Hi Acee, Les,

Good suggestion, happy to make the title more explicit on the next version of the draft.

<tp>

Loading up an identifier with lots of semantics rendering it cumbersome is  a pet hate of mine, but you have already done that:-(  At least it is only an ephemeral name that vanishes and has no relevance once a specification becomes an RFC

Changing the name to another one is even worse.  It makes it hard to track what the history of an I-D is.  You need to know where to look on the IETF website to find the old names.  I have known ADs who failed the test and did not find the early versions of an I-D at Last Call.  

In this case,  it could make it hard to find the discussion about adoption which seems to be as much against as for.  I echo the thought that the protocols have got themselves into a tangle, too many ways of doing the same thing, and while the marketplace will decide, that can take several years and leave some frustrated that what was obviously the best approach has fallen by the wayside.

Tom Petch

Thanks

I agree – for many of us, “fr” will always bring frame relay to mind first…

I also support adoption.

Regarding the draft name, “fr” is quite cryptic and somewhat ambiguous.

“draft-head-idr-bgp-ls-isis-flood-reflection” would align the name with the LSR draft – but if that is considered too long maybe “draft-head-idr-bgp-ls-isis-freflect” ??

I support WG adoption – the corresponding LSR draft has completed WG last call and is awaiting AD review.

Thanks,
Acee

This begins a 2 week WG adoption call for draft-head-idr-bgp-ls-isis-fr-01.txt

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-head-idr-bgp-ls-isis-fr/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-head-idr-bgp-ls-isis-fr/__;!!NEt6yMaO-gk!CafxHn3pbZysrIyVSxj84fABHpIaBa6N9ARiX1QpzY1aZZA_zdNvXbzlu0c5O_XryeexWrPa3CclpsKqYxOn2MWio074HA$>

  This document defines one new BGP-LS (BGP Link-State) TLV for
   Flood Reflection to match the ISIS TLV for flood reduction.

   The draft is short (5 total pages).

Since this BGP-LS feature has been adopted by IS-IS,
Please consider


1.       Is there any technical difficulty with adding this to the BGP-LS code points?
2.   Is this draft ready for publication?
3.   Does this addition help operational networks.

Cheers, Sue Hares
