The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Redundancy Mechanism for Inter-domain VPLS Service' (draft-ietf-l2vpn-vpls-inter-domain-redundancy-07.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Layer 2 Virtual Private Networks Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Adrian Farrel and Alia Atlas. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-l2vpn-vpls-inter-domain-redundancy/ Technical Summary: In many existing Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) inter-domain deployments (based on RFC 4762), pseudowire (PW) connectivity offers no Provider Edge (PE) node redundancy, or offers PE node redundancy only with a single domain. This deployment approach incurs a high risk of service interruption, since at least one domain will not offer PE node redundancy. This document describes an inter-domain VPLS solution that provides PE node redundancy across domains. Working Group Summary: This document is an L2VPN Working Group document, and has been discussed in the working group through multiple iterations of the draft and its predecessor draft (draft-liu-l2vpn-vpls-inter-domain-redundancy). It has been essentially stable since WG adoption in May 2013. Prior to WG adoption the protocol operations in the predecessor draft were removed, leaving the draft as a simple BCP on options for configuring redundancy for inter-domain VPLS services. Document Quality: The document is short (11 pages in total) and to the point. Personnel: Document Shepherd: Giles Heron (giheron@cisco.com) Area Director: Adrian Farrel (Adrian@olddog.co.uk)
