Tony, Les,
I believe we can all agree that we do not want to change the behavior of
existing implementations that support MP-TLVs based on the advertisements of the
MP-capability from other routers - it would break existing networks. Even the
text in the MP-TLV draft does not suggest that to be the case.
Are people not looking at the spreadsheet Tony put together?
Which implicit multi-part TLVs are these "existing implementations" advertising
that keep getting referred to? Please let's work with real data -- the spreadsheet shows
a grand total of *0* TLVs that could fall in this category.
then the spreadsheet is incorrect.
I know of implementation that can send and receive Multi part TLVs for
IPv4/IPv6 (MT) IP Reach, (MT) Extended IS reachability and IS-IS Router
CAPABILITY TLV to start with.
thanks,
Peter
Thanks,
Chris.
I find the discussion about advertising supported capabilities for management
purposes in IGPs interesting, but not specific, nor directly related to the
MP-TLV draft. Keeping the two separate would make a lot of sense.
my 2c,
Peter

Sorry, I’m not on board with this. The two functions would end up
disconnected, all the way to the field.
