The IESG has approved the following document: - 'IGP Flexible Algorithms: Bandwidth, Delay, Metrics and Constraints' (draft-ietf-lsr-flex-algo-bw-con-22.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-flex-algo-bw-con/ Technical Summary Many networks configure the link metric relative to the link capacity. High bandwidth traffic gets routed as per the link capacity. Flexible algorithms provide mechanisms to create constraint based paths in an IGP. This draft documents a generic metric type and set of bandwidth related constraints to be used in Flexible Algorithms. 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 was some discussion as to whether or not to include generic metric in the the document or a separate document. After inclusion was agreed to, there was an extensive discussion on the current and future applicability. 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? Yes, there are existing implementations of the document and has been shared in the LSR WG email list Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Acee Lindem. The Responsible Area Director is Gunter Van de Velde.
