Dynamic Placement of Multi-Segment Pseudowires
RFC 7267, “Dynamic Placement of Multi-Segment Pseudowires”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2014 by L. Martini, M. Bocci, F. Balus. It updates RFC 6073. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
RFC 5254 describes the service provider requirements for extending the reach of pseudowires (PWs) across multiple Packet Switched Network domains. A multi-segment PW is defined as a set of two or more contiguous PW segments that behave and function as a single point-to-point PW. This document describes extensions to the PW control protocol to dynamically place the segments of the multi-segment pseudowire among a set of Provider Edge (PE) routers. This document also updates RFC 6073 by updating the value of the Length field of the PW Switching Point PE Sub-TLV Type 0x06 to 14.
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.
