Re: [pim] call for adoption: draft-zhou-pim-vrrp-01

Hi all,

This draft reminds me that there has been a draft (http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-xu-pim-drpriority-auto-adjustment-03) three years before which uses almost the same technology to save almost the same problem.

The following is quoted from the above draft:

   "In fact, if VRRP is run on the PIM routers and the VRRP has enabled
   the upstream link tracking mechanism, the PIM DR failover mechanism
   could be coupled with the VRRP so as to reuse the upstream link
   tracking mechanism of VRRP. One option is to synchronize the PIM DR
   priority value to the VRRP priority value always. In this way, the
   PIM DR and the VRRP master will always run on an identical router if
   the VRRP Preempt_Mode is set to True. Another option is to make the
   PIM DR and the VRRP master run on an identical router anyway (i.e.,
   regardless whether or not the VRRP Preempt_Mode is True). To achieve
   this goal, the PIM DR priority of the VRRP master router SHOULD
   always be set to a higher fixed value than that of the VRRP slave
   router automatically."

Best regards,
Xiaohu
