Technical Summary
OSPFv2 requires functional extension beyond what can readily be done
with the fixed-format Link State Advertisements (LSAs) as described
in RFC 2328.This document defines OSPF opaque LSAs based on Type-
Length-Value (TLV) tuples that can be used to associate additional
attributes with prefixes or links.
Working Group Summary
There has been much discusson about the protocol operations
when the extended prefix TLVs appear multiple times in the OPAQUE
LSA and different flooding scope of the extended Prefix LSA.
As a result of the discussion, the document has been updated with
details of receive side handling for all the cases along with
recommended behaviours for send side to minimize disruptions
in the network.
Document Quality
This document has been a WG document for a little under one year.
It is stable, without changes to the technical solution for more
than three months.
Additionally, the document has been successfully implemented by
interoperability tested by multiple vendors as indicated by the
implementation status section.
