The IESG has received a request from the Open Shortest Path First IGP WG (ospf) to consider the following document: - 'OSPFv3 LSA Extendibility' <draft-ietf-ospf-ospfv3-lsa-extend-19.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 2018-01-11. 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 OSPFv3 requires functional extension beyond what can readily be done with the fixed-format Link State Advertisement (LSA) as described in RFC 5340. Without LSA extension, attributes associated with OSPFv3 links and advertised IPv6 prefixes must be advertised in separate LSAs and correlated to the fixed-format LSAs. This document extends the LSA format by encoding the existing OSPFv3 LSA information in Type-Length-Value (TLV) tuples and allowing advertisement of additional information with additional TLVs. Backward compatibility mechanisms are also described. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ospf-ospfv3-lsa-extend/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ospf-ospfv3-lsa-extend/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
