Re: [Lsr] LSR WG Adoption Poll for "Flexible Algorithms: Bandwidth, Delay, Metrics and Constraints" - draft-hegde-lsr-flex-algo-bw-con-02

Hi Shraddha,

Thanks for your rely.

So it seems that the scheme may lead to the selection of links with less bandwidth. To address this point, the method as you described to assign more bandwidth to high bandwidth links seems not always possible, e.g, adding more fiber ?

Can this point can be addressed by combination of bandwidth attribute of link and other metric that is cumulative ? IMO, bandwidth is not cumulative.

Hi Peng shaofu,

As per the draft, if automatic metric calculation with reference bandwidth method is used to calculate the metric

Then as per your example s->D path will be chosen since metric is 10.

Lets say operator wants to choose S->X1->X2-àX10->D path then operator can manually assign higher bandwidth

Metric on S->D link which will ensure S->D path is not the least cost path.

Sorry for spelling mistakens in the previous email.

updated text:

Hi WG,

I have a little doubt about the scheme described in this document.

See the following example:

S ---- X1 ----- X2 ---- ... ... ----- X10 ----- D

    \----------------------------------------------/

Suppose the links in S---X1---X2...---D have the same bandwidth  10G, and the link S-D has bandwidth 1G.

Suppose that we select "reference bandwidth = 100G", then, 

each link  in S---X1---X2...---D will have the same bandwidth-metric  10 (i.e., 100/10)

link S-D will have a bandwidth-metric 100 (i.e., 100/1)

So flex-algo path from S to D based on bandwidth-metric will be S-D, not S---X1---X2...---D, because the later has a large cumulative bandwitdh-metric (i.e., 11*10).

But our expect path should not be S-D, but S---X1---X2...---D, as it has large bandwidth.

Do I misunderstand anything ?

PSF
