Jeffrey,
Lots of thanks for a detailed response.
You response seems to indicate that the Replication Segment draft defines the architectural extensions associated with the new type of segment. If so, it does not, from my POV,  introduce them as such in a sufficiently clear and unambiguous way.

Please see also some specific comments inline below.

Sasha

Subject: Re: [spring] The SPRING WG has placed draft-voyer-spring-sr-replication-segment in state "Candidate for WG Adoption"

Dear colleagues,
I would like to clarify why, from my POV, the Replication Segment introduces in this draft requires extensions to SR Architecture as defined in RFC 8402.

1. RFC 8402 states that segments can be global (to an SR Dimain) or local (to a single node that instantiates it), and all segments defined in this document fall into one of these categories. But Replication Segment is neither local nor global: it is instanciated in the Root node and may be instanciated also in the Downstream nodes - but not anywhere else in the SR domain.

Zzh> It is intended for instantiation on any node of a replication tree – root, leaves, and intermediate replication nodes.
[[Sasha]] Sorry, but I do not see that in the draft. The text in Section 2 says:
<quote>
Replication segment is instantiated at Downstream
nodes and at the Replication node.
<end quote>
I admit that the draft uses the term “Replication Node” and not Root node. But, to the best of my understanding, it does not ever mention “intermediate replication nodes”.
And in any case segments that are instantiated at some, but not all nodes of the SR domain is something that the current SR architecture does not cover.

2. RFC 8402 defines 3 operations on the active segment that a node can perform: PUSH, NEXT and CONTINUE. But the operation that is performed by the Root node on the Replication Segment is neither. What's more, it is not even clear to me which operation is performed on this segment by the Root node for each replica of the original packet.

Zzh> On the intermediate replication node[[Sasha]] Please see above , a CONTINUE or NEXT [[Sasha]] From my POV this requires some clarification. E.g., how does the Replication node differentiate between these two possibilities? Can the same Replication Segment be associated with CONTINUE on some branches and with NEXT on some other ones? Can a Replication Segment appear in the list of SIDs to which a Downstream Node is expanded?.  is done on each replicated copy (if the node itself is both a replication node and a leaf node (some people call that a bud node), then NEXT is done on one of the copies) [[Sasha]] Don’t you think that the bud node deserves more explanation in the draft?
Zzh> On the root node, a PUSH is done on each replicated copy. On the leaf node, a NEXT is done.
[[Sasha]] If PUSH is done on each replicated copy, then the Replication Segment will be instantiated in each Downstream Node. But the draft does not say that this is always so IMHO.
Zzh> The replication-segment draft does not currently explicitly use those terms but I see we can/should add them.
[[Sasha]] As I have said already, if the draft introduces extensions to the SR architecture as defined in RFC 8402, it SHOULD build on it explicitly.

As Ketan has noted, the SPRING WG Charter states that the WG can define "New types of segments mapping to forwarding behaviour (e.g., local
ingress replication, local forwarding resources, a pre-existing
replication structure) if needed for new usages".

And goes on saying that this "may require architectural extensions". Which is exactly what I have been looking for - regardless of whether Replication Segment is or is not related to multicast.

Zzh> The replication segment draft is intended for architecture extensions so that replication/multicast can be achieved, but it only focuses on the basic building block (replication segment).
[[Sasha]] This is exactly my problem with the draft: it introduces a new notion that is out of scope of the current SR architecture, but does not explicitly deal with the required architectural extensions. This makes it very difficult to me to reach a clear position with regard to this draft. Architecture extensions can be done in this draft, or in another document, but they should be done explicitly IMHO.
Zzh> Thanks.
Zzh> Jeffrey

What, if anything, did I miss?

Subject: Re: [spring] The SPRING WG has placed draft-voyer-spring-sr-replication-segment in state "Candidate for WG Adoption"

Hi Ketan,
thank you for your suggestion. As you've pointed out, the draft in discussion introduces a new segment type, Replication Segment, to realize p2mp behavior in an SR domain. Looking into RFC 8402, I find the following statement regarding multicast:
6.  Multicast

   Segment Routing is defined for unicast.  The application of the
   source-route concept to Multicast is not in the scope of this
   document.

Hence, I believe, is the valid question to where the possible impact of multicast on the architecture of segment routing should be discussed, described.
I hope that clarifies what has been the topic of discussion on this thread.

Regards,
Greg

Hi Greg/Sasha/All,

I really wonder whether we are talking about the same document anymore. The subject of this thread is https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-voyer-spring-sr-replication-segment-00<https://clicktime.symantec.com/3KY7RjLZXLr1rkewXkXxck56H2?u=https%3A%2F%2Furldefense.com%2Fv3%2F__https%3A%2Fclicktime.symantec.com%2F3AvJoi4kZMCSL1EhyDMKMh36H2%3Fu%3Dhttps%2A3A%2A2F%2A2Ftools.ietf.org%2A2Fhtml%2A2Fdraft-voyer-spring-sr-replication-segment-00__%3BJSUlJSU%218WoA6RjC81c%21XO1YXY6DxdOii7owD9drGm0dmL2XORkOEDc7SKBZ1WM9V1-p0ITi7SK3HOz05MDt%24>

It is indeed possible that you and others are referring to some other document(s)?

