All,

this is a review of draft-liman-tld-names-05.txt for the DNS Directorate.
To my knowledge this document has not been last called yet, but is considered
as an AD sponsored Individual Submission.   An earlier version of this draft has
been discussed in the DNS Operations working group.  Since it aims at updating
a Standrads Track RFC, it was not considered for adoption in this particular WG.
However, independent of this formal obstacle, it did not gain traction.

>                   Top Level Domain Name Specification
>                         draft-liman-tld-names-05

> Abstract

>    The syntax for allowed Top-Level Domain (TLD) labels in the Domain
>    Name System (DNS) is not clearly applicable to the encoding of
>    Internationalised Domain Names (IDNs) as TLDs.

>    This document provides a concise specification of TLD label syntax
>    based on existing syntax documentation, extended minimally to
>    accommodate IDNs.

>    This document updates RFC1123.

Summary: To the extent that RFC 1123 actually or allegedly is in conflict with
today's content of the DNS root zone (or vice versa), an IETF action might be
advised. However, this draft goes far beyond what would be necessary to resolve
the potential ambiguity posed by RFC 1123 and in fact mixes protocol and registration
policy in a way that does not seem appropriate to me in today's environment which is
more complicated than when RFC 1123 was published.  My recommendation is to remove
all attempts from the draft that phrase what "correct", "inambiguous" or
"alphabetic" IDN TLDs or IDN labels are and strictly update only the one
paragraph in RFC1123 that suggests "xn--" may ot appear in a TLD label.

If there is enough support, the IETF could attempt to give recommedations regarding
the IDN TLD registration policy, but this has to happen in a different document that
will not be on standards track.  Eventually the responsibility for the TLD
name registration policy remains with the IANA function at ICANN that is not
governed by the IETF and in particular is out of the scope of RFC 2860.

> 1.  Introduction

>    The syntax of TLD labels ("TLD DNS-Labels", as defined in Section 2)
>    is specified in [RFC1123], where such labels are asserted to be
>    "alphabetic" within a section of that document entitled "DISCUSSION".
>    This can be interpreted as requiring that the hyphen character ("-")
>    and numeric digits be excluded from TLD DNS-Labels.  Such a
>    restriction would not accommodate the US-ASCII encoding of
>    Internationalised Domain Names (IDNs), as specified in [RFC5890].  A
>    more detailed discussion of the existing specifications can be found
>    in Section 3.

>    This document extends the syntax of allowable TLD DNS-Labels to
>    support IDNs, but places some restrictions on the choice of IDN
>    labels.  These restrictions are intended to be consistent with the
>    existing specification for US-ASCII TLD DNS-Labels.  See Section 4
>    for the updated specification.

>    This document focuses narrowly on the issue of allowable DNS-Labels
>    in TLDs and does not (and is not intended to) make any other changes
>    or clarifications to existing domain name syntax rules.

>    It is carefully noted that the specification in this document is not
>    the only factor in choosing suitable TLD DNS-Labels, and that many
>    considerations external to the IETF are included in that wider
>    policy.  See Section 5 for more discussion of policy considerations.

> 2.  Definitions

>    The term DNS-Label is used in this document to have precisely the
>    same meaning as the term "label", as introduced in [RFC1034], section
>    3.1.  A DNS-Label denotes one node in a DNS tree.  A DNS-Label is
>    zero to 63 octets in length.  The term "DNS-Label" refers exclusively
>    to the "wire format" of the label, and not to any presentation format
>    of the label.

>    A Top-Level Domain (TLD) DNS-Label is the right-most ("highest-
>    level") DNS-Label in a fully-qualified domain name.

>    The terms A-Label and U-Label are used in this document as defined in
>    [RFC5890].


