Introduction This document defines an extension to the PWE3 control protocol [RFC4447] and PWE3 IANA allocations [RFC4446] required for the setup of TDM pseudowires in MPLS networks. Structure-agnostic TDM pseudowires have been specified in [RFC4553], and structure-aware ones have been specified in [RFC5086] and [RFC5087]. [RFC4447] defines extensions to the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) [RFC5036] that are required to exchange PW labels for PWs emulating various Layer 2 services (Ethernet, Frame Relay (FR), Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC), etc.). The setup of TDM PWs requires both interpretation of the existing information elements of these extensions and exchange of additional information. The setup of TDM PWs using L2TPv3 will be defined in a separate document. The status of attachment circuits of TDM PWs can be exchanged between the terminating Provider Edges (PEs) using the PW Status mechanism defined in [RFC4447] without any changes. However, usage of this mechanism is NOT RECOMMENDED for TDM PWs since the indication of the status of the TDM attachment circuits is carried in-band in the data plane. The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. 2. PW FEC for Setup of TDM PWs [RFC4447] uses the LDP Label Mapping message [RFC5036] for advertising the FEC-to-PW Label binding, and defines two types of PW Forwarding Equivalence Classes (FECs) that can be used for this purpose: 1. PWId FEC (FEC 128). This FEC contains: a) PW type b) Control bit (indicates presence of the control word) c) Group ID d) PW ID Vainshtein & Stein Standards Track [Page 2] RFC 5287 Control Protocol Extensions for TDM Pseudowires August 2008 e) Interface parameters Sub-TLV 2. Generalized PW FEC (FEC 129). This FEC contains only: a) PW type b) Control bit c) Attachment Group Identifier (AGI), Source Attachment IndividualShow full document text
