Problem Statement • In several situations (e.g. TV broadcasting with several regional sources) it is required to setup a series of P2MP TE-LSPs with distinct Ingress LSRs and a same group of Leaf LSRs • Such group of Leaf LSRs is referred to as a "Leaf Group" • This may rely on the configuration of all Leaf LSRs on each Ingress LSRs but this has obvious limitations • Potentially a lot of Ingress LSRs and Leaf LSRs => cumbersome configuration, prone to mis-configuration • This does not allow dynamic addition/removal of leaves • Hence a mechanism is required for automatic and dynamic discovery of the LSRs member of a Leaf Group • This draft addresses automation of P2MP TE-LSP configuration • This draft DOES NOT addresses reactivity to Multicast receivers activity
Solution overview • A simple solution for Leaf Group discovery consists of relying on the IGP • This is particularly useful in BGP free and multicast free core networks • e.g P routers with only IGP & RSVP-TE • This draft defines ISIS and OSPF extensions allowing an LSR to advertise its desire to join/leave a Leaf Group • No new IGP procedure. This relies on OSPF and ISIS node capabilities procedures • Each LSR advertises the Leaf Group(s) it belongs to • A new TLV is defined: The Leaf Group TLV, that includes the set of Leaf Group(s) the LSR belongs to • to be carried in • The ISIS Router Capability TLV • The OSPF Router Information LSA
Changes since Montreal • A new co-author joined the draft • The problem statement has been clarified • Automate the configuration of a series of P2MP TE-LSPs with same group of Leaf LSRs and distinct Ingress LSRs… • The scope of the Leaf Group has been extended accordingly • A Leaf Group may correspond to several P2MP TE-LSPs • The Leaf Group TLV format has been optimized • Factorization of leaf address • Considerations on the number of Leaf Groups and on the dynamicity • Recommendations on Dampening and Rate Limiting so as to avoid any unacceptable impact on the IGP scalability • The security section has been detailed • Some minor edits for the sake of clarity
Next Steps • Service provider feedback required on the problem statement • WG feedback is required on the proposed solution • Adopt as WG doc?
