Two-octet bandwidth values

[Kireeti Kompella <kireeti@juniper.net>]

Let's get the ball rolling.  Please send questions and comments to the
list.  Here are mine:

Questions to vendors:
1) Is floating point arithmetic a burdensome requirement?  Is having
   a new library of functions for the two-octet "floating point"
   representation a burdensome requirement?
2) Is halving the size of the bandwidth TLVs a big win (keep in mind
   that more bandwidth TLVs are being proposed)?
   (a) for ISIS?
   (b) for OSPF?
   (c) if the answers for ISIS and OSPF differ, is it acceptable to
       have different formats for the two protocols?

Questions to vendors & carriers:
1) Is 10 bits of dynamic range (0.1% accuracy) good enough?
2) Are you in favor of this draft, or against?
