The IESG has approved the following document: - 'LISP Generic Protocol Extension' (draft-ietf-lisp-gpe-19.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Locator/ID Separation Protocol Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Martin Vigoureux and Deborah Brungard. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lisp-gpe/ Technical Summary This document describes extensions to the Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) Data-Plane, via changes to the LISP header, to support multi-protocol encapsulation and allow to introduce new protocol capabilities. Working Group Summary The document was first published in 2013, but because the WG was not chartered to work on multi-protocol support the document was left to expire. Things changed with the rechartering of the LISP WG, which now explicitly includes multi-protocol support. After the LISP WG concluded the bulk of the work on the bis documents, representing the basic LISP Standard Track specifications, the LISP-GPE document has been updated and the WG adopted it right away. Some technical discussion took place concerning the way LISP-GPE boxes have to interoperate with legacy LISP boxes, but the WG always showed support and willingness to move the document forward. This document was previously reviewed by the IESG, due to the technical changes which have been made, it was Last Called again and re-balloted. Document Quality There are three independent implementations of the proposed extensions. Personnel Who is the Document Shepherd for this document?
