Packet Pseudowire Encapsulation over an MPLS PSN
RFC 6658, “Packet Pseudowire Encapsulation over an MPLS PSN”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2012 by S. Bryant, L. Martini, G. Swallow, A. Malis. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes a pseudowire mechanism that is used to transport a packet service over an MPLS PSN in the case where the client Label Switching Router (LSR) and the server Provider Edge equipments are co-resident in the same equipment. This pseudowire mechanism may be used to carry all of the required layer 2 and layer 3 protocols between the pair of client LSRs. [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.
