Layer 1 VPN Basic Mode
RFC 5251, “Layer 1 VPN Basic Mode”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2008 by D. Fedyk, Y. Rekhter, D. Papadimitriou, R. Rabbat, L. Berger. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes the Basic Mode of Layer 1 VPNs (L1VPNs). L1VPN Basic Mode (L1VPN BM) is a port-based VPN. In L1VPN Basic Mode, the basic unit of service is a Label Switched Path (LSP) between a pair of customer ports within a given VPN port topology. This document defines the operational model using either provisioning or a VPN auto-discovery mechanism, and the signaling extensions for the L1VPN BM. [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.
