IETF 100 – DC ROUTING Agenda

Wednesday, November 15^th, 2017

09:30-12:00: Morning Session

Room: Padang

Data Center Routing (DCROUTING):

· Status: non-WG-Forming

· Responsible AD: Alvaro Retana

· BoF Chairs: Gunter Van de Velde, Victor Kuarsingh

Background

Over the last year, there have been discussions in a number of routing area

working groups about proposals aimed at routing within a data center.

Because of their topologies (traditional and emerging), traffic patterns,

need for fast restoration, and need for low human intervention, among

other things, data centers are driving a set of routing solutions specific

to them. The intent of this BOF is to discuss the special circumstances that

surround routing in the data center and potential new solutions.

The objective is not to select a single solution, but to determine whether

there is interest and energy in the community to work on any of the proposals.
