The IESG has approved the following document: - 'OSPF BFD Strict-Mode' (draft-ietf-lsr-ospf-bfd-strict-mode-10.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Link State Routing Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Andrew Alston and John Scudder. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lsr-ospf-bfd-strict-mode/ Technical Summary This document provides extensions to OSPF to require a BFD session (i.e., strict-mode) prior to OSPF adjacency formation. Extensions are provided both OSPF Link-Local-Signaling to advertise the desire to require a BFD session and to the OSPF neighbor FSM should BFD strict-mode be successfully negotiated. Working Group Summary There is stong support among those reviewing the document. The WG last call of the document prompted discussions of additional specification. There was debate regarding making the delay timer described in section 5 a normative requirement. The consensus was to not make this a normative part of the specification. The shepherd felt this is the right decision – especially given that this is new functionality being requested at Working Group Last Call and implementations accomplish the dampening in varying ways. Document Quality The document is of high quality and has been reviewed by several LSR WG members. This same function is already standardized for IS-IS [RFC6213] Personnel Document Shepherd: Acee Lindem Responsible AD: John Scudder _______________________________________________ Lsr mailing list Lsr@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/lsr