> 3.  Background

>    [RFC0952] defines a host name as follows:

>       'A "name" ... is a text string up to 24 characters drawn from the
>       alphabet (A-Z), digits (0-9), minus sign (-), and period (.).
>       Note that periods are only allowed when they serve to delimit
>       components of "domain style names".  (See RFC-921, "Domain Name
>       System Implementation Schedule", for background).  No blank or
>       space characters are permitted as part of a name.  No distinction
>       is made between upper and lower case.  The first character must be
>       an alpha character.  The last character must not be a minus sign
>       or period.'  [Unnumbered section titled "ASSUMPTIONS", first
>       paragraph]

>    [RFC1123] reaffirms this definition, but makes one change to the
>    syntax:

>       'The syntax of a legal Internet host name was specified in RFC-952
>       [DNS:4].  One aspect of host name syntax is hereby changed: the
>       restriction on the first character is relaxed to allow either a
>       letter or a digit.  Host software MUST support this more liberal
>       syntax.'  [Section 2.1]

>    In addition, the DISCUSSION section of Section 2.1 says:

>       'However, a valid host name can never have the dotted-decimal form
>       #.#.#.#, since at least the highest-level component label will be
>       alphabetic.'  [Section 2.1]

>    Some implementers may have understood the above phrase 'will be
>    alphabetic' to be a protocol restriction.

This _may_ be true, but since this restriction is only applicable in the
context of the complete paragraph which the draft fails to quote:

           If a dotted-decimal number can be entered without such
           identifying delimiters, then a full syntactic check must be
           made, because a segment of a host domain name is now allowed
           to begin with a digit and could legally be entirely numeric
           (see Section 6.1.2.4).  However, a valid host name can never
           have the dotted-decimal form #.#.#.#, since at least the
           highest-level component label will be alphabetic.

These considerations apply to confusing an FQDN with a dotted quad and
just deduce from the shape of then current TLDs that a full ambiguity
"never" can happen. No harm is done unless and until we'd see an all-digits
TLD.  In today's environment it might be a good idea to spend some cycles
on IPv6 literals, too.

>    Neither [RFC0952] nor [RFC1123] explicitly states the reasons for
>    these restrictions.  It might be supposed that human factors were a
>    consideration; [RFC1123] appears to suggest that one of the reasons
>    was to prevent confusion between dotted-decimal IPv4 addresses and
>    host domain names.  In any case, it is reasonable to believe that the
>    restrictions have been assumed in some deployed software, and that
>    changes to the rules should be undertaken with caution.

This is hand waving, IMHO.

>    In order to accommodate the wish to express TLD names in scripts
>    other than Latin (or rather, the US-ASCII subset of Latin), it is
>    necessary to allow non-alphabetic characters in the corresponding TLD
>    DNS-Labels.  To minimize changes, the U-label form of a TLD name is
>    restricted in ways functionally compatible with the restrictions
>    (from [RFC0952] and [RFC1123]) on US-ASCII TLD names, by applying
>    rules analogous to those already imposed on US-ASCII TLD DNS-Labels
>    to TLD U-labels.

>    However, deployed software that checks DNS top-level labels for
>    conformance with an alphabetic restriction will not recognize such
>    corresponding A-Labels (i.e., U-labels represented in their US-ASCII
>    form).

So, since A-labels will always start with "xn--" and are likely to contain
digits and another "-", "deployed software" that makes (misguided) assumptions
about the characters used in TLD labels is not helped.

> 4.  TLD Label Syntax Specification

>    This document relaxes the existing specification to allow TLD DNS-
>    Labels to be well-formed A-Labels, but places restrictions on their
>    corresponding U-Labels.  That is, not every well-formed A-Label is a
>    valid TLD DNS-Label.

Nit: as per the definition above "DNS-Label" refers to the wire format whereas
"A-label" as per RFC 5890 are in presentation format, thus they cannot be
equal but only represeantations of each other.

