Hi, Linda

Here are the comments :

1. For Section 4.4, "Site Physical Availability Index Metadata," the metadata is viewed as a routing attribute.
 In the Site Physical Availability Index, a site index is defined, and routes are associated with this site index, with the 'I' flag indicating whether it is an association or a notification of changes in site availability.
 In practice, routes associated with the same site need to be linked, and one route must be selected to carry the site's availability status.
 This implicitly advertises the availability changes of site routes within the attribute.
 This implementation necessitates significant modifications to how current BGP attributes are handled.

  It is recommended that site availability be advertised as a regular TLV, similar to other metrics, without associating routes.

 2. For the Service Delay Prediction Index Sub-TLV, should the definitions of delay align with IGP, including values such as minimum delay and jitter?

 3. The current metric definitions are numerous and complex.
  Can we introduce a generalized metric, similar to the definitions from draft-ssangli-idr-bgp-generic-metric-aigp-08 and draft-ietf-lsr-flex-algo-bw-con-12?
  This could be done using a unified abstract form like the following to standardize service metrics:

0                 1                   2                   3
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
|    Type     |       Length   |  metric-type  |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| metric-flags| metric-value                        |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+..........................
​
 4. Since the metadata is defined as non-transitive, it is incompatible with current deployments, and Route Reflectors (RR) will require upgrades.

 5. As the NLRI advertises anycast addresses, when there is an RR deployment, BGP must use the multi-path functionality as specified in RFC 7911. It is recommended to address this in the document.

Thanks,
Changwang

主题: [Idr] I-D Action: draft-ietf-idr-5g-edge-service-metadata-19.txt

Internet-Draft draft-ietf-idr-5g-edge-service-metadata-19.txt is now available. It is a work item of the Inter-Domain Routing (IDR) WG of the IETF.

   Title:   BGP Extension for 5G Edge Service Metadata

Abstract:

   This draft describes a new Metadata Path Attribute and some Sub-TLVs
   for egress routers to advertise the Metadata about the attached edge
   services (ES).  The edge service Metadata can be used by the ingress
   routers in the 5G Local Data Network to make path selections not only
   based on the routing cost but also the running environment of the
   edge services.  The goal is to improve latency and performance for 5G
   edge services.

   The extension enables an edge service at one specific location to be
   more preferred than the others with the same IP address (ANYCAST) to
   receive data flow from a specific source, like a specific User
   Equipment (UE).
