Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   This document specifies a mechanism to signal Pseudowire (PW) status
   messages using an PW associated channel (ACh). Such a mechanism is
   suitable for use where no PW dynamic control plane exits, known as
   static PWs, or where a Terminating Provider Edge (T-PE) needs to send
   a PW status message directly to a far end T-PE. The mechanism allows
   PW OAM message mapping and PW redundancy to operate on static PWs.
   This document also updates rfc5885 in the case when Bi-directional
   Forwarding Detection (BFD) is used to convey PW status signaling
   information.

Working Group Summary

This document represents the consensus of the working group.
It is a part of the MPLS-TP project in the IETF.

Document Quality

It is required for the use of pseudowires for statically
provisioned MPLS-TP, and thus is expected to be widely implemented and
deployed. There are no concerns regarding the document's quality.

Personnel

Andy Malis is the Document Shepherd for this document.
Stewart Bryant is the Responsible Area Director.
