The IESG has no problem with the publication of 'Cisco Systems UniDirectional Link Detection (UDLD) Protocol' <draft-foschiano-udld-03.txt> as an Informational RFC. The IESG would also like the RFC-Editor to review the comments in the datatracker (https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/pidtracker.cgi?command=view_id&dTag=13566&rfc_flag=0) related to this document and determine whether or not they merit incorporation into the document. Comments may exist in both the ballot and the comment log. The IESG contact person is Russ Housley. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-foschiano-udld-03.txt The process for such documents is described at http://www.rfc-editor.org/indsubs.html. Thank you, The IESG Secretary Technical Summary This document describes a Cisco Systems protocol that can be used to detect and disable unidirectional Ethernet fiber or copper links caused for instance by mis-wiring of fiber strands, interface malfunctions, media converters' faults, etc. It operates at Layer 2 in conjunction with IEEE 802.3's existing Layer 1 fault detection mechanisms. This document explains the protocol objectives and applications, illustrates the specific premises the protocol was based upon and describes the protocol architecture and related deployment issues, to serve as a possible base for future standardization. Working Group Summary This document is not the product of any IETF Working Group. It was submitted directly to the RFC Editor by the authors. Protocol Quality This document was reviewed by Joel Halpern and by the RFC Editor. At the request of the RFC Editor, the author changed the title and Abstract to make clear that this is a Cisco protocol, not an IETF product. IESG Note This RFC is not a candidate for any level of Internet Standard. The IETF disclaims any knowledge of the fitness of this RFC for any purpose and in particular notes that the decision to publish is not based on IETF review for such things as security, congestion control, or inappropriate interaction with deployed protocols. The RFC Editor has chosen to publish this document at its discretion. Readers of this document should exercise caution in evaluating its value for implementation and deployment. See RFC 3932 for more information. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
