I see no need for “abstraction at arbitrary boundaries”. Areas work just fine.

IS-IS already has smooth transition capability for merging/splitting areas.

Given both of the points above, I see no value in “smooth transition to/from 
zone abstraction”.

If these are the principal distinguishing characteristics of TTZ as compared to 
area proxy (and I would agree they are), then I see no reason why this solution 
should be pursued as well.

I am therefore opposed to WG adoption of TTZ.

Subject: [Lsr] LSR WG Adoption Poll for "IS-IS Topology-Transparent Zone" - 
draft-chen-isis-ttz-11.txt


Based on the discussions in the last meeting and on the mailing list regarding 
draft-chen-isis-ttz-11, the chairs feel that there are enough differences with 
draft-ietf-lsr-isis-area-proxy-03 and in the community to consider advancing it 
independently on the experimental track.

These differences include abstraction at arbitrary boundaries and IS-IS 
extensions for smooth transition to/from zone abstraction.

We are now starting an LSR WG adoption call for draft-chen-isis-ttz-11.txt. 
Please indicate your support or objection to adoption prior to Tuesday, 
September 2nd, 2020.

Thanks,
Acee and Chris
