The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'Traffic Engineering Extensions to OSPF Version 2' <draft-katz-yeung-ospf-traffic-10.txt> as a Proposed Standard. This document is the product of the Open Shortest Path First IGP Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Bill Fenner and Alex Zinin. Technical Summary The Traffic Engineering Extensions to OSPF Version 2 define a method for describing the traffic engineering topology (including bandwidth and administrative constraints) and distributing this information within a given OSPF area. The traffic engineering topology need not be congruent with the regular routed topology. Working Group Summary There was strong support in the working group for this extension. The working group made several clarifications to the document during Working Group Last Call. Other minor changes, especially to clarify that this extension is only suitable for intra-area Traffic Engineering, were agreed to during IETF Last Call. Protocol Quality Bill Fenner and Alex Zinin reviewed the spec for the IESG. These extensions are widely implemented and deployed.
