The IESG has received a request from the BGP Enabled Services WG (bess) to consider the following document: - 'Simulating "Partial Mesh of MP2MP P-Tunnels" with Ingress Replication' <draft-ietf-bess-mvpn-bidir-ingress-replication-02.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 2015-10-08. 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 6513 described a method to support bidirectional C-flow using "Partial Mesh of MP2MP P-Tunnels". This document specifiess how partial mesh of MP2MP P-Tunnels can be simulated with Ingress Replication, instead of a real MP2MP tunnel. This enables a Service Provider to use Ingress Replication to offer transparent Bidir-PIM service to its VPN customers. These specifications update RFC 6514. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bess-mvpn-bidir-ingress-replication/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bess-mvpn-bidir-ingress-replication/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
