Technical Summary
This document specifies extensions to OSPF Router Informational
(RI) to for an OSPF router to advertise its Seamless BFD
discriminators. The scope of an advertisement can be an OSPF area
or the entire OSPF routing domain. The architecture for seamless
BFD is described in "Seamless Bidirectional Forwarding Detection
(S-BFD)" - draft-ietf-bfd-seamless-base-05.
Working Group Summary
The document is an adjunct to the Seamless-BFD work being done in
the BFD WG. It is very straight-forward and there hasn't been
many comments.
During WG last call, it was noted that the behavior must be
specified when there are multiple instances of the S-BFD
discriminator TLV. This comment was subsequently handled.
The question of multiple S-BFD discriminators was also discussed
in reference to the base Seamless BFD draft. This results in
much discussion with appropriate text added to the base document
indicating that this was basically a local matter and outside the
scope of the standard.
Document Quality
This document has been a WG document for some time and is being
advanced now that the seamless BFD work is being advanced in
the BFD working group.
