Title   : BGP based Multi-homing in Virtual Private LAN Service

Abstract:
   Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) is a Layer 2 Virtual Private
   Network (VPN) that gives its customers the appearance that their
   sites are connected via a Local Area Network (LAN).  It is often
   required for the Service Provider (SP) to give the customer redundant
   connectivity to some sites, often called "multi-homing".  This memo
   shows how BGP-based multi-homing can be offered in the context of LDP
   and BGP VPLS solutions.

[bess] Secdir last call review of draft-ietf-bess-bgp-vpls-control-flags-07

2019-03-26 Thread Watson Ladd via Datatracker
Reviewer: Watson Ladd
Review result: Ready


I have reviewed this document as part of the security directorate's 
ongoing effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the 
IESG.  These comments were written primarily for the benefit of the 
security area directors.  Document editors and WG chairs should treat 
these comments just like any other last call comments.

The summary of the review is Ready.

This document fixes a corner case where some features were not being negotiated 
properly. 
It's quite clear and concise, and fixes what seems to be a real problem.
