Re: [Gen-art] Genart last call review of draft-ietf-ospf-link-overload-11

["Les Ginsberg (ginsberg)" <[e-mail]>]

I think the point here is that the link is not necessarily going to be shutdown in all cases.

For example, the operator needs to do some testing of the link. They set max-metric to divert traffic, then keep the link up so they can send OAM traffic over the link and try to determine what problems may exist.

It is a mistake to assume that this mechanism is always intended to be used as a precursor to link shutdown.

How about “graceful-link-shutdown” ?

It is not in “maintenance" mode yet as it is still being used. However, it is better than “overload”. “pending-maintenance” is a bit long which is why I suggested “pending-shutdown” since “shutdown” is term that vendors have used for eons to described an interface that is not in service.

Ketan –

“maintenance” I could live with.

“GIR” seems to not be generic enough.

Hello,

May I suggest something more generic like “Maintenance Mode” or “Graceful Insertion/Removal (GIR) Mode” which could be defined so as to cover the multiple scenarios in question (e.g. pending shutdown, down for repairs, last resort due to poor link quality, etc.).

Thanks,
Ketan

[Les:] I agree with Joel's comment. The use of the term "overload" is unfortunate.

But "pending-shutdown" isn’t appealing to me because - at least in most use cases - you aren't actually going to shutdown the link. What you are going to do is make a link the "link of last resort".

This seems a better choice.

That is not the use case - you are going to take the link down. It is not going to be the "link of last resort”, it is the currently the “link of last resort” and will imminently be taken down.




The suggestion from Shraddha that this term was borrowed from IS-IS isn't accurate. "overload" in IS-IS has a very different meaning - it indicates a node either has an incomplete LSDB or (a la RFC 3277<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__datatracker.ietf.org_doc_rfc3277_&d=DwMGaQ&c=HAkYuh63rsuhr6Scbfh0UjBXeMK-ndb3voDTXcWzoCI&r=NyjLsr7JA7mvpCJa0YmPdVKcmMXJ31bpbBaNqzCNrng&m=7GM8zN1-Ff2au_agmHAkiNYK2R5Aji-EjpyT8gmgRYU&s=769ndBiWrwubwBNccNtOnDuHr1yMD-W10WuEarCDNgI&e=> )an incomplete forwarding plane.



The only use of "link overload" in IS-IS occurs in https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-isis-reverse-metric-07#section-3.6<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__tools.ietf.org_html_draft-2Dietf-2Disis-2Dreverse-2Dmetric-2D07-23section-2D3.6&d=DwMGaQ&c=HAkYuh63rsuhr6Scbfh0UjBXeMK-ndb3voDTXcWzoCI&r=NyjLsr7JA7mvpCJa0YmPdVKcmMXJ31bpbBaNqzCNrng&m=7GM8zN1-Ff2au_agmHAkiNYK2R5Aji-EjpyT8gmgRYU&s=r_8muG61-ePlkCbqf7qIcHUPHGtjWf_JOH1UXH7lp8U&e=> and this was added recently to support the (very useful) TE use case which was defined in https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ospf-link-overload-11<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__tools.ietf.org_html_draft-2Dietf-2Dospf-2Dlink-2Doverload-2D11&d=DwMGaQ&c=HAkYuh63rsuhr6Scbfh0UjBXeMK-ndb3voDTXcWzoCI&r=NyjLsr7JA7mvpCJa0YmPdVKcmMXJ31bpbBaNqzCNrng&m=7GM8zN1-Ff2au_agmHAkiNYK2R5Aji-EjpyT8gmgRYU&s=umZHmgXp6i4i0PAyZbsDS0iorBurDZsFIyvaVVXEHb0&e=> . When this was done the term "link-overload" was cut and pasted from the OSPF draft. I think this should also be changed in the IS-IS draft.

Agreed.
