Inter-Chassis Communication Protocol for Layer 2 Virtual Private Network Provider Edge Redundancy
RFC 7275, “Inter-Chassis Communication Protocol for Layer 2 Virtual Private Network Provider Edge Redundancy”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2014 by L. Martini, S. Salam, A. Sajassi, M. Bocci, S. Matsushima, T. Nadeau. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies an Inter-Chassis Communication Protocol (ICCP) that enables Provider Edge (PE) device redundancy for Virtual Private Wire Service (VPWS) and Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) applications. The protocol runs within a set of two or more PEs, forming a Redundancy Group, for the purpose of synchronizing data among the systems. It accommodates multi-chassis attachment circuit redundancy mechanisms as well as pseudowire redundancy mechanisms.
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.
