Re: [Idr] New version of draft-wang-idr-eag-distribution-00

["Jan Medved (jmedved)" <[e-mail]>]

Eric,

since BGP-LS has proven to be useful for distributing data other than link
state, we will keep finding new stuff that is “missing". So, as Hannes
pointed out, do we want to keep the document in a perpetual draft state,
or move it forward and define other types of stuff in different drafts?

In other words, is having EAG in the draft/RFC a necessary condition to
make the distribution of link-state function properly? Or is it a
necessary part of the NLRI/Attribute infrastructure proposed in the draft
to support distribution of LS (and other types of) data? If not, IMO it
merits its own draft.

Moreover, by adding EAG into the base BGP-LS draft we will make it a
mandatory requirement for all implementers to deal with it. At this point,
interoperability testing has been finished, and the draft and the
implementations have been aligned. We may have to restart the whole
process. There are plenty of examples of drafts/RFCs of similar scope that
augment some existing draft. I don’t see a reason why this should be a big
deal.



Thanks,
Jan
