[PWE3] Fwd: New Non-WG Mailing List: Tofoo -- Discussion list for Tunneling over Foo (with)in IP networks (TOFOO)

There's no explicit indication that MPLS tunnels and/or pseudowires will be
included in this list, but you might want to subscribe just in case.

Cheers,

over Foo (with)in IP networks (TOFOO)

A new IETF non-working group email list has been created.

List address: tofoo@ietf.org
Archive: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/tofoo/
To subscribe: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/tofoo

Purpose:

Tunneling data across IP-based networks can use a variety of existing
encapsulation schemes, such as, GRE [RFC2784], IP-in-IP [RFC2003] and IPsec
tunnels [RFC4301] or proposed encapsulation schemes that are based on
carrying traffic over UDP.
The demand for using tunnels in data centers and across the Internet is
increasing also due to network virtualization.
A number of known issues have been raised around using tunnels, discussions
about applicability of these issues are ongoing and a number of solutions
to cope with, for instance, congestion control or congestion control
sensitivity, are being discussed.
The intention of this list is to bring together tunnel protocol
designers/implementers, network operators, and the different areas in the
IETF to discuss the ways forward.

For additional information, please contact the list administrators.
