The IESG has received a request from the BGP Enabled ServiceS WG (bess) to consider the following document: - 'BGP Usage for SD-WAN Overlay Networks' <draft-ietf-bess-bgp-sdwan-usage-30.txt> as Informational RFC
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2026-04-22. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document explores the complexities involved in managing large scale Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) overlay networks, along with various SD-WAN scenarios. Its objective is to illustrate how a BGP-based control plane can effectively manage these overlay networks by distributing edge service reachability information, WAN port attributes, and underlay path details, thereby minimizing manual provisioning. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bess-bgp-sdwan-usage/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ BESS mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
