Bidirectional Forwarding Detection for the Pseudowire Virtual Circuit Connectivity Verification
RFC 5885, “Bidirectional Forwarding Detection for the Pseudowire Virtual Circuit Connectivity Verification”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2010 by T. Nadeau, C. Pignataro. It has since been updated by RFC 6478, RFC 7885. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes Connectivity Verification (CV) Types using Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) with Virtual Circuit Connectivity Verification (VCCV). VCCV provides a control channel that is associated with a pseudowire (PW), as well as the corresponding operations and management functions such as connectivity verification to be used over that control channel. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
