Hi, Ketan:

I have read your mail. If you mean that currently there are only two IS-IS TLVs(Type 22 and Type 135) needs to be extended, then all the contents of section 8.2 should be removed.

And the sentence in the abstract of this document——“ This document codifies the common mechanism of extending the TLV content space through multiple TLVs.”SHOULD be replaced with “This document codifies the “what constitutes a key” for two IS-IS TLVs.”

After the above changes, I will support its forwarding.

Hi Aijun,

Since you bring up vagueness and interoperability, please refer to my suggestion here: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/lsr/U3ImXcT5yDgvFCb3VLa5t9C4As4/

Thanks,

Hi, Acee and Ketan:

Then, the proposed MP-TLV draft should state clearly that it clarifies the “what constitutes a key” for two TLVs only and such definition(“what constitutes a key”) for other TLVs are left for further studies or clarification.

Even done so, the declaration of “MP-TLV capabilities” has still some vagueness: because such declaration is IS-IS TLV type independent, the communication peers can’t decide the other side has which one of the MP-TLV supported? The interoperability issues will be arose also.

Given there are potential other big IS-IS TLVs
are emerging, the road to solve such problems will be an dead end.
