Having worked for last couple of years on implementation of flooding speeds that converge LSDBs some order of magnitudes above today's speeds ;-) here's a bunch of observations 1. TX side is easy and useful. My observation having gone quickly over the -ginsberg- draft is that you really want a better hysterisis there, it's bit too vertical and you will generate oscillations rather than walk around the equilibrium ;-) 2. Queue per interface is fairly trivial with modern implementation techniques and memory sizes if done correctly. Yes, very memory constrained platforms are a mildly different game and kind of precondition a different discussion. 3. RX side is possible and somewhat useful but much harder to do well depending on flavor. If we're talking about the RX advertising a very static value to cap the flooding speed that's actually a useful knob to have IMO/IME. Trying to cleverly communicate to the TXer a window size is not only fiendishly difficult, incurs back propagation speed (not neglectible @ those rates IME) but can easily lead to subtle flood starvation behaviors and lots of slow starts due to mixture of control loop dynamics and implementation complexity of such a scheme. Though, giving the TXer some hint that a backpressure is desired is however not a bad thing IME and can be derived failry easily without needs for checking queue sizes and so on. It's observable by looking @ some standard stats on what is productive incoming rate on the interface. Anything smarter needs new TLVs on packets & then you have a problem under/oversampling based on hellos (too low a frequency) and ACKs (too bursty, too batchy) and flooded back LSPs (too unpredictable) For more details I can recommend rift draft of course ;-) otherwise I'm staying out from this mildly feline spat ;-) --- tony On Wed, Feb 19, 2020 at 9:59 AM Les Ginsberg (ginsberg) <ginsberg@cisco.com> wrote: > Tony - > > Peter has a done a great job of highlighting that "single queue" is an > oversimplification - I have nothing to add to that discussion. > > I would like to point out another aspect of the Rx based solution. > > As you need to send signaling based upon dynamic receiver state and this > signaling is contained in unreliable PDUs (hellos) and to be useful this > signaling needs to be sent ASAP - you cannot wait until the next periodic > hello interval (default 10 seconds) to expire.
