The IESG has received a request from the BGP Enabled ServiceS WG (bess) to consider the following document: - 'Optimized Ingress Replication solution for EVPN' <draft-ietf-bess-evpn-optimized-ir-08.txt> as Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the last-c...@ietf.org mailing lists by 2021-09-07. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to i...@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Network Virtualization Overlay (NVO) networks using EVPN as control plane may use Ingress Replication (IR) or PIM (Protocol Independent Multicast) based trees to convey the overlay BUM traffic. PIM provides an efficient solution to avoid sending multiple copies of the same packet over the same physical link, however it may not always be deployed in the NVO core network. IR avoids the dependency on PIM in the NVO network core. While IR provides a simple multicast transport, some NVO networks with demanding multicast applications require a more efficient solution without PIM in the core. This document describes a solution to optimize the efficiency of IR in NVO networks. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bess-evpn-optimized-ir/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ BESS mailing list BESS@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/bess
