Attachment Individual Identifier Types for Aggregation
RFC 5003, “Attachment Individual Identifier Types for Aggregation”, is a Proposed Standard document published in September 2007 by C. Metz, L. Martini, F. Balus, J. Sugimoto. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The signaling protocols used to establish point-to-point pseudowires include type-length-value (TLV) fields that identify pseudowire endpoints called attachment individual identifiers (AIIs). This document defines AII structures in the form of new AII TLV fields that support AII aggregation for improved scalability and Virtual Private Network (VPN) auto-discovery. It is envisioned that this would be useful in large inter-domain virtual private wire service networks where pseudowires are established between selected local and remote provider edge (PE) nodes based on customer need. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
