[GROW] VA drafts

[Paul Francis <[e-mail]>]

Hi Gang,

I made a mistake submitting the new versions of the base VA and 
auto-config drafts...I posted on time, but didn't realize that the IETF 
submission process also requires you to respond to the authentication 
emails on time.

Anyway, the two that failed the deadline are attached here, and I'll post 
as soon as the submission window opens again.  A third draft was submitted 
successfully, and is at 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-grow-simple-va-00.

A quick explanation:

There are no new mechanisms in these drafts.  Rather there is a 
consolidation of drafts and an overall simplification.  Namely:

1.  Called out the simple edge-core deployment as a stand-alone draft, 
since this is much simpler than full VA and adequate for many if not most 
cases.
2.  Folded the tunneling drafts into the main draft (and removed all 
tunneling types except LSPs, and inner labels over either LSPs or IP).
3.  Removed all auto-config mechanisms except the "can suppress", in large 
part because Huawei is implementing this.

At this point, I would say that the drafts are essentially finished 
pending lessons learned from implementation and deployment. 

Thanks, 

PF
