The IESG has received a request from the Layer 3 Virtual Private Networks WG (l3vpn) to consider the following document: - 'Encoding mLDP FECs in the NLRI of BGP MCAST-VPN Routes' <draft-ietf-l3vpn-mvpn-mldp-nlri-06.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2014-10-27. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Many service providers offer "BGP/MPLS IP VPN" service to their customers. Existing IETF standards specify the procedures and protocols that a service provider uses in order to offer this service to customers who have IP unicast and IP multicast traffic in their VPNs. It is also desirable to be able to support customers who have MPLS multicast traffic in their VPNs. This document specifies the procedures and protocol extensions that are needed to support customers who use the Multicast Extensions to Label Distribution Protocol (mLDP) as the control protocol for their MPLS multicast traffic. Existing standards do provide some support for customers who use mLDP, but only under a restrictive set of circumstances. This document generalizes the existing support to include all cases where the customer uses mLDP, without any restrictions. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-l3vpn-mvpn-mldp-nlri/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-l3vpn-mvpn-mldp-nlri/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
