The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Extended Mobility Procedures for EVPN-IRB' (draft-ietf-bess-evpn-irb-extended-mobility-21.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the BGP Enabled ServiceS 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-bess-evpn-irb-extended-mobility/ Technical Summary This document specifies extensions to Ethernet VPN (EVPN) Integrated Routing and Bridging (IRB) procedures specified in RFC7432 and RFC9135 to enhance the mobility mechanisms for EVPN IRB-based networks. The proposed extensions improve the handling of host mobility and duplicate address detection in EVPN-IRB networks to cover a broader set of scenarios where host IP to MAC bindings may change across moves. These enhancements address limitations in the existing EVPN IRB mobility procedures by providing more efficient and scalable solutions. The extensions are backward compatible with existing EVPN IRB implementations and aim to optimize network performance in scenarios involving frequent IP address mobility. Working Group Summary Was there anything in the WG process that is worth noting? For example, was there controversy about particular points or were there decisions where the consensus was particularly rough? Consensus was clear on the draft with support from people from various affiliations. The document was updated multiple times as per WG comments. There was no particular controversy. WG commented the draft that was updated accordingly. Document Quality Are there existing implementations of the protocol? Have a significant number of vendors indicated their plan to implement the specification? Are there any reviewers that merit special mention as having done a thorough review, e.g., one that resulted in important changes or a conclusion that the document had no substantive issues? If there was a MIB Doctor, Media Type, or other Expert Review, what was its course (briefly)? In the case of a Media Type Review, on what date was the request posted? There are at least two known implementations of the draft. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Stephane Litkowski. The Responsible Area Director is Gunter Van de Velde.
