The IESG has received a request from the Interface to the Routing System WG (i2rs) to consider the following document: - 'I2RS Ephemeral State Requirements' <draft-ietf-i2rs-ephemeral-state-19.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 2016-10-19. 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 The I2RS (interface to the routing system) Architecture document (RFC7921) abstractly describes a number of requirements for ephemeral state (in terms of capabilities and behaviors) which any protocol suite attempting to meet the needs of I2RS has to provide. This document describes, in detail, requirements for ephemeral state for those implementing the I2RS protocol. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-i2rs-ephemeral-state/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-i2rs-ephemeral-state/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
