The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Encoding mLDP FECs in the NLRI of BGP MCAST-VPN Routes' (draft-ietf-l3vpn-mvpn-mldp-nlri-10.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the BGP Enabled Services Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Adrian Farrel and Alia Atlas. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-l3vpn-mvpn-mldp-nlri/ Technical Summary 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. This document updates RFC 6514. Working Group Summary No controversy around this Document which provides a simple solution to address a limitation of RFC 6514. Document Quality There are no known implementation/implementation plans. The Document has been reviewed by a few experts. The Document Shepherd also reviewed several times the Document. Personnel Martin Vigoureux, L3VPN co-chair is the Document Shepherd Adrian Farrel is the Responsible (Routing) Area Director
