The IESG has approved the following document: - 'E-TREE Support in EVPN & PBB-EVPN' (draft-ietf-bess-evpn-etree-14.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the BGP Enabled ServiceS Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Alia Atlas and Deborah Brungard. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bess-evpn-etree/ Technical Summary 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. Working Group Summary Nothing substantial. A first call for adoption did not lead to adoption, for lack of an observable support base, but the document was later adopted on a second pass. Document Quality The document is of satisfying technical and editorial quality. Three vendors are known to be working on an implementation or update of pre-standard implementations. Personnel Thomas Morin is the Document Shepherd. Alvaro Retana is the Responsible Area Director.
