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-call@ietf.org mailing lists by 2024-07-31. Exceptionally, comments may
be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning

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.
