Hi, Peter:

Currently, the inter-AS link TLV is advertised within the Inter-AS-TE-LSA for 
OSPF and Inter-AS Reachability TLV for ISIS.
But I think these two places are not suitable for the stub-link information.

It seems that separating the stub-link information from the inter-as link 
information is better, because not all of the stub-links are inter-as link. 
If so, can we put the newly defined Stub-Link TLV within the Router LSA for 
OSPF and make it one new top TLV for ISIS?


Best Regards

Aijun Wang

yes, unless you can use or extend the existing inter-AS link advertisement.

thanks,
