[Isis-wg] 答复: 答复: 答复: WG Last Call for draft-ietf-isis-segment-routing-msd-07

[Xuxiaohu <[e-mail]>]

Hi Jeff,

As for per-link MSD information, I have the following comments:

1) I wonder whether you have considered the implementation differences on the label stack imposition process among different vendors. More specially, some chooses to impose the label stack on ingress line-cards while others choose to impose the label stack on egress line-cards due to different tradeoffs. For example, when a packet arrives at interface A of linecard X while departuring from interface B of linecard Y, assume the MSD type 1 values of linecard A and B are different, which interface's MSD value should be taken into account when calculating a SR path. Does it require IGP or BGP-LS to be extended to advertise the manner of label stack imposition of a given node as well (i.e., imposition on ingress or egress linecard)?

2) In the SID-binding case, if the incoming interface or outgoing interface for a given packet received by the Binding-SID anchor node is changed on the fly due to whatever reasons (e.g., FRR or ECMP ), how to deal with such case?

Best regards,
Xiaohu
