The IESG has approved the following document: - 'IGP Flexible Algorithms Reverse Affinity Constraint' (draft-ietf-lsr-igp-flex-algo-reverse-affinity-11.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-igp-flex-algo-reverse-affinity/ Technical Summary An IGP Flexible Algorithm (Flex-Algorithm) enables the computation of constraint-based paths within an IGP domain, allowing operators to influence path selection according to administrative policies. This document defines an extension to Flex-Algorithm that allows the inclusion or exclusion of links from path computation based on Administrative Groups (also known as link affinities) associated with the reverse direction of the path under computation. This extension enhances the path selection capabilities of Flex- Algorithm by enabling reverse-affinity-based constraints, which are particularly useful for scenarios where path symmetry or directional link attributes are operationally significant. 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? Teh procedure to come to current state went smooth and without controverse 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? At least one implementation is confirmed to exist. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Acee Lindem. The Responsible Area Director is Gunter Van de Velde.
