Redundancy Mechanism for Inter-domain VPLS Service
RFC 7309, “Redundancy Mechanism for Inter-domain VPLS Service”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2014 by Z. Liu, L. Jin, R. Chen, D. Cai, S. Salam. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
In many existing Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) inter-domain deployments (based on RFC 4762), pseudowire (PW) connectivity offers no Provider Edge (PE) node redundancy, or offers PE node redundancy with only a single domain. This deployment approach incurs a high risk of service interruption, since at least one domain will not offer PE node redundancy. This document describes an inter-domain VPLS solution that provides PE node redundancy across domains.
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.
