Forwarding and Control Element Separation Inter-FE Logical Functional Block
RFC 8013, “Forwarding and Control Element Separation Inter-FE Logical Functional Block”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2017 by D. Joachimpillai, J. Hadi Salim. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes how to extend the Forwarding and Control Element Separation (ForCES) Logical Functional Block (LFB) topology across Forwarding Elements (FEs) by defining the inter-FE LFB class. The inter-FE LFB class provides the ability to pass data and metadata across FEs without needing any changes to the ForCES specification. The document focuses on Ethernet transport.
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.
