Hi Sasha, Regarding why anycast segment would require global labels, please look at page 4 of this .pdf (https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/93/slides/slides-93-spring-1.pdf) IMHO, it seems more acceptable to use global labels rather than introducing a new forwarding paradigm (i.e., SID-based forwarding) to achieve anycast segment functionality.

Xiaohu hi! First of all I think that you are asking the right question:-( . This said I think that the answer to this question is NO. I do not see why anycast segment in SR would require global labels - could you please elaborate?

Hi all, Before considering the possible MPLS forwarding optimization for global labels (a.k.a., domain-wide labels), should we firstly legalize the usage of global labels within the MPLS community? BTW, I believe global labels would be very useful and neccessary in some use cases, such as anycast segment.

Hi all, Please note that CONTINUE in SPRING is: 1. A DP-agnostic primitive 2. *Implemented* as SWAP instruction with MPLS DP. So claiming equivalence of CONTINUE and NO-SWAP seems to be inaccurate IMO. As for global labels (in SDN, MPLS-TP or any other technology) - this definitely looks to me like a very bad idea for networks comprised of devices that support different label ranges. From my experience these scenarios have been encountered in real MPLS-TP deployments and resulted in eventually dropping the "simple" solution as live networks have been extended with new NEs supporting a more narrow label space than the original ones. Adding a new forwarding primitive to MPLS architecture (yet another argument on this thread) immediately raises the question: Is support of the new primitive mandatory? If it is not (and this is clearly the case for NO-SWAP), then why should we bother? Occam's rasor cuts this off IMHO. My personal bottom line: this is a strictly NO GO proposal. My 2c.

The point is that new control plane is already defined. In fact we already have two :) As I mentioned in my first mail to the list the concept of NO_SWAP/CONTINUE is common to both H-SDN and SEGMENT ROUTING architectures.

Hi Shahram, Labels which are non of a local significance can be distributed by flooding protocols extensions (ISIS, OSPF) or by direct p2p sessions (BGP 3107, sessions from the controller, XMPP etc ...) The important part is that the actual forwarding is computed recursively or set at the controller. AFAIK I have not seen any proposal where LDP would play any role in such distribution. Regards, R.

Hi Eric, If you notice that the incoming label needs to be 'replaced' by an outgoing label of the same value, you could just make the rewrite string shorter, so it won't overwrite the top label on the stack. This seems to be what the draft suggests, but it could be done as an optimization for the particular case where the incoming and outgoing labels have the same value. This is precisely the crux where your statement fails. You use term "incoming label" and "outgoing lable" ... well in the new architectures there is no such things. It is a "global label" or "path label" with adjacency information. So to support legacy hardware new control plane has to make up from single label now two (identical) labels to pass it to data plane. Now also data plane must be smart to check that and program its state per your suggestion. Why would we do that other then due to worry about legacy chipsets feared to be non compliant to new RFC ? Many thx, R.
