Re: [CCAMP] WG Last Call on draft-ietf-ccamp-lsp-diversity-03

Zafar,

The conclusion of the long discussion was that your claims, repeated in your email below, regarding the path key draft were simply incorrect.

Yours Irrespectively,

John

Hi Fatai, John-

We had a long discussion and agreement that draft-zhang-ccamp-route-exclusion-pathkey-00<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-zhang-ccamp-route-exclusion-pathkey-00> requires a PCE that needs to keep state of ALL LSPs it has served (as long as they exists in the network). There is also a scaling issue as it limits number of LSPs PCE can serve. So calling it is "simple" is NOT a correct statement. You solution requires a path-stateful PCE.

Also to note from last IETF meeting minutes: http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/88/minutes/minutes-88-ccamp
Lou Berger: "PCE: operating without the PCE is still in the scope of this WG." Our solution is without the use of PCE (signaling based).

Thanks

Regards … Zafar

Hi Deborah and all，

I think you might have noticed that there is another draft (http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-zhang-ccamp-route-exclusion-pathkey-00), which describe a simple solution to address the same requirement as draft-ietf-ccamp-lsp-diversity and there were lots of discussion on the both drafts in the WG list.

In my understanding from the WG discussion, I think many people prefer draft-zhang because it is more straightforward and simple.

The authors of draft-zhang tried to contact the authors of draft-ietf-ccamp-lsp-diversity to discuss how to move forward these drafts, but nothing happened.

Therefore, the guidance from the WG chairs on how to move forward the both drafts (e.g, pick up one of them to go or any other suggestions) would be appreciated.




Best Regards

Fatai
