The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Registry and Extensions for P-Multicast Service Interface Tunnel Attribute Flags' (draft-ietf-bess-pta-flags-03.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the BGP Enabled ServiceS 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-bess-pta-flags/ Technical Summary The BGP-based control procedures for Multicast Virtual Private Networks make use of a BGP attribute known as the "P-Multicast Service Interface (PMSI) Tunnel" attribute. The attribute contains a one-octet "Flags" field. The purpose of this document is to establish an IANA registry for the assignment of the bits in this field. Since the Flags field contains only eight bits, this document also defines a new BGP Extended Community, "Additional PMSI Tunnel Attribute Flags", that can be used to carry additional flags for the PMSI Tunnel attribute. This document updates RFC 6514. Working Group Summary This document fills a hole in previous specification (the lack of creation of a registry). Document Quality Well written and to the point. Personnel Martin Vigoureux is the Document Shepherd Alvaro Retana is the responsible Area Director
