Hi all, I just submitted a draft about using a new Extended Community attribute called Tunnel Endpoint Attribute to realize inter-AS softwire mesh.
The abstract is as follows: The Softwire Mesh Framework [RFC5565] provides a solution for intra- AS softwires, but not inter-AS softwires. The ability to provide inter-AS softwires extends the benefits of softwires to a larger scale. Indeed, [RFC5565] discusses the possibility of inter-AS softwires, but does not provide a solution. This document defines a specific Extended Community attribute called the Tunnel Endpoint attribute, which allows for inter-AS softwires. For more detail, please see http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-xu-softwire-tunnel-endpoint-00.txt Any comment is appreciated.
