I will accept whatever the consensus is.

Stewart,

It seems to me that this document is not qualitatively different from the LFA, RLFA, and

node-protecting LFA RFCs which were all published as standards track. The behavior of the PLR

in those documents is also a local matter, and in principle can be deployed on a single router without

the knowledge of the rest of the network (except for allowing establishment of targeted LDP

sessions in the case of remote LFA).

Publishing this draft as standards track seems to be consistent with the decision made on those drafts.

Hi Chris

An RFC is surely sufficient to specify the behaviour of the router, and communicate to others the capability of a product.

If multiple routers needed to act identically across the network I could see ST as better, but this is really a single router feature.

    As a WG participant, I think standards track makes most sense,
    since it specifies a precise behavior for a router under certain
    conditions.  It is likely that network operators and software
    implementers will want to use the document as a means of
    communicating about whether or not a given implementation supports
    that precise behavior.  In my opinion, a standards track document
    is the best format to support that interaction.

    I support advancement and publication of this draft.  I think we
    should have the discussion of whether or not it should be
    standards track, BCP, or informational as invariably this question
    will arise during all the reviews.

    Thanks,

        RTGWG,

        This email starts the two week WG last call for
        draft-ietf-rtgwg-uloop-delay.

        https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-rtgwg-uloop-delay/

        Please indicate support for or opposition to the publication
        of this

        standards track document, along with the reasoning for that
        support or

        opposition.

        IPR:

        If you are listed as a document author or contributor, please
        respond to

        this email stating whether or not you are aware of any
        relevant IPR. The

        response needs to be sent to the RTGWG mailing list. The
        document will

        not advance to the next stage until a response has been
        received from

        each author and each individual that has contributed to the
        document.

        The document currently has the following IPR disclosure
        associated

        with it.
