7/15/2024)

Hi Bruno,

I’m not asking for per-TLV controls.
I’m asking for REQUIRED “configuration controls to enable/disable generation of 
MP-TLVs.”

IOW
OLD:   It is RECOMMENDED that implementations which support the sending of 
MP-TLVs provide configuration controls to enable/disable generation of MP-TLVs
NEW: It is REQUIRED             that implementations which support the sending 
of MP-TLVs provide configuration controls to enable/disable generation of 
MP-TLVs

Thank you for the clarification.

As you know, there are several TLVs that have been MP-TLV for a very long time 
(e.g. ROUTER CAPABILITY).  Having these be MP is a practical operational 
necessity already today.  Disabling this on any node would likely break any 
network that has some fairly common features (e.g. FlexAlgo) enabled.

[Bruno] I meant for the newly defined MP-TLV. The one for which MP handling is 
changed by this document.  TLVs which have been defined with MP-TLV from day 
one do not create interop issue. It’s the change of behavior when handling TLV 
X of a new implementation which create an interop issue with the handling of 
TLV X from old implementations.
If it’s just a wording issue, I’m confident that someone can craft the right 
wording.

What is the point of a knob that cannot be turned off?
[Bruno] I agree that the point is to be able to turn it off.

Regards,
--Bruno
