Hi Amal and Himanshu,

Related to the Q&A during last meeting and the following paragraph in 
draft-karboubi-spring-sidlist-optimized-cs-sr

"We assume these changes are done during maintenance-windows and under the 
supervision of an SDN controller and can be coordinated with the PCE directly."

I think we should have a discussion on what (new or existing) protocol 
mechanisms can be used to eliminate any dependency on human intervention or a 
proprietary SDN controller function for coordinating link up events with the 
PCE to ensure traffic is never forwarded outside the intended path.

The use case(s) of your proposal seem quite specific and the approach fairly 
different to the general solution defined in draft-ietf-spring-cs-sr-policy, so 
I think it is better to keep this work separate.

cheers
Christian

Tagging Ketan, Zafar, Christian and Andrew – who provided some feedback in the 
previous IETF meetings on this draft.
We believe we have addressed their comments/concerns and would appreciate their 
feedback on such, in order to make progress.

If there is no further input, we would assume that proposal is good-to-go and 
ask for WG adoption.

@Christian Schmutzer (cschmutz)<mailto:cschmutz=40cisco....@dmarc.ietf.org> 
/others/all – Would like your opinion on to pursue this work with consolidation 
to your draft or as separate activity.


Thanks,
Himanshu

Subject: Clarifications for draft-karboubi-spring-sidlist-optimized-cs-sr-00.txt
Hello,

We have presented draft 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-karboubi-spring-sidlist-optimized-cs-sr/ 
[datatracker.ietf.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-karboubi-spring-sidlist-optimized-cs-sr/__;!!OSsGDw!JuOOWdWJpAKFPyfqzj8D3LWBSpQuSOjTNxgPYzaQbKQuSSH0geOrNV4dqy5Abzvk00UOD8PTJONfl3da0JlA$>
 in Brisbane last month and would like to continue discussion on mailing list 
and address few concerns that were raised during the presentation.


  1.  Dealing with TI-LFA during fiber-cut/link failures: the idea is to have 
head end detect end-to-end failures before any local repair / IP convergence 
occurs. One way to achieve / implement this is to have the CCV protocol (e.g. 
S-BFD or STAMP) run for these SR Policies at a lower interval than the IP link 
BFD. This will not impact non-CS SR policies which will continue to benefit 
from TI-LFA local repairs with same detection/repair time as before. Note that 
CCV is mandatory for CS SR policies, so the only new addition we are imposing 
is regarding its detection timer (i.e. inverted hierarchical fault detection – 
e2e fault is detected before 1-hop fault).
  2.  There was concern about double failures : This is dependent on 
protection/ restoration scheme the operator may choose,  Traditional SR-Policy 
schemes can handle multiple failure by using N (where N>2) candidate paths , 
The proposed draft leverages the same.
  3.  There was concern about operational complexity : We believe the concern 
about operational complexity is misplaced. The proposed scheme provides simpler 
controller/node interaction as compared to sprinkling BSIDs throughout the 
network to handle MSD capacity of each node. We have successfully implemented 
and deployed the solution with a few utility providers that has complex 
networks. In fact, BSID was the first approach we looked in to and soon 
discovered that we needed simpler solution.


Please let us know if further details/clarifications are required or if I 
missed some of your concerns. Looking fwd to discussing this further.

Thanks,
Amal.
