Speaking as WG chair:

It seems were getting a number of questions and comments on these ELC signaling documents as they go to the RFC Queue. I'd like to encourage review and discussion of LSR documents earlier in the WG process. One way to facilitate this would be for the authors to solicit review and discussion on the LSR list. This can be done at any time but should be done when documents are refreshed. 

Thanks,
Acee

    Hi authors,

    After reading this draft, I am not clear with following points.

    First,  as said " Even though ELC is a property of the node, in some cases it is advantageous to associate and advertise the ELC with a prefix.", what are "some cases" in which it is advantageous to associate and advertise the ELC with a prefix? And ELC is a property of the node, why don't extend the OSPF RI Opaque LSA to carry ELC?

    Second, as said " If a router has multiple interfaces, the router MUST NOT announce ELC unless all of its interfaces are capable of processing ELs. ", why do not consider ELC advertisement in link granularity? 

    Third, as said " If the router supports ELs on all of its interfaces, it SHOULD advertise the ELC with every local host prefix it advertises in OSPF.", what is the "every local host prefix"?

    Last one, as defined that ERLD is advertised in a Node MSD TLV, why the ERLD-MSD type can be received in the OSPFv2 or OSPFv3 Link MSD sub-TLV? " When the ERLD-MSD type is received in the OSPFv2 or OSPFv3 Link MSD Sub-TLV [RFC8476], it MUST be ignored."

    Best regards,
    Yali

    This draft is a work item of the Link State Routing WG of the IETF.

    Abstract:
       Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) has defined a mechanism to load-
       balance traffic flows using Entropy Labels (EL).  An ingress Label
       Switching Router (LSR) cannot insert ELs for packets going into a
       given Label Switched Path (LSP) unless an egress LSR has indicated
       via signaling that it has the capability to process ELs, referred to
       as the Entropy Label Capability (ELC), on that LSP.  In addition, it
       would be useful for ingress LSRs to know each LSR's capability for
       reading the maximum label stack depth and performing EL-based load-
       balancing, referred to as Entropy Readable Label Depth (ERLD).  This
       document defines a mechanism to signal these two capabilities using
       OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 and BGP-LS.