>    The ABNF expression that matches a valid TLD DNS-Label is as follows:

>              tld-dns-label = traditional-tld-label / idn-label

>              traditional-tld-label = 1*63(ALPHA)

>              idn-label = Restricted-A-Label

>              ALPHA    = %x41-5A / %x61-7A   ; A-Z / a-z

>    A Restricted-A-Label is a DNS-Label which satisfies all the following
>    conditions:

>    1.  the DNS-Label is a valid A-Label according to [RFC5890];

>    2.  the derived property value of all code points, as defined by
>        [RFC5890], is PVALID;

>    3.  the general category of all code points, is one of { Ll, Lo, Lm,
>        Mn }.

>    This new specification reflects current practice in registration of
>    TLD names by the IANA, extended to accommodate IDNs.

There is no justification or explanation given for this restriction and also no
way in which this change to the U-label would help deployed software that allegedly
checks TLD labels for being "alphabetic".

> 5.  Policy Considerations

>    This document provides a technical specification that limits the set
>    of TLD DNS-Labels that are available for assignment; it does not aim
>    to encapsulate the full policy framework within which TLD names are
>    chosen.

>    At the time of writing, the policy under which TLD names are chosen
>    is developed and maintained by ICANN in consultation with a wide base
>    of stakeholders.  As the Internet continues to grow to serve new user
>    communities, applications and services, it is to be expected that the
>    corresponding policy will be changed accordingly.

It is unclear whether this draft attempts to reflect current IANA/ICANN root zone
TLD naming policy into an IETF standard and why that would be advised, justified
or desirable - or vice versa in which case the documents lacks a justification
for the restriction of TLD labels.

> 6.  IANA Considerations

>    While this document makes no requests of the IANA, management of the
>    root zone is an IANA function.  This document expands the set of
>    strings permitted for delegation from the root zone, and hence
>    establishes new limits for the corresponding IANA policy.

Management of the root zone is an IANA function outside the scope of RFC 2860,
whereas "IANA considerations" guide IANA under exact that MoU.  Therefore, this
text has no effect.  The last sentence, though, answers my question raised after
the previous paragraph: again, the technical justification for limiting the
TLD code points in the context of the RFC 1123 ambiguity is missing.

> 7.  Security Considerations

>    This document is believed to have limited security implications.

>    General discussion about the security effects of internationalized
>    labels can be found in [RFC5890], section 4.  Those considerations
>    apply equally to TLD labels.

>    The creation of new TLDs has the potential to conflict with software
>    which (for example) predates and correspondingly does not accommodate
>    new TLD names.  Such software problems might in turn lead to security
>    vulnerabilities, e.g. in the case where a DNS name specified by a
>    user is truncated or otherwise misinterpreted, causing an application
>    to interact with a different remote host from that which the user
>    intended.  It should be noted that this is not a new phenomenon, and
>    has been observed following the creation of new (US-ASCII) TLD names
>    prior to the publication of this document.

>    The issue that some Unicode characters can be confused with each
>    other is discussed at length in the Security Considerations section
>    of [RFC5890].

With the remarks made above, this is mostly irrelevant to the issue at hand.
What might be discussed here is the confusion of IP address literals
(v4 and v6, for that matter) with FQDNs and how the (clarified) section
of RFC1123 relates to this problem.

I do not feel right comfortable to "send text" for changes since basically
i believe the draft would need a completely different approach that
explains the non-normative nature of the "can never happen" remark.
If anyone shares this view i'd be happy to come up with a counter proposal.

Colleagues,

I think it's fair to say that the authors of this document feel a little ad=
rift with respect to direction for this work. If the DNS Directorate could =
give us some advice, that would be appreciated.

The current situation with respect to TLD label syntax is:

1. There is an ambiguous, existing specification in the IETF regarding TLD =
label syntax, in RFC1123. Even the description of this as a specification i=
s contentious, never mind the interpretation of the text. I believe it is r=
easonable to say that there is the potential for the text in 1123 to be int=
erpreted as a specification, however, even if we have no clear idea how wid=
espread that interpretation might be. Discussion of the existing "specifica=
tion" can be found in draft-liman-tld-names.

