Hi Dave,

There are two drafts containing the centralized solution and distributed 
solution already on the table too. If the two drafts are adopted, they need to 
be updated for one draft to focus on the centralized solution and the other on 
the distributed solution. The former will have all the good parts for the 
centralized solution, and the latter will have all the good parts for the 
distributed solution.

Best Regards,
Huaimo

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.
