Hi All,
A new version of draft is available which has reference to RFC 7439 pointing out the gaps in RFC6074 which do not allow implementation of an interoperable FEC 0x81 solution.
This draft tries to handle this TBD gap ; the RFC7439 seems to confirm there is no current work in progress to plug this gap.

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.
