Hi,

  I have one query regarding the following content from the IGP UPA draft.

<snip>

As UPA advertisements in IS-IS are advertised in existing Link State
   PDUs (LSPs) and the unit of flooding in IS-IS is an LSP, *it is
   recommended that, when possible, UPAs are advertised in LSPs
   dedicated to this type of advertisement.  This will minimize the
   number of LSPs which need to be updated when UPAs are advertised and
   withdrawn.*

</snip>
What is meant by LSPs dedicated to this type of advertisement in the above
highlighted text? My understanding is that we have only one ISIS LSP for
all the content. If a given LSP can not fit into one packet, then it is put
into multiple fragments.

Does it refer to some enhancement where UPA prefixes are separately put
into separate ISIS fragments dedicated for UPA prefixes? Or any other
enhancement where we define a separate LSP type for UPA? Can somebody
clarify this?

Does any vendor support this kind of enhancement for UPA or any other ISIS
feature?

Regards,
Kotesh
