The IESG has received a request from the BGP Enabled ServiceS WG (bess) to
consider the following document: - 'E-TREE Support in EVPN & PBB-EVPN'
<draft-ietf-bess-evpn-etree-12.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 2017-08-09. 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 Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) has defined a rooted-multipoint
Ethernet service known as Ethernet Tree (E-Tree). A solution
framework for supporting this service in MPLS networks is proposed in
RFC7387 ("A Framework for Ethernet Tree (E-Tree) Service over a
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Network"). This document
discusses how those functional requirements can be easily met with
Ethernet VPN (EVPN) and how EVPN offers a more efficient
implementation of these functions. This document makes use of the
most significant bit of the scope governed by the IANA registry
created by RFC7385, and hence updates RFC7385 accordingly.
