Hello!

I would like to know the current status of the
draft-ietf-ospf-abr-alt-04.txt document. It is listed on the workgroup's
homepage at http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/ospf-charter.html but
according to its header, it expired last September.

From the draft it looks like that some vendors already implemented this
draft. I know, that in the GNU zebra routing software, one can configure
the router to use one of the techniques specified in the document. Do
you have any information about how widespread is the implementation of
this draft among the router vendors?

                                Bye,NAR
