Dear All, after reviewing draft-hegde-spring-node-protection-for-sr-te-paths I've got a question to ask Where a trigger for the protection switchover in SR-MPLS will come from? The draft discusses methods to provide local link and node protection. Obviously, the protection is triggered by the detection of the failure. The document refers to Section 5.2 RFC 8679 in which relationships between the defect detection mechanism used and the scope of protection (link or node) are discussed. RFC 8679 is MPLS-centric and, though not explicitly referenced, BFD over MPLS LSP (RFC 5884) can be used as the defect detection mechanism. To the best of my knowledge, SPRING WG doesn't have a WG document describing defect detection mechanism in an SR-MPLS network. Hence my question in the subject line. Of course, not having a solution does not affect the value of draft-hegde-spring-node-protection-for-sr-te-paths but it probably would stand out as the more comprehensive solution if the specification of the defect detection in SR-MPLS was produced by the SPRING WG soon after.
Regards, Greg
