Hi, Acee:

Sorry for the previous pruned mail. Let's reply you again along your original 
question.

Please see inline.[WAJ]

Hi Aijun,

Other than your ill-conceived topology discovery heuristic

[WAJ] The topology discovery heuristic is not suitable for the corner use case 
when the unnumbered interface is used, as explained in 
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-lsr-ospf-prefix-originator-06#appendix-B.
  If you don’t agree, would you like to illustrate other non-applicable 
scenarios?



Right – and nobody other than yourself believes the IGPs should be modified to 
expose the abstracted topology of an area outside that area. You can solve the 
problem with BGP-LS session(s) between the router with a BGP-LS session to the 
controller and a router in each area w/o  a router with a BGP-LS session to the 
controller.



what other possible reason would there be for associating the passive attribute 
with a prefix?

[WAJ] To know the boundary of the IGP domain. After knowing the boundary, the 
controller can safely apply and check the network security policy, the inbound 
traffic control policy etc.



It really isn’t relevant, but I have to ask…. How does the presence of a prefix 
associated with a passive interface allow you to make this deduction?



Thanks,

Acee



Thanks,

Acee

    Hi, Acee and Peter:

    Passive interface is mainly used at the edge of the network, where the 
unnumbered interface will not be used.

    And the information to flag the passive interfaces is for positioning the 
area boundary, not conflict with the abstract capabilities of the area inside.

    Speaking as WG member:



    Hi Aijun, Peter,

    I agree with Peter - one of the main motivations for having areas is to 
abstract the topology within the area. Now you're trying to supplant this  - 
one topological detail at a time with ill-conceived IGP features.

    Thanks,

    Acee

        if the link is unnumbered, your solution does not work. As I said, if

        you need a knowledge about the link, you can not advertise it as a 
prefix.
