The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Loss and Delay Measurement in Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL)' (draft-ietf-trill-loss-delay-08.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Ted Lemon and Brian Haberman. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-trill-loss-delay/ Technical Summary Performance Monitoring (PM) is a key aspect of Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM). It allows network operators to verify the Service Level Agreement (SLA) provided to customers, and to detect network anomalies. This document specifies mechanisms for Loss Measurement and Delay Measurement in TRILL networks. Working Group Summary Discussion on this topic has gone on for the last 2 years. During the WG LC and discussion at the March IETF 89, the general consensus was "document is ready for RFC". Document Quality The written text of this document is high. The performance monitoring issues clearly specified with clear descriptions of the mechanisms. This document is a pleasure to read! The document has been co-authors by two groups implementing the code for deployment (Cisco and Huawei). The careful attention to operational issues have shows in this draft. No specific announcement of the release date for these TRILL PM implementations has been made. An implementation survey planned for June so a better understanding of the deployments may align with the IESG review. Other vendors have indicated consideration of the PM specification.
