Hi, As Les suggested in his email, below, I re-reviewed the first WG adoption thread and the delta between the version proposed for the first WG adoption and the version proposed for the second WG adoption, and I completely agree with him that this is a gratuitous and ill-advised change to the IGPs. The only reason advanced for its adoption, in either adoption call, is the groundless assertion that somehow it is a better way of identifying inter-AS links, which seems to be nonsense based upon the past thirty or more years of experience.

Please do heed Chris's (as WG chair) admonition to review the first WG adoption thread. That will reveal to you what the substantive objections were. https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/lsr/Li7wJsaY68gzJ8mXxff7K-Fy_nw/ https://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=lsr%40ietf.org&q=stub+link&x=0&y=0 Please also do examine the delta between the previous version which was put up for WG adoption (V3) and the current version (V8) so you can see what has changed. https://author-tools.ietf.org/iddiff?url1=draft-wang-lsr-stub-link-attributes-03&url2=draft-wang-lsr-stub-link-attributes-08&difftype=--html Some facts: The substantive objections raised during the first adoption call had nothing to do with use cases - they had to do with: a)The use of a prefix to identify a link between two nodes is a flawed concept. It is not robust enough to be used in cases of unnumbered or Pt-2-MP. b)Existing mechanisms (RFC 9346/was RFC 5316 and RFC 5392) fully cover the potential use cases and do so more robustly than the Stub-link proposal. The latest version of the draft makes no substantive changes to the stub link concept or its advertisement. The only substantive change in the latest version is a reorganization of the presentation of use cases. But lack of clarity in the use cases was not the basis on which first WG adoption call was rejected. In this thread (the second WG adoption call), the authors have asserted that they have addressed the concerns raised in the previous adoption call. They have not. The concept and mechanism to identify a stub link has not changed. In this thread the authors continue to assert that RFC 9346/RFC 5392 cannot address the use cases. This is FALSE. As has been pointed out repeatedly, the existing mechanisms provide a robust means to uniquely identify inter-AS links using endpoint identifiers - be they IPv4/IPv6 addresses or Link IDs. This addresses all cases - numbered and unnumbered. There is therefore no need for a new mechanism. No fact-based argument has been made to justify reconsideration of WG adoption. I hope when people post their opinions, that they consider the facts.
