Using the Generic Associated Channel Label for Pseudowire in the MPLS Transport Profile
RFC 6423, “Using the Generic Associated Channel Label for Pseudowire in the MPLS Transport Profile”, is a Proposed Standard document published in November 2011 by H. Li, L. Martini, J. He, F. Huang. It updates RFC 5586. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes the requirements for using the Generic Associated Channel Label (GAL) in pseudowires (PWs) in MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) networks, and provides an update to the description of GAL usage in RFC 5586 by removing the restriction that is imposed on using GAL for PWs, especially in MPLS-TP environments. [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.
