Technical Summary
This document specifies extensions to OSPF Router Informational
(RI) to advertise multiple 32-bit admin tags. These tags can be
then used for policy decisions in OSPF routers in the OSPF routing
domain. While the tag applications are enumerated, they are not
formally specified.
Working Group Summary
Initially, there was a concern with the number of tags being
unbounded and the size of the OSPF RI LSA being finite. However,
RFC 4970 has updated (publication requested) to allow an OSPF
Router to advertise multiple instances of the OSPF RI LSA.
During WG last call, it was noted that the behavior must be
specified when there are multiple instances of the Admin Tag
TLV.
Document Quality
This document has been a WG document for about a year and has been
stable other than addressing minor comments.
