A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 5003 Title: Attachment Individual Identifier (AII) Types for Aggregation Author: C. Metz, L. Martini, F. Balus, J. Sugimoto Status: Standards Track Date: September 2007 Mailbox: chmetz@cisco.com, lmartini@cisco.com, florin.balus@alcatel-lucent.com, sugimoto@nortel.com Pages: 7 Characters: 14559 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-pwe3-aii-aggregate-02.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5003.txt The signaling protocols used to establish point-to-point pseudowires include type-length-value (TLV) fields that identify pseudowire endpoints called attachment individual identifiers (AIIs). This document defines AII structures in the form of new AII TLV fields that support AII aggregation for improved scalability and Virtual Private Network (VPN) auto-discovery. It is envisioned that this would be useful in large inter-domain virtual private wire service networks where pseudowires are established between selected local and remote provider edge (PE) nodes based on customer need. [STANDARDS TRACK] This document is a product of the Pseudo Wire Emulation Edge to Edge Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.Please refer to the current edition of the Internet Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol.
