Hi Folks,

We are starting a 2 week adoption call on draft-li-lsr-dynamic-flooding-02.

The aim of this document is to describe the problem space and standardize a way to signal dynamic flooding information. It does not standardize any specific algorithm for flooding topology creation.

Authors please respond indicating if you are aware of any IPR related to this work.

We also have another draft (draft-cc-lsr-flooding-reduction-01) that started as a distributed flooding topology algorithm and morphed into that plus competing ideas on signaling of flooding topology information. The intent after adoption of draft-li-lsr-dynamic-flooding-02 is two-fold. One, the WG can discuss adding any signaling ideas from this work to the adopted signaling draft (with proper attribution given as appropriate), and two, for the authors of draft-cc-lsr-flooding-reduction-01 to publish a new document without the signaling portion and instead focus on their flooding topology algorithm. This new focused document can be considered in parallel along with the other algorithm work that has been proposed.

Flooding topology creation is seen as a hard problem for which we don't expect a one-size-fits-all solution. Taking the steps outlined above will help us move forward on the solutions.

Thanks,
Chris & Acee.
LSR WG Chairs.
