Yes, we do have discussions over RIFT where it seems a multi-plane or if you want multi-topology concept as introduced originally in RFC5120 would be helpful. RIFT can be very easily instantiated on multiple ports and with that has no problem to run multi-instance/topology but the dataplane correlation from the leaf would be very helpful. RIFT leaf implementation is very "thin" and with that architectures that don't rely on either LOC-ID or BGP overlays become feasible, albeit obviously not @ the scale something like 2547bis or EVPN can operate.
So in short, I think I support this suggestion fully. For the practical encoding, I suggest to choose TID=0 as "default topology", i.e. "what you do today" and avoid an I bit which will cause an encoding corner case if it's not set but TID<>0? >From experience, 8 bits is just about enough but 12 bits are plenty for # of topologies people sometimes think they need on building network architectures ... my 2c ... --- tony On Thu, Apr 12, 2018 at 7:23 AM, Pascal Thubert (pthubert) < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi again > > > > A proposed text would be like: > > > > > > 0 1 2 3 > > 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 > > +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ > > | Type | Length | Status | Opaque | > > +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ > > | Rsvd | I |R|T| TID | Registration Lifetime | > > +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ > > | | > > ...
