High Availability within a Forwarding and Control Element Separation Network Element
RFC 7121, “High Availability within a Forwarding and Control Element Separation Network Element”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2014 by K. Ogawa, W. Wang, E. Haleplidis, J. Hadi Salim. It updates RFC 5810. It has since been updated by RFC 7391. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document discusses Control Element (CE) High Availability (HA) within a Forwarding and Control Element Separation (ForCES) Network Element (NE). Additionally, this document updates RFC 5810 by providing new normative text for the Cold Standby High Availability mechanism.
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.
