Extensions to BGP-Signaled Pseudowires to Support Flow-Aware Transport Labels
RFC 8395, “Extensions to BGP-Signaled Pseudowires to Support Flow-Aware Transport Labels”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2018 by K. Patel, S. Boutros, J. Liste, B. Wen, J. Rabadan. It updates RFC 4761. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines protocol extensions required to synchronize flow label states among Provider Edges (PEs) when using the BGP-based signaling procedures. These protocol extensions are equally applicable to point-to-point Layer 2 Virtual Private Networks (L2VPNs). This document updates RFC 4761 by defining new flags in the Control Flags field of the Layer2 Info Extended Community.
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.
