The IESG has approved the following document: - 'The Babel Routing Protocol' (draft-ietf-babel-rfc6126bis-20.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Babel routing protocol Working Group. This IETF Stream document obsoletes an Independent Stream document. That step has been agreed by the Independent Stream Editor. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Deborah Brungard and Martin Vigoureux. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-babel-rfc6126bis/ Technical Summary Babel is a loop-avoiding distance-vector routing protocol that is designed to be robust and efficient both in networks using prefix- based routing and in networks using flat routing ("mesh networks"), and both in relatively stable wired networks and in highly dynamic wireless networks. This document describes the Babel routing protocol, and obsoletes RFCs 6126 and 7557 Working Group Summary Nothing of note -- all WG discussions over the changes between 6126 and 6126bis were resolved. Document Quality The document is of good quality. There are multiple implementations. Also, there are RFC 6126 implementations not yet updated but experience has shown these are easily updated to rfc6126bis.
