Re: [Idr] Part 3 of CAR/CT Adoption call (7/14/2022 to 7/27/2022) - Operational Differences

Hi Jeff,

Sure 300k times 5 colors makes it 1.5M ...

So I have a few different questions here.

Assume in CAR/CT enabled domain one color has transport problems ... say
low latency is becoming not so low due to interface queuing is transiently
congesting for whatever reason between P1 and P2 nodes (not even running
any BGP).

Q1 - How (by what exact protocol) and how fast such issue with forwarding a
given color via this domain will be visible at the CAR/CT layer ?

Q2 - Assume Q1 is done - do we now need to withdraw 300K routes based on
one color brownout ?

Q3 - According to your math such CAR/CT reaction will take 30 sec. What if
transport problem is transient and occurs for say 5-10 sec every 40 sec ?

Q4 - Is there in any document an analysis on dynamics of CAR/CT signalling
needed to make this at all practical in real deployments vs ppts ?

We keep burning energy on encoding, but apologies if I missed it but I am
not seeing the full picture here.

Why not advertise just 5 colors between those domains in 5 NLRIs and define
a new attribute to carry all the interdomain color mappings in it ?

5 being an example from the section 6.3.2 ... but realistically we could
perhaps vastly simplify this if we define day one set of well-known colors
instead of each domain inventing their own definition :)

Maybe I am just too practical here - but your math inspired those questions
:)

Many thx,
R.
