Technical Summary
This document specifies an inter-chassis communication protocol
(ICCP) that enables Provider Edge (PE) device redundancy for Virtual
Private Wire Service (VPWS) and Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS)
applications. The protocol runs within a set of two or more PEs,
forming a redundancy group, for the purpose of synchronizing data
amongst the systems. It accommodates multi-chassis attachment circuit
as well as pseudowire redundancy mechanisms.
Working Group Summary
There was good consensus on the document, with one exception
that is discussed in the section on IPR. That one exception was
the only thing really worth noting in the process..
Document Quality
There is at least one shipping implementation "deployed in
multiple customer networks".
