WG Last Call on draft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-recovery-analysis-02.txt



Editors,

Working Group last call has completed on this draft without further comments (that I saw).

I have a few nits that I would like you to fix and then we can pass the draft on to the
ADs.

Thanks,
Adrian

1. Table of Content
Please don't number the table of contents
(See below for why this is good news :-)

Section 2
   Conventions used in this document:

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED",  "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in
   this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC-2119 [2].

   Any other recovery-related terminology used in this document
   conforms to the one defined in [TERM]. The reader is also assumed to
   be familiar with the terminology developed in [GMPLS-ARCH], [RFC-
   3471], [RFC-3473], [GMPLS-RTG] and [LMP].
This material should be in its own section not lumped in with "Contributors"

   (3) when the recovery resources are pre-reserved, they can be either
       pre-selected or selected on-demand.
I think people may find it hard to understand how a resource can be pre-reserved when it
has not yet been selected.
Can you clarify this.
In fact, it might be helpful in this section to clarify the behavioral differences when
resources are overbookable (such as in PSC) and when resources are synonymous to labels.

6. Normalization

   Below we briefly expand on (4) only. (2) is covered in [RFC-

Section 7.2
   Note: Recovery Granularity
Read
7.2.1 Recovery Granularity

Section 7.4.1
   A Shared Risk Link Group (SRLG) is defined as the set of optical
   spans (or links or optical lines) sharing a common physical resource
   (for instance, fiber links, fiber trunks or cables) i.e. sharing a
   common risk.
Why do you limit this to optical spans in this way? Would it not be better to describe
this in terms of physical or logical networking resources?
But, in any case, shouldn't you really refer to the definition elsewhere? It is not in
[TERM] (perhaps it should be), but the definition in [CCAMP-SRLG] should be good enough.
You go on to describe a link belonging to an SRLG. Do you mean TE link?

Section 7.4.1
   (but not a sufficient) condition to ensure optical network
Again, not sure why you are limited to optical networks.

Section 8.4.1
   The knowledge of this information available per TE link can be
   exploited in order to optimize the usage of the resources allocated
   per TE link for shared recovery. If one refers to r[i] as the actual
   bandwidth per TE link i (in terms of discrete bandwidth units)
   committed for shared recovery, then the following quantity must be
   maximized over the potential TE link candidates: sum {i=1}^N [(R{i}
   - r{i})/(t{i} û b{i})] or equivalently: sum {i=1}^N [(R{i} -
   r{i})/r{i}] with R{i} >= 1 and r{i} >= 1 (in terms of per component
   bandwidth unit). In this formula, N is the total number of links
   traversed by a given LSP, t[i] the Maximum Link Bandwidth per TE
   link i and b[i] the sum per TE link i of the bandwidth committed for
   working LSPs and other recovery LSPs (thus except "shared bandwidth"
   LSPs). The quantity [(R{i} - r{i})/r{i}] is defined as the Shared
   (Recovery) Bandwidth Ratio per TE link i. In addition, TE links for
   which R[i] reaches max_R[i] or for which r[i] = 0 are pruned during
   shared recovery path computation as well as TE links for which
   max_R[i] = r[i] which can simply not be shared.
Could you check the formulae. Do you really mean square root b{i} ? Regardless, this is a
non-standard ASCII character.
Could you also break the text so each formula is presented whole on a separate line.

Section 9
It would be nice to give a one-line key for each of the three path setup mechanisms (1, 2
and 3) in the table.

10. Security Considerations
Do all of the protection and recovery mechanisms described have identical security
implications? If so, please add that statement.
If not (which I suspect) please add some text to compare and contrast the security of the
different techniques.

Please use new IPR boilerplate

References
Could you check that [IPO-IMP], [CCAMP-LI], [CCAMP-SRLG], [MPLS-OSU] and [TE-NS] have not
died?
The version numbers and dates of references are (of course) a little out of date.

14. Author's Addresses
Read "Editors' Addresses" ?

Please use new copyright boilerplate.
