Acee/Chris/ADs,
The wide use of IS-IS in different parts of the network/architectures requires a different approach to scale these implementations outside of breaking them into multiple domains/areas, which has its own set of challenges.

Work in this area is important to solve these challenges and I’d like to see the WG progress in this effort without implying any preference to the drafts mentioned below

Thanks,
Luay

[Lsr] IS-IS Requirements for Area Abstraction (Corrected Alias for ADs)

Speaking as WG Co-chair:

At IETF 107, we had a protracted discussion of several drafts having  goal of reducing the amount of link-state information that must be flooded into the level-2 area. We have two drafts that do this essentially via abstraction of the level-1 areas. These are:

https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-li-lsr-isis-area-proxy-01.txt<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.ietf.org_id_draft-2Dli-2Dlsr-2Disis-2Darea-2Dproxy-2D01.txt&d=DwMFaQ&c=udBTRvFvXC5Dhqg7UHpJlPps3mZ3LRxpb6__0PomBTQ&r=k0DrrBeS0St-D1jEwNQ_u1ZyHQXQly5fgCsWF0VTh7o&m=z1foUEk3_xpkIgCZi8-X74yChqaWmksE-MWtr1XMDVU&s=m1VZtHwoBnVM6NLTkyyJ0OlR9Y_wfJV5Zytor2-5v3w&e=>
https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-chen-isis-ttz-07.txt<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.ietf.org_id_draft-2Dchen-2Disis-2Dttz-2D07.txt&d=DwMFaQ&c=udBTRvFvXC5Dhqg7UHpJlPps3mZ3LRxpb6__0PomBTQ&r=k0DrrBeS0St-D1jEwNQ_u1ZyHQXQly5fgCsWF0VTh7o&m=z1foUEk3_xpkIgCZi8-X74yChqaWmksE-MWtr1XMDVU&s=NmfKylryP8aeh12mFSgzJk8sBgAd0qZhIBNOgrV5vGA&e=>

There are various reasons why these drafts can’t consolidated involving both IPR and government restrictions. Refer to https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/106/materials/minutes-106-lsr-00<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__datatracker.ietf.org_meeting_106_materials_minutes-2D106-2Dlsr-2D00&d=DwMFaQ&c=udBTRvFvXC5Dhqg7UHpJlPps3mZ3LRxpb6__0PomBTQ&r=k0DrrBeS0St-D1jEwNQ_u1ZyHQXQly5fgCsWF0VTh7o&m=z1foUEk3_xpkIgCZi8-X74yChqaWmksE-MWtr1XMDVU&s=zqKKw4v2gm2mx1LZo4WWmSF06YB14M9PChnOYzpB5Gk&e=> for the complete discussion.

We have another draft that also reduces the amount of link-state information each IS-IS router must maintain but using IS-IS reflectors. This is slightly different but also avoids leaking all the level-1 area link-state to the level-2 area.

https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-przygienda-lsr-flood-reflection-01.txt<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.ietf.org_id_draft-2Dprzygienda-2Dlsr-2Dflood-2Dreflection-2D01.txt&d=DwMFaQ&c=udBTRvFvXC5Dhqg7UHpJlPps3mZ3LRxpb6__0PomBTQ&r=k0DrrBeS0St-D1jEwNQ_u1ZyHQXQly5fgCsWF0VTh7o&m=z1foUEk3_xpkIgCZi8-X74yChqaWmksE-MWtr1XMDVU&s=h-CP1Os5HiQ4PfwiVXf5kEKNktTL4T-0mojVVCBKFi8&e=>

Given the amount of overlap and the conflicts amongst these drafts, the chairs/Ads are now asking whether there is a really a strong requirement to advance one or more of these documents. Especially given that we are already moving forward with both IS-IS/OSPF flooding reductions and the Hierarchal IS-IS work. Additionally,  we anticipate we’ll reach an impasse in consolidating these drafts. We’d really like to hear from the operators that would deploy these mechanisms.

Thanks,
Acee and Chris

FYI…

Because I am one of the co-authors of draft-chen-isis-ttz, I am recusing myself from this discussion.  Martin will be the responsible AD for it, should one be needed.

Alvaro.
