Re: [spring] WG Adoption Call for draft-dong-spring-sr-for-enhanced-vpn

Hi Adrian,

Just to make sure my point was correctly understood ... I am not
questioning if either data plane or control plane resource reservations
should or should not be done for SR.

What I am questioning is that the draft says:

   When
   compared with RSVP-TE [RFC3209], SR currently does not have the
   capability to reserve network resources or identify different sets of
   network resources reserved for different customers and/or services.

The crux of the matter is that RFC3209 DOES NOT reserve anything in the
data plane of any network element while this spec clearly intends to.
RSVP-TE keeps all reservations in control plane counters only.
Constrained based path computation/selection happens based on those
control plane information. (Yes nearly 20 years after this feature shipped
I am still meeting people who believe otherwise :).

So to start I recommend we remove any reference to RSVP-TE as this is
purely not applicable to what this document is trying to accomplish.

I admit I did not follow all the recent advancements in TEAS nor in DETNET
as far as actually reserving data plane resources in data plane for some
traffic types. If authors want to build a solution with that - by all means
green light and full speed ahead - market will decided - especially when it
will really understand the cost :) But let's make sure the document is
crystal clear on what building blocks it is talking about.

Best,
R.
