I agree on the approach proposed below.

About the "any change to the actual draft", I think that draft needs anyway to reflect this clarification on the agent behavior :)

Dear all,

This mail thread started proposing new OLR reports to request reduction for one specific client.
However, the discussion clarified that as it is the draft today, Host-report is sent from a reporting node towards the client from where it receives the request. Then, reduction is requested per client in all cases already.
There is one special case here, when the agent is acting on behalf of the client (i.e. for a non-supporting client or for an agent SFE with topology hiding). In this case, the reporting node sends host-report to agent. Here we have two options:


a)      We expect the agent to apply the host-report received in an answer to specifically the client that sent the corresponding request

This requires some extra complexity at agent side.

But here we have one more option: allow the reporting node to choose whether it prefers to apply this host-report to "all-client" vs "one-client". That increases again the complexity (at reporting node, protocol-wise, and at agent).



b)      We expect the agent to apply this host-report to any client that is sending a request towards this agent

In my opinion, this is the best approach, it reduces complexity and increases robustness.

Therefore, I will be in favor of option b), which does not require any changes to the actual draft.

Let me know your opinions.
Best regards
