Forwarding and Control Element Separation Protocol Extensions
RFC 7391, “Forwarding and Control Element Separation Protocol Extensions”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2014 by J. Hadi Salim. It updates RFC 5810, RFC 7121. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Experience in implementing and deploying the Forwarding and Control Element Separation (ForCES) architecture has demonstrated the need for a few small extensions both to ease programmability and to improve wire efficiency of some transactions. The ForCES protocol is extended with a table range operation and a new extension for error handling. This document updates the semantics in RFCs 5810 and 7121 to achieve that end goal.
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.
