The IESG has approved the following document: - 'TRILL Fault Management' (draft-ietf-trill-oam-fm-11.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-oam-fm/ Technical Summary This document specifies the TRILL OAM Fault management. Methods in this document follow the IEEE 802.1 CFM (Continuity Fault Management) framework and reuse OAM tools wherever possible. Additional messages are defined and TLVs are defined for TRILL specific applications or where a different set of information is required other than IEEE 802.1 CFM. This proposed standard does update RFC 6325. Working Group Summary The WG has worked on the TRILL OAM FM within the working group, and with the IEEE 802.1 task group. This solution provides a blended solution between TRILL and 802.1 OAM. The final review 3/7 - 3/24 garnered a editorial comments, but no significant technical comments. Document Quality The TRILL OAM FM has implementations begun in the Cisco, Huawei, and other router companies (2-3). The co-authors on this draft are in touch with the implementation teams at Cisco and Huawei, and in-touch with some members of the 802.1 Working Group within the IEEE. The document's text and logic is excellent. Even with the ~60 page length, the shepherd found very few editorial issues. Personnel WG Chairs: Jon Hudson and Donald Eastlake AD: Ted Lemon:
