Status update for WG
lsr

The Link-State Routing (LSR) Working Group is chartered to document current protocol implementation practices and improvements, protocol usage scenarios, maintenance and extensions of the link-state interior gateway routing protocols (IGPs) - specifically IS-IS, OSPFv2, and OSPFv3. The LSR Working Group was formed by merging the ISIS and OSPF WGs and assigning all their existing adopted work at the time of chartering to LSR.

Current areas of interest in the LSR WG include:

 * Segment Routing Extensions: The IS-IS, OSPFv2, and OSPFv3 extensions for the MPLS data plane are either on the RFC queue or in the final review cycle. 

   - OSPF Segment Routing Extensions - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ospf-segment-routing-extensions/
   - IS-IS Segment Routing Extensions - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-isis-segment-routing-extensions/
   - OSPFv3 Segment Routing Extensions - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ospf-ospfv3-segment-routing-extensions/
   - Segment Routing in the MPLS Data Plane - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-spring-segment-routing-mpls/


 * Segment Routing Extensions based for IPv6 are being developed. 

   - IS-IS Extensions to Support Routing over IPv6 Data Plane - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-bashandy-isis-srv6-extensions/

 * YANG Modeling: The base OSPF YANG Model has completed WG last call and is ready for publication request. The base IS-IS model will follow shortly. We have various model drafts for extensions that can be progressed now that the base models are nearly publication. The relevant YANG model drafts include:

 * The following YANG models are awating AD Review:     

    - YANG Data Model for OSPF Protocol - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ospf-yang/
    - YANG Data Model for IS-IS Protocol - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-isis-yang-isis-cfg/

 *  The following are being developed.

    - YANG Data Model for OSPF Segment Routing - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ospf-sr-yang/
    - YANG Data Model for IS-IS Segment Routing - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-isis-sr-yang/
    - YANG Model for OSPFv3 Extended LSAs - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-acee-lsr-ospfv3-extended-lsa-yang/

 * Computation Optimizations: There are both WG documents and individual proposals to improve the LSR route computation. These include: 

    - IGP Flexible Algorithm - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lsr-flex-algo/
    - OSPF Routing with Cross-Address Family Traffic Engineering Tunnels - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ospf-xaf-te/

 * Link Attribute Advertisement: OSPF and ISIS will allow application specific link attributes. These drafts will be WG last called shortly after IETF 104. 

    - IS-IS TE App - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-isis-te-app/
    - OSPF Link Traffic Engineering (TE) Attribute Reuse - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ospf-te-link-attr-reuse/

 * Data Center (DC) Routing Optimizations - We have adopted the base dynamic flooding draft. This draft doesn't specify the algorithm and work on algorithms can now proceed in separate drafts. 

 * The following are WG documents with updates at Prague: 

    - IS-IS Spine Leaf - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lsr-isis-spine-leaf-ext
    - Dynamic flooding - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lsr-dynamic-flooding
