Hi Tony,
Regarding to the issues/problems you mentioned for flooding reduction
(using distributed algorithm), can you give some more details?
Best Regards,
Huaimo

Subject: Re: [Lsr] LSR Flooding Reduction Drafts - Moving Forward
I do think it is a good idea in a sense to somehow outline WHAT problem is
being solved via some write-down or mind-melt
a) I hope it's captured in the meeting notes but otherwise running the danger
of repeating myself, the problem splits along the line of "directed graphs"
(basically lattices) which DC topologies are today and generic graphs. In first
case problem can be solved quite well (Pascal's idea based loosely on MANET in
RIFT that could be stretched to flat flooding as well), in 2nd it's much harder.
b) Beside pure reduction, aspects like redundancy of the resulting mesh(es),
minimal-cut properties and load balancing aspects emerge from practical pursuit
of the problem (let's not even mention the dynamic re-convergence problems no
matter whether some centralized instance floods or async distributed algorithm
is run). Hence the scope or scopes of what needs being done seems prudent.
c) ultimately, other things like link properties and resulting meshes play a
big role (MANET). In sparse networks we lived quite well without reduction but
MANET/DSR had to deal with it already AFAIR & IP fabric seem to cause a
different variation of the limitation to rear its head

In the discussions which led to the creation of LSVR and RIFT WGs, considerable
interest was expressed in working on enhancements to existing Link State
protocols. You can peruse the dcrouting mailing list archives.
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/dcrouting/
It is rather befuddling to me that the IETF seems to have decided to move
forward on two new protocols (no objection from me) but seems to feel there is
insufficient reason to move forward on proposals to extend existing IGPs.
I think the suggestion that we need to write (yet another) requirements
document before doing so is a recipe for delay – not for progress.
Multiple drafts have been presented over the course of the past two years and
discussed on the list as well.
In the case of two of the drafts:
draft-shen-isis-spine-leaf-ext
draft-li-dynamic-flooding
WG adoption was requested in Montreal..
Please explain why we cannot proceed with “business as usual” as regards these
drafts.

+1 Tony
We could start with a document, similar to dc-routing requirements one we did
in RTGWG before chartering RIFT and LSVR.
Would help to disambiguate requirements from claims and have apple to apple
comparison.
Doing it on github was a good experience.

Jeff

At IETF 102, there was no dearth of flooding reduction proposals. In fact, we
have so many proposals that there wasn’t agree as how to move forward and we
agreed to discuss on the list. This Email is to initiate that discussion (which
I intend to participate in but as a WG member).
Hi Acee,
Perhaps a useful starting point of the discussion is to talk about
requirements. There seem to many different perceptions..
Regards,
Tony
