Hi WG, Just wanted to add my support for the work/document. Authors, I have also reviewed the document. I can provide an MS word document with change modification indicators to the current editor(s). In the meantime here are a number of comments and suggestions. Assuming the document is adopted, these suggestions might be incorporated after the ID is submitted as draft-ietf. 1. Solution Comments Having spoken to various vendors and operators I believe the preferred solution is to extend MPLS for MT networks by mapping an IP address to the corresponding Multi Topology: Single topology label ~ address MT label ~ (address plus topology) This would negate the need for changes at the data plane. Then the only mapping required is at the ingress-PE of an MPLS-MT LSP, each node would be capable of identifying the MPLS-MT LSP, and traffic is switched accordingly based on the incoming label information. This solution uses minimal protocol extensions. Please find my suggested updates and fixes for the first half of the document. 1. Document editors, table of contents and formatting - ChinaMobile/China Mobile - Verison/Verizon - Unnecessary number of CRs between authors and document title/name. - FEC TLV with MT-ID Extenstion/FEC TLV with MT-ID Extension 2. Revised Abstract >> Multi-topology (MT) routing is supported in IP through extension of IGP protocols, such as OSPF and IS-IS. It would be advantageous to extend Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), using Label Distribution Protocol (LDP), to support multiple topologies. These LDP extensions, known as Multiple Topology Label Distribution Protocol (MT LDP), would allow the configuration of multiple topologies within an MPLS LDP enabled network. This document describes the protocol extensions required to extend the existing MPLS LDP signalling protocol for creating and maintaining LSPs in an MT environment. << Line 34: enviroment/environment 3. The introduction, as well as other areas of the document, could do with significant weight loss. Although interesting, some of the text is redundant in this document. I would suggest the introduction is slimmed down to the following text/edits, and a new requirements section (see comment 4) is added: >> OSPF and IS-IS use MT-ID (Multi-Topology Identification) to identify different topologies. For each topology identified by a MT-ID, IGP computes a separate SPF tree independently to find the best paths to the IP prefixes associated with this topology. For FECs that are associated with a specific topology, this solution utilises the same MT-ID of this topology in LDP. Thus LSP for a certain FEC may be created and maintained along the IGP path in this topology. Maintaining multiple MTs for MPLS network in a backwards-compatible manner requires several extensions to the label signaling encoding and processing procedures. When label is associated with a FEC, the FEC includes both IP address and topology it belongs to. << Line 204: certian/certain Line 238: managment/management Line 241: forwarding/forwarding Line 251: tolology/topology Line 253: assinged/assigned Line 256: prtoco/protocol Line 260: distingushed/distinguished and assinged/assigned 4. Requirements, specifically the lack thereof. The document would benefit from a paragraph with bullets detailing the objectives/requirements for these protocol extensions. 5. Application Scenarios are useful but specific requirements can be blended into the requirements section.
