The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Prefix Flag Extension for OSPFv2 and OSPFv3' (draft-ietf-lsr-ospf-prefix-extended-flags-07.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 Ketan Talaulikar. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lsr-ospf-prefix-extended-flags/ Technical Summary Each OSPF prefix can be advertised with an 8-bit field to indicate specific properties of that prefix. However, all the OSPFv3 Prefix Options bits have already been assigned and only a few bits remain unassigned in the flags field of the OSPFv2 Extended Prefix TLV. This document solves the problem of insufficient prefix options bits by defining variable-length Prefix Attribute Flags Sub-TLV for OSPF. 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? This is a simple OSPF maintenance document that adds TLVs for OSPF prefixes. 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 implementations yet, however new WG documents (draft-ietf-lsr-anycast-flag) requires this technology Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Acee Lindem. The Responsible Area Director is Gunter Van de Velde.
