Fair point. Given that there is an IP address and prefix on that link, =
it would be very reasonable to advertise the Extended IP Reachability =
TLV (135). We would then need to make the link attributes sub-TLV =
applicable to this TLV (and it=E2=80=99s MT brother).


> TLV 141 =E2=80=9CInter-AS reachability information=E2=80=9D seems be =
one appropriate TLV to include this sub-TLV, but it requires the IS-IS =
TE deployment, and is not suitable for describing the passive/stub link =
on edge router.
> =20

Attribute Flags=E2=80=9D sub-TLV which can be included in TLV =
135,235,236 and 237 (Extended IP reachability, MT IP. Reach, IPv6 IP. =
Reach, and MT IPv6 IP. Reach TLVs) is more applicable?


It would seem to me that what you=E2=80=99re describing is an attribute =
of a link, not of a prefix, thus I would favor it remaining a link =
attribute.

But that=E2=80=99s just me.  :-)
