Requirements and Framework for Point-to-Multipoint Pseudowires over MPLS Packet Switched Networks
RFC 7338, “Requirements and Framework for Point-to-Multipoint Pseudowires over MPLS Packet Switched Networks”, is an Informational document published in September 2014 by F. Jounay, Y. Kamite, G. Heron, M. Bocci. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document presents a set of requirements and a framework for providing a point-to-multipoint pseudowire (PW) over MPLS Packet Switched Networks. The requirements identified in this document are related to architecture, signaling, and maintenance aspects of point-to-multipoint PW operation. They are proposed as guidelines for the standardization of such mechanisms. Among other potential applications, point-to-multipoint PWs can be used to optimize the support of multicast Layer 2 services (Virtual Private LAN Service and Virtual Private Multicast Service).
