The IESG has received a request from the Open Shortest Path First IGP WG (ospf) to consider the following document: - 'OSPF Multi-Instance Extensions' <draft-ietf-ospf-multi-instance-06.txt> as a 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 2011-12-12. 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 OSPFv3 includes a mechanism for supporting multiple instances on the same interface. OSPFv2 could benefit from such a mechanism in order to support multiple routing domains on the same subnet. The OSPFv2 instance ID is reserved for support of separate OSPFv2 protocol instances. This is different from OSPFv3 where it could be used for other purposes such as putting the same interface in multiple areas. OSPFv2 supports this capability using a separate subnet or the OSPF multi-area adjacency capability. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ospf-multi-instance/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ospf-multi-instance/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
