Hi,

At the request of one of our Chairs (Giles) the REQ draft below replaces my original draft - "draft-l2vpn-vlpm' as a requirements draft for this solution.

Once reviewed and chewed I'll be submitting my proposed solution draft (as per my original ID) but I welcome any others.

Let's put the solution discussion on the shelf for now till we get a good peer review on this REQ.

Kind regards
Rich./

Abstract:
    Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) implementations, as defined in
    [RFC4761] and [RFC4762], are highly susceptible to layer-2 loops
    external to the PE customer-facing interface. Such loops impact
    performance and can have a detrimental affect on all VPLS traffic
    throughout the entire instance under certain conditions.

    Current Layer-2 loop detection and protection mechanisms do not
    function effectively here.

    This document describes the requirements for a protocol function
    to offer VPLS service providers a mechanism for detecting such
    layer-2 loops and facilitating configurable actions without the
    need for inter-operation with customer network protocols, other
    VPLS PEs or customer sourced frames.
