To: Tony Jeffree , Chair 802.1 cc: Stephen Haddock , Paul Nikolich , Ted Lemon , Jari Arkko , Dan Romascanu , Eric Gray , Bernard Aboba , Date: 21 January 2014 Subject: Update Liaison to IEEE 802.1 on TRILL OAM Dear Tony, This is a brief update to our liaison of 2013-11-15. The IETF TRILL Working Group is continuing its development of OAM facilities for the TRILL protocol: The https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-trill-oam-framework/ document, which had been approved by our WG as of our last liaison, has now also been approved as having IETF consensus, is in the RFC Editor's queue, and expected to be published as an RFC within a couple of months. The remaining OAM WG documents under development are as follows: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-trill-oam-fm/ https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-trill-loss-delay/ https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-trill-oam-mib/ Of these document, we consider the oam-fm (Fault Management) draft to be the highest priority OAM item for our WG. We continue to be interested in any comments, formal or informal, that IEEE 802.1 Working Group might have on the oam-fm (Fault Management) draft or on the other drafts. As before, Working Group draft status in the IETF can just indicate that the WG considers the document an appropriate starting point. In particular, while we think the TRILL WG is favorably inclined towards these drafts, a consensus determination has not been made and some changes are likely. Sincerely Yours, Erik Nordmark & Donald Eastlake 3rd Co-Chairs, IETF TRILL Working Group
