Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   The document discusses the usage and applicability of BGP as the
   control plane for multiple SD-WAN scenarios. The document aims to
   demonstrate how the BGP-based control plane is used for large-scale
   SD-WAN overlay networks with little manual intervention.

   SD-WAN edge nodes are commonly interconnected by multiple types of
   underlay networks owned and managed by different network providers.

Working Group Summary

   Was there anything in the WG process that is worth noting?
   For example, was there controversy about particular points 
   or were there decisions where the consensus was
   particularly rough? 

Did not see any problem with the consensus in the working group 

Document Quality

   Are there existing implementations of the protocol?  Have a 
   significant number of vendors indicated their plan to
   implement the specification?  Are there any reviewers that
   merit special mention as having done a thorough review,
   e.g., one that resulted in important changes or a
   conclusion that the document had no substantive issues?  If
   there was a MIB Doctor, Media Type, or other Expert Review,
   what was its course (briefly)?  In the case of a Media Type
   Review, on what date was the request posted?

All review edits requested have been implemented
