Hi Shraddha, From: OSPF <ospf-bounces@ietf.org<mailto:ospf-bounces@ietf.org>> on behalf of Shraddha Hegde <shraddha@juniper.net<mailto:shraddha@juniper.net>> Date: Wednesday, October 21, 2015 at 1:20 AM To: OSPF WG List <ospf@ietf.org<mailto:ospf@ietf.org>> Subject: [OSPF] Regarding draft-ppsenak-ospf-te-link-attr-reuse-00 Hi All, draft-ppsenak-ospf-te-link-attr-reuse-00 proposes moving and/or copying TLVs from the TE Opaque LSA to the Extended Link Opaque LSA. The draft lists the problems that the draft is trying to solve. I have reproduced that list of problems below, with each problem followed by what I believe to be a better and simpler solution. 1. Whenever the link is advertised in a TE Opaque LSA, the link becomes a part of the TE topology, which may not match IP routed topology. By making the link part of the TE topology, remote nodes may mistakenly believe that the link is available for MPLS TE or GMPLS, when, in fact, MPLS is not enabled on the link. To address this issue, we simply need to define a new sub-TLV in the TE Link LSAto say whether MPLS/GMPLS/RSVP is enabled on the link instead of moving the TLVs around into different LSAs. 2. The TE Opaque LSA carries link attributes that are not used or required by MPLS TE or GMPLS. There is no mechanism in TE Opaque LSA to indicate which of the link attributes should be passed to MPLS TE application and which should be used by OSPFv2 and other applications. OSPF database is a container and OSPF can use any of the LSAS for its own use including the TE LSAs. As far as the TE database goes, it contains data from TE LSAs as well as non-TE LSAs (Network LSA) today so the reasoning described here doesn’t make sense. 3. Link attributes used for non-TE purposes is partitioned across multiple LSAs - the TE Opaque LSA and the Extended Link Opaque LSA. This partitioning will require implementations to lookup multiple LSAs to extract link attributes for a single link, bringing needless complexity to the OSPFv2 implementations. There will be nodes in the network which will run older software which send these attributes via TE LSAs so the problem of looking into the TE LSAs for TE relatedinformation doesn’t get solved with this draft. Rather it makes it more complicated. With this draft, the multiple LSA lookup will only increase. An implementation will first have to find if Extended link LSA contains the required info, if not it will need to look up the info in TE.LSA. The applications using the TE parameters for non-TE use-cases will use the OSPF Prefix/Link attributes for these use cases. Hence, there is no requirement to lookup the LSAs in multiple places. Backward compatibility will be covered in the specifications of these applications. Thanks, Acee Looking up multiple LSAs for information is an implementation issue and I am sure there will be implementations that will handle this gracefully so that it doesn’t cause delays in critical paths. It doesn’t seem reasonable to come up with protocol extensions to solve implementation issues. Rgds Shraddha
