The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) Application of Inter-Chassis Communication Protocol (ICCP)' (draft-ietf-pwe3-iccp-stp-05.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Pseudowire And LDP-enabled Services Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Alia Atlas and Deborah Brungard. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pwe3-iccp-stp/ Technical Summary Inter-Chassis Communication Protocol (ICCP) supports an inter-chassis redundancy mechanism which achieves high availability. In this document, the PEs in a Redundancy Group (RG) running ICCP are used to offer multi-homed connectivity to Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) networks. The ICCP TLVs for the STP application are defined, therefore PEs from the RG can make use of these TLVs to synchronize the state and configuration data of the STP network. The operation logic of the application and the usage of these ICCP TLVs are specified. Working Group Summary As a result of WG last call, a number of improvements were made to the draft from revision -01 to -02, largely based on review comments from Alexander (Sasha) Vainshtein. Because of the changes, the WG was given a chance to re-review revision -02, and no further WG comments were received. So the WG certainly has rough consensus. Document Quality There is at least one implementation in progress the last time that this was polled. See the previous comment about Sasha Vainshtein's review and subsequent changes. Personnel Andy Malis is the Document Shepherd Deborah Brungard is the Responsible Area Director
