Proto-write-up for draft-ietf-l1vpn-applicability-basic-mode-04

Intended status : Informational

Recommend that this I-D is progressed in parallel with three other
I-Ds:
- draft-ietf-l1vpn-basic-mode
- draft-ietf-l1vpn-bgp-auto-discovery
- draft-ietf-l1vpn-ospf-auto-discovery

Adrian Farrel is the document shepherd.
He has personally reviewed the I-D and believes it is ready for
forwarding to the IESG for publication.

Note that all three working group chairs are contributing authors to
this I-D, but the lead has been taken by Tomonori Takeda.

>        and from key non-WG members?  Does the Document Shepherd have

Good list of authors/acknowledgees.

If review is measured by the level of comments then this has not been
extensively reviewed. But I think that this actually reflects the
fact that the I-D is well written, soundly constructed, and not
controversial. I am not worried about the depth of the review.

>        needs more review from a particular or broader perspective,

No concerns.

> (1.d)  Does the Document Shepherd have any specific concerns or

>        and/or the IESG should be aware of?  For example, perhaps he

The document is sound.

There were no problems with consensus for this document.

> (1.f)  Has anyone threatened an appeal or otherwise indicated extreme
>        discontent?  If so, please summarise the areas of conflict in
>        separate email messages to the Responsible Area Director.  (It

No threats. No discontent.

> (1.g)  Has the Document Shepherd personally verified that the
>        document satisfies all ID nits?  (See
>        http://www.ietf.org/ID-Checklist.html and
>        http://tools.ietf.org/tools/idnits/).  Boilerplate checks are
>        not enough; this check needs to be thorough.  Has the document
>        met all formal review criteria it needs to, such as the MIB
>        Doctor, media type and URI type reviews?

All checks made.

> (1.h)  Has the document split its references into normative and
>        informative?  Are there normative references to documents that
>        are not ready for advancement or are otherwise in an unclear
>        state?  If such normative references exist, what is the

>        that are downward references, as described in [RFC3967]?  If
>        so, list these downward references to support the Area
>        Director in the Last Call procedure for them [RFC3967].

References split.
No downrefs.

> (1.i)  Has the Document Shepherd verified that the document IANA
>        consideration section exists and is consistent with the body
>        of the document?  If the document specifies protocol
>        extensions, are reservations requested in appropriate IANA
>        registries?  Are the IANA registries clearly identified?  If
>        the document creates a new registry, does it define the
>        proposed initial contents of the registry and an allocation
>        procedure for future registrations?  Does it suggest a
>        reasonable name for the new registry?  See [RFC2434].  If the

>        can appoint the needed Expert during the IESG Evaluation?

This is an Informational I-D.
A null IANA section is present.

> (1.j)  Has the Document Shepherd verified that sections of the
>        document that are written in a formal language, such as XML
>        code, BNF rules, MIB definitions, etc., validate correctly in

No such sections.

This document provides an applicability statement on the use of
Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) protocols and
mechanisms to support Basic Mode Layer 1 Virtual Private Networks
(L1VPNs).

L1VPNs provide customer services and connectivity at layer 1 over
layer 1 networks. The operation of L1VPNs is divided into the Basic
Mode and the Enhanced Mode where the Basic Mode of operation does not
feature any exchange of routing information between the layer 1
network and the customer domain. This document examines how GMPLS
protocols can be used to satisfy the requirements of a Basic Mode
L1VPN.

Nothing of note.

This is an Informational I-D with no protocol specifications.
