[alto] New Version Notification for draft-lachos-multi-domain-sfc-alto-00.txt

[Danny Alex Lachos Perez]

Dear WG members.

The main idea behalf this draft is to start a discussion (SFC, ALTO as well
as other WGs) regarding if, how, and under what conditions ALTO can be
useful to improve the multi-domain SFC process.

This version provides arguments why ALTO is a meaningful protocol in the
context of SFC traversing different domains, and it presents use case
examples about the how ALTO can be used to advertise and discover
(abstract) topology, resource and service information from different
domains, and then compute inter-domain service function paths.

Any comment, question, and suggestion from the WGs would be greatly
appreciated.

Dear Danny,

Thank you for sharing this draft.

My main comments about this draft are as follows:

· The SFC WG is currently scoped to one single administrative domain. Even for the work we have done about hierarchical SFC, the assumption is that sub-domains are managed by the same administrative entity.

· Before getting into protocol details about how to realize inter-domain service chains, it would be really valuable to identify and describe concrete uses cases which require SFs from distinct administrative domains + justify why topology visibility is required + paths have to be computed end-to-end and so on.

FWIW, you may find some additional comments at:

· .pdf: https://github.com/boucadair/IETF-Drafts-Reviews/blob/master/draft-lachos-multi-domain-sfc-alto-00-rev%20Med.pdf
