Hi Yali, et al,
thank you for the interesting discussion. I have several questions about the 
purpose of advertising ifit capabilities in IGP (and in general):

  *   Do you see a capability to export telemetry information as a mandatory or 
optional?
What’s the context with this question? Frankly, I did not have a deep well 
thinking on this question. But in our case, I wish it’s mandatory.
GIM>> If it is mandatory, then all nodes in a domain support IFIT and, 
consequently, there's no need to advertise the capability in the homogeneous, 
IFIT-wise, domain. Would you agree?

ZTR>> I am sorry, I did not understand  your question before. Yes, you are 
right. So here we assume that not all nodes support IFIT, and different nodes 
may support different data plane options.

  *   Do you expect that a segment route to be constructed to prefer 
ifit-capable nodes comparing to nodes that are not?
Yes. This is one use case. As my echo to Robert, we want to achieve the SLA 
assurance network. We think the capability for visibility to verify the SLA 
compliance, and also the capability to get the accurate measurement for path 
computation should be considered. Should be considered from the very beginning 
when we compute the path.
GIM>> I understand that IFIT-capability might be used as one of CSPF 
constraints. But, as I think of it, it can simply be discovered in the course 
of running on-path telemetry collection. Would you agree?

ZTR>>We also considered some options for the IFIT-capability discovery. It 
seems what we proposed here is more elegant and straight forward.
Thank you for your kind consideration of my questions.

Regards,
Greg

Hi Acee, Chris and Les,

This is Yali. Many thanks for your kind comments and suggestion.

Besides of signaling MSD by IGP node CAPABILITY TLV, we learned that there's 
another RFC7883 that advertising S-BFD discriminators in IS-IS. In my 
understand, BFD is a protocol to detect faults in the bidirectional path 
between two forwarding engines, including interface, data links, etc.

Similarly, IFIT provides a complete framework of a family of on-path telemetry 
techniques, which are used to monitoring performance metrics of service flows, 
e.g. packet loss, delay. So we consider there's a same methodology with S-BFD 
that advertising IFIT node capabilities.

Please let us know your comments and opinion. Thanks.

Best regards,
Yali

    There is also a difference between some of the existing applications 
advertised in IGP capabilities. For example, MSD is used with the routing 
information to construct SR paths. The information for all these OAM mechanisms 
doesn't share this affinity. Also, it seems like a slippery slope in what is 
needed for each of the mechanism.

        Hi Les,

        Thanks very much for your suggestion. I have a quick look at rfc6823. 
Sounds like a good idea. I will think about it.

        Cheers,
        Tianran

        Tianran -

        I am very much in agreement with the points Chris has made.

        IGPs do not exist to advertise capabilities/configure applications - 
which seems to me to be what you are proposing here.
        The fact that you can easily define the encodings does not make it the 
right thing to do.

        This issue was discussed at length in the context of 
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6823 . If you were proposing to use GENAPP I 
would not object - though I do think Chris has correctly pointed out that 
NETCONF/YANG is likely a more appropriate solution for your use case.

           Les
