Hi Acee, Adrian,

This is very late, but better than never ๐Ÿ˜Š

I read rfc4204 and see the following:

   The two core procedures of LMP are control channel management and
   link property correlation.  Control channel management is used to
   establish and maintain control channels between adjacent nodes.  This
   is done using a Config message exchange and a fast keep-alive
   mechanism between the nodes.
   ...
   LMP requires that a pair of nodes have at least one active bi-
   directional control channel between them.
   ...
   An "LMP adjacency" is formed between two nodes when at least one bi-
   directional control channel is established between them.
   ...
   The link property correlation function of LMP is designed to
   aggregate multiple data links (ports or component links) into a TE
   link and to synchronize the properties of the TE link
   ...
   LMP messages are transmitted reliably using Message_Ids and
   retransmissions.

The above shows that LMP is not a fit for our purpose.
While writing the above, I realized that Adrian's comment is "are you sure this 
isn't going to grow into LMP" ๐Ÿ˜ŠThanks for the reminder - we'll make sure of 
that ๐Ÿ˜Š In fact, we removed the acknowledgment option in the -01 revision - we 
concluded that it is not needed and the option would require the adjacency 
management which we don't want.

Similarly, because of the following with L3DL:

   Two devices discover each other and their respective identities by
   sending multicast HELLO PDUs (Section 10).  To assure discovery of
   new devices coming up on a multi-link topology, devices on such a
   topology, and only on a multi-link topology, send periodic HELLOs
   forever, see Section 19.1.

   Once a new device is recognized, both devices attempt to negotiate
   and establish a session by sending unicast OPEN PDUs (Section 11) to
   the source MAC addresses (plus VIDs if VLANs) of the received HELLOs.

L3DL is not a good fit either. We only need/want a (quick) flooding mechanism 
for both local and remote scenarios - w/o maintaining adjacencies/sessions.

Thanks.
Jeffrey

Hi Acee, Adrian,

Sorry that I did not respond to this earlier - crazy time before and after 
IETF. We will look into these references and get back.

Thanks.
Jeffrey
