The IESG has received a request from the BGP Enabled Services WG (bess) to consider the following document: - 'Shortest Path Bridging, MAC Mode Support over EVPN' <draft-ietf-bess-spbm-evpn-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 2015-09-24. 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 This document describes how Ethernet Shortest Path Bridging MAC mode (802.1aq) can be combined with EVPN to interwork with PBB-PEs as described in the PBB-EVPN solution. This is achieved via operational isolation of each Ethernet network subtending an EVPN core while supporting full interworking between the different variations of Ethernet networks.
