The IESG has approved the following document: - 'OSPFv3 as a PE-CE routing protocol ' <draft-ietf-l3vpn-ospfv3-pece-04.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Layer 3 Virtual Private Networks Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Ross Callon and Adrian Farrel. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-l3vpn-ospfv3-pece-04.txt Technical Summary Many Service Providers (SPs) offer Virtual Private Network (VPN) services to their customers using a technique in which Customer Edge (CE) routers are routing peers of Provider Edge (PE) routers. The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is used to distribute the customer's routes across the provider's IP backbone network, and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is used to tunnel customer packets across the provider's backbone. This is known as a "BGP/MPLS IP VPN". Originally only IPv4 was supported and it was later extended to support IPv6 VPNs as well. Extensions were later added for the support of the Open Shortest Path First protocol version 2 (OSPFv2) as a PE-CE routing protocol for the IPv4 VPNs. This document extends those specifications to support OSPF version 3 (OSPFv3) as a PE-CE routing protocol. The OSPFv3 PE-CE functionality is very similar to the previously-specified approached for OSPFv2. Working Group Summary No controversy reported (see PROTO writeup by Danny McPherson in the ID Tracker). There were no objections during the WG Last Call on the document, and the utility of this specification is straight-forward, as well as both obvious and intuitive. Document Quality No known implementations. Personnel Danny McPherson is the Document Shepherd for this document. Ross Callon is the Responsible Area Director. RFC Editor Note All references to [BGP-EXTCOMM-IPV6] should be replaced by a references to [RFC5701]. In the informative references section (11.2), please remove the reference to [BGP-EXTCOMM-IPV6]. Please add a reference to RFC5701 in the normative references section (11.1). _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
