The IESG has received a request from the Open Shortest Path First IGP WG (ospf) to consider the following document: - 'OSPF Two-part Metric' <draft-ietf-ospf-two-part-metric-05.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2016-08-15. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document specifies an optional extension to the OSPF protocol, to represent the metric on a multi-access network as two parts: the metric from a router to the network, and the metric from the network to the router. The router to router metric would be the sum of the two. This document updates RFC 2328 and RFC 5340. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ospf-two-part-metric/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ospf-two-part-metric/ballot/ The following IPR Declarations may be related to this I-D: https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/2287/ The document contains these normative downward references.
