Hi Acee, Ketan and Aijun, 

I also agree that the introduction of source router ID could be a generic useful \
extension to OSPF, we already have this in IS-IS [RFC 7794]. 

As for the inter-area topology retrieval use case, I tend to agree that there can be \
multiple ways to achieve this, thus it would make sense to decouple this specific use \
case with the generic extension. 

Best regards,
Jie
