Alissa,
as Les correctly pointed out privately to me, this updated text is not
entirely correct. Not advertising the ELC bit can be result of:
a) router not supporting this extension
b) router supporting this extension, but not supporting ELC
So I would rather keep the original text unchanged.
This is not anything new. This ambiguity is common for any new protocol
extension that signals a boolean type of information.
thanks,
Peter

COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I wasn't clear on where the thread ended up from the Gen-ART review,
but I'm
nevertheless suggesting some text below to resolve the main sticking
point.
OLD
If the router supports ELs on all of its interfaces, it SHOULD
advertise the
ELC with every local host prefix it advertises in OSPF.
NEW
If the router supports ELs on all of its interfaces, it SHOULD
advertise the
ELC with every local host prefix it advertises in OSPF. The absence
of these
advertisements implies that advertisement of the ELC is not supported.
I added the suggested text, plus I added "OSPF" at the end. So the
text is:
"If the router supports ELs on all of its interfaces, it SHOULD
advertise the ELC with every local host prefix it advertises in OSPF.
The absence of these advertisements implies that advertisement of the
ELC is not supported in OSPF."
I added similar text to ISIS ELC draft.
thanks,
Peter
Not sure if that matches the intent though.
