Virtual Private Wire Service Support in Ethernet VPN
RFC 8214, “Virtual Private Wire Service Support in Ethernet VPN”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2017 by S. Boutros, A. Sajassi, S. Salam, J. Drake, J. Rabadan. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes how Ethernet VPN (EVPN) can be used to support the Virtual Private Wire Service (VPWS) in MPLS/IP networks. EVPN accomplishes the following for VPWS: provides Single-Active as well as All-Active multihoming with flow-based load-balancing, eliminates the need for Pseudowire (PW) signaling, and provides fast protection convergence upon node or link failure.
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.
