The IESG has received a request from the Link State Routing WG (lsr) to consider the following document: - 'IS-IS Routing with Reverse Metric' <draft-ietf-isis-reverse-metric-13.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 2018-10-17. 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 describes a mechanism to allow IS-IS routing to quickly and accurately shift traffic away from either a point-to-point or multi-access LAN interface during network maintenance or other operational events. This is accomplished by signaling adjacent IS-IS neighbors with a higher reverse metric, i.e., the metric towards the signaling IS-IS router. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-isis-reverse-metric/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-isis-reverse-metric/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. The document contains these normative downward references. See RFC 3967 for additional information: rfc5443: LDP IGP Synchronization (Informational - IETF stream)