From reading of the draft, one can see that :

·  It does not deal with multicast group joins/receivers or senders

·  It does not build multicast trees

·  It does not talk about multicast flows

·  It simply introduces a new type of segment called Replication Segment (p2mp) for a specific local node forwarding behaviour that is in line with the Spring Charter (see below)

o New types of segments mapping to forwarding behaviour (e.g., local
ingress replication, local forwarding resources, a pre-existing
replication structure) if needed for new usages.

Can you please take another quick read over the draft with the above context in mind? I am positive that you will see that this is not getting multicast work in Spring – that is being worked on in other WGs.

Thanks,
Ketan

Dear All,
I concur with Sasha and John. Intended ingress replication of a particular flow, though using a unicast destination address, is still a multicast.

I use a very basic and simple rule of thumb ... if address of my packet is a multicast address then it is multicast if not it is unicast.

Solution as described in draft-voyer-spring-sr-replication-segment does not seems to be requiring multicast addresses hence it is applicable to pure unicast networks.

Thx,
Robert.

Robert,

I’m sorry for the confusion.  My only point was that MVPN provides the reference architecture for dealing w/ multicast using a multiplicity of tunnel types in a consistent manner, as Sasha alluded to in his mention of PMSI.  Your claim that ingress replication is not multicast is, at best, a stretch.

Yours Irrespectively,

Hi John,

> Further, ingress replication has been part of MVPN since forever.

Just curious how is this at all relevant for this discussion ?

Do I have to roll out MVPN monster to split my unicast UDP stream to few receivers at selected network point ?

And last but not least who said this is at all related to "ingress replication" ??? Ingress to p2mp segment can be at any SR midpoint in the network. Are you suggesting to run MVPN apparatus with manual tree building ? Whow :)

Thx,
R.

Subject: Re: [spring] The SPRING WG has placed draft-voyer-spring-sr-replication-segment in state "Candidate for WG Adoption"

Robert,
Lots of thanks for a prompt response.

You seem to imply that a multicast distribution tree that is built, say, by an SDN controller and used, say, to act as a PMSI in the mVPN application, is not really a multicast.  Personally I disagree, but this is a matter of taste and terminology.

What looks unambiguous to me is that:

  *   The WG charter explicitly mentions ingress replication as one of “new types of segments mapping to forwarding behavior” that “may require architectural extensions”
  *   The current architecture document does not cover any such segment type (whether because such segments have been considered as related to multicast by the authors, or for some other reason is not all that important. )
Therefore my concern remains unresolved regardless of whether ingress replication is or is not formally considered as multicast.

Sasha

Sasha,

If I have some content and I send it to you and your neighbour as two unicast streams am I suddenly doing multicast ?

IMHO N number of replicated unicasts is still not a multicast.

Multicast in my definition requires  multicast groups, receiver joins, tree building protocols etc ... and this draft does not suggest any of this. IN contrast it just describes how can we have p2mp unicast distribution ... call it fan out node.

Thx,
R.

Hi all,

I have a question regarding adoption of draft-voyer-sr-spring-replication-segment as a SPRING WG document.



These concerns are based on the following:

1.       This draft (both based on its title and on its content) deals with local (in the Root node) ingress replication which, in its turn, is one of the issues that could be used for delivery of multicast.

2.       Local ingress replication is mentioned in the SPRING WG Charter as one of the “New types of segments mapping to forwarding behavior”. The charter further says that “Any of the above <Sasha: New types of segments> may require architectural extensions”

3.       The current (and, AFAIK, the only existing) Segment Routing Architecture document (RFC 8402<https://clicktime.symantec.com/3N81UkhX23XoNwsjuzVd3zR6H2?u=https%3A%2F%2Furldefense.com%2Fv3%2F__https%3A%2Fclicktime.symantec.com%2F3RCcYJTQUoix9rL8CmszPQ16H2%3Fu%3Dhttps%2A3A%2A2F%2A2Furldefense.com%2A2Fv3%2A2F__https%2A3A%2A2Fclicktime.symantec.com%2A2F34qM9QogJnh1eY5nZPXYAkA6H2%2A3Fu%2A3Dhttps%2A2A3A%2A2A2F%2A2A2Ftools.ietf.org%2A2A2Fhtml%2A2A2Frfc8402__%2A3BJSUlJSU%2A218WoA6RjC81c%2A21TeDGZsCZsxVU3U1A-_hQaYhZsmLZFF4oF-lGSpNnOmTa-zUl6jfGkGEUOvwkLSU%2A24__%3BJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJQ%218WoA6RjC81c%21XO1YXY6DxdOii7owD9drGm0dmL2XORkOEDc7SKBZ1WM9V1-p0ITi7SK3HCjtMYud%24>) explicitly states in Section 6 that “Segment Routing is defined for unicast. The application of the source-route concept to Multicast is not in the scope of this document”.

The combinations of observations above strongly suggests to me that a document defining multicast-related extensions of segment routing architecture should be very useful (if not mandatory) for progressing the Replication Segment draft. From my POV the Replication Segment draft is not (and is not intended to be) such a document.



I wonder if there is an intention to produce such a document in the timeframe that could be relevant for discussion of the Replication Segment draft.



Nothing in this message should be interpreted as my objection to (or support of) adoption of the Replication Segment draft as a WG document per se.

Bit I find it difficult to take a position any which way without a clear and commonly agreed upon framework for multicast in segment routing.

Sasha