2. In practice, policy which incorporates syntax restrictions is developed =
at ICANN and implemented by the IANA. ICANN's policy products are constrain=
ed by technical specifications produced by the IETF.

3. The A-Label representation of IDN TLD labels is not consistent with the =
pre-IDN "specification" pseudo-described in 1123.

Since IDN TLD labels are deployed in the public DNS, (2) and (3) represent =
a potential conflict between what ICANN has deployed and what the IETF has =
specified. The ambiguity here has caused some discomfort, and that was one =
of the motivations for this work.

The document draft-liman-tld-names has not met with any particular enthusia=
sm in the places it has been circulated. The general consensus seems to be =
that of apathy. This might be fair enough; if the IETF doesn't want to invo=
lve itself in TLD policy, that seems fine, for example. But a clear stateme=
nt to that effect would be better than the sound of crickets.

I can see a few ways forward. No doubt there are others.

(a) do nothing

Leave the ambiguous specification in 1123, leave the question of whether th=
e IETF has an interest in constraining label syntax for TLDs open, and do n=
othing.

(b) a label is a label is a label

State clearly that there is no special restriction for TLD labels, distinct=
 from the protocol restrictions for any other label in the DNS tree; in oth=
er words, release any interest in TLD label syntax at the IETF, and defer i=
t all to ICANN.

I've heard this approach promoted by people in DNSOP. I expected to hear di=
ssent from the App area people, since the problem remains of how to disting=
uish between a literal IPv4 address and a domain name in the unlikely event=
 that a TLD exists that is syntactically a legal final component of an IPv4=
 address. But in Qu=E9bec those that did express an opinion seemed to say "=
this is ICANN's business, we don't care". But I'd be hard-pushed to identif=
y consensus in either venue.

(c) koch proposal

Formalise the "alphabetic" constraint for wire-format TLD labels, and exten=
d it specifically to permit "xn--" wire-format labels. This leaves it possi=
ble for TLD U-Labels to contain punctuation and digits (i.e. it retains the=
 alphabetic restriction for US-ASCII TLD labels, but does not impose one fo=
r IDNs).

(d) draft-liman-tld-names

As discussed (and reviewed exhaustively by Peter, many thanks for that) for=
malize the "alphabetic" constraint for US-ASCII and for IDNA2008 U-Labels (=
i.e. keep the restriction consistent for users who may not be aware of whet=
her they are typing, in effect, a U-Label or a US-ASCII label).

(e) something else

. . .

What does the DNS Directorate think about this? Thoughts, opinions?

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the thorough review.

I think we need some guidance at a higher-level for how (or if) to proceed =
with this work. I've sent a separate message to the DNS Directorate which p=
resumably someone will get around to approving from the non-members-post ma=
ilman queue at some point.

Until we identify the preferred direction here, I'll defer responding to th=
e points you raised below.

that's not quite what i had in mind, but since i only said what not so far,
let me clarify:  i do not see 'xn--' and the later '-' special in any case.
So, my proposal would be to clarify that the 'will always be alphabetic'
clause is, in hindsight, a wrong prediction and in any case should not be
read in a normative way.  This may or may not change the obligation of or advice
to teh implementor when they exercize the 'dotted quad' confusability checks.
Whether or not we can or should assume 'will never be digit only' instead,
is subject to debate, but history tells us we shouldn't make such broad assumptions.

Dan,

i've checked the drafts

for a few keywords.  draft-ietf-decade-survey-05 mentions the DNS a few
times, noting to worry about.

draft-ietf-softwire-dslite-radius-ext-04 has some nits/minor issues:

o In the introduction, AFTR should be expanded once, before first use

o I'm not too familiar with RADIUS folklore, so this might be obvious to
  others, but section 4 does not clearly state which format is used
  for DS-Lite-Tunnel-Name.  Section 5 later states that
  "The data type of DS-Lite-Tunnel-Name is a string", but earlier it is suggested
  that DS-Lite-Tunnel-Name be fed with the data obtained through DHCP in
  OPTION_AFTR_NAME, which is clarly in DNS wire format.  If this option
  uses text (presentation) format instead, it would need to say whether it's
  all ASCII (A-Label) or not (where it is unlikely amnybody intended to
  use U-Labels).
  The picture at the top of page 9 suggests the DS-Lite-Tunnel-Name
  has a fixed length (of 6 octets, for taht matter), so a more open ended
  graph as used in the RADIUS RFCs might be advised.

