Hi,

section 2 "Proposed solution" of rfc5443 has text that reads:

"...if a link is configured with 2^24-1 (the maximum link metric per [RFC5305]), then this link is not advertised in the topology..."

I believe this statement is not accurate because rfc5305 in fact foresees situation that a link can be advertised with max metric. Alternatively, if the above mentioned statement was intended to be part of the proposed solution then it contradicts with very next sentence in the same rfc5443, in which case it's still erroneous.

Kind regards, 
iLya
