The IESG has approved the following document: - 'IETF ForCES Logical Function Block (LFB) Subsidiary Management' (draft-ietf-forces-lfb-subsidiary-management-02.txt) as Proposed Standard This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Alia Atlas. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-forces-lfb-subsidiary-management/ Technical Summary Deployment experience has demonstrated the value of using the Forwarding and Control Element Separation (ForCES) architecture to manage resources other than packet forwarding. In that spirit, the Forwarding Element Manager (FEM) is modelled by creating a Logical Functional Block (LFB) to represent its functionality. We refer to this LFB as the Subsidiary Mechanism (SM) LFB. A Control Element (CE) that controls a Forwarding Element's (FE) resources can also manage its configuration via the SM LFB. This document introduces the SM LFB, an LFB that specifies the configuration parameters of an FE. Working Group Summary The document shepherd has reviewed this document several times during its evolution. The working group reviewed and briefly discussed the document in July on 2014, and adopted the document without dissent in February of 2015. Informal discussion indicated agreement that the particular problem beign addressed was useful, and that the approach was consistent with the overall ForCES work. This draft was left to complete its processing when the FORCES working group was closed. Document Quality This document was originally developed in the ForCES working group. It was reviewed in that group, and has been reviewed by the shepherd after the closing of the working group. Personnel Joel Halpern acting as document shepherd. Alia Atlas is the Area Director
