Layer 3 Discovery and Liveness
draft-ietf-lsvr-l3dl-02
Abstract
In Massive Data Centers, BGP-SPF and similar routing protocols are
used to build topology and reachability databases. These protocols
need to discover IP Layer 3 attributes of links, such as logical link
IP encapsulation abilities, IP neighbor address discovery, and link
liveness. This Layer 3 Discovery and Liveness protocol collects
these data, which may then be disseminated using BGP-SPF and similar
protocols.
Requirements Language
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
