The IESG has approved the following document: - 'BFD for Geneve' (draft-ietf-nvo3-bfd-geneve-13.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Network Virtualization Overlays Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Jim Guichard, Andrew Alston and John Scudder. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-nvo3-bfd-geneve/ Technical Summary This document describes the use of the Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) protocol in point-to-point Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation (Geneve) unicast tunnels used to make up an overlay network. 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? Broad consensus was found in the working group for this document. 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? The are numerous known implementations of BFD over tunnels e.g. MPLS LSPs, and there are known implementations of Geneve. Although there is no formal record of implementations of BFD over Geneve, this draft does not make any changes to the BFD state machine and simply describes how it should be encapsulated. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Matthew Bocci. The Responsible Area Director is Andrew Alston. _______________________________________________ nvo3 mailing list nvo3@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/nvo3
