Thanks Spencer.

 

My initial reaction was to be a bit snippy about this, but I’ll try to behave :-)

 

The intention is that MPLS-SR-over-IP utilises MPLS-over-UDP as documented in RFC 7510.

 

I think (and hope) that section 5 of RFC 7510 is an integral part of RFC 7510, and so is automatically part of any further specification that uses the mechanisms defined in RFC 7510.

 

In my opinion, to would be wrong to single out one section of RFC 7510 for special mention in this document since to do so might be taken to apply that other sections are not equally important.

That's reasonable, and it's very likely that I missed what Martin was thinking. Thanks for the quick response.

Spencer, who appreciates behaving since it's his last telechat ;-)  

 

Cheers,

Adrian

Happy to accommodate this request.

But what do you have in mind?

There are references to 7510, in the Introduction and in the first two use cases in Section 2.
Then, the packet forwarding procedures in Section 3.2 begin with a reference to 7510 as well.
And there a couple more references in the document.

Thanks,
Adrian

 

I haven't seen a response back from Martin, and this doc is on the agenda in a couple of days, so I'll try to read Martin's mind, and you can both tell me what I'm getting wrong. So can everyone else, of course ...

 

The character string "7510" does appear in a bunch of places in this draft, but what I'm not seeing is a statement of whether the congestion control considerations in Section 5 of RFC 7510 do, or do not, apply to MPLS-SR over UDP, as with MPLS over UDP. That might be obvious to MPLS-SR types, and it might be especially obvious to you, because you were author for this draft and responsible AD for RFC 7510 until after it entered the RFC Editor queue, but I wonder if it might be useful to Those Less Skilled In The Art. 

I'll ballot No Objection/still discussing TSV-ART review with author, and you can reply here, or there, as seems appropriate. 

Make good choices, of course ;-)
