A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 7899 Title: Multicast VPN State Damping Author: T. Morin, Ed., S. Litkowski, K. Patel, Z. Zhang, R. Kebler, J. Haas Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: June 2016 Mailbox: thomas.morin@orange.com, stephane.litkowski@orange.com, keyupate@cisco.com, zzhang@juniper.net, rkebler@juniper.net, jhaas@juniper.net Pages: 18 Characters: 41294 Updates: RFC 6514 I-D Tag: draft-ietf-bess-multicast-damping-06.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc7899 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17487/RFC7899 This document describes procedures to damp Multicast VPN (MVPN) 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. The new procedures proposed were inspired by BGP unicast route damping principles that have been adapted to multicast. This document is a product of the BGP Enabled Services Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
