The IESG has approved the following document: - 'ForCES Protocol Extensions' (draft-ietf-forces-protoextension-06.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Forwarding and Control Element Separation Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Adrian Farrel and Alia Atlas. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-forces-protoextension/ Technical Summary Experience in implementing and deploying ForCES architecture has demonstrated need for a few small extensions both to ease programmability and to improve wire efficiency of some transactions. This documents updates both RFC 5810 and RFC 7121 semantics to achieve that end goal. Working Group Summary The extensions are straightforward, and there was no difficulty in coming to consensus on all points described. There were suggested extensions for earlier versions of the document that were not included based on discussions in the WG for the sake of simplicity. We believe the working group is solidly behind this document. Document Quality At least one implementation has validated some of the features described in the document. Personnel Evangelos Haleplidis is the document shepherd Adrian Farrel is the Responsible Area Director
