The IESG has approved the following document: - 'OSPF as the Provider/Customer Edge Protocol for BGP/MPLS IP VPNs ' <draft-ietf-l3vpn-ospf-2547-06.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Layer 3 Virtual Private Networks Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Mark Townsley and Margaret Wasserman. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-l3vpn-ospf-2547-06.txt Technical Summary Many Service Providers offer Virtual Private Network ("VPN") services to their customers, using a technique in which customer edge routers ("CE routers") are routing peers of provider edge routers ("PE routers"). The Border Gateway Protocol ("BGP") is used to distribute the customer's routes across the provider's IP backbone network, and Multiprotocol Label Switching ("MPLS") is used to tunnel customer packets across the provider's backbone. This is known as a "BGP/MPLS IP VPN", as described in RFC 2547bis. The base specification for BGP/MPLS IP VPNs presumes that the routing protocol on the interface between a PE router and a CE router is BGP. This document extends that specification by allowing the routing protocol on the PE/CE interface to be the Open Shortest Path First ("OSPF") protocol. Working Group Summary There was support for this document in the Working Group. Protocol Quality This document has been reviewed for the IESG by Thomas Narten. The OSPF WG has also reviewed the OSPF extensions. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
