Regarding a) I guess we already do it for NSSA anyway setting the E-bit, so
it would already be done for the type5to7 already, so the issue would not
hold.

Thanks,
Vishwas

Hi Pat,

Two small comments: -

a) Shouldn't the translator now set the E-bit in its router LSA into the
NSSA area because according to step 3 Section 3.5 of the NSSA draft none of
the translated NSSA LSA's would be considered for the routing table
calculation and the entire purpose of 5to7 would be defeated.

I couldn't find the fact stated in the draft. Or did I miss it?

b)  Regarding the translator election for the elected translator, we could
as well just have the guy with the lowest router-id become translator this
can be done without actually adding any change to packets and can be done as
part of the 7to5 translator election.

Thanks,
Vishwas