It's not merely "'dotted quad' confusability checks" we have to worry
about.

There are lots of protocol slots that can either take a domain name or
an IP address.  In the happy case of mail, we are relieved of the
burden because you are supposed to use [] around IP addresses.  But
everything else (including URIs, last I checked) can have raw IP
addresses.

Moreover, there is no requirement that the IP address be in a
dotted-anything notation.  Raw apparent integers work in at least some
contexts I have seen.

It is problems like this that set some people on edge.

I think the document should be pursued, and I think it should go on as
it currently does, on the quite correct grounds that whatever happens,
it is always possible to open the door wider later.  (It should
perhaps suggest to IDNA application implementers that they should not
rely on the restrictions to do validity checks, on the grounds that a
wider policy is always possible later.)

To me, this is only an effort to maximise interoperation and minimise
surprise, and therefore to say that the names are required to work
this way on the grounds of minimising such surprise.  Strictly
speaking, there is plenty of room for policy innovation here.  That
doesn't mean there are no potential technical implications.

Hi,

I just notice that in the registry for DNS Resource Types you do not =
really have any reference section. Just a reference to "me" in this case =
of the URI resource record type.

Is that correct (that you do not have the definitions), or is it me that =
fails in my clicking - karma?

My personal view is that the list at IANA should have pointers to the =
actual definitions.

No, the URI spec was not done via the RFC process, but the faster(?) =
review on the IETF dnsext mailing list etc.

Most of RFCs, as they should..

What is a better reference to insert here? IANA is always willing to
put in a proper reference... if it has one.

Most likely, IANA wasn't given a reference to point to when the expert
approved the assignment.

The problem is that there is a "template" that is to be filled out by =
the applicant (in this case me). That is vetted on the mailing list, and =
finally approved.

> Most likely, IANA wasn't given a reference to point to when the expert

I think the problem might then be that the vetted and approved template, =
as it is not an RFC, is not in the IETF a stable document. And because =
of that IANA has nothing to reference.

I suggest IANA in this case should have a repository with "whatever =
document they where sent" when the approval was made. As a kitchen sink. =
Then reference that in parallel with the references that they have =
already now.

I.e. in this specific case, I must say I thought IANA did have the =
vetted and approved template for the RR Type on the IANA website. But =
then I understand the reason why IANA does not have it might be because =
we (IETF) has not asked IANA to store it (things that are basis for =
parameter allocations that are not RFCs).

For your information, I have decided to NOT seek another term as
INT AD. Its been a wonderful experience for me, and I'd love to
continue, but after six years change is also good, for me, the
IESG, and the area. And I need new challenges. I plan to do other
things in the IETF, some technical work, more day job, etc.

This means that we need a new person to take over after next March.
Some of the best people to do that are on the To-line. Please
consider whether you would like to volunteer, or if you know
someone else who should volunteer. Please talk to the nomcom,
and ask me or Ralph if you have any questions about the job
itself.

this is the only one on the list with relevance to DNS as far as i can see.
The document is well written, but i have a concern regarding the repeated
use of the term "domain holder" throughout the document. In the introduction
it says

   With the advent of DNSSEC [RFC4033], it is now possible for DNS name
   resolution to provide its information securely, in the sense that
   clients can verify that DNS information was provided by the domain
   holder and not tampered with in transit. [...]

where the first conclusion simply isn't true.  All that DNSSEC provides
is data origin authentication with the origin being the DNS zone.
DNSSEC dos not help to identify the party applying or authorizing
entries into that zone.  Later on, section 3.3 correctly makes that
distinction:

   By the same token, this use case puts the most power in the hands of
   DNS operators.  Since the operator of the appropriate DNS zone has de
   facto control over the content and signing of the zone, he can create
   false DANE records that bind a malicious party's certificate to a
   domain.  This risk is especially important to keep in mind in cases
   where the operator of a DNS zone is a different entity than the
   holder of the domain, as in DNS hosting/outsourcing arrangements,
   since in these cases the DNS operator might be able to make changes
   to a domain that are not authorized by the holder of the domain.

