Sounds like a good idea, I agree with this.

Best regards,

I agree with Hannes on this.

However, if the document was to highlight strongly that the data is "a 
non-routing related capability" (if that's what we believe!) and stress that 
the information "that does not change frequently" (perhaps with some 
explanation of
"frequently") I believe that might help everyone.

Adrian

we have taken turns long-time ago to advertise non-routing related 
information which is only relevant to controllers (l2bundles comes 
into mind ;-)).

while it would have been nice to get at least notice that an IS-IS 
extension is being worked on (i mean prior to IANA asking for expert 
review :-/ ) i see no reason why we should hold this back. - we can 
argue perhaps whether it should be part of GENAPP or ROUTERCAP TLVs, 
but i cannot see the sky falling to advertise a non-routing related 
capability, that does not change frequently.

I agree but was just trying to get a better idea of precisely how the 
information will be used and whether interface is the right granularity.
