Segmented Pseudowire
RFC 6073, “Segmented Pseudowire”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2011 by L. Martini, C. Metz, T. Nadeau, M. Bocci, M. Aissaoui. It has since been updated by RFC 6723, RFC 7267. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes how to connect pseudowires (PWs) between different Packet Switched Network (PSN) domains or between two or more distinct PW control plane domains, where a control plane domain uses a common control plane protocol or instance of that protocol for a given PW. The different PW control plane domains may belong to independent autonomous systems, or the PSN technology is heterogeneous, or a PW might need to be aggregated at a specific PSN point. The PW packet data units are simply switched from one PW to another without changing the PW payload. [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.
