The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Multicast-only Fast Reroute Based on Topology Independent Loop-free Alternate (TI-LFA) Fast Reroute' (draft-ietf-pim-mofrr-tilfa-14.txt) as Informational RFC
This document is the product of the Protocols for IP Multicast Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Gunter Van de Velde, Jim Guichard and Ketan Talaulikar. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pim-mofrr-tilfa/ Technical Summary This document specifies the use of Topology Independent Loop-Free Alternate (TI-LFA) mechanisms with Multicast Only Fast ReRoute (MoFRR) for Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM). TI-LFA provides fast reroute protection for unicast traffic in IP networks by precomputing backup paths that avoid potential failures. By integrating TI-LFA with MoFRR, this document extends the benefits of fast reroute mechanisms to multicast traffic, enabling enhanced resilience and minimized packet loss in multicast networks. The document outlines the necessary protocol extensions and operational considerations to implement TI-LFA in conjunction with MoFRR for PIM, ensuring that multicast traffic is rapidly rerouted in the event of a failure. 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? No special observations to mention. There was broad agreement. Good support for the document, no one against it. 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? Nothing special observations that need mentioning. Due to a very late technical findings the document rerun IETF LC and IESG ballot Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Stig Venaas. The Responsible Area Director is Gunter Van de Velde. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
