Hello All, I support this simple but important extension.
A couple of minor comments on the draft: 1) Sec 3 says A node that implements X-AF routing SHOULD advertise, in the corresponding Node Local Address sub-TLV, all X-AF IPv4 and IPv6 addresses local to the router that can be used by Constrained SPF (CSPF) to calculate MPLS TE LSPs. In general, OSPF SHOULD advertise the IP address listed in the Router Address TLV [RFC3630<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3630>] [RFC5329<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5329>] of the X-AF instance maintaining the MPLS TE database, plus any additional local addresses advertised by the X-AF OSPF instance in its Node Local Address sub-TLVs. An implementation MAY advertise other local X-AF addresses. Generally speaking, should the IP address (TE router ID in common terms) which is candidate for inclusion in the Router Address TLV not be a MUST candidate for X-AF advertisement? I also have a question about the first statement with the SHOULD in it. Consider we are using the TE topology from OSPFv2 to compute a tunnel for use with OSPFv3. Any IPv6 addresses associated with the OSPFv3 instance on a router would be advertised as a Node attribute and would not help identify a specific link. So practically, if any IPv6 addresses (if at all) were to be used for CSPF then it would just identify the node – in this case, isn’t advertising the IPv6 address (TE router ID used in Router Address TLV) sufficient? For practical deployment, it think it would help if this was clarified that we really need only the TE Router ID Address to go X-AF in most/general cases and not the others? 2) Isn’t the mapping algorithm in Sec 3 actually going to be used for IGP short-cut use-case with its reference to the IGP cost of the tunnel? If so, would a reference to rfc3906 be helpful in this document.
