The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Protocol Independent Multicast Light (PIM Light)' (draft-ietf-pim-light-11.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Protocols for IP Multicast Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Gunter Van de Velde, Jim Guichard and John Scudder. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pim-light/ Technical Summary This document specifies Protocol Independent Multicast Light (PIM Light) and PIM Light Interface (PLI) which does not need PIM Hello message to accept PIM Join/Prune messages. PLI can signal multicast states over networks that can not support full PIM neighbor discovery, as an example BIER networks that are connecting two or more PIM domains. This document outlines the PIM Light protocol and procedures to ensure loop-free multicast traffic between two or more PIM Light routers. Working Group Summary Was there anything in the WG process that is worth noting? For example, was there controversy about particular points or were there decisions where the consensus was particularly rough? It reaches broad agreement. There have been discussions about use-cases other as a reference for draft-ietf-bier-pim-signaling. Document Quality Are there existing implementations of the protocol? Have a significant number of vendors indicated their plan to implement the specification? Are there any reviewers that merit special mention as having done a thorough review, e.g., one that resulted in important changes or a conclusion that the document had no substantive issues? If there was a MIB Doctor, Media Type, or other Expert Review, what was its course (briefly)? In the case of a Media Type Review, on what date was the request posted? At least one vendor implemented. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Zheng Zhang. The Responsible Area Director is Gunter Van de Velde.
