Folks

I have read draft-acee-ospfv3-lsa-extend-00 and found it interesting.  It is clearly non-back-compatible with existing implementations of OSPFv3, but there is not much in the draft about the requirements.  Could the authors please give some more details on what is driving the need for the LSA extensions?

We can add references to the draft that are dependent on this extension.

http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-baker-ipv6-ospf-dst-flowlabel-routing-02.txt
http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-baker-ipv6-ospf-dst-src-routing-02.txt

There are other applications as well. For example, the previous draft supporting IPv4 and IPv6 in a single address family and multiple topologies in a single instance.

As an aside, the draft does not appear on the WG’s Documents page on the IETF site.  Is this because the draft should have “ospf” in its title, that is, “draft-acee-ospf-ospfv3-lsa-extend”?

This is because it not a WG document yet.

Thanks,
Acee
