Eric, Thanks for your review and comments. Please see below. > -----Original Message----- > From: Eric Rosen [mailto:erosen@cisco.com] > Sent: Friday, May 17, 2013 10:49 AM > To: L3VPN > Subject: Comments on draft-jain-mvpn-bgp-sitetype-attribute-00.txt > > > I have a few comments on draft-jain-mvpn-bgp-sitetype-attribute-00.txt. > > This draft seems to assume the following combination of circumstances: > > 1. Each VRF of a given MVPN originates an Intra-AS I-PMSI A-D route. > > 2. Each such route contains a PMSI Tunnel attribute specifying a tunnel of > type "RSVP-TE P2MP LSP" or of type "Ingress Replication". > > 3. Some of the VRFs are connected only to sites that have multicast senders > but no multicast receivers.

This draft proposes that if a VRF, say VRF1, has no > receivers, it should add a "sender-only attribute" to its Intra-AS I-PMSI > A-D route.

Problem solved, no new standards > needed. That is at the cost of extra (C-*,C-*) S-PMSI and corresponding Leaf A-D routes. With just a simple additional sender-only attribute, the same result can be achieved w/o the need of (C-*,C-*) S-PMSI and corresponding Leaf A-D routes. > > Note that if VRF2 is attached to a site with senders, the procedures in the > draft will add VRF1 to the P-tunnel rooted at VRF2 even if VRF1 does not > have interest in any C-flow from any of VRF2's senders. That's a argument for I-PMSI vs. (C-*,C-*) S-PMSI. The context of this proposal is that I-PMSI is used anyway (e.g., non-segmented inter-as provider tunnel) - you can simply use the new attribute. > If the goal is to > optimize the amount of tunnel state in the core, the use of the wildcard > S-PMSI is more optimal than the procedures proposed in the draft. In case of Ingress Replication, there is no core state anyway and the saving is on the (C-*,C-*) S-PMSI AD and corresponding Leaf-AD route. Thanks. Jeffrey
