SAMIER:
Come back for this comment, I think similar to L3 Topology, L2 network topology model is independent of layer 2 protocol type, e.g., LLDP. But Layer 2 topology model can be augmented with addition definitions for LLDP topology type.
One OSPF topology example is defined in the Appendix B of RFC8346. LLDP topology model can be defined in the same way.

Regarding your question, I think H-SDN-C should have boundary node information from its inventory model collected by each IP controller and it is the job of H-SDN-C to be responsible for topology stitching in different domains,
 there are many protocols that can be used to expose topology from IP controller to H-SDN-C, e.g., BGP-LS routing protocol.  We haven’t seen LLDP can be used to collect cross inter-domain neighbourhood,e.g.,peer IP controller.

Hi Qin,

I hade made a mistake. I was trying to say LLDP neighbour. A

I will try to explain it again to avoid confusions.  As your mentioned the LLDP can be enabled in the network and create the L2 Links (this is our intention). However, We have not seen in the model the way to express this inter-domain neighbourhood, for example:

In this network scenario:

  *   Each domain controller will expose a L2 Topology
  *   IP Controller-1 have not in its node DB the Node B
  *   IP Controller-2 have not in its node DB the Node A
How the H-SDNc can join the two L2-topo (each from a controller) to generate the common view? It is possible with this model?

Regards,

Hi, Samier:

L2 topo is used to describe neighbor relationship and can be collected by LLDP or any other Layer 2 protocol, are you sure LDP protocol should be part of L2 topo model? If there is a use case for LDP, L2 topo model could be augmented in the separate model to support such use case.

BTW, L2 topo has completed WGLC. The token is in the document shepherd’s hand.

Hello authors,

We have been using your model to describe our L2 Topology in a single domain IP scenario. During the last month we have been exporting this topology to a centralized entity in order to build a multi-domain (two IP domain controllers) L2-Topology. However, In order to build this end-to-end L2 view of our networks we were expecting to use the LDP neighbour relationship, however in the draft-ietf-i2rs-yang-l2-network-topology there is not such possibility.

Do you have any plan to include this information in the model? If not how do you expect a centralized entity (Network Orchestator) can build an end-to-end L2 view of the network if the L2 Topo is reported by two domain controllers?

Thanks in advance for your answer.
