Abstract:
   This document specifies a framework for support of composite link in
   MPLS networks.  A composite link consists of a group of homogenous or
   non-homogenous links that have the same forward adjacency and can be
   considered as a single TE link or an IP link in routing.  A composite
   link relies on its component links to carry the traffic over the
   composite link.  Applicability is described for a single pair of
   MPLS-capable nodes, a sequence of M

Last Call: (Requirements forComposite Links in MPLS Networks) to Informational RFC

The IESG — 2013-06-05T14:00:08

The IESG has received a request from the Routing Area Working Group WG
(rtgwg) to consider the following document:
- 'Requirements for Composite Links in MPLS Networks'
  <draft-ietf-rtgwg-cl-requirement-10.txt> as Informational RFC

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf< at >ietf.org mailing lists by 2013-06-19. Exceptionally, comments may be
sent to iesg< at >ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the
beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract


   There is often a need to provide large aggregates of bandwidth that
   are best provided using parallel links between routers or MPLS LSR.
   In core networks there is often no alternative since the aggregate
   capacities of core networks today far exceed the capacity of a single
   physical link or single packet processing element.

   The presence of parallel links, with each link potentially comprised
   of multiple layers has

Abstract:
   This document describes an illustrative framework of a mechanism for
   use in conjunction with link state routing protocols which prevents
   the transient loops which would otherwise occur during topology
   changes.  It does this by correctly sequencing the forwarding
   information base (FIB) updates on the routers.

   This mechanism can be used in the case of non-urgent (management

Abstract:
   This document presents an illustrative framework for providing fast
   reroute in an IP or MPLS network through encapsulation and forwarding
   to "not-via" addresses.  The general approach described uses a single
   level of encapsulation and could be used to protect unicast,
   multicast, and LDP traffic against link, router, and shared risk
   group failure, regardless of network topology and metrics.

   The mechanisms presented in this document are purely illustrative of
   the general approach and do not constitu

Thanks for your quick feedback.

for a discussion based on ink-on-paper, or answer on the list. I am afraid of a never-ending thread for the later :)

Alia Atlas — 2013-05-20T15:04:07

Hi Pierre,

Thank you for starting the conversation and a quick intro on the
differences.

When I look at this draft and PLSN, what I see is that the PLR is
definitionally either a type B router (since
it has an alternate that is safe for forwarding traffic or for link up it's
old primary) and that the PLR is then the
only router to apply the basic procedure.  However, the PLR may not have an
alternate available, unless MRT is used.

As draft-ietf-rtgwg-microloop-analysis-01 says in Sec 3.3:

" Another distinct situation is when the router does not support IPFRR or
could not repair the failure, the new primary next-hops do not satisfy the
safety condition, and there's no other neighbor that does, i.e. a type-C
situation. Unlike other routers in the network, the router directly
connected to the network does not have the old next-hop any more, and
cannot continue using it. Immediately switching to the new next-hops, on
the other hand, may result in a micro-loop. In this situation, the router
MUST discard traff

Pierre Francois — 2013-05-20T11:57:39


Dear rtgwg list members, 

I would like to know your opinion about what we should do with http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-litkowski-rtgwg-uloop-delay-00 , that we presented in Orlando. 

The idea was to avoid microloops occurring in the direct neighbourhood of a node shutting down or bringing up a link in an IGP topology, by introducing some
fixed delay in the update of the FIB in the down case, and introducing a fixed delay in the propagation of the LSP describing the link as up in the up case. 

The solution is simple, will be released by some in the upcoming months, and the Orlando audience was seeming to find it interesting to work on.

Alia mentioned the interest of comparing this solution with the state of the art before going further with the doc, so here it comes. 

Generally, compared to other solutions, local-delay does not provide full coverage, as it only avoids all (but only)  microloops occurring locally to the affected node. However, 
in many networks, as shown by Stephane's analysis, it is

Biggest Fake Conference in Computer Science

2013-04-27T18:03:17

We are researchers from different parts of the world and conducted a study on  
the world’s biggest bogus computer science conference WORLDCOMP 
( http://sites.google.com/site/worlddump1 ) organized by Prof. Hamid Arabnia 
from University of Georgia, USA.


We submitted a fake paper to WORLDCOMP 2011 and again (the same paper 
with a modified title) to WORLDCOMP 2012. This paper had numerous 
fundamental mistakes. Sample statements from that paper include: 

(1). Binary logic is fuzzy logic and vice versa
(2). Pascal developed fuzzy logic
(3). Object oriented languages do not exhibit any polymorphism or inheritance
(4). TCP and IP are synonyms and are part of OSI model 
(5). Distributed systems deal with only one computer
(6). Laptop is an example for a super computer
(7). Operating system is an example for computer hardware


Also, our paper did not express any conceptual meaning.  However, it 
was accepted both the times without any modifications (and without 
any reviews) and we were invited to submit t

The CL Use Cases is a fairly quick read.  I would appreciate comments
on that document in particular.  It is purely informational, but as
long as the information is accurate (and useful) we could progress
this document.

CL Framework will be updated now that we have settled on a set of
documents for delay and jitter.  These are the soon to be updated
draft-atlas-mpls-te-express-path,
draft-ietf-ospf-te-metric-extensions, and
draft-previdi-isis-te-metric-extensions.  Other than that (and RFC6790
no longer being a draft), very little is expected to change for now.

CL Use Cases is farther along and it is easier to focus on one
document at a time.  Comments on either document would be greatly
appreciated, but if you have limited time, CL Use Cases first pleast.

I suggest that you try putting your comments in writing in an email

mailing list.  If you are talking about comments at the microphone at
a meeting, then perhaps written comments would clear things up.

In general written comments on the mailing list are supposed to count
for more than verbal comments at the mic at an IETF meeting, though
some would argue that is not the case.  Authors are obligated to
respond to comments about WG drafts, particularly in last call.  If
the comments were not clear, a response asking for clarification is
