Pseudowire Status for Static Pseudowires
RFC 6478, “Pseudowire Status for Static Pseudowires”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2012 by L. Martini, G. Swallow, G. Heron, M. Bocci. It updates RFC 5885. It has since been updated by RFC 7274. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies a mechanism to signal Pseudowire (PW) status messages using a PW associated channel (ACh). Such a mechanism is suitable for use where no PW dynamic control plane exits, known as static PWs, or where a Terminating Provider Edge (T-PE) needs to send a PW status message directly to a far-end T-PE. The mechanism allows PW Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) message mapping and PW redundancy to operate on static PWs. This document also updates RFC 5885 in the case when Bi-directional Forwarding Detection (BFD) is used to convey PW status-signaling information. [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.
