Speaking as PWE3 co-chair, I would be happier if this draft required that routers that implement this solution also implement RFC 4447, that RFC 4447 be configured as the default mechanism for pseudowire signaling, and that RFC 4447 was moved from an informational to a normative reference. In practice, I know that routers that implement this also do implement RFC 4447, but I would like to see it in the RFC as well.
Thanks,
Andy
Subject: Last Call: (Layer 2 Virtual Private Networks Using BGP for Auto-discovery and Signaling) to Informational RFC Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2011 10:50:05 -0700 From: The IESG <iesg-secretary@xxxxxxxx> Reply-To: ietf@xxxxxxxx To: IETF-Announce <ietf-announce@xxxxxxxx>
The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider the following document: - 'Layer 2 Virtual Private Networks Using BGP for Auto-discovery and Signaling' <draft-kompella-l2vpn-l2vpn-07.txt> as an Informational RFC 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@xxxxxxxx mailing lists by 2011-09-27. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@xxxxxxxx instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Layer 2 Virtual Private Networks (L2VPNs) based on Frame Relay or ATM circuits have been around a long time; more recently, Ethernet VPNs, including Virtual Private LAN Service, have become popular. Traditional L2VPNs often required a separate Service Provider infrastructure for each type, and yet another for the Internet and IP VPNs. In addition, L2VPN provisioning was cumbersome. This document presents a new approach to the problem of offering L2VPN services where the L2VPN customer's experience is virtually identical to that offered by traditional Layer 2 VPNs, but such that a Service Provider can maintain a single network for L2VPNs, IP VPNs and the Internet, as well as a common provisioning methodology for all services.
