Hi Bruno,

I haven't responded to your comments since it required reading \
https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-mpls-spring-entropy-label-04.txt. I've now re-read \
it and I do not agree with you that it restricts RLD to be used for EL \
load-balancing. While the draft discusses this application, it certain doesn't \
restrict usage. I've copied the authors explicitly for verification (although they \
seem to have remained reticent heretofore ;^). The relevant sentence is:

" This limitation expressed in terms of the number of label stack entries

   that the LSR can read is defined as the Readable Label Depth (RLD)
   capability of that LSR."

This sounds pretty generic to me.

Thanks,
Acee

Hi,

Agree with Acee that RLD should be generic and not tied to EL processing and load \
balancing in Forwarding plane. It is very much possible that an LSR has policies and  \
is capable of using ip headers and will load balance on ip headers for MPLS packets \
but still advertises RLD. [Bruno] I agree with you that load balancing is more \
complex than what is covered by RLD. Yet, although \
draft-ietf-mpls-spring-entropy-label does not cover the full picture, they have valid \
use of the RLD as their goal is to add additional EL, ELI in case the label stack is \
greater than RLD. In such case, the LSR is never capable of load-balancing based on \
the IP header. RLD may be tied to load-balancing and still cover the generic case, \
including your point, with the following definition: If the label stack is smaller \
                than the RLD, load-balancing is either performed on:
- the IP/encapsulated header
- the EL within the RLD
- all the labels in the RLD.

The issue with not tying RLD to load-balancing behavior, is that some plateform are \
capable of reading N labels, but will do the load-balancing only based on the \
_single_ inner label. Such behavior would defeat the RLD usage done by \
draft-ietf-mpls-spring-entropy-label. And it's not hypothetical and I can provide \
real name/example off line  (although AFAIK Juniper Trio does hash using all labels, \
this is not universal)

Keeping it generic also has the advantage that RLD can be used for future use-cases.
[Bruno] We are advertising a single value hence a single meaning. Either all use \
cases need this exact meaning and they can share the same IGP advertisement. Or they \
don't. As expressed above, if the RLD is not tied to load-balancing behavior, I don't \
think that it will be a good fit for draft-ietf-mpls-spring-entropy-label, which has \
defined it. Plus we don't know the would-be future use-cases, so it's hard to discuss \
about them, and to compromise for them. To accommodate both points, I'd rather \
propose that the OSPF document advertise both values/meanings: the generic RLD and \
the RLD tied to load-balancing behavior. The cost would be minimal (1 octet), \
especially compared to the TLV encoding overhead (4 octets). Also, future use case \
may also extend this RLD advertisement latter on, thanks to the TLV extensibility. \
But this would require that this ospf draft allows it, by allowing a length greater \
than 1, and defining the RLD to be encoded in the first octet. Bottom line, there \
seem to be some options to accommodate all points of view/usage.

Regards,

Hi Bruno,



Could you please explain why the defination of the RLDC should be specific to the LB \
behavior of the transit LSR?

[Bruno] The whole purpose of EL and ELC is to improve load balancing of MPLS packets \
on transit LSR.

According to  6 of your draft, RLDC is also used to improve load-balancing : "The \
RLDC is used by ingress LSRs  to determine whether it's necessary to insert an EL for \
a given LSP  tunnel in the case where there has already been at least one EL in
   the label stack.  



What would be the point for the ingress to add an additional EL, within the RLDC of \
LSR A, if LSR A do not use this EL to improve the load balancing?

cf my example below where a LSR can read 5 labels, yet do not use those 5 labels for \
the load-balancing hence would not benefit from adding an EL within those 5 labels.

BTW, it would be useful for the discussion if you could reply to the content of my \
email sent: Monday, November 14, 2016 (also included below). As this was already the \
second time I send this example on the OSPF mailing list.








If I understand correctly, it seems that the text proposed by you conflict with \
Acee's take (see blow):


"   1. The standards track IGP drafts should have a precise definition of RLD and so \
not require a normative reference to the MPLS entropy draft (which is informational). \
The IGP drafts need not precisely specify how the information is used - this can be \
specified via a reference to the MPLS draft.  2. The MPLS draft should precisely \
specify the initial use case of entropy label insertion at the ingress of the LSP. It \
should not limit the applicability of RLDC to this use case. "

[Bruno] I'm not seeing any conflict. I agree with both points. In this thread, I'm \
working on 1, i.e. having a clear definition of RLD.  But I would also like that this \
RLD advertisement be effective in improving the load-balancing of MPLS packets.

