Re: [Pals] Two outstanding PALS milestones

Andy, Stewart and all,
IMHO  & FWIW resurrecting the solution that improves handling of multicast and broadcast traffic by LDP-VPLS would be wrong since solutions based on EVPN (RFC 7432) look preferable these days.
My guess is that this was the reason why the authors of the relevant draft have not refreshed it for the last 3 years - would be nice to hear from them directly, of course.

As for VPLS for DC - EVPN (again) looks like the predominant technology in this domain as well.

PALS WG,

As you may have seen in the WG email, Stewart and I just cleaned up the PALS WG milestones. We have two outstanding milestones in the charter, one with a corresponding now-expired draft:

- Submit L2VPN applicability statement for data center applications to the IESG

- Submit LDP-VPLS for Ethernet Broadcast and Multicast to the IESG
with https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-pals-ldp-vpls-broadcast-exten-01

Is there any interest in the WG in reviving either of these?

If not, we will remove them from the charter page.

If there is, please let Stewart and me know, and we'll invite drafts on the topics.

Thanks,
Andy and Stewart
