The IESG has approved the following document: - 'IS-IS Routing with Reverse Metric' (draft-ietf-isis-reverse-metric-17.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Link State Routing Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Martin Vigoureux and Deborah Brungard. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-isis-reverse-metric/ Technical Summary 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. Working Group Summary Normal WG process. Document Quality There is vendor and operator interest in this technology. The document had a good amount of review by the WG, changes were requested and incorporated by the authors.
