[Lsr] 答复: A new version of I-D, draft-liu-lsr-isis-ifit-node-capability-02

Hi Acee, Chris and Les,

This is Yali. Many thanks for your kind comments and suggestion. 

Besides of signaling MSD by IGP node CAPABILITY TLV, we learned that there's another RFC7883 that advertising S-BFD discriminators in IS-IS. In my understand, BFD is a protocol to detect faults in the bidirectional path between two forwarding engines, including interface, data links, etc.

Similarly, IFIT provides a complete framework of a family of on-path telemetry techniques, which are used to monitoring performance metrics of service flows, e.g. packet loss, delay. So we consider there's a same methodology with S-BFD that advertising IFIT node capabilities.

Please let us know your comments and opinion. Thanks.

Best regards,
Yali

    There is also a difference between some of the existing applications advertised in IGP capabilities. For example, MSD is used with the routing information to construct SR paths. The information for all these OAM mechanisms doesn't share this affinity. Also, it seems like a slippery slope in what is needed for each of the mechanism. 
    Thanks,

        Hi Les,

        Thanks very much for your suggestion. I have a quick look at rfc6823. Sounds like a good idea. I will think about it.

        Cheers,
        Tianran

        Tianran -

        I am very much in agreement with the points Chris has made.

        IGPs do not exist to advertise capabilities/configure applications - which seems to me to be what you are proposing here.
        The fact that you can easily define the encodings does not make it the right thing to do.

        This issue was discussed at length in the context of https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6823 . If you were proposing to use GENAPP I would not object - though I do think Chris has correctly pointed out that NETCONF/YANG is likely a more appropriate solution for your use case.

           Les
