The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Operational Aspects of Proxy-ARP/ND in Ethernet Virtual Private Networks' (draft-ietf-bess-evpn-proxy-arp-nd-16.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the BGP Enabled ServiceS Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, John Scudder and Martin Vigoureux. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bess-evpn-proxy-arp-nd/ Technical Summary This document describes the EVPN Proxy-ARP/ND function, augmented by the capability of the ARP/ND Extended Community. Together, these help operators of Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), Data Centers (DCs), and other networks deal with IPv4 and IPv6 address resolution issues associated with large Broadcast Domains (DBs) by reducing and even suppressing the flooding produced by address resolution in the EVPN network. Working Group Summary The document was developed to address the desire to minimise flooding of traffic associated with address resolution in EVPN. It is particularly important due to the large size that EVPN networks can grow to, particularly in terms of the numbers of CEs and hosts. It makes recommendations for implementations of Proxy-ARP/ND to help operators deal with the issues derived from Address Resolution in large broadcast domains. There are no IPR declarations on the draft . Document Quality There is no concern about the quality of the document. It represents WG consensus, and it has been widely reviewed and discussed on the list over a number of years. The document was also reviewed by the various directorates and comments addressed The document does not specify any MIB changes or additions which would need review. Personnel The document shepherd is Matthew Bocci (matthew.bo...@nokia.com). The responsible Area Director is Martin Vigoureux (martin.vigour...@nokia.com). _______________________________________________ BESS mailing list BESS@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/bess
