to 2/18/2021)

 

This begins a 2 week WG adoption call for draft-wang-idr-rd-orf-05.txt (from
2/4/2021 to 2/18/2021) 

 

This draft defines a new Outbound Route Filter (ORF) type, called the

Route Distinguisher ORF (RD-ORF).  RD-ORF is applicable when the

routers do not exchange VPN routing information directly (e.g.

routers in single-domain connect via Route Reflector, or routers in

Option B/Option AB/Option C cross-domain scenario).

 

Please be aware that this draft has one IPR statement attached. 

 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/4579/>
https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/4579/..

 

Please consider the following questions in your review and comments: 

 

1)      Will this new ORF filter reduce routing information at key points? 

[WAJ] Yes, it will filter dynamically the overwhelming VPN routing
information at the other side of the BGP peer, preserve the serving
capabilities for other VPNs on the local router.

 

2)      Should the WG consider this draft given it has an IPR claim or 

[WAJ] Yes.

Would the IDR WG prefer another approach? 

[WAJ] Other approaches are welcome, except the approaches that has been
discussed on the mail list, or mentioned in the draft. 

We are also welcome IDR experts to make contributions to refine the current
solution.

 

3)      Is this draft ready to be adopted and refined as WG draft? 

[WAJ] Yes. The draft has been presented twice on the IETF meetings,
discussed intensely in the mail list and updated several versions to address
the comments from WG mail list.  It will be refined after becoming the WG
draft.

 

 

Cheerily, Susan Hares
