The IESG has received a request from the BGP Enabled Services WG (bess) to consider the following document: - 'Multicast VPN state damping' <draft-ietf-bess-multicast-damping-04.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2016-04-13. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document describes procedures to damp multicast VPN routing state changes and control the effect of the churn due to the multicast dynamicity in customer sites. The procedures described in this document are applicable to BGP-based multicast VPN and help avoid uncontrolled control plane load increase in the core routing infrastructure. New procedures are proposed inspired from BGP unicast route damping principles, but adapted to multicast. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bess-multicast-damping/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bess-multicast-damping/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
