Dear Authors, Let me just ask one little question ....
It seems that ISIS protocol already meets a "Link State Over Ethernet" definition so why to invent anything new here ? If you don't like flooding properties of ISIS just disable it. Do not flood. Do not run SPF in ISIS. Use ISIS only for p2p discovery. You get for free out of the box all what you are trying to describe in the subject document. Integrating open source ISIS code just for discovery (ie. not worring about optimizations of flooding, back-off, timers, spf etc ...) will be IMO much faster even using any apache license existing implementation of ISIS. Last - as Toerless already indicated - solving inevitable inconsistencies of running LSOE, CDP & LLDP between various devices or in parallel on the same links is something that should be addressed from day one. Unless you assume that if someone is to use LSVR is will also have LSOE and any other alternative discovery mechanisms will be disabled. Best, RR.
