The IESG has approved the following document: - 'BGP Link-State Shortest Path First (SPF) Routing' (draft-ietf-lsvr-bgp-spf-51.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Link State Vector Routing 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-lsvr-bgp-spf/ Technical Summary Many Massively Scaled Data Centers (MSDCs) have converged on simplified L3 routing. Furthermore, requirements for operational simplicity has led many of these MSDCs to converge on BGP as their single routing protocol for both their fabric routing and their Data Center Interconnect (DCI) routing. This document describes extensions to BGP to use BGP Link-State distribution and the Shortest Path First (SPF) algorithm. In doing this, it allows BGP to be efficiently used as both the underlay protocol and the overlay protocol in MSDCs. Working Group Summary This document has gone through multiple WG and directorate reviews and several WGLCs. Broad consensus to advance the document. Document Quality Implementations of the protocol have been documented during the WG process. More details provided in the shepherd writeup. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Ketan Talaulikar. The Responsible Area Director is Jim Guichard. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
