Hi Tony,
Can you give some details about: what is the rate limiting link addition
and how does it (the rate limiting link addition) fix or help fix the flooding
topology (FT) split when multiple failures occur on FT?
Best Regards,
Huaimo

Hi all,
I hope that everyone had a safe and uneventful trip home from Prague and that
no one else had the seat right in front of the screaming baby. ;-)
I would like to re-open the discussion on the mailing list. Based on the
off-line discussions that I had with folks, I believe that we’re leaning
towards including the LANs in the signaling and rate limiting link addition
during repair.
Dissent? Discussion?
