The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Area Proxy for IS-IS' (draft-ietf-lsr-isis-area-proxy-12.txt) as Experimental RFC
This document is the product of the Link State Routing Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Jim Guichard, Andrew Alston and John Scudder. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lsr-isis-area-proxy/ Technical Summary Link state routing protocols have hierarchical abstraction already built into them. However, when lower levels are used for transit, they must expose their internal topologies to each other, leading to scale issues. To avoid this, this document discusses extensions to the IS-IS routing protocol that allow level 1 areas to provide transit, yet only inject an abstraction of the level 1 topology into level 2. Each level 1 area is represented as a single level 2 node, thereby enabling greater scale. Working Group Summary Shepherd writeup indicates broad consensus and no controversy. The WG agreed on experimental track for this document. Document Quality Shepherd writeup mentions one known shipping implementation. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Christian Hopps. The Responsible Area Director is John Scudder. _______________________________________________ Lsr mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/lsr
