The IESG has approved the following document: - 'BGP Usage for SD-WAN Overlay Networks' (draft-ietf-bess-bgp-sdwan-usage-37.txt) as Informational RFC
This document is the product of the BGP Enabled ServiceS Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Gunter Van de Velde, Jim Guichard and Ketan Talaulikar. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bess-bgp-sdwan-usage/ Technical Summary The document discusses the usage and applicability of BGP as the control plane for multiple SD-WAN scenarios. The document aims to demonstrate how the BGP-based control plane is used for large-scale SD-WAN overlay networks with little manual intervention. SD-WAN edge nodes are commonly interconnected by multiple types of underlay networks owned and managed by different network providers. 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? While the working group reached consensus with no significant issues, a technical error identified during the prior IESG ballot required the document to be returned to the WG. The WG has since addressed the IESG feedback and produced an updated, improved version of the document. 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? All review edits requested have been implemented to improve document quality. Directorate feedbacks have also been considered. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Matthew Bocci. The Responsible Area Director is Gunter Van de Velde. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
