The IESG has received a request from the Pseudowire And LDP-enabled Services WG (pals) to consider the following document: - 'Dual-Homing Protection for MPLS and MPLS-TP Pseudowires' <draft-ietf-pals-mpls-tp-dual-homing-protection-05.txt> as Informational RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2017-02-13. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document describes a framework and several scenarios for a Pseudowire (PW) dual-homing local protection mechanism which avoids unnecessary switchovers and which can be used for scenarios using a control plane or not using a control plane. A Dual-Node Interconnection (DNI) PW is used for carrying traffic between the dual-homing Provider Edge (PE) nodes for carrying traffic when a failure occurs in one of the Attachment Circuits (AC) or PWs. This PW dual-homing local protection mechanism is complementary to existing PW protection mechanisms.
