Re: [OSPF] [Bier] WGLC: draft-ietf-bier-ospf-bier-extensions-05

Hi Tony,

I’m not saying they that BSL 256 and 512 bit strings would share any labels. What I’m saying is that the OSPF encoding (didn’t look at IS-IS) doesn’t allow them to share the same label range yet the example in the MPLS encapsulation draft implies that they are interleaved by SD in the same label range. Here is the second example:

      L1:   corresponding to SD 0, BSL 256, SI 0.

      L2:   corresponding to SD 0, BSL 256, SI 1.

      L3:   corresponding to SD 0, BSL 256, SI 2.

      L4:   corresponding to SD 0, BSL 256, SI 3.

      L5:   corresponding to SD 0, BSL 512, SI 0.

      L6:   corresponding to SD 0, BSL 512, SI 1.

      L7:   corresponding to SD 1, BSL 256, SI 0.

      L8:   corresponding to SD 1, BSL 256, SI 1.

      L9:   corresponding to SD 1, BSL 256, SI 2.

      L10:  corresponding to SD 1, BSL 256, SI 3.

      L11:  corresponding to SD 1, BSL 512, SI 0.

      L12:  corresponding to SD 1, BSL 512, SI 1.

Note that they are ordered by SD – not BSL. However, that the OSPF encoding is BSL specific. So, a label range would only include the SD/SI labels for a single BSL.

    0                   1                   2                   3
    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
   |              Type             |             Length            |

   |Lbl Range Size |                Label Range Base               |

I think the example should be updated to match the protocol encoding.

Thanks,
Acee

Acee, can you refer to more specific section in  https://www.ietf.org/id/<https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-bier-mpls-encapsulation-07.txt>draft-ietf-bier-mpls-encapsulation-07.txt<https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-bier-mpls-encapsulation-07.txt><https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-bier-mpls-encapsulation-07.txt> ? I don't think that it is assumed that BSL 256 and 512 in the same subdomain would ever share labels ...  I sent the conceptual model on the AD review for -architecture that all drafts follow (as far I understood/helped writing them) ...

Hi Greg, Authors,

I support publication. Also, I have two comments.

   1. It is somewhat strange to make protocol drafts standards track while the architecture and encapsulations are experimental.
   2. The OSPF encoding will not support the second example in https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-bier-mpls-encapsulation-07.txt. In this example, the BSL 256 and 512 are intermixed. While with the encoding, they would need to be two separate ranges of labels.

I also have some editorial comments but I’ll just pass them to the authors.

Thanks,
Acee

BIER, OSPF

At BIER WG meeting, IETF97 in Chicago, we decided to move forward to WGLC for some of our docs. We learned that even once published the IESG has a process to change the track of the RFC if the WG makes the case to move the work from Informational to Standards track. The feedback from operators is that RFC status was more important than track, and we won't be able to meet our charter requirements to change track without deployment experience and operator support.

This email starts a two week timer for feedback on the draft:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bier-ospf-bier-extensions/

WGLC to run in parallel in both BIER and OSPF WGs due to the scope of the work.

Thanks,
Greg
