I think this is too restrictive.
We should not exclude algorithms that can build a flooding topology with 
unidirectional links.

Subject: Re: [Lsr] Flooding Path Direction


The direction of the Flooding Path in draft-ietf-lsr-dynamic-flooding-00
is not clear.

I think it should be uni-directional, such that path (1,2) is different to
path (2,1). If the path (1,2) should be bi-directional, then it can be encoded
as (1,2,1).


Hi Jakob,

The intent was that flooding be bi-directional on all links and thus (1,2) is 
sufficient to describe that link.

The reason for encoding things as paths is for the encoding efficiency.  
(1,2,3) is more efficient than (1,2) and (2,3).

Regards,
Tony
