Hi Acee,

Many thanks for your clarification and support.
This work was heavily inspired by you and Jari’s OSPF-autoconf [RFC7503]. I believe these autoconf technologies could benefit network operation in the future.

Best regards,
Bing

I'm not really convinced that this will really be implemented in a home network or small enterprise networks, as ISIS isn't a protocol widely supported on that platforms.

I was thinking more about shortest path bridging switch autodiscovery, but this is only my own opinion.



[Bing] I agree ISIS is not widely supported on small devices nowadays. But I think it might has the potential in the future.

Actually, In Homenet the ISIS is already in the short list for their routing protocol choice (http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-mrw-homenet-rtg-comparison/)

Speaking as the Routing Area advisor to homenet:

Agreed. I would support going forward with this work. Even if the homenet WG doesn’t select IS-IS outright, the fact that it made it to the short list indicates that there is a requirement.

Thanks,
Acee






[Uma]:  Sure,  though still it’s complicated situation in Homenet, IS-IS is not out.  Some of you may aware, there was a design team formed including routing experts and

Homenet experts to come out with recommendations for the suitable RP for their needs.



And there is also some operator showed explicit requirement for ISIS in home routers.



[Uma]: We too have some discussions on this internally and I see the potential for future requests..

               IMO, this work should be progressed by closing on the corner cases further and I support this.



Cheers!
