Hi Alvaro, From: Alvaro Retana [mailto:aretana.ietf@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, March 14, 2019 11:31 AM To: Alvaro Retana via Datatracker <noreply@ietf.org>; The IESG <iesg@ietf.org>; Mach Chen <mach.chen@huawei.com> Cc: mpls@ietf.org; mpls-chairs@ietf.org; draft-ietf-mpls-lsp-ping-lag-multipath@ietf.org Subject: Re: [mpls] Alvaro Retana's No Objection on draft-ietf-mpls-lsp-ping-lag-multipath-06: (with COMMENT) On March 13, 2019 at 10:14:42 AM, Mach Chen (mach.chen@huawei.com<mailto:mach.chen@huawei.com>) wrote: Mach: Hi! ... > (2) §6: "Otherwise, if the responder does not know the LSR Capability TLV, an > MPLS echo reply with the return code set to "One or more of the TLVs was > not understood" MUST be sent back to the initiator LSR."

Writing the > specification is one place is enough.] It's more accurate to call it a "Mandatory" TLV that does not require an implementation has to implement it, but will result in return code when a node does not support it, as specified in RFC8029. Maybe we could just remove the "optional", and make it clear to the IANA section, the code point of this TLV should be allocated from the Mandatory range. How do you think? I think that optional should explicitly be replaced with mandatory…. And, the IANA section should be clarified to indicate the range. [Mach] As Loa and Deborah pointed out, the TLV should be an optional TLV, but the code point should be allocated from the Mandatory range. Just as the Downstream Detailed Mapping TLV which is used in the RFC8029 is also optional, but has a code point from the Mandatory range. So, the solution would be: keep it as an optional TLV, and update IANA section to indicate the range. Is this OK for you? ... > (3) This document doesn't talk about what should be done if a response is > not received, at any point in the process.

That process > doesn't seem to apply to this document -- what should an initiator do if a > reply is not received? I am specially interested in the discovery phases. Normally, the timeout process is left the implementation (e.g., through timers). If a reply cannot be received within a certain period, the initiator will return timeout. That means there some issues along the path, operator should intervene then. Ok..so a log/notification of some kind should be raised. During the discovery process, it looks like some things could be specified without operator intervention. For example, the capabilities may be discovered (§3), but the request about the LAG may not be answered. It seems to me that the initiator could simply retry…maybe after some retries the log/notification can be raised. Just thinking out loud… Either way is fine with me... [Mach] OK, thanks! Best regards, Mach Thanks! Alvaro.
