I would like to echo my support for this work and encourage others to speak up. JL's suggestion to extend this to additionally include total LSP count makes a great deal of sense. IMO, it would be much better for providers to have this tool in their toolbox than not. Consider the impacts of telcom industry consolidation and Inter-provider MPLS Partnerships - the equipment we may support tomorrow or network access we may extend services over may not have the same capabilities as our own. Providing total count would allow a complete state view of the network enabling flexibility for LERs to not only distribute temporarily unaccounted traffic and associated risk more fairly per transmission path, but also (potentially) skew state allocation per link /size/ or even router type. As an example, a network might posses multiple candidate paths over dissimilar sized (or capability) line cards (use ZBTE metric and link size to weight selection) or between LSRs of varied state processing capability (use ZBTE and affinity or SRLG). Some of the problems providers may have weeded out in the lab may show up welded to our networks or our service in some way shape or form. If it seems irrelevant internally we need to remember to think about the bigger picture.

Dear WG, Right after the presentation this morning, it was suggested to gather feed-back on the usefulness of this ID before moving forward. I got some feed-back off-line and on-line (Kenji - KDDI). Could you tell me whether you think that it is worth being pursed ? Send comments if any. Thanks. JP. _______________________________________________ mpls mailing list mpls@lists.ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/mpls _______________________________________________ mpls mailing list mpls@lists.ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/mpls |
