Signaling Root-Initiated Point-to-Multipoint Pseudowire Using LDP
RFC 8338, “Signaling Root-Initiated Point-to-Multipoint Pseudowire Using LDP”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2018 by S. Boutros, S. Sivabalan. It updates RFC 7385. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies a mechanism to signal Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP) Pseudowire (PW) trees using LDP. Such a mechanism is suitable for any Layer 2 VPN service requiring P2MP connectivity over an IP or MPLS-enabled PSN. A P2MP PW established via the proposed mechanism is root initiated. This document updates RFC 7385 by reassigning the reserved value 0xFF to be the wildcard transport tunnel type.
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.
