Yeah, thanks Robert.

 

Actually, removing the comparison with other protocols is probably wise. This is a document describing how to do stuff with SR. In that context we don’t need to talk about the benefits or limitations of other protocols.

 

To your 3209 comments: I believe that *some* implementations have pushed the “reservation” into the data plane so that in-network policing is performed to conform data flows with reservations or, at least, ensure that the parts of any flow that exceed reservation are treated as best effort. But this is an aside to the discussion of the draft at hand.

 

I think that the document should note that the SR control plane does not currently have the capability to make reservations (in the control plane) at the network nodes. This can be achieved using a central controller to keep tabs on all resource accounting, and it could use a southbound interface to install that information in the (management/control parts of the) network nodes.

 

Cheers,

Adrian

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.

Thanks, Jim,

 

I’ve been following the enhanced VPN work in TEAS and I see it as a key piece of the network slicing work.

 

It’s time that we had some protocol solutions that serve the VPN framework, and this is a suitable starting point. I like that it is not specifying additional protocol widgets but has looked at what we already have and is pointing up ways to use those tools to deliver new function.

 

I see Robert’s point about the resource reservation aspects of traffic engineering applied to an SR network, but this is not an insurmountable problem. The question might be asked, “Why would you want to do that?” but that is a question that (as Yakov would have said) the market can decide. It seems that there are a couple of vendors and a couple of operators who have an interest.

 

So I think we should adopt this draft and see whether we can turn it into something that has great utility.

 

Cheers,

Adrian

Dear WG:

 

This message starts a 2 week WG adoption call for https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-dong-spring-sr-for-enhanced-vpn/ ending February 10th 2021.

 

After review of the document please indicate support (or not) for WG adoption to the mailing list and if you are willing to work on the document, please state this explicitly. This gives the chairs an indication of the energy level of people in the working group willing to work on this document. Please also provide comments/reasons for your support (or lack thereof) as this is a stronger way to indicate your (non) support as this is not a vote.

 

Thanks!

 

Jim, Bruno & Joel
