The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Entropy label for SPRING tunnels' (draft-ietf-mpls-spring-entropy-label-12.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Martin Vigoureux and Deborah Brungard. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-spring-entropy-label/ Technical Summary This document describes how entropy labels (EL) may be used with Segment Routing running over an MPLS data plane. Entropy labels (EL) is a technique used in MPLS to improve load-balancing. Segment Routing (SR) is a technique that uses a source routing paradigm. A node (LSR) steers a packets through an ordered list of instructions, called segments. Working Group Summary There have been no controversies over this document. Document Quality We currently have no hard information on existing implementations. An implementation poll has been sent to the working group mailing list, this write-up will be updated as soon as the implementation poll yields information. A significant number of vendors and service providers has expressed interest in this specification. Personnel Who is the Document Shepherd for this document?
