Re: [Lsr] Flooding Topology Computation Algorithm - draft-cc-lsr-flooding-reduction-08 Working Group Adoption Call

Huaimo

This is a much needed feature that operators have been needing for densely
meshed topologies that commonly exist in data centers to accommodate very
high bandwidth E-W traffic.

Below is link from Cisco which has introduced feature for dynamic flooding
in clos high density ECMP data center topologies.

Please look at the feature description and it does seem to be exactly the
same as this draft.  Please confirm.

There maybe other vendors due to industry demand have to get the feature
deployed before it reaches standards vendor consensus with the IETF.

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/nexus-9000-series-switches/white-paper-c11-743015.html

We are testing this feature and planning to deploy but wanted to ensure
that this is the same as the draft on the standards track.

Kind regards

Gyan