However, it's not only a malicious operator that can interfere. Nowhere
does it say that the operator has specific duties to verify or validate
DANE information before entering data into the zone. Negligence or malice
don't make a difference.   The fact that the zone is DNSSEC signed does
not change that since the only meaning of the RRSIGs is that the zone
operator attests the data was present as signed.

Also "domain holder" is usually understood as equivalent to a registrant,
meaning someone who registered a 2nd (or 3rd, where applicable) domain
name.  It is not obvious how to apply this logic to nodes further down
the tree.

Description of Working Group
----------------------------

Javascript Object Notation (JSON) is a text format for the serialization

of structured data described in RFC 4627. The JSON format is often used=20
for serializing and transmitting structured data over a network=20
connection. With the increased usage of JSON in protocols in the IETF=20
and elsewhere, there is now a desire to offer security services such as=20
encryption, digital signatures, and message authentication codes (MACs)=20
for data that is being carried in JSON format.

Different proposals for providing such security services have already=20
been defined and implemented. This Working Group's task is to=20
standardize two security services, integrity protection (signature and=20
MAC) and encryption, in order to increase interoperability of security=20
features between protocols that use JSON.  The Working Group will base=20
its work on well-known message security primitives (e.g., CMS), and will

solicit input from the rest of the IETF Security Area to be sure that=20
the security functionality in the JSON format is correct.

This group is chartered to work on four documents:

1) A Standards Track document specifying how to apply JSON-structured=20
integrity protection to data, including (but not limited to) JSON data=20
structures.  "Integrity protection" includes public-key digital=20
signatures as well as symmetric-key MACs.

2) A Standards Track document specifying how to apply a JSON-structured=20
encryption to data, including (but not limited to) JSON data structures.

3) A Standards Track document specifying how to encode public keys as=20
JSON-structured objects.

4) A Standards Track document specifying mandatory-to-implement=20
algorithms for the other three documents.

The working group may decide to address one or more of these goals in a=20
single document, in which case the concrete milestones for=20
signing/encryption below will both be satisfied by the single document.

Goals and Milestones

Description of Working Group:

The L2VPN working group is responsible for defining and specifying a
limited number of solutions for supporting provider-provisioned Layer-2
Virtual Private Networks (L2VPNs). It will also address requirements=20
driven by cloud computing services and data centers as they apply to=20
Layer-2 VPN services.

Layer-2 VPNs defined by L2VPN operate over pseudowires (PWs) as
defined by the PWE3 WG or over IP or MPLS PSN tunnels. A L2VPN
emulates a "native" service over a PSN that is adequately faithful
to, but may not be entirely indistinguishable from the native
service itself. Further, following in the "edge-to-edge" nature
of the  service, the L2VPN WG will not define any mechanisms
which exert control over the underlying PSN. When necessary it
may, however, recommend or require the use of existing PSN QoS
and path control mechanisms between the PEs which provide the
L2VPN connectivity.

Layer-2 VPNs comprise the following:

1. Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) -- A Layer-2 service
that emulates a switched Ethernet (V)LAN across a PSN.

2. Virtual Private Wire Service (VPWS) -- A Layer-2 service that
provides point-to-point connectivity for a variety of link layers,
including Frame Relay, ATM, Ethernet, PPP, etc., across a PSN.

3. Virtual Private Multicast Service (VPMS) -- A Layer-2 service that
provides point-to-multipoint connectivity for a variety of link
layers across a PSN.

