[mpls] Re: Working Group Last Call on draft-ietf-mpls-mna-hdr (2nd WG call)

["Zafar Ali (zali)" <[e-mail]>]

Dear chairs and the WG,

I agree with Tianran.
I am also concerned about lack of implementation experience and interoperability for a data plane change addressing a subset of the MNA architecture.
These are hardware changes that are not proven or demonstrated in the field, yet.

Thanks

Regards … Zafar

Looking at the use case draft, PSD can address all use cases and future proof. In this sense, there is no need to implement ISD at all.

I also started a thread in the working group mailing list to investigate the operators requirements. I only got one requirement on noffrr. There’s rare interest on existing MNA.

I can’t believe we are going to publish such paper work in a hurry.

Tianran

Given that the PSD proposal on the table requires the ISD draft, and does not require any changes to the ISD draft, I do not understand your comments.  You have said you do not want any ISD solution, and now you are suggesting we adopt a PSD solution that requires ISD?

And it is not clear that we need a PSD solution at all.

If we need a PSD solution, I expect with some clarifications and modifications the jags psd draft can serve as a basis for further work.  I would strongly prefer to get the ISD work done.  Then we can have the debate about whethere we need PSD, and then discuss what a solution should look like.

Yours,

Joel

Then why not adopting that PSD proposal as the base for discussion? And find out how it will require the draft-ietf-mpls-mna-hdr.

So we should hold up the ISD draft for some proposal to appear?  The one PSD proposal we have on the table does not require any changes to the mna-hdr ISD draft.    That seems to request arbitrary delay from the WG without justification.

So the next step for the WG is to work out the PSD and see how ISD and PSD can complement and be compatible.
It’s not the time to finalize draft-ietf-mpls-mna-hdr in hurry.
Especially when there is no hands on implementation.

If someone wants to put a proposal on the table for PSD that does not require ISD, they can do so.  And the WG can, if the process moves that far, consider that solution.  But, by definition, if the solution does not use ISD then it has no impact on advancing the mna-hdr draft solution for those cases which use ISD.  I still do not see the coupling you are asserting.

In particular, while the requirements permit such a solution, they do not mandate it.  Since we do not even have a proposal for how to do PSD without ISD, it seems really confusing to be objecting to advancing the mna-hdr draft on such a basis.

Yours,

Joel

Hi Greg,

Please see below:

   5.   Subject to the constraints in these requirements, a Network
        Action solution MAY carry MNA information in-stack, post-stack,
        or both in-stack and post-stack.

   6.   Solution specifications MUST NOT require an implementation to
        support in-stack ancillary data, unless the implementation
        chooses to support an NA that uses in-stack ancillary data.

Hi Tianran,
Please point me to the part of RFC 9613<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc9613/> that supports your request.

The IPR poll for the two document did not hit the point.
The point is how can the MNA mechanism disable the ISD and use PSD only.
The draft-ietf-mpls-mna-hdr need to resolve this.

Hi Zafar,

I am aware of the thread but all we hear is that chairs are discussing the responses and will share further update, “interest” vs. “consensus” debate, the chairs are discussing how to initiate the PSD debate, etc. There were 65 emails on the original PSD poll. I am not sure why we need another round of debate and what will be the nature of that debate. Why not just start WG adoption call and gauge the WG “consensus”.


That’s exactly what we’re doing. The process for doing this begins with an IPR poll.

Nic started the IPR poll on draft-mb-mpls-ioam-dex and draft-gandhi-mpls-ioam-dex on Sept 3.
