The IESG has received a request from the Routing Area Working Group WG (rtgwg) to consider the following document: - 'Use of BGP for routing in large-scale data centers' <draft-ietf-rtgwg-bgp-routing-large-dc-10.txt> as Informational RFC 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 2016-06-06. 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 Some network operators build and operate data centers that support over one hundred thousand servers. In this document, such data centers are referred to as "large-scale" to differentiate them from smaller infrastructures. Environments of this scale have a unique set of network requirements with an emphasis on operational simplicity and network stability. This document summarizes operational experience in designing and operating large-scale data centers using BGP as the only routing protocol. The intent is to report on a proven and stable routing design that could be leveraged by others in the industry. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-rtgwg-bgp-routing-large-dc/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-rtgwg-bgp-routing-large-dc/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
