The IESG has approved the following document: - '(PBB-)EVPN Seamless Integration with (PBB-)VPLS' (draft-ietf-bess-evpn-vpls-seamless-integ-06.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the BGP Enabled ServiceS Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Deborah Brungard and Martin Vigoureux. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bess-evpn-vpls-seamless-integ/ Technical Summary This draft specifies procedures for backward compatibility of the (PBB-)EVPN solution with (PBB-)VPLS and provides mechanisms for seamless integration of the two technologies in the same MPLS/IP network on a per-VPN-instance basis. Implementation of this draft enables service providers to introduce (PBB-)EVPN PEs in their brown- field deployments of (PBB-)VPLS networks. Working Group Summary The document was developed to provide mechanisms to enable EVPN and traditional VPLS to work together in the same network in as seamless a way as practicable. This is important for service providers migrating from old VPLS deployments to new technologies such as EVPN. There is one IPR declaration on the draft . Document Quality No concerns about the quality of the document. It represents WG consensus, and it has been widely reviewed and discussed over a number of years. The document does not specify any MIB changes or additions which would need review. Personnel The document shepherd is Matthew Bocci The responsible Area Director is Martin Vigoureux
