The IESG has approved the following document: - 'TRILL Support of Point to Multipoint BFD' (draft-ietf-trill-p2mp-bfd-09.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links 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-trill-p2mp-bfd/ Technical Summary Point to multipoint (P2MP) BFD is designed to verify multipoint connectivity. This document specifies the support of P2MP BFD in TRILL. Similar to TRILL point-to-point BFD, BFD Control packets in TRILL P2MP BFD are transmitted using RBridge Channel message. Working Group Summary WG has discussed this technology along with other TRILL extensions for the last 3 years. Trade-offs were discussed at IETF meetings and on the mail list. Final decision on trade-off received good WG consensus. Document Quality No implementations of the protocol exist. Huawei may implement this draft in the future, but this depends on customer needs in various deployments (data centers, campus networks, and others) Personnel Document Shepherd: Sue Hares Responsible Area Director: Alia Atlas
