A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 9012 Title: The BGP Tunnel Encapsulation Attribute Author: K. Patel, G. Van de Velde, S. Sangli, J. Scudder Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: April 2021 Mailbox: keyur@arrcus.com, gunter.van_de_velde@nokia.com, ssangli@juniper.net, jgs@juniper.net Pages: 41 Obsoletes: RFC 5512, RFC 5566 Updates: RFC 5640 I-D Tag: draft-ietf-idr-tunnel-encaps-22.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc9012 DOI: 10.17487/RFC9012 This document defines a BGP path attribute known as the "Tunnel Encapsulation attribute", which can be used with BGP UPDATEs of various Subsequent Address Family Identifiers (SAFIs) to provide information needed to create tunnels and their corresponding encapsulation headers. It provides encodings for a number of tunnel types, along with procedures for choosing between alternate tunnels and routing packets into tunnels. This document obsoletes RFC 5512, which provided an earlier definition of the Tunnel Encapsulation attribute. RFC 5512 was never deployed in production. Since RFC 5566 relies on RFC 5512, it is likewise obsoleted. This document updates RFC 5640 by indicating that the Load-Balancing Block sub-TLV may be included in any Tunnel Encapsulation attribute where load balancing is desired. This document is a product of the Inter-Domain Routing Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. This announcement is sent to the IETF-Announce and rfc-dist lists.