I think Readable Label Depth (RLD) should be independent of EL Capability (ELC). It \
allows advertisement of the the maximum number of labels an OSPF router will examine \
in a received MPLS encapsulated packet.  If an OSPF Router supports ELC, it would \
imply that it support the EL Capability within RLD labels. [Bruno] Would work for me, \
assuming that this is stated in the document, and :s/support the EL Capability within \
RLD labels/for load-balancing purpose, use the EL within RLD labels. I would propose \
the following text: "RLDC is the maximum number of labels, from the top of the stack, \
where the MPLS transit LSR searches for the ELI,EL pair and load-balance based on the \
EL if present."

I would completely decouple the two capabilities. Here is the text I would recommend.

The Readable Label Depth (RLD) is the maximum number of labels, starting with top or \
first label in the stack, that an LSR can examine in a received MPLS packet.  The \
supported RLD can be important when searching for an entropy label for purpose of \
load-balancing as the <ELI, EL> pair must be included in the first RLD labels in the \
stack.

[Bruno] What would you use this RLD information for?
Current OSPF draft proposes to use it to make a decision on whether/where adding an \
additional ELI, EL pairs in the stack of labels. But if we don't know whether that \
additional EL, within the RLD, will be used for load-balancing purpose, the ingress \
can't know whether adding this ELI, EL is useful or not. Since we are in a context \
where the number of labels that can be pushed is limited, we may be wasting 2 label \
push for zero benefit.

As the name would imply, Entropy Label Capability (ELC) would be used to determine if \
the LSR supports load-balancing. The RLD capability, also as as the name would imply, \
would be used solely to determine the number of labels an LSR will read. [Bruno3] \
"read" is one thing but it does not say much about the result/behavior. That's why \
I'm calling for "read and use" or "use" for short.

If you want to restrict the capability to the entropy label usage then an appropriate \
moniker would be the ELRD (Entropy Label Readable Depth). However, I see no reason to \
restrict it or attempt to tie load balancing to the depth an LSR can read (other than \
the former is constrained by the latter). The Entropy Label behavior can be fully \
defined by the Entropy Label Capability (ELC). Please view this in terms of \
capability modularity without allowing the details of two capabilities to be mix.

[Xiaohu] Concur.

[Bruno3] you concur on "I see no reason to [..] attempt to tie load balancing to the \
depth an LSR can read"? The draft seems to say otherwise:

-  1 "This capability, referred to
   as Readable Label Deepth Capability (RLDC) can be used by ingress
   LSRs to determine whether it's necessary to insert an EL for a given
   LSP tunnel in the case where there has already been at least one EL
   in the label stack \
[I-D.ietf-mpls-spring-entropy-label<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ospf-mpls-elc-03#ref-I-D.ietf-mpls-spring-entropy-label>] \
"

 6 "The RLDC is used by ingress LSRs
   to determine whether it's necessary to insert an EL for a given LSP
   tunnel in the case where there has already been at least one EL in
   the label stack.  

[Xiaohu1] Is the following updated text OK to you?

5.  Advertising RLDC Using OSPF

   A new TLV within the body of the OSPF RI LSA, called RLDC TLV is
   defined to advertise the capability of the router to read the maximum
   label stack depth.  As showed in Figure 2, it is formatted as
   described in Section 2.3 of [RFC7770] with a Type code to be assigned
   by IANA and a Length of one.  The Value field is set to the maximum
   readable label stack depth in the range between 1 to 255.  The scope
   of the advertisement depends on the application but it is RECOMMENDED
   that it SHOULD be domain-wide.  If a router has multiple linecards
   with different capabilities of reading the maximum label stack
   deepth, the router MUST advertise the smallest one in the RLDC TLV.
   This TLV is applicable to both OSPFv2 and OSPFv3.

6.  Usage and Applicability

   The ELC is used by ingress LSRs to determine whether an EL could be
   inserted into a given LSP tunnel.  The RLDC may be used by ingress LSRs
   to determine whether it's necessary to insert an EL for a given LSP
   tunnel in the case where there has already been at least one EL in
   the label stack.  This document only describes how to signal the ELC
   and RLDC using OSPF.  As for how to apply those capabilities when
   inserting EL(s) into LSP tunnel(s), it's outside the scope of this

   document and accordingly would be described in
   [I-D.ietf-mpls-spring-entropy-label].

