Hi,

While exploring the current specifications of BGP auto discovery L2VPN with LDPv6 as signaling protocol, we have sensed a gap because of which it cannot be implemented in an interoperable manner.
A basic search in the related working groups indicates that there is no work in progress in this area as of now.

>From that perspective we have proposed an update on RFC6074 for the BGP auto discovery L2VPN to use IPv6 remote PE.
This solution or a similar one is required for moving the MPLS core network to IPv6 while having the L2VPN solutions working.
All NEMs will have to adopt to a standard solution for ensuring interoperability and seamless migration to IPv6 network.

The link of the document is as follows:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-abhattacharya-bess-l2vpn-ipv6-remotepe-02

We seek reviews/interests/comments from the working group members which will help in evolving the document.

Regards,
Avik.
