True, but let's do not forget the bigger picture here. The dst is
already covered by summary so for the
app it really does not matter ... It is reachable anyway.
Bottom line is that both solutions need to have upgraded code to use the
new trigger.
*Dear LSR chairs,*
I am not sure what harm would it make to start WG adoption call on both
drafts and see the results.
So far I am not seeing strong and uniform adoption support for either
one :)
I hope you are not serious. Having two different ways of signalling the
same thing in a protocol is hardy something you would want.
thanks,
Peter
Not sure why some authors feel like their work was rejected.
Cheers,

[LES:] This statement is incorrect.____
RFC 5305 states:____
__ __
<snip>____
If a prefix is advertised with a metric larger then MAX_PATH_METRIC____
(0xFE000000, see paragraph 3.0), this prefix MUST NOT be
considered____
during the normal SPF computation. This allows advertisement of
a____
prefix for purposes other than building the normal IP routing
table.____
<end snip>____
__ __
(Equivalent statement in RFC 5308 for IPv6)____
__ __
Existing implementations will ignore the advertisement purely on the
basis of the metric value - this does not depend upon understanding
the U bit.____
__ __
But existing implementations will NOT ignore a prefix reachability
advertisement just because it has a source Router ID set to 0 as
draft-wang-lsr-prefix-unreachable-annoucement defines.____
__ __
It is worth noting that AFTER the publication of
draft-ppsenak-lsr-igp-pfx-reach-loss-00 in March 2022 (subsequently
renamed as draft-ppsenak-lsr-igp-ureach-prefix-announce), the
authors of draft-wang-lsr-prefix-unreachable-annoucement apparently
realized they had an interoperability problem with existing routers
(something many of us had been highlighting for years) and in V10
(published in Jul 2022) an option was added to advertise using
maximum metric (the solution already proposed by draft-ppsenak). But
because the authors apparently didn’t want to abandon the use of
"Router ID = 0", the new version of the draft proposed a dependency
on how the unreachable prefix should be advertised. If all routers
in the network indicated support for the new extension (indicated by
yet another protocol extension - a new Router Capability sub-TLV for
IS-IS) then the use of Router ID = 0 could be used, but if any
router in the network did not advertise the new capability, then the
use of max-metric is required. Which means the solution requires
routers advertising unreachability to potentially regenerate the
advertisement in a different form whenever the state of support by
all routers in the network for the extension changes.____

__ __
[LES:] The solution defined in
draft-ppsenak-lsr-igp-unreach-prefix-announce does not introduce any
interoperability issues with existing routers, does not require
multiple encoding formats, and does not require a router to
regenerate advertisements in a different form based on the state of
support by all routers in the network.____
I think this makes a big difference. 😊____