Best regards,
Xiaohu

If this is not what you mean, please update the draft to reflect this. Also note that \
changing this would significantly impact \
[I-D.ietf-mpls-spring-entropy-label<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ospf-mpls-elc-03#ref-I-D.ietf-mpls-spring-entropy-label>] \
because they use the same term RLD to mean something different. And they use it \
specifically to influence the load-balancing behavior.



Am I the only one who thinks this is obvious?



think ELC should be defined in RFC 6790 and the SPRING Entropy label draft as opposed \
to the IGP advertisement drafts. [Bruno] I tend to agree that the definition of RLD, \
or the load-balancing behavior of a transit LSR supporting EL, would be better \
specified by the MPLS WG. Then the value advertised by control plane \
protocols/signaling. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7325#section-2.4.5 talks about \
this, but the document is informational, and the text is a bit too large/ open to \
have the LSR behavior advertised in the IGP using a single integer. But this option \
may delay a lot the IGP draft, unless it is splitted in 2 parts (as ELC is ready). \
Alternatively, I'm ok with your above proposition.

Why can't we simply use the definition of entropy processing included in RFC 6790 \
section 4? [Bruno] Basically, section 4.3 says that the LSR can load-balance based on \
whatever it wants, and not necessarily based on the EL label. If it does not use the \
EL label, there is no point in the ingress trying to add additional ELI,EL labels \
within the RLD of this LSR.

I'd say that a router supporting ELC recognizes the <ELI, EL> label in the first RLD \
labels and MAY load-balance as described in RFC 6790. An OSPF document should not \
update the MPLS data plane behavior. [Bruno3] I agree that an OSPF document should \
not update the MPLS data plane behavior. ELC is defined in RFC 6790 as the capability \
of the egress (of the LSP/segment). It does not advertise any transit capability. \
(Now we could argue that a sensible implementation would implement both features at \
the same time, but I would not a priori bet on this for all implementation, \
especially since those are two different forwarding plane capabilities and some \
hardware could be able to do one and not the other)

I get it that you want an LSR capability that indicates that it MUST load-balance \
based on an entropy label within the first RLD labels. However, shouldn't this \
forwarding plane behavior be defined in MPLS rather than the IGPs? If the MPLS WG \
won't engage in this definition, perhaps this should be defined in \
https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-mpls-spring-entropy-label-04.txt – I believe you \
have some leverage here  ;^) and it certainly isn't within the charter of the OSPF or \
ISIS WGs.

[Xiaohu] Agree. As per RFC6790, the ingress of a given LSP doesn't know whether or \
not intermediate LSRs along that LSP could perform EL-based load-balancing when \
inserting EL/ELI under that LSP. The ingress just "assumes" that all or partial \
intermediate LSRs could perform EL-based LB.

[Bruno3] No. RFC 6790 makes no assumption on transit LSR behavior. e.g. "Transit LSRs \
MAY operate with no change in forwarding behavior."

And there is no issue with RFC 6790. The issue is related to the RLD usage made by \
[I-D.ietf-mpls-spring-entropy-label<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ospf-mpls-elc-03#ref-I-D.ietf-mpls-spring-entropy-label>]


--Bruno

When you look the stacked LSP tunnel in the MPLS SR case as a stack of LSPs that \
share the same ingress, things become much simpler. The principles used in RFC6790 \
should be applicable to the MPLS-SR case as well. That's to say, the ingress of a \
given tier LSP (i.e., a node segment) within the stacked LSP tunnel just needs to \
assume that all or partial intermediate LSRs could perform EL-based LB as well. More \
specially, there is no need for the ingress to "know" whether intermediate LSRs are \
capable of performing EL-based LB. Even assume that the ingress of a given LSP knows \
that some intermediate LSRs of that LSP don't support EL-based LB, should it insert \
EL/ELI or not?

Best regards,
Xiaohu



Which is the purpose of advertising the RLD (AFAIK).

It is one usage of RLD – however, the maximum number of labels an LSR can examine \
must not be inextricably tied to the Entropy Label processing. [Bruno3] It's \
currently the only usage, so I'd rather have the RLD useful for this usage. If there \
are more usages, we may take them into account. But there is not free lunch: if we \
want to advertise 2 (slightly) different thing, we'll need to advertise two \
capabilities)

Why doesn't this work?

