Hi,

In the BFD meeting yesterday there was discussion about lack of clarity on what the spec says wrt to the discriminator TLV being sent by the egress node in the echo reply and that this causes interop issues. From RFC 5884:

The egress LSR MAY respond with an LSP Ping Echo
   reply message that carries the local discriminator assigned by it for
   the BFD session.

In the errata:

The LSP Ping

Echo reply message generated by the egress LSR MAY carry the local

discriminator assigned by it for the BFD session, as specified in

section 6.1.
So I think it’s clear that this cannot be the discriminator of the ingress node. I agree that this information is useless but still don’t see how it can cause any harm, and any implementation which interprets the discriminator in the echo reply differently is buggy IMHO.

Regards,
Reshad (hat off).

Hi,

While I agree that the echo reply is not needed to bootstrap BFD, and that the BFD Disc TLV is not needed in the reply, doing this doesn’t break anything. So I don’t see the proposed changes as being necessary.

Does anyone remember why RFC5884  has the echo reply, was it to potentially save an echo request from egress for bidirectional case?

Also, if we do go ahead with the proposed changes in this draft, we’ll have to fix this errata<https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5085>.

Regards,
Reshad (speaking as individual contributor).

Hi Carlos,
thank you for taking interest in the proposal, much appreciated. Please find my notes in-line and tagged GIM>>.

Greg

Greg,

This document seems to say “use “Do not Reply” reply mode, and even if you reply do not use the BFD Disc TLV, because it is not used.
GIM>> To be precise it says "SHOULD use "Do not Reply" thus preserving compliance of implementations that do otherwise.

Wouldn’t it be simpler to say “follow RFC 8029, and the ingress does not care about the BFD Disc TLV in the reply”? This would not suddenly make uncompliant existing implementations, potentially.
GIM>> I agree that normative language on handling echo reply is bit restrictive. My goal is to have good discussion and see what others think.

Also I wonder if this should be bfd-mpls instead of mpls-bfd, given where RFC 5884 was advanced.
GIM>> Probably it should be the way you've suggested. Hope it is not a big problem for individual draft.

Thanks,

Dear All,
this new document proposes clarification of two questions brought up in course of recent discussion of RFC 5884:

  *   use of Return mode values in bootstrapping BFD session echo request;
  *   inclusion of BFD Discriminator TLV in echo response to the bootstrapping echo request.
Your comments, questions are always welcome and greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Greg
