All,
In preparation for WG last call, I’d like to know whether or not you’ve
reviewed the draft (not whether you support it). If you haven’t reviewed it and
would be willing to review it, please indicate that as well. I’m doing this
since the author’s request for WG last call is coming fairly quickly by IETF
standards. Note that the changes from RFC 5306 are (extracted from Appendix A):
This document extends RFC 5306 by introducing support for signalling
the neighbors of a restarting router that a planned restart is about
to occur. This allows the neighbors to be aware of the state of the
restarting router so that appropriate action may be taken if other
topology changes occur while the planned restart is in progress.
Since the forwarding plane of the restarting router is maintained
based upon the pre-restart state of the network, additional topology
changes introduce the possibility that traffic may be lost if paths
via the restarting router continue to be used while the restart is in
progress.
In support of this new functionality two new flags have been
introduced:
PR - Restart is planned
PA - Planned restart acknowledgement
No changes to the post restart exchange between the restarting router
and its neighbors have been introduced.
Thanks,
Acee
