  Weiming,
  Sorry, the slides were made as a support for the presentation, so they are not very explicit alone.  

  There is no LFB-class mcast. 

  Do you think it is important to add class mcast, i.e., "send this config command to all LFB of class X in FE a", or "send this config command to all LFB of class X in the NE" ?
  [Weimign]I think currently we may need the latter more. The requirements fo LFB-class level mcast may still need more experience to find its necessity. Actually What I meant was I just can not see the big difference between the LF-ID mcast and the virtual LFB instance ID mcast. It seems identical to me. maybe I missed something. 

  Thank you.
  Weiming

    At the moment, this can be done using three alternatives: a PL-ID mcast group, a virtual LFB instance ID, or list of LFB instances ID, each of which containing all the LFB instances of class X. So the question is, do we want to introduce a fourth alternative ? 

    Regards,
    -Robert

    Hi Robert,

    Just one tiny point. I still cannot see the vital difference between the Merged mcast and Split mcast. Do you mean the main difference is the Merged mcast is for LFB class mcast while the Split mcast is for LFB Instance ID mcast only?  If possible, I think adding some more to explain (or define) the m1 and i1 may help more or less, especially to indicate if m1 is for LFB class and LFB instance, while il is only for LFB instance IDs. 

    Cheers,
    Weiming

      Hi All,
      I haven't seen any message on ForCES in the last 2 days, so I smell sth fishy. I post again my presentation here.
      Cheers,

All,

Attached is a short presentation for the next IETF that summarizes the 
three options for LFB-level multicast:
- merged (among the current proposal in the draft),
- split (among the current proposals in the draft, called VPN, and 
Zsolt's proposal),
-  xcat (Weiming's proposal).

Also, there is a slide with the issue Jamal raised about unnecessarily 
repeating the class ID for commands destined to LFBs of the same class. 
Personally, I think the overhead is minimal. Maybe your view is different ?

Please review the slides and let me know if you have comments/suggestions.

Depending on the chosen solution(s), we may have to define a TLV for the 
LFB Instance ID, as this can be a normal ID, a virtual ID (MIID), a 
list, or a range.