4. IP-only L2VPN, an IP-only service over a PSN.  The WG will address
two specific types of IP-only L2VPN:

a) Point-to-point Layer-2 VPN.  This service is similar to VPWS, but=20
also supports heterogenous Attachment Circuits at either end
of a single point-to-point service.

b) Multipoint-to-multipoint Layer-2 VPN.  This service is similar
to VPLS, but learns IP and MAC address bindings from ARPs and
broadcast/multicast IP packets.

5. Ethernet VPN (E-VPN) - An enhanced Layer-2 service that
emulates an Ethernet (V)LAN across a PSN. E-VPN supports
load-sharing across multiple connections from a Layer-2 site
to an L2VPN service. E-VPN is primarily targeted to support
large-scale L2VPNs with resiliency requirements not satisfied
by other L2VPN solutions.

6. E-Tree, a Layer-2 service defined by the MEF, which provides
connectivity between one or more root nodes and one or more leaf
nodes, with the restriction that leaf nodes may only communicate
with root node(s) (and not with each other).

L2VPNs will make use of existing IETF specified mechanisms
unless there are technical reasons why the existing mechanisms
are insufficient or unnecessary.

The L2VPN WG is responsible for specification of the
discovery and membership of PEs participating in a Layer-2
VPN as well as the membership of CE devices for a specific
instance of an L2VPN.

The L2VPN WG will provide extensions of existing protocols
that will be discussed in protocol-specific WGs. In
particular, the L2VPN WG may define extensions to pseudowire
management mechanisms for VPLS. Those extensions will
be reviewed by the PWE3 WG to ensure they are aligned
with the overall design/architecture of PWE3.

The L2VPN WG will not define new encapsulations, control,
or resiliency mechanisms specifically related to pseudowires.=20
Furthermore, when the L2VPN solution is based on PWs, the
L2VPN WG will not define protocol inter-working between
an L2VPN and native service Layer-2 OAM or resiliency
mechanisms. The L2VPN WG may define how to operate native
service-layer control, OAM or resiliency mechanisms on
top of an L2VPN. In addition, it may define native data
plane and/or control plane interworking between an
L2VPN and an associated native Layer-2 service.


The L2VPN WG scope includes the following:

1. Discovery of PEs participating in a Layer-2 VPN and the
associated topology required for connectivity of the VPLS,
VPWS, VPMS or E-VPN service.

2. Signaling of information related to the discovery and
membership of PEs within a L2VPN. These procedures must
use PWE3 control and management procedures, or define
requirements for extensions of PWE3 protocols to suit
the needs of an L2VPN, when the L2VPN operates over PWs.
Once those requirements have been reviewed by the L2VPN WG,
they should be provided to the PWE3 WG to derive solutions.

3. MIBs for Layer-2 VPN solutions.

4. Specification of requirements, framework and solutions
that facilitate Operations Administration and Management
(OAM) of any type of L2VPN within the scope of the L2VPN
Working Group.

5. Mechanisms to permit optimization of multicast data
traffic within an L2VPN.

6. If transport does not involve PWs, mechanisms that
support load-balancing/multi-pathing between PEs
interconnecting a Layer-2 service using an L2VPN across
the PSN.

7. requirements for the multi-homing of CEs to several
VPLS or E-VPN PEs, inclusive of active/backup and active/
active (load-sharing) configurations. Based on these
requirements define VPLS or E-VPN control plane
solutions for achieving fast convergence after failure
of an active path in the PSN or on the AC side.

8. Enhancements to increase the scalability of the Control
Plane and Data Plane of L2VPN PE nodes, and of core nodes
that provide transport services for L2VPN.

9. Requirements and solutions for Auto-Discovery and
Signaling of Inter-AS L2VPNs, in addition to Inter-AS
solutions for multicast-optimized L2VPNs.

10. Requirements and solutions for supporting "E-Tree"
services using VPLS.
