The document, along with other ballot positions, can be found here: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ospf-te-metric-extensions/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMENT: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A couple of minor, non-blocking comments, just looking for a little clarification: -- Section 7 -- I can't imagine that the "SHOULD" in the first paragraph is an appropriate 2119 key word: no one can tell whether or not care was taken, so this can't be a protocol issue. Please just say "Therefore it is important to set these values carefully." For the remaining "SHOULD"s, "SHOULD NOT", and "RECOMMENDED" in this section: remembering that "SHOULD" means that "there may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to ignore a particular item, but the full implications must be understood and carefully weighed before choosing a different course," how can someone reading this understand and weigh those implications? I can't: I have no idea why these recommendations are being made, and what the implications are of making different choices. Can you help me here? Or are these just recommended values, in the lower-case, plain English sense? _______________________________________________ OSPF mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ospf
