In this ospfv3-traffic document, a new LSA, Intra-Area-TE LSA, is defined to advertise IPv6 TE information. From name of this new LSA, IMHO, it is limited to be used for Intra-Area TE only. So, if there are some underlying extensions to ospfv3-traffic, e.g. Inter-AS TE, it is a little bit strange to re-use the Intra-Area-TE LSA, or it has to define a new LSA. So, can we change its name to something like “OSPFv3 TE LSA”?
It would be if we had intended it to carry AS wide information. However, it was not initially intended for this. The initial thought was that we would do a better job for OSPFv3 and define separate LSA types for intra-area, inter-area, and AS external TE LSAs. Thoughts on this (copied ccamp as well)? I guess, IMHO, this discrepancy exposes the choice of a new link type for inter-AS connectivity as a bit of a hack.
2. Section 2. “The format of the TLVs within the body of a router information LSA is the same as the format used by the Traffic Engineering Extensions to OSPF [TE].” What’s “a router information LSA”? Or should it be “an Intra-Area-TE LSA” ?
Yes. Good catch. I'll fix this.
Thanks, Acee
