[Lsr] I,Scope of FIT Capability: a node or a link?

[Greg Mirsky <[e-mail]>]

Dear All,
I've read these two drafts with interest. In light of the discussion on the
LSR WG list, I've been thinking about the scenarios where IFIT is being
used.
draft-song-opsawg-ifit-framework defines the overall IFIT architecture
that, as I understand it, applicable to different methods of collecting and
transporting telemetry
information. draft-wang-lsr-ifit-node-capability-advertisement is based on
the view that IFIT is a node-wide capability advertised as a binary flag
for each listed method of collecting telemetry information (Option-Type
enabled Flag). On-path telemetry collection is performed in the fast path,
i.e., at a link layer. But a node might include ports with different
capabilities. How such a heterogeneous, IFIT-wise, node will advertise IFIT
Capability? To better use available resources for telemetry information
collection, it might be helpful to advertise IFIT as a capability of a
link, not of a node?
What do you think?

Regards,
Greg
