Re: [sfc] Fault management in SFC

[Jiangyuanlong <[e-mail]>]

Hi Carlos,

Thanks for your comments. Reusing OAM protocols is also what we are after, but that does not necessarily preclude an SFC encapsulation of OAM message.
We discussed several types of OAM, for example, CC & CV, trace route, PM; it appears these are very basic requirements.

Look forward to discussing more with you on this topic in Toronto.

Thanks,
Yuanlong

Hi, Ramki, Yuanlong,

Thanks for bringing up these two documents! Here's my initial observations:

draft-krishnan-sfc-oam-req-framework:

  *   This document seems to be really thin in actual content.
  *   Removing the introduction, acronyms, and boiler, there's a bit over a page of very generic very high-level requirements.
  *   Although the title says "SFC OAM Requirements and Framework", I do not see text supporting a framework.

draft-jxc-sfc-fm-00:

  *   I am concerned with the creation of a new OAM Protocol in Section 3. SFC architectural documents have a goal of reusing OAM protocols, not re-inventing.
  *   It's not clear of the value of defining a TLV structure when there's no Types. In other words, why draw TLV ASCII diagrams when the requirements and gap analysis are not clear?
  *   The document says things like "BFD can also be used as a tool of proactive CC & CV in SFC.", but then goes on into drawing packets...

I agree this can be a topic for discussions in Toronto.

Thanks,

Carlos.

Hi Sam, Yuanlong, All,

We uploaded a document on the SFC OAM topic yesterday  - this includes requirements besides framework. Given the importance of this topic, guess many of us were working on this in parallel. We should probably get together in Toronto to take the appropriate next steps.

Thanks,

Hi Sam and all,

I'm glad to see your draft on SFC OAM framework, it is a very basic and important piece of work in my view.

We have also uploaded an I-D discussing fault management in SFC, does anyone of you have an interest in this kind of work?
The link to this I-D is:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-jxc-sfc-fm-00

Your opinions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Yuanlong
