[Isis-wg] draft-amante-isis-reverse-metric-01

[Shane Amante <[e-mail]>]

Hi Everyone,

The authors wish to announce a new version of this draft has been published.  It is a substantial revision from the -00 version, based on comments received on the list.  Some of the notable, high-level changes are as follows:
- changed the procedure so that a receiver of a Reverse Metric TLV treats the recv'd Metric value as 'additive' to its existing, configured default-metric (instead of 'overwriting' its existing, configured default-metric);
- narrowed the scope of the draft to discuss only making changes to a neighbor's default-metric;
- added support for MT-ISIS;
- added Security Considerations section;
... as well as a substantial overall reorganization to hopefully make the draft easier to read and follow.

We welcome your comments and questions.

Thanks!

This document describes an improved IS-IS neighbor management scheme
which can be used to enhance network performance by allowing
operators to quickly and accurately shift traffic away from a point-
to-point or multi-access LAN interface by allowing one IS-IS router
to signal to a second, adjacent IS-IS neighbor to adjust its IS-IS
metric that should be used to temporarily reach the first IS-IS
router during network maintenance events.
