The IESG has approved the following document: - 'An Architecture for IP/LDP Fast-Reroute Using Maximally Redundant Trees' (draft-ietf-rtgwg-mrt-frr-architecture-10.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Routing Area Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Alia Atlas and Deborah Brungard. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-rtgwg-mrt-frr-architecture/ Technical Summary This document defines the architecture for IP/LDP Fast-Reroute using Maximally Redundant Trees (MRT-FRR). MRT-FRR is a technology that gives link-protection and node-protection with 100% coverage in any network topology that is still connected after the failure. Working Group Summary The WG thoroughly reviewed the document and no outstanding technical issues remain. Both WG Chairs and the AD assigned to this WG are involved in the work, so the Responsible AD (listed below), aided by the Document Shepherd, conducted the WGLC. During this process there were some comments about publishing this document as Informational/Experimental, but there is rough consensus to proceed on the Standards Track. Document Quality There are existing implementations and multiple vendors have shown significant interest in the topic. Personnel Document Shepherd: János Farkas Responsible Area Director: Alvaro Retana RFC Editor Note This document and draft-ietf-rtgwg-mrt-frr-algorithm should be published together (consecutive RFC numbers would be nice, but not necessary).
