The IESG has received a request from the BGP Enabled ServiceS WG (bess) to consider the following document: - 'Fast Recovery for EVPN Designated Forwarder Election' <draft-ietf-bess-evpn-fast-df-recovery-09.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 2024-07-31. 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 The Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) solution provides Designated Forwarder (DF) election procedures for multihomed Ethernet Segments. These procedures have been enhanced further by applying Highest Random Weight (HRW) algorithm for Designated Forwarder election in order to avoid unnecessary DF status changes upon a failure. This document improves these procedures by providing a fast Designated Forwarder election upon recovery of the failed link or node associated with the multihomed Ethernet Segment. This document updates Section 2.1 of [RFC8584] by optionally introducing delays between some of the events therein. The solution is independent of the number of EVPN Instances (EVIs) associated with that Ethernet Segment and it is performed via a simple signaling between the recovered node and each of the other nodes in the multihoming group. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bess-evpn-fast-df-recovery/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ BESS mailing list -- bess@ietf.org To unsubscribe send an email to bess-le...@ietf.org
