The IESG has received a request from the Routing Area Working Group WG (rtgwg) to consider the following document: - 'An Algorithm for Computing Maximally Redundant Trees for IP/LDP Fast- Reroute' <draft-ietf-rtgwg-mrt-frr-algorithm-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 2016-01-29. 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 A solution for IP and LDP Fast-Reroute using Maximally Redundant Trees is presented in draft-ietf-rtgwg-mrt-frr-architecture. This document defines the associated MRT Lowpoint algorithm that is used in the Default MRT profile to compute both the necessary Maximally Redundant Trees with their associated next-hops and the alternates to select for MRT-FRR. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-rtgwg-mrt-frr-algorithm/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-rtgwg-mrt-frr-algorithm/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
