Subject: Protocol Action: 'Redundancy Mechanism for Inter-domain VPLS Service' to Proposed Standard (draft-ietf-l2vpn-vpls-inter-domain-redundancy-07.txt)
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.

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.
