Hi, Thank you for contributing your draft. I’m writing because I’m having trouble understanding the motivation for this work.
First off, I do NOT want to argue about carrying unnecessary information in IS-IS. IMHO, it is unmitigated evil and an attempt to destroy the viability of the protocol by creating arbitrary complexity and scale. But never mind that, I’ll stipulate for this discussion that we want to do so. Given this, what is it that you’re trying to accomplish? You’ve called this a ‘multi-flooding instance’, but it’s very unclear about what that means. You say that multiple MFIs exist within a single IS-IS instance. You obviously want data flooded. So what is the difference between an LSP in MFI A and another LSP in MFI B? Are there separate flooding topologies but a common LSDB? Or are you trying to subdivide the LSDB? You mention that there is only a single update process in an instance. AFAICT, that’s only a model, not a requirement. There’s no prohibition that I know of against an implementation using a process per interface if iit wanted to. What problem are you solving?
