The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) for Multipoint Networks over Point-to-Multi-Point MPLS Label Switched Path (LSP)' (draft-ietf-mpls-p2mp-bfd-11.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Multiprotocol Label Switching 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-mpls-p2mp-bfd/ Technical Summary This document describes procedures for using Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) for multipoint networks to detect data plane failures in Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) point-to-multipoint (p2mp) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) and Segment Routing (SR) point-to- multipoint policies with SR-MPLS data plane. Furthermore, this document also updates RFC 8562 and recommends the use of an IPv6 loopback address (:::1/128) and discourages the use of an IPv4 loopback address mapped to IPv6. It also describes the applicability of LSP Ping, as in-band, and the control plane, as out-band, solutions to bootstrap a BFD session. It also describes the behavior of the active tail for head notification. Working Group Summary Broad WG consensus to move document forward. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Nicolai Leymann. The Responsible Area Director is Jim Guichard. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
