[Idr] Fwd: I-D Action: draft-krierhorn-idr-upa-00.txt

Hi,

Allow me to observe before even further commenting on the draft that
motivation for the IGP UPA work was based on the trigger of node down event
(planned or unplanned) in one non backbone areas.

With that the analogy in the BGP world is not to advertise all atomic
prefixes which may have become unreachable, but instead quickly propagate
information about the next hop down event which is by design shared across
all such prefixes/locators.

I along with few collegues in 2005 we wrote a draft -
https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-raszuk-aggr-withdraw-00.txt

At that time there was no sufficient interest in signalling such events in
BGP.

If you think that times have changed I recommend you take a look at this
draft and possibly respin it or reuse it.

Thx a lot,
Robert

PS. After a quick read I do have a number of comments on the text in the
draft however before we go down that path let's consider the alternative
approach.

   Title:   SRv6 BGP Unreachable Prefix Announcement (UPA)

Abstract:

   Summarization is often used in multi-domain networks to improve
   network efficiency and scalability.  With summarization in place,
   there is a need to signal loss of reachability to an individual
   prefix covered by the summary.  This enables fast convergence by
   steering traffic away from the node which owns the prefix and is no
   longer reachable.

   This mechanism, referred to as Unreachable Prefix Announcement (UPA),
   has been specified for IGPs.  This document specifies an and
   equivalent BGP mechanism for multi-AS networks where BGP is used to
   carry summary routes.
