The IESG has approved the following document: - 'MPLS-TP Next-Hop Ethernet Addressing' (draft-ietf-mpls-tp-ethernet-addressing-08.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Adrian Farrel and Stewart Bryant. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-tp-ethernet-addressing/ Technical Summary This document presents considerations for link-layer addressing of Ethernet frames carrying MPLS-TP packets. The Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) is the set of MPLS protocol functions applicable to the construction and operation of packet-switched transport networks. Working Group Summary: There is good support in the working group for this draft. There were no significant controversies in progression of the document. Last call comments were constructive technical comments and the document has been updated accordingly. Document Quality: We know of intentions to implement this protocol. Since it is carried over the "MPLS G-ACh Advertisement Protocol", most implementers are in waiting mode for the assignemnt of the ACh type for that protocol. There is a downward references to RFC 2469 "A Caution On The Canonical Ordering Of Link-Layer Addresses". Personnel: Loa Andersson (loa@pi.nu) is the document shepherd. Adrian Farrel (adrian@olddog.uk) is the responsible AD.
