The IESG has received a request from the Link State Routing WG (lsr) to consider the following document: - 'IS-IS Traffic Engineering (TE) Metric Extensions' <draft-ietf-lsr-isis-rfc7810bis-02.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 2018-12-12. 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 In certain networks, such as, but not limited to, financial information networks (e.g., stock market data providers), network- performance criteria (e.g., latency) are becoming as critical to data-path selection as other metrics. This document describes extensions to IS-IS Traffic Engineering Extensions (RFC 5305) such that network-performance information can be distributed and collected in a scalable fashion. The information distributed using IS-IS TE Metric Extensions can then be used to make path-selection decisions based on network performance. Note that this document only covers the mechanisms with which network-performance information is distributed. The mechanisms for measuring network performance or acting on that information, once distributed, are outside the scope of this document. This document obsoletes RFC 7810. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lsr-isis-rfc7810bis/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lsr-isis-rfc7810bis/ballot/ The following IPR Declarations may be related to this I-D: https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/3257/ https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/3259/
