The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Extensions to OSPF for Advertising Prefix Administrative Tags' (draft-ietf-lsr-ospf-admin-tags-29.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Link State Routing Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Gunter Van de Velde, Jim Guichard and John Scudder. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lsr-ospf-admin-tags/ Technical Summary It is useful for routers in OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 routing domains to be able to associate tags with prefixes. Previously, OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 were relegated to a single tag and only for AS External and Not-So- Stubby-Area (NSSA) prefixes. With the flexible encodings provided by OSPFv2 Prefix/Link Attribute Advertisement and OSPFv3 Extended LSAs, multiple administrative tags may be advertised for all types of prefixes. These administrative tags can be used for many applications including route redistribution policy, selective prefix prioritization, selective IP Fast-ReRoute (IPFRR) prefix protection, and many others. Working Group Summary Was there anything in the WG process that is worth noting? For example, was there controversy about particular points or were there decisions where the consensus was particularly rough? There has been no controversy and a strong and broad consensus for publishing this document. Document Quality Are there existing implementations of the protocol? Have a significant number of vendors indicated their plan to implement the specification? Are there any reviewers that merit special mention as having done a thorough review, e.g., one that resulted in important changes or a conclusion that the document had no substantive issues? If there was a MIB Doctor, Media Type, or other Expert Review, what was its course (briefly)? In the case of a Media Type Review, on what date was the request posted? No known implementations exist however, there are a couple existing drafts that need to use the feature (draft-cheng-lsr-igp-shortcut-enhancement, draft-li-lsr-igp-based-intra-domain-savnet). Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Christian Hopps. The Responsible Area Director is Gunter Van de Velde.
