), these TE attributes would also keep changing. The procedure for keeping the advertised information "current" is an implementation choice. If there exists such a thing as an abstraction manager (again, this is totally implementation specific), then the assumption is that it does one of the following - (a) computes new server-paths for the Virtual TE links whenever there is a change in the network (may not be very scalable in some architectures), (b) or does periodic path-computation for each Virtual TE link, (c) or uses a policy to pin down the Virtual TE-link to a specific underlying server-path, (d) or uses a combination of (a), (b), (c). <draft-melgs> doesn't make any recommendation as to what choice the abstraction manager would need to take. Hope this helps. -Pavan On Tue, Apr 16, 2013 at 7:08 AM, Khuzema Pithewan <kpithewan@infinera.com>wrote: > Hi Igor,**** > > ** ** > > I am trying to summarize the discussion we had so far.
