The authors did not verify the accuracy of the information provided by respondents. The respondents are experts with the implementations they reported on, and their responses are considered authoritative for the implementations for which their responses represent. The respondents were asked to only use the "YES" answer if the feature had at least been tested in the lab.

Introduction [I-D.ietf-lsvr-bgp-spf] describes an alternative solution which leverages BGP-LS [RFC7752] and the Shortest Path First algorithm similar to Internal Gateway Protocols (IGPs) such as OSPF [RFC2328]. The solution introduces an new BGP-LS-SPF AFI-SAFI and replaces the Phase 1 and 2 decision functions of the Decision Process specifed by [RFC4271] with the Shortest Path First (SPF) algorithm also known as the Dijkstra algorithm. This solution avails the benefits of both BGP and SPF-based IGPs that include TCP based flow-control, no periodic link-state refresh, and completely incremental NLRI advertisements. These advantages can reduce the overhead in MSDCs where there is a high degree of Equal Cost Multi- Path (ECMPs) and the topology is very stable. Additionally, using an SPF-based computation can support fast convergence and the computation of Loop- Free Alternatives (LFAs) [RFC5286] in the event of link failures. Sarkar, et al.
