4. Security Considerations 4. Operational Considerations
While no restrictions are placed on Key-Value data or what it is used
for, it is RECOMMENDED that a serialized Thrift model be used for
simpler interoperability. RIFT Auto-EVPN [RIFT-AUTO-EVPN] is an
example of this type of implementation.
Key-Value elements SHOULD NOT be used to carry topology information
used by RIFT itself to perform distributed computations.
In cases where Key-Value TIEs are flooded from north to south,
policies SHOULD be implemented in order to avoid network-wide
flooding.
For networks with more than one ToF node, it is RECOMMENDED that
those ToF nodes contain identical Key-Value TIE information when
being distributed from north to south as the Key-Value tie breaking
rules in RIFT [RIFT] ultimately mention that only one Key-Value TIE
can be selected from multiple northbound neighbors. If this is not
considered, nodes receiving varying Key-Value TIEs might select a
suboptimal Key-Value TIE.
