The IESG has received a request from the BGP Enabled ServiceS WG (bess) to consider the following document: - 'Extensions to BGP Signaled Pseudowires to support Flow-Aware Transport Labels' <draft-ietf-bess-fat-pw-bgp-03.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 2018-02-09. 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 This draft defines protocol extensions required to synchronize flow label states among PEs when using the BGP-based signaling procedures. These protocol extensions are equally applicable to point-to-point Layer2 Virtual Private Networks (L2VPNs). This draft updates RFC 4761 by defining new flags in the Control Flags field of the Layer2 Info Extended Community. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bess-fat-pw-bgp/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bess-fat-pw-bgp/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
