Dear RTGWG, We have made significant updates to the MRT algorithm and architecture drafts which can be found at the links below. https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-rtgwg-mrt-frr-algorithm-06 https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-rtgwg-mrt-frr-architecture-07
Below is summary of the main changes. draft-ietf-rtgwg-mrt-frr-algorithm-06: 1) We found some topologies involving named proxy nodes attached to two different blocks, where the function for determining MRT next-hops for named proxy nodes in the -05 version of the draft does not produce disjoint paths to the named proxy node. The -06 version of the draft modifies the Select_Proxy_Node_NHs() and Select_Alternates_Proxy_Node() functions to correct this. 2) The Python code included in the draft has been extended to cover the case of multi-homed prefixes as well as destination nodes outside of the MRT Island, using the updated versions of the Select_Proxy_Node_NHs() and Select_Alternates_Proxy_Node() functions. The updated Python code can also be found on github at: https://github.com/cbowers/draft-ietf-rtgwg-mrt-frr-algorithm/blob/master/src/mrt_lowpoint_draft_text.py 3) The -05 version of the draft had a TODO item to address how the MRT algorithm works when there are broadcast interfaces. The -06 version adds a new section to address broadcast interfaces. 4) In the -06 version, we added cases to Select_Alternates() to handle cases where F (the failed primary next-hop node) is unordered with respect to S(the PLR). This can occur when the link between F and S is signaled to be MRT_INELIGIBLE. draft-ietf-rtgwg-mrt-frr-architecture-07 1) The -07 version of the architecture draft changes the method for determining if an Island Neighbor is loop-free with respect to the MRT Island. The new version is described in the text, as well as a comparison with the method in the -06 version. 2) The IANA requests for MRT red and blue MPLS MT-IDs were moved back to draft-ietf-mpls-ldp-mrt since it makes more sense for a document in the MPLS WG to contain the IANA request for values from a registry created by the MPLS WG. We appreciate any feedback from the WG on these changes.
