Ketan –

“maintenance” I could live with.

“GIR” seems to not be generic enough.

Hello,

May I suggest something more generic like “Maintenance Mode” or “Graceful 
Insertion/Removal (GIR) Mode” which could be defined so as to cover the 
multiple scenarios in question (e.g. pending shutdown, down for repairs, last 
resort due to poor link quality, etc.).

Thanks,
Ketan

[Les:] I agree with Joel's comment. The use of the term "overload" is 
unfortunate.

But "pending-shutdown" isn’t appealing to me because - at least in most use 
cases - you aren't actually going to shutdown the link. What you are going to 
do is make a link the "link of last resort".

This seems a better choice.

That is not the use case - you are going to take the link down. It is not going 
to be the "link of last resort”, it is the currently the “link of last resort” 
and will imminently be taken down.




The suggestion from Shraddha that this term was borrowed from IS-IS isn't 
accurate. "overload" in IS-IS has a very different meaning - it indicates a 
node either has an incomplete LSDB or (a la RFC 
3277<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc3277/> )an incomplete forwarding plane.



The only use of "link overload" in IS-IS occurs in 
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-isis-reverse-metric-07#section-3.6 and 
this was added recently to support the (very useful) TE use case which was 
defined in https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ospf-link-overload-11 . When 
this was done the term "link-overload" was cut and pasted from the OSPF draft. 
I think this should also be changed in the IS-IS draft.

Agreed.

Thanks,
Acee
