The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Dynamic Flooding on Dense Graphs' (draft-ietf-lsr-dynamic-flooding-18.txt) as Experimental RFC
This document is the product of the Link State Routing Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Gunter Van de Velde, Jim Guichard and John Scudder. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lsr-dynamic-flooding/ Technical Summary Routing with link state protocols in dense network topologies can result in sub-optimal convergence times due to the overhead associated with flooding. This can be addressed by decreasing the flooding topology so that it is less dense. This document discusses the problem in some depth and an architectural solution. Specific protocol changes for IS-IS, OSPFv2, and OSPFv3 are described in this document. Working Group Summary Per the shepherd writeup, "Initially, there was a controversy with respect to distributed vs centralized computation of the flooding topology. The draft evolved to support either model." Document Quality Per the shepherd writeup, "There is one existing implementation. It is not reported formally due to a change in affiliation of the primary author." Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Acee Lindem. The Responsible Area Director is John Scudder. _______________________________________________ Lsr mailing list Lsr@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/lsr
