The IESG has approved the following document:
- 'An Architecture for IP/LDP Fast-Reroute Using Maximally Redundant
Trees'
(draft-ietf-rtgwg-mrt-frr-architecture-10.txt) as Proposed Standard

This document is the product of the Routing Area Working Group.

The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Alia Atlas and Deborah
Brungard.

Technical Summary

This document defines the architecture for IP/LDP Fast-Reroute using
Maximally Redundant Trees (MRT-FRR). MRT-FRR is a technology that
gives link-protection and node-protection with 100% coverage in any
network topology that is still connected after the failure.

Working Group Summary

The WG thoroughly reviewed the document and no outstanding technical
issues remain.

Both WG Chairs and the AD assigned to this WG are involved in the work,
so the Responsible AD (listed below), aided by the Document Shepherd,
conducted the WGLC. During this process there were some comments
about publishing this document as Informational/Experimental, but there
is rough consensus to proceed on the Standards Track.

Document Quality

There are existing implementations and multiple vendors have shown
significant interest in the topic.

Personnel

Document Shepherd: JÃ¡nos Farkas
Responsible Area Director: Alvaro Retana

RFC Editor Note

This document and draft-ietf-rtgwg-mrt-frr-algorithm should be published together (consecutive RFC numbers would be nice, but not necessary).
