Hi Greg,

I think the IOAM pre-allocated tracing mode can mitigate the MSD issue.
How about we only apply this mode in MNA?

Hi Haoyu,
I find the argument "We don't care about your problem" unusual for an environment striving to reach, although rough, consensus nevertheless. MSD is a well-known network constraint that, I suspect, would not go away very soon (similar to using the label stack to generate entropy in the ECMP environment). MSD is real, and we must consider it when making design decisions. I don't think that operators will look favorably at a technology that requires the forklift upgrade of a network.

Regards,
Greg

Greg,
A feature having severe performance impact to one device doesn’t necessarily mean it has the same issue to others’ devices. Also, not everyone must implement it. It’s all about user’s preference, capability, and choice.

Best,

Hi Haoyu,
I am surprised that the proponents of PSD-based solution use limited impact on the MPLS label stack depth as an argument while seemingly ignoring the MSD issue that, in my opinion, might have more severe impact on degrading the forwarding performance of the already deployed networking devices.

Greg

Hi Joel,

I think it's important to support IOAM DEX as specified in RFC9326. I don't think it can still be called IOAM DEX if the header format is changed in order to fit it in ISD.  As Rakesh has explained, the header itself is extensible, and the header size is large with options. Both these make it unsuitable for ISD.

Best,
Haoyu

Loa, you list three bullet points with three different results. However, what has been shown so far seems to correspond to your first case, which you state does not justify two solutions. Adopting a post-stack data solution before we decide we are in case three, or in case 2 and feel the tradeoff is right, seems premature.   It may well be that the ps draft is the right starting point once we have agreed on the problems to be solved. Which is why I am trying to understand the motivations for Rakesh' iOAM dex draft.  (I do think we need to support IOAM DEX.)

Yours,

Joel
