I am making no comment about BGP by the title. I am drafting some text
to better explain the relationship with BGP.
Regarding the title, it is draft-halpern-rtgwg because problem statement
dispatch for routing, as I understand it, is an RTGWG function. I
didn't add -igp- to the filename because I dislike creating long draft
names. For me, the draft filename never gives the whole story, so I
didn't worry about being completely precise in the filename.
Yorus,
Joel

Hi Joel,
Can you explain why the title of the draft is not consistent with its
filename ?
Specifically you are talking about IGP ... but the title says rtgwg ?
Are you trying to say that "The IGP is not a Dump Truck" but BGP is ?
Thx,
R.

Calling your attention to a draft I just submitted, with some
co-authors.
It is a problem statement draft, outlining an approach to
improving IGP robustness by moving quasi-stable information not
need for routing convergence out of the IGP. The basic question
is whether the community is interesting in improving this
behavior. If so, we can decide whether it goes to LSR or gets a
new working group.
Thank you,
Joel
