[OSPF] [ospf-sr] regarding Algorithm TLV and other TLVs in RI LSA

[Veerendranatha Reddy Vallem <[e-mail]>]

Dear Authors,

1.      As per section 3.1 SR- Algorithm TLV ,



       "If the SR-Algorithm sub-TLV appears in multiple Router Information LSAs

          that have different flooding scopes, the SR-Algorithm sub-TLV in the Router Information LSA with

          the lowest flooding scope SHOULD be used."



      "The RI LSA can be advertised at any of the defined opaque flooding
       scopes (link, area, or Autonomous System (AS)).  For the purpose of
       SR-Algorithm TLV advertisement, area scope flooding is required."

      As per first  statement, we should use lowest scope (Ex: if the algorithm TLV is received in AS ,Area and link, then link SR algorithm is preferred)
       But second statement indicates we use area scope for algorithm TLV. These two statements may cause little confusion while implementation.
      As per my understanding,  Area scope will be preferred since Node visibility is at area scope.


2.      Even "SR Local Block Sub-TLV SRMS and Preference Sub-TLV" are top level TLVs in RI LSA like SR-Algorithm TLV and "SID/Label Range TLV", may be it is better to replace "Sub TLV" with TLV.





Thanks and Regards,
