The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Routing extensions for discovery of Multiprotocol (MPLS) Label Switch Router (LSR) Traffic Engineering (TE) mesh membership ' <draft-ietf-ccamp-automesh-04.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Common Control and Measurement Plane Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Ross Callon and Bill Fenner. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ccamp-automesh-04.txt Technical Summary The set up of a full mesh of Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Traffic Engineering (TE) Label Switched Paths (LSP) among a set of Label Switch Routers (LSR) is a common deployment scenario of MPLS Traffic Engineering either for bandwidth optimization, bandwidth guarantees or fast rerouting with MPLS Fast Reroute. Such deployment may require the configuration of potentially a large number of TE LSPs (on the order of the square of the number LSRs). This document specifies Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) routing extensions for Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) so as to provide an automatic discovery of the set of LSRs members of a mesh in order to automate the creation of such mesh of TE LSPs. Working Group Summary No dissent reported. There has been some discussion of the wisdom of putting this information in an IGP (rather than BGP or somewhere else) within the routing directorate and a few other relevant folks (eg, chairs of IS-IS and/or OSPF WGs). The consensus is clearly to go ahead with this draft as specified. Based on this discussion, appropriate text was added to the document that discusses this issue briefly. The document was last called in the IS-IS and OSPF working groups in addition to the CCAMP WG. Protocol Quality Ross Callon has reviewed this for the IESG. According to the PROTO writeup there are implementations and at least some deployment. IANA Note The -03 and -04 versions of the draft contains an updated IANA considerations section which is intended to respond to the IANA questions entered into the tracker on Sept 27, 2006. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
