Re: Opaque LSA

[Manav Bhatia <[e-mail]>]

Acee,
draft-galand-an-routing-00.txt documents a way to include information on
active routers capabilities in the routing protocols.

The active routers receive code to be executed with the payload of the IP
packets ("active packets") as input. This draft uses Opaque LSAs for
distribution since the information contained in Opaque LSAs may be used
directly by OSPF or indirectly by some application wishing to distribute
information throughout the OSPF domain.

Pl. visit
http://alternic.net/drafts/drafts-g-h/draft-galand-an-routing-00.html for
more details.

Regards,
Manav
