This document is requested for publication as a Proposed Standard document.

This is appropriate because the document defines a new type of the
 Generalized Switching Capability-specific information (SCSI) TLV to
 extend the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing protocol.

This track is noted in the document header.

> Technical Summary:

A network may contain links with variable discrete bandwidth, e.g., copper,
radio, etc. The bandwidth of such links may change
 discretely in reaction to changing external environment. Availability is
 typically used for describing such links during network planning. This
 document defines a new type of the Generalized Switching Capability-specific
 information (SCSI) TLV to extend the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing
 protocol. The extension can be used for route computation in a network
that contains links with variable discrete bandwidth.

> Working Group Summary:

This document has been reviewed by both CCAMP and TEAS WGs and received some
comments at IETF meetings and on the mailing list.Particularly, it was
discussed how to organize the documents to make it generic to apply to multiple
technologies,which leads to [draft-ietf-teas-gmpls-scsi].

This doucument was gone through by a joint WG last call between CCAMP and TEAS
WGs.

There were no problems with consensus for this document.

> Document Quality:

The document is concise and only defines Availability sub-TLV as a sub-TLV of
ISCD as defined in RFC4203.

> Personnel:

Fatai Zhang is the Document Shepherd
Deborah Brungard is the Responsible Area Director

No such content.

No such concerns.

The WG chairs chased all authors and contributors for statements that
they had complied with IETF IPR policy. All responded. The replies have been
tracked in the datatracker and can be found in the history of the document:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ccamp-ospf-availability-extension/history/

No disclosures have been made.

There has been substantial and broad review. There is good consensus
on the document.

No threats or discontent.

No such reviews needed.

> (13) Have all references within this document been identified as

All references correctly identified.

None such.

None.

No.

> (17) Describe the Document Shepherd's review of the IANA
>      considerations section, especially with regard to its
>      consistency with the body of the document. Confirm that all
>      protocol extensions that the document makes are associated

The IANA section was fully reviewed by the document shepherd.  One new
allocation is requested in this document that is properly identified.

> (18) List any new IANA registries that require Expert Review for
>      future allocations. Provide any public guidance that the IESG

One new registry is requested and it requires Standards Action as
defined in [RFC5226].

> (19) Describe reviews and automated checks performed by the Document
>      Shepherd to validate sections of the document written in a
>      formal language, such as XML code, BNF rules, MIB definitions,

No such sections.
