The IESG has received a request from the Routing Area Working Group WG (rtgwg) to consider the following document: - 'SPF Back-off algorithm for link state IGPs' <draft-ietf-rtgwg-backoff-algo-07.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 2018-02-14. 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 defines a standard algorithm to back-off link-state IGP Shortest Path First (SPF) computations. Having one standard algorithm improves interoperability by reducing the probability and/or duration of transient forwarding loops during the IGP convergence when the IGP reacts to multiple temporally close IGP events. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-rtgwg-backoff-algo/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-rtgwg-backoff-algo/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
