The IESG has received a request from the Routing Area Working Group WG (rtgwg) to consider the following document: - 'Operational management of Loop Free Alternates' <draft-ietf-rtgwg-lfa-manageability-08.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 2015-06-18. 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 Loop Free Alternates (LFA), as defined in RFC 5286 is an IP Fast ReRoute (IP FRR) mechanism enabling traffic protection for IP traffic (and MPLS LDP traffic by extension). Following first deployment experiences, this document provides operational feedback on LFA, highlights some limitations, and proposes a set of refinements to address those limitations. It also proposes required management specifications. This proposal is also applicable to remote LFA solution. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-rtgwg-lfa-manageability/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-rtgwg-lfa-manageability/ballot/ The following IPR Declarations may be related to this I-D: https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/2490/ https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/2196/
