Re: [Lsr] WG Adoption Call for "IGP Flexible Algorithms (Flex-Algorithm) In IP Networks" - draft-bonica-lsr-ip-flexalgo-01

Hi Parag,

Thanks for your reply. While perhaps I should make my comment clearer:

I agree a node which does not support a particular address family (e.g. IPv6) will not install route for that family. While according to the rules in section 7, this node will be included in the topology for path computation of one Flex-Algo by another node, just because it advertises the participation to the same Flex-Algo for another address family (e.g. IPv4). In my understanding this would cause packet drop. Did I miss something?

Best regards,
Jie

IP Algorithm SUBTLV indicate the participation for particular flex algo by node.  Participation doesn't depend on whether it support ipv4 prefix or ipv6 prefix.  Node which doesn't support particular family will not install that family route.

Hi authors,

Here is one comment following the previous discussion on the mail list and the IETF meeting.

The IP Algorithm TLV is defined to advertise the IP Flex-Algorithm participation information, there is no separate TLV for IPv4 or IPv6 Flex-Algo participation. If some nodes participate in IPv4 Flex-Algo 128, and some of these nodes participate in IPv6 Flex-Algo 128, how to ensure that the path computed for IPv6 Flex-Algo will not use the nodes which only participate in IPv4 Flex-Algo 128?

Best regards,
Jie

This IP Flex Algorithm draft generated quite a bit of discussion on use cases and deployment prior to IETF 109 and there was generally support for WG adoption. This begins a two week WG adoption call. Please indicate your support or objection to WG adoption on this list prior to 12:00 AM UTC on December 16th, 2020. Also, review comments are certainly welcome.
Thanks,
