The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Fast Failover in Protocol Independent Multicast - Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) Using Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) for Multipoint Networks' (draft-ietf-pim-bfd-p2mp-use-case-10.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Protocols for IP Multicast Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, John Scudder and Martin Vigoureux. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pim-bfd-p2mp-use-case/ Technical Summary This document specifies how Bidirectional Forwarding Detection for multipoint networks can provide sub-second failover for routers that participate in Protocol Independent Multicast - Sparse Mode (PIM-SM). An extension to the PIM Hello message used to bootstrap a point-to- multipoint BFD session is also defined in this document. Working Group Summary The draft was developed for over 2 years and when it came time for WGLC there was full consensus. Document Quality There was a thorough review by individuals representing multiple vendors. But there are no implementations currently.
