The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Inter-Chassis Communication Protocol for L2VPN PE Redundancy' (draft-ietf-pwe3-iccp-16.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Pseudowire Emulation Edge to Edge Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alia Atlas and Adrian Farrel. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pwe3-iccp/ Technical Summary This document specifies an inter-chassis communication protocol (ICCP) that enables Provider Edge (PE) device redundancy for Virtual Private Wire Service (VPWS) and Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) applications. The protocol runs within a set of two or more PEs, forming a redundancy group, for the purpose of synchronizing data amongst the systems. It accommodates multi-chassis attachment circuit as well as pseudowire redundancy mechanisms. Working Group Summary There was good consensus on the document, with one exception that is discussed in the section on IPR. That one exception was the only thing really worth noting in the process.. Document Quality There is at least one shipping implementation "deployed in multiple customer networks". Personnel Andy Malis is the Document Shepherd. Alia Atlas is the Responsible Area Director.
