Re: [mpls] wg adoption poll on draft-wijnands-mpls-mldp-in-band-wildcard-encoding

[Vladimir Shchutskiy <[e-mail]>]

I support the draft.

I agree with authors that  financial networks more depend on PIM-SM shared tree forwarding only  topology than any other one.  Financial  networks are built with clearly predefined source and receiver locations and traffic paths in mind.  In my practice, challenges to application development caused by original design switching from shared "(*,G)" to source tree "(S,G)"  always outweighed any other infrastructure benefits. Thus we place RP in between source and receivers  while designing financial  networks and we prefer to never switch from  "(*,G)" tree.

That alone would  make me support the proposed draft since I believe linking "(*,G)" tree to  MP-LSP  should be welcomed by financial community . I also agree that IGMP/MLD Proxying will  find its own happy engineer in the financial networks in many implementations. And I do support the authors in suggesting that Anycast RP became the preferred way in the financial industry.
