Hi Shraddha,
Thanks for taking care of some of the comments shared previously. Please find
below some more that were probably missed or not taken care of.
1) I see that the use of link-local scope RI LSA has still been retained in
this version and not sure why. RI LSA is for node attributes and it's use for
signalling of link is not right IMO. Why not use the link-local scope Extended
Link LSA instead?
an alternative would be to always flood area scope Extended Link LSA. It
should not harm anything and could be used by other routers in area as a
"heads-up" that remote link is becoming overloaded.
2) Sec 5.1, why is advertising of MAX-METRIC for the link to be overloaded a
SHOULD and not a MUST? Isn't this mandatory to ensure backward compatibility?
What if the router on which overload is signalled does not do MAX-METRIC but
the implementation on the remote side end up doing MAX-METRIC. Would it not
result in asymmetric metric in a un-intended manner? Please consider changing
all SHOULD here to MUST to ensure backward compatibility.
3) Sec 5.4, can you please make similar change in language related to the
RFC4203 reference as you've done in other parts in this version?
Also I don't agree with the rationale you've given for not using LLS for the
link-local signalling. Even if the hello processing were delegated to the LC,
there are already a lot of protocol events which can happen via hello packets
(which includes LLS) that require signalling update to the control plane OSPF
main process. An implementation aspect such as this should hardly be a good
reason to not use LLS for link-local signalling such as overload.
+1 on the above.
thanks,
Peter
Thanks,

OSPF WG,
New version of the ospf-link-overload draft is posted.
Editorial comments received so far have been addressed in this version.
There was one comments to move the link-overload sub-TLV to LLS in hello
messages.
Many implementations delegate the Hello processing to linecards/different
deamons
Once adjacency is established. Hello messages are not sent to control plane
post adjacency establishment. The link-overload information typically needs to
be processed
after adjacency establishment, it introduces unnecessary complexity in hello
processing.
We had a discussion among authors on this and feel advertising link-overload
sub-TLV
in the LSAs is the most appropriate mechanism.

Abstract:
When a link is being prepared to be taken out of service, the traffic
needs to be diverted from both ends of the link. Increasing the
metric to the highest metric on one side of the link is not
sufficient to divert the traffic flowing in the other direction.
It is useful for routers in an OSPFv2 or OSPFv3 routing domain to be
able to advertise a link being in an overload state to indicate
impending maintenance activity on the link. This information can be
used by the network devices to re-route the traffic effectively.
This document describes the protocol extensions to disseminate link-
overload information in OSPFv2 and OSPFv3.
