Robert,
> IMO it is a control plane role to at least detect such inconsistency. I understand the desire and I sympathize, but the architecture is not set up for that. The management plane has the information, the control plane does not. Detecting inconsistencies would also require that the control plane understand the (if you’ll pardon the buzzword) intent of the network administrator. The history of software engineering supports this: trying to detect inconsistencies when you have less information is bound to be inadequate. IS-IS makes a very poor test suite for management plane correctness. Tony _______________________________________________ Lsr mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/lsr
