Forwarding and Control Element Separation Logical Function Block Library
RFC 6956, “Forwarding and Control Element Separation Logical Function Block Library”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2013 by W. Wang, E. Haleplidis, K. Ogawa, C. Li, J. Halpern. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines basic classes of Logical Function Blocks (LFBs) used in Forwarding and Control Element Separation (ForCES). The basic LFB classes are defined according to the ForCES Forwarding Element (FE) model and ForCES protocol specifications; they are scoped to meet requirements of typical router functions and are considered the basic LFB library for ForCES. The library includes the descriptions of the LFBs and the XML definitions.
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.
