Weibin,

Your analysis is absolutely correct. If you believe that  node segments provide point-to-point connectivity, node SIDs have local significance only. If you believe that node segments provide multipoint-to-point connectivity, node SIDs have global significance.

This distinction is sufficiently subtle that it confuses most readers. So, in the next draft version, I *will not* say that all SIDs have local significance only. Instead, I will say:

- Adjacency SIDs have node-local significance
- In order to simplify network operations, node SIDs are assigned in a manner that gives them global significance. Namely, all segments terminating at the same node are identified by the same SID.

Does this work for you?

                                                                              Ron

Hi Ron:

Thank u for your explanation in detail, I fully agreed on what you said from SID's different perspective. You have offered new idea for Segment.

The key reason why I previously raised the different opinion to your Node-local significance of all type of SID is my understanding of segment. It only based on my understanding and I am sure it may not wrong.

Though it is NOT important in your SRv6+ work, but I still have to describe my understanding to Segment, May be wrong.
If only consider the Node segment (i.e. corresponding to prefix SID), I think it only represent one Node itself, like loopback@ (/32) advertisement in standard IGP flooding procedure, loopback@ represent router itself, (such as OSPF, carried in router LSA), every other router receiving the router LSA will calculate the least cost path to advertising router, we are consistent that saying the loopback@ is unique and global significance, it should not be thought as Node-local significance from every receiving router perspective; back to SR context, so every other router receiving the IGP extension advertisement with Node SID TLV also calculate the least cost path to advertising router, in fact, from the two flooding procedure perspective, the behavior of all receiving routers are same, that is computing the path to Node which is represented by loopback@ or Node SID. 

So in your case, 25 segments (B-A/.../Z-A) in fact only represent a path to Node A respectively, the same segment SID represent B-A ... or Z-A, I think the way of saying is not full precise, the node SID only represent the Node itself, the specific action or behavior at every Node is up to every other node, so in my understanding, the meaning of Node SID equal loopback@, Like Loopback@ (/32) only represent Node A itself, it doesn't itself identify path between other Node to Node A. and I think it is easy to understand in normal SRv6 context, it is full clear that the format of Node SID equal IPv6@ in normal SRv6 context, so easy acceptable that the Node-SID is domain-wide significance, because the IPv6@ is domain-wide unicast.

Thanks

Hi Wang,

I think that we are in agreement about how thing actually work. For example, assume the following:

- An SRv6+ domain contains Nodes A-Z
- On Node A, an network operator configures a node segment endpoint and associates the node segment endpoint with SID A
- IS-IS floods the node segment endpoint and SID throughout the IGP domain
- Node B builds Node Segment B-A and associates SID A with that segment 
- Node C builds Node Segment C-A and associates SID A with that segment 
- And so on until Node Z builds Node Segment Z-A and associates SID A with that segment 

I think that our disagreement is whether SID A, above, is a global SID or a node local SID. 

If you think that a SID identifies a segment, then it is node-local. This is because a single SID (i.e., A) identifies 25 different segments (i.e., Segments B-A through Z-A). 

If you think that a SID identifies an instruction that a) can be instantiated on multiple nodes and b) forwards a packet from the node upon which it is instantiated to Node A, then t is global.

Whether we call the SID local or global is really secondary, so long as we agree on how things work. If the text confuses the WG, I would be happy to change it.

                                                                                                                       Ron

Ron:

I still feel that all SID (including adj SID as well as Node SID) is node-local significance in your SRv6+ draft May be a problem, even if you has explained it previously.

>From my understanding, the Node SID (for loopback@) must be global significance in SR-enabled domain, so that every Node within SRv6 domain can find the least cost path to the other Node which advertising its Node segment in IGP extension, every Node has its Node-segment and adj-segments for itself, these SIDs must be assigned by Node itself, not by other Nodes within SR-enabled domain.

>From example described in section "5.1 Range" in your draft, I deduced, within SR domain, each node must assign independently a unique SID or more for other every Node from its perspective, for example, for Node 100, Node 1 can assign Node SID#11 to the Node 100, and Node 3 can assign Node SID#13 to Node 100, it means that Node 1 is segment ingress node for SID 11 whose instruction correspond to going to Node 100 via least cost path, Node 3 is segment ingress node for SID 13 to Node 100, following this way, How the ingress PE node calculate the E2E SR path within domain, because the ingress PE must know all different Segment SIDs assigned by every Node from its perspective, that is to say, in your case, one Node must receive 4999*4999 Node SIDs, 4999 for each Node, in order to achieve this goal, every Node must advertise all other Nodes' Node segments assigned by itself from its perspective, but it may be not possible, because each node has to advertise lots of SIDs in IGP extension
 , it is complex.

Although a good SIDs assigning way described in section "5.3 Assigning SIDs to Node segments", but meaning of this way in fact is not same as your essential meaning of your section 5.1.  in fact you have used the global significance of SID, and each Node assign SID to itself and in further advertising it in IGP extension.

A new version of I-D, draft-bonica-spring-srv6-plus-05.txt
has been successfully submitted by Ron Bonica and posted to the IETF repository.

Name:		draft-bonica-spring-srv6-plus
Revision:	05
Title:		IPv6 Support for Segment Routing: SRv6+
Document date:	2019-08-28
Group:		Individual Submission
Pages:		23
 

Abstract:
   This document describes SRv6+. SRv6+ is a Segment Routing (SR)
   solution that leverages IPv6.  It supports a wide variety of use-
   cases while remaining in strict compliance with IPv6 specifications.
   SRv6+ is optimized for ASIC-based forwarding devices that operate at
   high data rates.
