The IESG has received a request from the IS-IS for IP Internets WG (isis) to consider the following document: - 'IS-IS Route Preference for Extended IP and IPv6 Reachability' <draft-ietf-isis-route-preference-01.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 2015-10-30. 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 Existing specifications as regards route preference are not explicit when applied to IPv4/IPv6 Extended Reachability Type/Length/Value (TLVs). There are also inconsistencies in the definition of how the up/down bit applies to route preference when the prefix advertisement appears in Level 2 Link State Protocol Data Units (LSPs). This document addresses these issues. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-isis-route-preference/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-isis-route-preference/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
