Do you mean by North-South management protocols, which usually needs a 
centralized controller? PASP is designed to transmit O&M information between 
devices. It is a non-centralized east-west protocol.

And I agree with you about the difference between venders and operating 
systems. That is actually part of the reason why we want an “assisting 
protocol” by which different route protocols could announce general O&M 
information in a uniform way. That could better assist the use of such 
management tools and will be great relief for O&M personnel.

Thanks,
Zhen

Hi,

But this is what every decently operating NOC is already doing today. They have 
bunch of tools external or home grown which go and query the network for 
specific information.

I am not clear why do we need a new protocol for this.

Note this is massive undertaking to keep track of what can be received across 
zoo of vendors and even within each vendor variants of operating systems.

Best,
R.

Hi,

I have two questions:

1.

Draft says that triggering the action is an event which in defined by 
configuration: "configured troubleshooting triggering condition."

If so that only covers very small subset of possible anomalies. Moreover this 
would only cover anomalies which are known apriori.

[T.Z.]: The initial purpose of this protocol is to obtain network-wide O&M 
information when a network failure occurs, which helps locate the failure. 
Besides the pre-configured condition, which triggers automatically, O&M 
personal could actively request more information of other devices, with PASP. 
More use-cases will be updated to the draft later this week.

2.

The draft focuses on control plane troubleshooting. Well most protocols have 
build in mechanisms for that. Instead most interesting failures are happening 
not in control plane but in data plane. So do you plan to refocus or add 
ability to self trigger actions based on various data plane events ?

[T.Z.]: Thank you for your advice. For now, we're focused on troubleshooting of 
control plane. The data plane scenario is a good direction for future expansion.

Many thx,
Robert
