The IESG has approved the following document: - 'L2VPN OAM Requirements and Framework' (draft-ietf-l2vpn-oam-req-frmk-11.txt) as an Informational RFC This document is the product of the Layer 2 Virtual Private Networks Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Stewart Bryant and Adrian Farrel. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-l2vpn-oam-req-frmk/ Technical Summary This draft provides framework and requirements for Layer 2 Virtual Private Networks (L2VPN) Operation, Administration and Maintenance (OAM). The OAM framework is intended to provide OAM layering across L2VPN services, Pseudo Wires (PWs) and Packet Switched Network (PSN) tunnels. The requirements are intended to identify OAM requirement for L2VPN services (i.e. VPLS, VPWS, and IPLS). Furthermore, if L2VPN services OAM requirements impose specific requirements on PW OAM and/or PSN OAM, those specific PW and/or PSN OAM requirements are also identified. Working Group Summary This document has been reviewed by carriers and experts in the L2VPN WG and there are no outstanding issues. Document Quality This document was reviewed by Mark Townsley and the L2VPN Chairs. The document Shepherd is Shane Amante. Note to RFC Editor In Section 11. Security Considerations OLD This document takes into account the security considerations and imposes requirements on solutions to prevent OAM messages from leaking outside an OAM domain and for OAM domains to be transparent to OAM frames from higher OAM domains, as specified in Section 6.10 and 7.10. NEW This specification assumes that L2VPN components within the OAM domain are mutually trusted. Based on that assumption, confidentiality issues are fully addressed by filtering to prevent OAM frames from leaking outside their OAM domain. Similarly, authentication issues are addressed by preventing OAM frames generated outside from entering the OAM domain. Requirements to prevent OAM messages from leaking outside an OAM domain and for OAM domains to be transparent to OAM frames from higher OAM domains are specified in Section 6.10 and 7.10.
