Hi there,

As we know, ICCP provides us an extendable protocol for PE redundancy. We have submitted two drafts to introduce two new applications into ICCP. Welcome your comments.

STP Application of ICCP, http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-zhang-pwe3-iccp-stp-00
   In this document, the PEs in a Redundant Group (RG) running ICCP are
   used to offer multi-homed connectivity to Spanning Tree Protocol
   (STP) networks. The ICCP TLVs for the STP application are defined,
   therefore PEs from the RG can make use of these TLVs to synchronize
   the state and configuration data.

ICCP Application TLVs for VPN Route Label Sharing, http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-zhang-pwe3-iccp-label-sharing-00
   This document defines TLVs under Inter-Chassis Communication Protocol
   (ICCP) to include a new application: Label Sharing for Fast PE
   Protection. Egress PEs in the same Redundant Group utilize the ICCP
   connection to negotiate the "VPN route label" and the "BGP next hop"
   for each VPN.

Thanks,
Mingui
