The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) Directed Return Path for MPLS Label Switched Paths (LSPs)' (draft-ietf-mpls-bfd-directed-31.txt) as Experimental RFC
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-bfd-directed/ Technical Summary Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) is expected to be able to monitor a wide variety of encapsulations of paths between systems. When a BFD session monitors an explicitly routed unidirectional path there may be a need to direct egress BFD peer to use a specific path for the reverse direction of the BFD session. This document describes an extension to the MPLS Label Switched Path (LSP) echo request that allows a BFD system requests that the remote BFD peer transmits BFD control packets over the specified LSP. Working Group Summary Working group consensus reached after several iterations of earlier versions (shepherd report provides details). Document Quality One implementation reported and documented in the shepherd writeup. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Nicolai Leymann. The Responsible Area Director is Jim Guichard. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list -- ietf-announce@ietf.org To unsubscribe send an email to ietf-announce-le...@ietf.org
