Hi, Tony:

How the receiver judge the leader has stopped advertising the Area Leader 
sub-TLV? Do you need some timers?

no timer needed, all event driven. Area Leader sub-TLV is removed from the LSP.

thanks,
Peter

From the current discussion, I think the explicit instruction that proposed by 
Huaimo is more acceptable.


Best Regards.

主题: Re: [Lsr] Option B from "Migration between normal flooding and flooding 
reduction"


Hi Robert,

The current draft is pretty robust in terms of area leader election. It also says 
that  "Any node that is capable MAY advertise its eligibility to become Area 
Leader”


Correct.  This can be all systems. It can be one. For redundancy, a few would 
be sensible.


With that can you confirm the procedure to "resign" as area leader ?


Stop advertising the Area Leader sub-TLV.  It’s that simple.


Especially that under those circumstances just having active area leader to 
resign clearly is not enough to change given flooding scheme.


If there are multiple potential area leaders, then all of them would have to 
resign.


In some deployments all eligible nodes may advertise such capability which in turn the 
"resign" procedure would require NMS action to disable such capability by configuration 
and re-flooding it. Not that I am advocating it nor see need for complex migration procedures, but 
just would like to better understand the "resign" part.


Correct, this is rightfully an NMS operation.

Tony
