The IESG has approved the following document: - 'IS-IS Fast Flooding' (draft-ietf-lsr-isis-fast-flooding-11.txt) as Experimental RFC
This document is the product of the Link State Routing Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Gunter Van de Velde, Jim Guichard and John Scudder. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lsr-isis-fast-flooding/ Technical Summary Current Link State Protocol Data Unit (PDU) flooding rates are much slower than what modern networks can support. The use of IS-IS at larger scale requires faster flooding rates to achieve desired convergence goals. This document discusses the need for faster flooding, the issues around faster flooding, and some example approaches to achieve faster flooding. It also defines protocol extensions relevant to faster flooding. Working Group Summary Per the shepherd writeup, "There is a strong consensus for this document. Interest peaked during its intial discussion and evolution and many WG memebers contributed to the discussion." Document Quality The shepherd writeup mentions about implementations, "There are existing implementation of both advertising and interpreting the new TLV and sub-TLVs. While are variations of the implemented fast-flooding algorithms, all the implementations adhere to the principles in section 6." There was an extensive TSVART review by Mirja Kuehlewind, which the authors worked through with her. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Acee Lindem. The Responsible Area Director is John Scudder. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list -- ietf-announce@ietf.org To unsubscribe send an email to ietf-announce-le...@ietf.org
