The IESG has received a request from the Traffic Engineering Architecture and Signaling WG (teas) to consider the following document: - 'Resource ReserVation Protocol-Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) Path Diversity using Exclude Route' <draft-ietf-teas-lsp-diversity-08.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 2017-08-24. 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 Resource ReserVation Protocol-Traffic Engineering provides support for the communication of exclusion information during label switched path (LSP) setup. This document specifies two new diversity subobjects for the RSVP XRO and EXRS subobjects. Three different mechanisms are supported how LSP diversity can be accomplished in the provider or core network: the signaled diversity type, indicates whether diversity is based on client, path computation engine (PCE), or network assigned identifiers. The solution described in this document is based on the assumption that LSPs are requested sequentially, i.e., the time period between the LSP setup requests for the two LSPs may be longer (days, weeks, months). Re-routing the first LSP that may have existed for a longer period of time is not considered.
