Speaking specifically about IS-IS, why would we need to invent yet another type
of advertisement specifically for remote LFA? Here's a snippet from RFC 5305
Section 4.3:
<snip>
The router ID TLV contains the 4-octet router ID of the router
originating the LSP. This is useful in several regards:
For traffic engineering, it guarantees that we have a single
stable address that can always be referenced in a path that will
be reachable from multiple hops away, regardless of the state of
the node's interfaces...
If a router does not implement traffic engineering, it MAY add or
omit the Traffic Engineering router ID TLV.
<end snip>
Does this not provide exactly what is required for remote LFA support? And the
RFC even specifically allows this to be present even if TE is not in use. What
would your suggested "advertise the transport IP address do" that is not
already done by TLV 134 (and the matching IP reachability advertisement)???
