[Detnet] Re: New Version Notification for draft-varga-detnet-srv6-data-plane-03.txt

Hi Bala'zs,

Thanks for sharing this document.

After reading the document, I still have quesitons about the setting of flow-id and don't understand how it works.

There is some text in the document as below:
"
Flow-IDs MUST be allocated by the entity that controls the service sub-layer receiving node's Flow-ID space.  Because Flow-IDs are local to each node rather than being a global identifier within a domain, they MUST be advertised to their upstream DetNet service-aware peer nodes (i.e., a DetNet SRv6 End System or a DetNet Relay or Edge Node).
"

My quesiton is: why is flow-id designed to be local rather than global? Seems it brings unnecessary complex about flow-id advertisement, inconsistency of identifying the same APP flow.

Can you give some illustrations on how to set flow-id based on the example topology (fig 3 of draft-ietf-spring-sr-redundancy-protection-05) ? 

Regards,
PSF

Hi,
 
Changes in the new version of the "Deterministic Networking SRv6 Data Plane" draft
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-varga-detnet-srv6-data-plane/
was made in order to be fully in-line with the Spring WG Redundancy Protection draft
 
The technical contents of the draft is quite stable, thanks for all the feedbacks during
its discussions.
 
Please, provide your review if you have any questions/comments/possible improvements.
Supportive feedbacks are also welcome.
 
Thanks & Cheers
Bala'zs

Abstract:
 
   This document specifies the Deterministic Networking (DetNet) data
   plane when operating over an IPv6/SRv6 Packet Switched Network.  It
   leverages existing IPv6 encapsulations and behaviors.  It uses the
   Redundancy SIDs in DetNet scenarios and optionally the Traffic
   Engineering mechanisms provided by SRv6.  This document builds on the
   DetNet architecture and data plane framework.
