	Optimized Ingress Replication Solution for Ethernet VPN (EVPN)
	draft-ietf-bess-evpn-optimized-ir-12.txt   Date: 25/01/2022   Authors: Jorge Rabadan, Senthil Sathappan, Wen Lin, Mukul Katiyar, Ali Sajassi   Working Group: BGP Enabled ServiceS (bess)	Network Virtualization Overlay networks using Ethernet VPN (EVPN) as their control plane may use Ingress Replication or PIM (Protocol Independent Multicast)-based trees to convey the overlay Broadcast, Unknown unicast and Multicast (BUM) traffic. PIM provides an efficient solution to avoid sending multiple copies of the same packet over the same physical link, however it may not always be deployed in the Network Virtualization Overlay core network. Ingress Replication avoids the dependency on PIM in the Network Virtualization Overlay network core. While Ingress Replication provides a simple multicast transport, some Network Virtualization Overlay networks with demanding multicast applications require a more efficient solution without PIM in the core. This document describes a solution to optimize the efficiency of Ingress Replication trees.

	Alternative Elliptic Curve Representations
	draft-ietf-lwig-curve-representations-23.txt   Date: 21/01/2022   Authors: Rene Struik   Working Group: Individual Submissions (none)	This document specifies how to represent Montgomery curves and (twisted) Edwards curves as curves in short-Weierstrass form and illustrates how this can be used to carry out elliptic curve computations leveraging existing implementations and specifications of, e.g., ECDSA and ECDH using NIST prime curves. We also provide extensive background material that may be useful for implementers of elliptic curve cryptography.
