Media Access Control Address Withdrawal over Static Pseudowire
RFC 7769, “Media Access Control Address Withdrawal over Static Pseudowire”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2016 by S. Sivabalan, S. Boutros, H. Shah, S. Aldrin, M. Venkatesan. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies a mechanism to signal Media Access Control (MAC) address withdrawal notification using a pseudowire (PW) Associated Channel (ACH). Such notification is useful when statically provisioned PWs are deployed in a Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) or Hierarchical Virtual Private LAN Service (H-VPLS) environment.
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.
