The IESG has received a request from the IS-IS for IP Internets WG (isis) to consider the following document: - 'IS-IS Minimum Remaining Lifetime' <draft-ietf-isis-remaining-lifetime-01.txt> as Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2016-08-15. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Corruption of the Remainining Lifetime Field in a Link State PDU can go undetected. In certain scenarios this may cause or exacerbate flooding storms. It is also a possible denial of service attack vector. This document defines a backwards compatible solution to this problem. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-isis-remaining-lifetime/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-isis-remaining-lifetime/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
