Comments? LSR is actually a significant security issue. So, while I do understand and am sympathetic to the operational debugging issues that LSR addresses, I think that requiring a peer to enable LSR more than 2 hops inside their network from the outside world is unreasonable. In a world where SSH were available in cisco routers and/or IPsec were more widely deployed, I might have different views. However, we are where we are. Regards, Ran rja@home.net
