A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 8024 Title: Multi-Chassis Passive Optical Network (MC-PON) Protection in MPLS Author: Y. Jiang, Ed., Y. Luo, E. Mallette, Ed., Y. Shen, W. Cheng Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: November 2016 Mailbox: jiangyuanlong@huawei.com, dennis.luoyong@huawei.com, edwin.mallette@gmail.com, yshen@juniper.net, chengweiqiang@chinamobile.com Pages: 16 Characters: 33671 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-pals-mc-pon-05.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8024 DOI: 10.17487/RFC8024 Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is being extended to the edge of operator networks including the network access nodes. Separately, network access nodes such as Passive Optical Network (PON) Optical Line Terminations (OLTs) have evolved to support first-mile access protection, where one or more physical OLTs provide first-mile diversity to the customer edge. Multihoming support is needed on the MPLS-enabled PON OLT to provide resiliency for provided services. This document describes the Multi-Chassis PON (MC-PON) protection architecture in MPLS and also specifies the Inter-Chassis Communication Protocol (ICCP) extension to support it. This document is a product of the Pseudowire And LDP-enabled Services Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the standardization state and status of this protocol.
