All - Please update your links to FreeRangeRouting on github to: https://github.com/frrouting/ As part of the name change this was necessary to do. As I understand it your fork's should still work. If they do not I apologize in advance. thanks! donald

[frr] Please make your membership public on Github
by Martin Winter 30 Mar '17

30 Mar '17

I’ve noticed that only 3 members are “public” visible on the Github FRR. I would appreciate if everyone considers changing the setting to public. Would be nice to see a broader membership. Right now it looks like a very small community as most people are not seen (But there are another 18 members private and invisible) So, unless you prefer to keep your membership private, please go to https://github.com/orgs/freerangerouting/people and change your account to public. Thanks, Martin

[frr] making frr more public
by JR Rivers 28 Mar '17

28 Mar '17

As most of you know, we've been working with the Linux Foundation to host FRR. Open Network Summit is coming up in early April, and given the release readiness of FRR, it seems like a good time to make FRR more public. We have a few pieces of work associated to make this happen; one is a website, and the second is a blog post that Linux Foundation will issue. I've been working with a web designer on the site, and I've attached a non-interactive mock up below. I've also put together a straw proposal to introduce FRR. Looking for comments on these. There are two sections that announce participants in the FRR community, one is in the blog post, and the second is in the "Contributors" section at the bottom of the website. I took the blog list from Martin's presentation... please let me know directly if your company wants to be included in either section. Also happy to have people in your marketing departments speak with all of the others and the Linux Foundation people; just make the introduction, and I'll get the ball rolling. cheers, JR https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_9VRlQkvCiGfQPMtqND094gZuRGDq22tad_GdGQ…

Eric's question below is basically adding labels at tunnel ingress vs while traversing the LSP. I was generically increasing both to more than 2 labels.

How does this compare with running the packet a couple of times through the mpls table to get all of the desired labels applied? I can certainly see the case in an mpls tunnel ingress where this might could be desirable. Which is something you implement in your last patch. However is it at all common to push lots of labels at once during routing? I am probably a bit naive but it seems absurd to push more than a handful of labels onto a packet as you are routing it.

Ideally, any router along the path, being the (real / app-facing) head-end or not, should be capable of injecting a SID-list to enforce any given forwarding policy. So i believe that David’s patch is needed as is: to cover both ip->mpls and mpls->mpls scenarios. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-filsfils-spring-segment-routing… <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-filsfils-spring-segment-routing…> >> How does this compare with running the packet a couple of times through >> the mpls table to get all of the desired labels applied? <Rodny> I would like to know more about this one too. /Rodny > On Mar 26, 2017, at 3:23 PM, David Ahern via frr <frr(a)lists.nox.tf> wrote: > > > From: David Ahern <dsa(a)cumulusnetworks.com <mailto:dsa@cumulusnetworks.com>> > Subject: Re: Fwd: Re: [PATCH net-next 0/4] net: mpls: Allow users to configure more labels per route > Date: March 26, 2017 at 3:22:51 PM PDT > To: Thomas Morin <thomas.morin(a)orange.com <mailto:thomas.morin@orange.com>>, DUGEON Olivier IMT/OLN <olivier.dugeon(a)orange.com <mailto:olivier.dugeon@orange.com>>, "amine.kherbouche(a)6wind.com <mailto:amine.kherbouche@6wind.com>" <amine.kherbouche(a)6wind.com <mailto:amine.kherbouche@6wind.com>>, "jefftant(a)gmail.com <mailto:jefftant@gmail.com>" <jefftant(a)gmail.com <mailto:jefftant@gmail.com>>, "frr(a)lists.nox.tf <mailto:frr@lists.nox.tf>" <frr(a)lists.nox.tf <mailto:frr@lists.nox.tf>>, Bruno Decraene <bruno.decraene(a)orange.com <mailto:bruno.decraene@orange.com>>, roopa <roopa(a)cumulusnetworks.com <mailto:roopa@cumulusnetworks.com>> > > > On 3/26/17 11:02 AM, Thomas Morin wrote: >> Hi David, >> >> [adding my colleague Bruno to the list, he may correct things I might >> have oversimplified on segment routing, or have a idea about 12] >> >> 2017-03-25, David Ahern: >>> Eric's question below is basically adding labels at tunnel ingress vs >>> while traversing the LSP.

There’s no free lunch in fast path universe, packet recalculation has price associated with it, the most obvious things are increased latency and reduced throughput, there’s more.
