Adrian Farrel the document shepherd. The co-chairs have reviewed the
document. They think that the document is ready to be forwarded to the
IESG for publication.

The draft is very similar to RFC 5252 (OSPFv2 auto-discovery). That document 
received considerable discussion in the WG. This work has not attracted much 
interest within L1VPN.

However, the document was introduced to the OSPF working group and received 
detailed review from Acee Lindem (OSPF WG co-chair).

L1VPN WG last call was held jointly on the OSPF WG mailing list.

No concerns.

No concerns.

There was no filed IPR disclosure related to this document.

Not a lot of interest in the work from the working group, but no objections.

The motivation for this document is a specific request from the IESG.

No threats. No discontent.

The Document has been checked.

References split.
No downrefs.

A simple IANA section makes a single request for IANA action. The
format is clear.

No such formal language is used.

This document defines an Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) version 3
based Layer-1 Virtual Private Network (L1VPN) auto-discovery
mechanism.  This document parallels the existing OSPF version 2 L1VPN
auto-discovery mechanism.  The notable functional difference is the
support of IPv6.

This document was explicitly requested during IESG review of RFC 5252. That 
document had good consensus from the L1VPN working group, and defines 
extensions to OSPFv2 for L1VPN auto-discovery.

This document did not have much support from the working group, but had no 
opposition.

The only point of debate was whether this should be Standards Track or 
Experimental. In the absence of any implementation, and with no indication 
of any implementation plans, it was decided that Experimental was most 
appropriate.

As above: no implementations known, no plans known.

The document received a thorough review from Acee Lindem as co-chair of the 
OSPF working group.
