Re: [mpls-tp] [mpls][PWE3][AHMPLS-TP] poll on draft-he-mpls-tp-csf-03.txt

[Phil Bedard <[e-mail]>]

The L2 native clients themselves may not have a CSF equivalent, but PWE3
does through status signaling and OAM message mapping.   Some vendors have
also added functions in the PW adaptation to shut off AC ports or signal a
physical fault.   At this point adding the CSF function seems to duplicate
functionality already widely deployed for PWE3.

For LSP/IP I'm on the fence about the necessity of the draft because I
realize mechanisms like BFD exist for monitoring liveness of an IP interface
or an LSP, but to date the ability to scale those sessions or run them at
very low intervals has been limited.   However, I have seen more recent
implementations which have the ability to scale a number of BFD sessions
running with intervals as low as 10ms.    The benefit of the draft is a
single on-demand fault notification packet which may improve restoration,
but how fast of restoration is really needed?   That's a subjective
requirement.

Hi John,
I am not talking about draft-he, only talking about statement "Viz, any L2
technology will go through a PW and PWs already have a CSF equivalent."
Actually, in current defined MPLS in IETF, the statement is not true. There
is a case that L2 technology will go through LSP, not PW. In
draft-ietf-l2vpn-vpls-mcast, section 14.1.2, you can find that case. However
this case is for P2MP LSP, not P2P. I think draft-he does not include P2MP
LSP.

Lizhong
