Hi Acee,

Per my understanding Link Local/Remote ID Sub-TLV is to be conveyed in 
area-scope LSA to uniquely identify link between pair of routers. For 
link-local scope another Sub-TLV was introduced, for discovery of link IDs by 
two neighbors.

May be, it is possible to reuse Link Local/Remote ID Sub-TLV (with Remote ID = 
0) of Link TLV in link-local scope LSA, but the RFC follows another approach - 
to use another Sub-TLV and another TLV. I am not sure that we needed dedicated 
top-level TLV, though idea to use separate Sub-TLV seems to be reasonable.

Thank you!

Best regards,
Alexander Okonnikov

Subject: [Lsr] OSPF TE Link Local TLV

Hi,

I have question regarding RFC 4203, Section 3. That section introduces 
top-level TLV type 4 (Link Local TLV) and, at the same time, describes Link 
Local Identifier TLV. I guess that latter in fact is Sub-TLV of Link Local 
TLV.. Also, IANA Considerations section doesn't mention that Sub-TLV, but only 
introduction of Link Local TLV. IANA has no corresponding registry  - "Types 
for Sub-TLVs of Link Local TLV (Value 4)".

I believe this example is actually wrong and section 3 should refer to the 
top-level Link TLV (value 2) defined in RFC 3630. The Link Local Identifier is 
the one advertised in Link Local/Remote Identifiers Sub-TLV (type 11) defined 
in RFC 4203 section 1.1.

Hope this helps,
Acee

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Alexander Okonnikov
