The IESG has received a request from the Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links WG (trill) to consider the following document: - 'Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL): MTU Negotiation' <draft-ietf-trill-mtu-negotiation-05.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 2017-06-28. 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 base IETF TRILL protocol has a TRILL campus-wide MTU feature, specified in RFC 6325 and RFC 7177, that assures that link state changes can be successfully flooded throughout the campus while being able to take advantage of a campus-wide capability to support jumbo packets. This document specifies recommended updates to that MTU feature to take advantage, for appropriate link-local packets, of link-local MTUs that exceed the TRILL campus MTU. In addition, it specifies an efficient algorithm for local MTU testing. This document updates RFC 6325, updates RFC 7177, and updates RFC 7780. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-trill-mtu-negotiation/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-trill-mtu-negotiation/ballot/ The following IPR Declarations may be related to this I-D: https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/1799/
