comments on the draft of LSP hierarchy



Hi Shiomoto and Adrian,

 

I study through this draft and appreciate that you specify many necessary MLN scenarios that LSP can be used for. Some of them can apply to CTG (composite transport group) scenario. Here are some clarification and questions:

1) When LSP is used for Client/Server Network: the server network sets LSP as private link with one or more client IGP instances; When LSP is used as routing adjacency: the network sets LSP as non-private link with routing adjacency. Is this correct?

2) Should section 2.2 add one more categories: -LSP is used as a component link in a link bundle? The doc. is described it but not considers it as category.

3) A component link in a link bundle has component link identifier. This identifier is the link ID that is advertised in LSA. Is that correct?

4) In section 3.3, it states:

 

   If the B-flag in the Actions field of the LSP_TUNNEL_INTERFACE_ID

   object is set, the other fields of the object apply to the link

   bundle itself. That is, the interface identifiers (numbered or

   unnumbered) and the other flags in the Actions field apply to the

   link bundle and not to the component link that the LSP will form.

 

   Furthermore, the IGP Instance Identifier TLV (if present) also

   applies to the link bundle and not to the component link.

 

It seems odd way to set actions for link bundle. Should we first set the link bundle with the action, then add component link to the link bundle without action?

 

5) LSA should not advertise LSP used as private link. Should this be explicitly stated in section 3.4?

 

6) For CTG scenarios, we create a set of LSPs to form a single composite link to client/server network. We can first create a composite link as a private link with one or more client IGP instances with (at least one component link); then individual component link can be added to and removed from the composite link. Component links are also private link (different from component link in link bundle) and have different TE properties. We can also create composite link for routing adjacency (single IGP case). We need some extension to cover these scenarios. Could we consider adding this into the document?

 

Cheers,
