The IESG has received a request from the Protocols for IP Multicast WG (pim) to consider the following document: - 'PIM Designated Router Load Balancing' <draft-ietf-pim-drlb-13.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 [email protected] mailing lists by 2019-11-07. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract On a multi-access network, one of the PIM-SM routers is elected as a Designated Router. One of the responsibilities of the Designated Router is to track local multicast listeners and forward data to these listeners if the group is operating in PIM-SM. This document specifies a modification to the PIM-SM protocol that allows more than one of the PIM-SM routers to take on this responsibility so that the forwarding load can be distributed among multiple routers. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pim-drlb/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pim-drlb/ballot/ The following IPR Declarations may be related to this I-D: https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/1713/ _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
