Hi Pablo,
I really don't think it is a good idea to use a layer-2 discovery protocol to
install routes in the IP(v6) RIB - akin to "bringing a knife to a gun fight".
We explicitly avoided installing any routes in

Also, RIPv2
Hi Pablo,
It seems like your main justification for attempting to put routing into
LLDP is condensed in the below quote from the draft:
*"This requires the provisioning of a BGP stack on the host, the
configuration *
*a BGP session between the host and the leaf router."*
Well as you know these d
RFC9131 does for IPv6.
LLDP seems to me to be the wrong tool for the job. LLDP support may be
common, however ARP and ND are required for all IPv4 or IPv6
implementations (or at least IPv4 implementations post the invention of
Ethernet).
Regards,
Mark.

Does IPv4 ARP or IPv6 ND already do the job of advertising host IP addresses to
their attached routers?

Hi Pablo,
Thank you for sharing your insights and ideas with us. It’s great to see the
alignment in our thoughts, as we have been working on a similar concept.
During the IETF 121 meeting, we presented our idea at SPRING and received
valuable feedback from the experts.
At the upcoming
Hi all,
We have submitted a draft describing an extension to LLDP to allow hosts to
advertise their IP prefixes to their attached routers, which can then propagate
the reachability of those host prefixes into routing protocols for enabling
network-wide connectivity.
Any feedback is welcomed.
Hi Pablo,
Thanks for sharing.
Some time ago we were working on this to mostly address issues in BESS. Niraj
was driving this.

At the time we also discussed whether to define the new TLVs for LLDPv2 or for
L3DL, which is t
