Reviewer: Brian Trammell Review result: Ready This document has been reviewed as part of the transport area review team's ongoing effort to review key IETF documents. These comments were written primarily for the transport area directors, but are copied to the document's authors and WG to allow them to address any issues raised and also to the IETF discussion list for information.
When done at the time of IETF Last Call, the authors should consider this review as part of the last-call comments they receive. Please always CC [email protected] if you reply to or forward this review. Assuming the routing aspects of it are sound, this document is ready from a transport standpoint. This informational document describes an approach to speeding BGP convergence utilizing multiple next-hops; if widely deployed, it would lead to an increased prevalence of ECMP on interdomain paths during this convergence. It therefore trades off more transport-visible reordering for faster convergence time. However, given the prevalence of ECMP routing inside networks, transport protocols must already tolerate this reordering, so the marginal impact on transport of this proposal is minimal. _______________________________________________ rtgwg mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/rtgwg
