Re: [Idr] Éric Vyncke's No Objection on draft-ietf-idr-bgp-ls-segment-routing-msd-17: (with COMMENT)

["Eric Vyncke (evyncke)" <[e-mail]>]

Jeff,

I still have some suggested changes / improvements (nothing blocking of course but in the line that this document will / should support SRv6 in the long term), updated based on Alvaro’s reply :

-- Section 1 --
In "doesn't exceed the number of SIDs the node is capable of imposing.", is it "imposing" or "processing" ? Esp. when section 1.1.1 uses the word "supported" and "label imposition" does not really fit SRv6.

If this document is only about SR-MPLS, then suggest to change title, abstract, and introduction to reflect this focus and most of my comments fall off.

-- Section 3 --
Unsure whether "MSD values may be learned via a hardware API or may be provisioned. " provides any added value.

While it is unclear to me whether this document applies only to SR-MPLS, but, if it applies also to SRv6, then is it required to be able to advertise to MSD per node ? One for SR-MPLS and one for SRv6?

Hope this helps to improve the document

Hi!

This document is about the ability to carry the MSD in BGP-LS. The
applicability to SR-MPLS and/or SRv6 depends on the type of MSD
carried -- and with it any requirements about how to advertise, etc.

Right now there are only 2 MSD-Types defined, and both are related to
SR-MPLS [1].

If more types are defined, then those documents will have to describe
how the contents should behave and what they mean.


Thanks!

Alvaro.
