Re: [mpls] [spring] Query related to SR Architecture

Stefano,

How SR controller is to be aware about amount of multicast traffic on a per
link basis in a given network to wisely select optimal paths for unicast ?

Are you advocating completely disjoined topologies for unicast and
multicast ? If so it would be great to document it somewhere ... perhaps
even as BCP.

Of course there are more solutions for engineered coexistance of both in
the same topology, but just saying go to BIER IMHO is not sufficient :)

Best,
R.
Hi,

if you're an operator (SP, content, etc) and looking for a multicast
solution, maybe you should have a look at BIER WG.

Thanks.
