The IESG has received a request from the Routing Area Working Group WG (rtgwg) to consider the following document: - 'LFA selection for Multi-Homed Prefixes' <draft-ietf-rtgwg-multihomed-prefix-lfa-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 2018-10-09. 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 shares experience gained from implementing algorithms to determine Loop-Free Alternates for multi-homed prefixes. In particular, this document provides explicit inequalities that can be used to evaluate neighbors as a potential alternates for multi-homed prefixes. It also provides detailed criteria for evaluating potential alternates for external prefixes advertised by OSPF ASBRs. This documents updates and expands some of the "Routing Aspects" as specified in Section 6 of RFC 5286. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-rtgwg-multihomed-prefix-lfa/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-rtgwg-multihomed-prefix-lfa/ballot/ The following IPR Declarations may be related to this I-D: https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/2747/ https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/2477/ The document contains these normative downward references.
