I understand that L3NM is not a device model and that, as such, it is not
intended to include every possible parameter.

However, not leveraging existing work has resulted in inconsistencies: from
using different names to changing implementation expectations.  I believe that
this result impacts the implementation-specific work needed to derive
device-specific actions (using existing models) and potentially reduces the
value of using this network model.

Many WGs in the routing area work on related technology, including bess, idr,
lsr, pim, bfd, rtgwg, and teas. However, I found no evidence in the archives
that any of these WGs were consulted or asked to review this work.

Both points (lack of reuse and lack of review) have been mentioned in the
mailing list, so I assume they have been considered.  This fact and the
existence of multiple implementations lead me to ABSTAIN.
