Fw: liaison to IETF (ccamp, MPLS, BFD, PWE3, and L3VPN) on MFA Forum MPLS ICI

["Adrian Farrel" <adrian@olddog.co.uk>]

Hi,

Here is another liaison from the MFA Forum.

This one asks for our review of a new specification, but gives no deadline 
for the review.

See the liaison and the specification at www.olddog.co.uk/ccamp.htm

Cheers,
Adrian

MPLS ICI

Dear All,

The MFA Forum is currently working on an MPLS Inter-Carrier Interconnect
(MPLS-ICI) specification to support IP VPNs, MPLS Pseudo Wires, Data
Trunks, and VoIP. This specification is being driven by the MFA Forum
service provider members.

The objective of this Technical Specification is to enable a set of MPLS
services, across administrative domains operated by different carriers.
The MPLS ICI is a bi-directional IP-MPLS logical link between an
Autonomous System Border Router (ASBR) in one service provider network
and an ASBR in another service provider network.

This document is targeted to equipment vendors to specify the necessary
ASBR requirements and to service providers to provide guidance on how to
use these capabilities. This document uses protocols developed in
appropriate standard bodies (e.g., IETF, ITU) where applicable.

This document is in our first level ballot procedure.

Please review and provide comments.

Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

Cordially,

David Sinicrope,
A&D Chair, MFA Forum

Rao Cherukuri
Chairman, MFA Forum Technical Committee
(draft MPLS ICI)
