The IESG has approved the following document: - 'EVPN Virtual Ethernet Segment' (draft-ietf-bess-evpn-virtual-eth-segment-19.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-virtual-eth-segment/ Technical Summary Ethernet VPN (EVPN) and Provider Backbone EVPN (PBB-EVPN) introduce a comprehensive suite of solutions for delivering Ethernet services over MPLS/IP networks. These solutions offer advanced features, including multi-homing capabilities. Specifically, they support Single-Active and All-Active redundancy modes for an Ethernet Segment (ES), which is defined as a collection of physical links connecting a multi-homed device or network to a set of Provider Edge (PE) devices. This document extends the concept of an Ethernet Segment by allowing an ES to be associated with a set of Ethernet Virtual Circuits (EVCs, such as VLANs) or other entities, including MPLS Label Switched Paths (LSPs) or Pseudowires (PWs). This extended concept is referred to as Virtual Ethernet Segments (vES). This draft outlines the requirements and necessary extensions to support vES in both EVPN and PBB-EVPN. Working Group Summary There is broad consensus in the working group for this to progress Document Quality There are 3 known vendor implementations of this draft. Other outstanding comments from the earlier reviews have been addressed. Consensus achieved- even though most reviews/comments occurred at WGLC (i.e. late in process) (Update from WG Co-Chair Matthew Bocci) Note that this document was sent back to the WG for a second WG last call following an original publication request on v07 of the draft. This was the result of a number of significant comments in AD and IESG review and there was a desire to confirm WG consensus on the new text to resolve these comments. There was working group consensus on this and v14 of the draft reflects this together with a number of editorial corrections. The response to an INTdir review was subsequently discussed on the BESS list but the consensus was that the draft should progress as-is. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Luc André Burdet. The Responsible Area Director is Gunter Van de Velde. _______________________________________________ BESS mailing list -- bess@ietf.org To unsubscribe send an email to bess-le...@ietf.org
