Anoop,

This approach is optional.
The intent here is to remove “a” handshake mechanism which is too complex and 
not always working.
Other people may come with different solution in the future if needed be.

Subject: Re: [bess] WG POLL: Moving forward 
draft-ietf-bess-evpn-fast-df-recovery by dropping "Handshake" option

My only concern with the time sync approach is that it imposes the requirement 
for some kind of time sync protocol (either ntp or ptp).  From what I 
understand, running these in the data center is not that common.

Hi WG,

Just as a reminder, draft-ietf-bess-evpn-fast-df-recovery currently proposes 
two options: 1) use time synchronization, 2) Use handshake.

We have issues moving forward the draft because of some controversy on the 
handshake option while the time sync option seems to have implementations.

It seems that the authors/co-authors agreed to progress the document by 
removing the handshake option, leaving the “time sync” as the core of the 
document.

As the document is a WG document, we (chairs) need to confirm that there is no 
objection from the WG progressing the document in such a way.

Please provide your feedback.

We are opening a poll starting today and ending on **** 18th June **** to 
gather feedbacks.

Thanks,

Stephane
