Hi, Tony


There is a device restart problem

In draft-ietf-rift-rift-08 Figure 2, N-TIE of Leaf111 flooded to ToF21 via Spine111. Seq NR may be larger.

Leaf111 restarts and regenerates N-TIE. The random seq NR may be small, so that when Spine111 receives it, it will compare the seq NR and discard the new message.

According to the behavior of Appendix c.3.4 b.3, it is hoped that Spine111 sends DBTIE to Leaf111 to update seq NR.

However, according to the flooding range of N-TIE, this message cannot be sent out.

In this way, there will be a large number of invalid N-TIEs in the network for a long time (the default expire time of the protocol is 1 week)

Is this understanding correct? How does rift solve this problem?




Thank you!

Benchong
