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

Hi Acee,

Thanks for the comments.

The ordering is not by SD, but SI.

The text below this example says the following:

"The first label in the range could correspond to SI 0, and the second to SI 1."

The “key” for the Label range is {SD, BSL}, and the index into the range is SI. So in the example below you see a Label range of 4 labels (L1-L4) for {0,256}, 2 labels (L5-L6) for {0,512}, etc….

Does that clarify it?

Thx,

Ice.

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:

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) ...

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.
