Re: [Detnet] [spring] Comments on draft-saad-mpls-miad-usecases

  *   in my earlier comments, I've noted that the informational RFC 8596 appears not posing any requirements for enhancements in the MPLS data plane. If I am missing something, please let me know.
Hi Greg,

The RFC is mentioned because it shows that SFC NSH has been considered to be supported in MPLS as well, so it's a legitimate use case like the others in the draft. When we need to support multiple such use cases at the same time, we need a generic mechanism to support them, so the use-case draft serves as a motivation for our work in the ODT.
Hopefully this answers your question. Thanks,
Haoyu

Hi Tarek,
thank you for your thoughtful consideration of my comments. I've reviewed the diff and got several follow-up notes:

  *   the new text in the Introduction section explains the ISD as being encoded as labels:
within the label stack, e.g., encoded as labels, referred to as In
                 Stack Data (ISD), and
I think s/as labels/into label stack elements/ makes the text a bit more accurate. What do you think?

  *   in my earlier comments, I've noted that the informational RFC 8596 appears not posing any requirements for enhancements in the MPLS data plane. If I am missing something, please let me know.
  *   I might have missed it earlier. The TSN is the term used for a very specific technology developed at IEEE to support, for example, URLLC services. The DetNet WG defines the methodology in support of these services using IETF technologies - MPLS and IP. I think it would be appropriate if an IETF document refers to Deterministic Networking, not TSN. What is your opinion?
Regards,
Greg
