The IESG has received a request from the Inter-Domain Routing WG (idr) to consider the following document: - 'The BGP Tunnel Encapsulation Attribute' <draft-ietf-idr-tunnel-encaps-18.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 2020-10-01. 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 RFC 5512 defines a BGP Path Attribute known as the "Tunnel Encapsulation Attribute". This attribute allows one to specify a set of tunnels. For each such tunnel, the attribute can provide the information needed to create the tunnel and the corresponding encapsulation header. The attribute can also provide information that aids in choosing whether a particular packet is to be sent through a particular tunnel. RFC 5512 states that the attribute is only carried in BGP UPDATEs that use the "Encapsulation Subsequent Address Family (Encapsulation SAFI)". This document deprecates the Encapsulation SAFI (which has never been used in production), and specifies semantics for the attribute when it is carried in UPDATEs of certain other SAFIs. This document adds support for additional Tunnel Types, and allows a remote tunnel endpoint address to be specified for each tunnel. This document also provides support for specifying fields of any inner or outer encapsulations that may be used by a particular tunnel. This document obsoletes RFC 5512. Since RFCs 5566 and 5640 rely on RFC 5512, they are likewise obsoleted. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-idr-tunnel-encaps/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. The document contains these normative downward references.
