Re: [Idr] I-D Action: draft-ietf-idr-ext-opt-param-09.txt

[John Scudder <[e-mail]>]

Hi All,

This is just a version bump to keep the draft alive. We finished WGLC a while back and in reviewing the datatracker records, all we’re waiting for is to flesh out the implementation report:

https://trac.ietf.org/trac/idr/wiki/draft-ietf-idr-ext-opt-param%20implementations

I’ll work on that (with the help of a few of you others, I hope) and hopefully we can RFC this soon. If anyone else has an implementation to add to the report, please do so, or if editing the wiki is too much for you, email your report to me or to the list.

Thanks,

—John