   1. The RLD defines the maximum number of labels that an MPLS LSR is able to read.
   2. The ELC defines an MPLS LSR's Entropy Label load-balancing and entropy label \
popping capabilities with the constraint that the LSR will only look at the first RLD \
labels.

Happy Thanksgiving,
Acee

<div><br>
</div>
<div>I haven't responded to your comments since it required reading&nbsp;<a \

I've now re-read it and I do not agree  with you that it restricts RLD to be used for \
EL load-balancing. While the draft discusses this application, it certain doesn't \
restrict usage. I've copied the authors explicitly for verification (although they \
seem to have remained reticent heretofore ;^).  The relevant sentence is:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>&quot;<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"> \
This</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: \

entries</span></div> <pre>   that the LSR can read is defined as the Readable Label \
Depth (RLD)  capability of that LSR.&quot;</pre>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This sounds pretty generic to me.&nbsp;</div>

style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, \

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, \
sans-serif;">[Bruno] I agree with you that load balancing is more complex than what \
is covered by RLD. Yet, although draft-ietf-mpls-spring-entropy-label does not cover \
the  full picture, they have valid use of the RLD as their goal is to add additional \
EL, ELI in case the label stack is greater than RLD. In such case, the LSR is never \
capable of load-balancing based on the IP header.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p \
class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, \
sans-serif;">RLD may be tied to load-balancing and still cover the generic case, \
including your point, with the following definition:<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p \
class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, \
sans-serif;">If the label stack is smaller than the RLD, load-balancing is either \
performed on:<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" \
style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">- the IP/encapsulated \
header<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" \
style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">- the EL within the \
RLD<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: \
11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">- all the labels in the \
RLD.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: \
11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p> <p \
class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, \
sans-serif;">The issue with not tying RLD to load-balancing behavior, is that some \
plateform are capable of reading N labels, but will do the load-balancing only based \
on  the _<i>single</i>_ inner label. Such behavior would defeat the RLD usage done by \
draft-ietf-mpls-spring-entropy-label. And it's not hypothetical and I can provide \
real name/example off line &nbsp;(although AFAIK Juniper Trio does hash using all \
labels, this is  not universal)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, \
sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p> <p \
class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, \
sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">Keeping it generic also has the advantage that \
RLD can be used for future use-cases.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p \
class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, \
sans-serif;">[Bruno] We are advertising a single value hence a single meaning. Either \
all use cases need this exact meaning and they can share the same IGP advertisement.  \
Or they don't. As expressed above, if the RLD is not tied to load-balancing behavior, \
I don't think that it will be a good fit for draft-ietf-mpls-spring-entropy-label, \
which has defined it. Plus we don't know the would-be future use-cases, so it's hard \
to  discuss about them, and to compromise for them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, \
sans-serif;">To accommodate both points, I'd rather propose that the OSPF document \
advertise both values/meanings: the generic RLD and the RLD tied to load-balancing \
behavior.  The cost would be minimal (1 octet), especially compared to the TLV \
encoding overhead (4 octets). Also, future use case may also extend this RLD \
advertisement latter on, thanks to the TLV extensibility. But this would require that \
this ospf draft allows it,  by allowing a length greater than 1, and defining the RLD \
to be encoded in the first octet.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span \
lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Bottom line, \
there seem to be some options to accommodate all points of \
view/usage.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" \

decision on whether/where adding an additional ELI, EL pairs in the stack of labels.  \
But if we don't know whether that additional EL, within the RLD, will be used for \
load-balancing purpose, the ingress can't know whether adding this ELI, EL is useful \
or not. Since we are in a context where the number of labels that can be pushed is \
limited,  we may be wasting 2 label push for zero benefit.</span><span lang="EN-US" \

simpler.  The principles used in RFC6790 should be applicable to the MPLS-SR case as \
well. That's to say, the ingress of a given tier LSP (i.e., a node segment) within \
the stacked LSP tunnel just needs to assume that all or partial intermediate LSRs \
could perform EL-based  LB as well. More specially, there is no need for the ingress \
to "know" whether intermediate LSRs are capable of performing EL-based LB. Even \
assume that the ingress of a given LSP knows that some intermediate LSRs of that LSP \
don't support EL-based LB, should  it insert EL/ELI or not? </span><span lang="EN-US" \
