Dear Sami, Himanshu, et al.,
At presentation fo LDP Extensions to control LI/LB you've suggested that control of LB state should be done through data plane only. Is that correct understanding of your comments? But the RFC 6435 in Section 4 states that LB function can be configured by management plane. Hence I ask if signaling protocol can be viewed as part of management plane and thus the proposed extension is compliant with the RFC 6435.
Your comments and questions greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Greg
