Subject: [Idr] Fwd: draft-bashandy-bgp-edge-node-frr-00.txt is a new draft

Hi,

The draft proposes a mechanism by which traffic can be rerouted, without waiting for BGP or IGP to re-converge, to another PE in a BGP-free core when the egress PE becomes totally disconnected from the core (e.g. edge router crashes). The proposal does not require any special router(s) to handle rerouting traffic and does not require core routers to know about BGP routes or replication of BGP routes to any other edge router.

All comments are welcomed

Thanks

Ahmed

You posted a new draft today. In the interest of informing your
Cisco colleagues, would you be so kind as to fill the rest of us
in on your project and what the draft is about?

The file may be found online at

By the way: if you know of a CPOL that might relate to this,
and you have not done so, would you please access
http://wwwin-eng.cisco.com/pcb/standards/csrt.cgi to register
the relationship between the CPOL and the draft?

The abstract you included reads:
