The IESG has received a request from the Multiprotocol Label Switching WG (mpls) to consider the following document: - 'Deprecation of BGP Entropy Label Capability Attribute' <draft-ietf-mpls-deprecate-bgp-entropy-label-01.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 2014-11-03. 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 RFC 6790 defines the BGP Entropy Label Capability attribute. Regrettably, it has a bug: although RFC 6790 mandates that Entropy Label-incapable routers must remove the attribute, in practice this requirement can't be guaranteed to be fulfilled. This specification deprecates the attribute. A forthcoming document will propose a replacement. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-deprecate-bgp-entropy-label/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-deprecate-bgp-entropy-label/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
