Re: [Lsr] 答复: 答复: Option B from "Migration between normal flooding and flooding reduction"

Hi Aijun, 
The current machinery supports a model where you can have as many area leader candidates as you believe you need for redundancy. It is deployment dependent on how many you have. We really want the same machinery to handle both failure or the area leader or changes to the configuration of the flooding algorithm. However, I'd expect the latter to be a rare event. 
Thanks,
Acee

    Hi, Peter:

    Under the current mechanism, only all the candidate area leaders stop advertise this sub-TLV, then the network will be back to normal flooding?
    Is it more efficient that only one area leader indicates(according to the command from NMS) explicitly then the network will be back to normal flooding?

    For the number of candidate area leaders, I support we should have more than one for consideration of redundancy.

    no timer needed, all event driven. Area Leader sub-TLV is removed from the LSP.

    thanks,

Not that I am advocating it nor see need for complex migration procedures, but just would like to better understand the "resign" part.
