Pseudowire Redundancy on the Switching Provider Edge
RFC 7795, “Pseudowire Redundancy on the Switching Provider Edge”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2016 by J. Dong, H. Wang. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes Multi-Segment Pseudowire (MS-PW) protection scenarios in which pseudowire redundancy is provided on the Switching Provider Edge (S-PE) as defined in RFC 5659. Operations of the S-PEs that provide PW redundancy are specified in this document. Signaling of the Preferential Forwarding status as defined in RFCs 6870 and 6478 is reused. This document does not require any change to the Terminating Provider Edges (T-PEs) of MS-PW.
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.
