Multiple Provisioning Domain Architecture

Overview

RFC 7556, “Multiple Provisioning Domain Architecture”, is an Informational document published in June 2015 by D. Anipko. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document is a product of the work of the Multiple Interfaces Architecture Design team. It outlines a solution framework for some of the issues experienced by nodes that can be attached to multiple networks simultaneously. The framework defines the concept of a Provisioning Domain (PvD), which is a consistent set of network configuration information. PvD-aware nodes learn PvD-specific information from the networks they are attached to and/or other sources. PvDs are used to enable separation and configuration consistency in the presence of multiple concurrent connections.
