[Srcomp] FW: [spring] WG Adoption call - draft-srcompdt-spring-compression-requirement - draft-srcompdt-spring-compression-analysis

[Ron Bonica <[e-mail]>]

Darren,

Could you make these changes to the Introduction of the Requirements Draft?

                                                                     Ron

Dhruv,

Thanks for you review and support.

Does the change below (inline) address your first comment?

Hi,

I support the adoption of both documents.

Thanks for all the effort put in by everyone involved. Few minor comments -

draft-srcompdt-spring-compression-requirement-07


In section 1

It is also a goal of the design team to consider proposals...
The design team will produce a separate document...

Should we still need to mention the design team in the introduction? If some history needs to be maintained, let's put that in the appendix!

The SPRING working group defined SRv6, with [RFC8402] describing how the Segment Routing (SR) architecture is instantiated on two data-planes: SR over MPLS (SR-MPLS) and SR over IPv6 (SRv6).  SRv6 uses a routing header called the SR Header (SRH) [RFC8754] and defines SRv6

SID behaviors and a registry for identifying them in [RFC8986].  SRv6 is a proposed standard and is deployed today.

The SPRING working group has observed that some use cases, such as strict path TE, may require long SRv6 SID lists.  There are several proposed methods to reduce the resulting SRv6 encapsulation size by compressing the SID list.

The SPRING working group formed a design team to define requirements for, and analyze proposals to, compress SRv6 SID lists.

It is a goal of the design team to identify solutions to SRv6 SID list compression that are based on the SRv6 standards.  As such, this document provides requirements for SRv6 SID list compression solutions that utilize the existing SRv6 data plane and control plane.

It is also a goal of the design team to consider proposals that are not based on the SRv6 data plane and control plane.  As such, this document includes requirements to evaluate whether a compression proposal provides all the functionality of SRv6 (section "SRv6 Functionality") in addition to satisfying compression specific requirements.

For each requirement, a description, rationale and metrics are described.

The design team will produce a separate document to analyze the proposals.

This document is a draft; additional requirements are under review, additional requirements will be added, and current requirements may change.  Appendix A contains a subset of requirements without unanimous consensus.  Additional requirements without unanimous consensus are not in the appendix.

This document defines requirements for a SID list compression mechanism. For each requirement, a description, rationale and metrics are provided.

A companion document [draft-srcompdt-spring-compression-analysis] evaluates several compression mechanisms according to compliance with the requirements described by this document.
