With all respect,  there are other distributed solutions on the table…


Cheers

Hello all,



At current situation, I think we'd better move both the two drafts foward in 
parallel keeping draft-li-dyanmic-flooding focus on  the centralized solution 
and  draft-cc-ospf-flooding-reduction on the distributed solution. Thanks.



Best Regards,

Zhenqiang Li

   Sound like best plan fwd.



   Thx,

      Summary of where we are at with dynamic flooding reduction:

       - We have a well written original work that came first and described the 
problems as well as a TLVs to allow for a centralized solution 
(draft-li-dyanmic-flooding). We do not need to standardize the centralized 
algorithm.

       - A small change to this work allowed for distributed algorithms and for 
outside work on distributed algorithms to continue in parallel.

       - We have another original work that started primarily as a distributed 
algorithm
         (draft-cc-ospf-flooding-reduction)

       - Finally we also have:
         - Cross-pollination of ideas.
         - Failed attempts at merging.
         - An authors list "Arms-Race".

      Moving forward:

      - During IETF 103 I proposed we have no conflict if we:

         1) adopt draft-li-lsr-dyanmic-flooding as the base WG document..
         2) have authors of draft-cc-lsr-flooding-reduction work on a 
distributed algorithm as they started with.

      - Acee agreed during the meeting (as chair) that this was the best way 
forward. We had some agreement form the floor as well.

      - Any good ideas regarding the distribution of a centralized topology can 
be debated and added (with appropriate attribution) to the base document after 
we adopt one.

      - This is what happens when we adopt a document as WG work, we work on it.

      - The original authors of the distributed solution can continue to work 
on their distributed algorithm in a separate document which would also need 
standardization.

      Does anyone see a serious problem with this path forward?

      Thanks,
      Chris & Acee.
      LSR Chairs.
