The IESG has received a request from the Pseudowire And LDP-enabled Services WG (pals) to consider the following document: - 'Dual-Homing Coordination for MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) Pseudowires Protection' <draft-ietf-pals-mpls-tp-dual-homing-coordination-05.txt> as Proposed Standard 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 In some scenarios, MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) Pseudowires (PWs) (RFC 5921) may be statically configured (management plane based), when a dynamic control plane is not available. A fast protection mechanism for MPLS-TP PWs is needed to protect against the failure of an Attachment Circuit (AC), the failure of a Provider Edge (PE), or a failure in the Packet Switched Network (PSN). The framework and typical scenarios of dual-homing PW local protection are described in [draft-ietf-pals-mpls-tp-dual-homing-protection]. This document proposes a dual-homing coordination mechanism for MPLS-TP PWs, which is used for state exchange and switchover coordination between the dual-homing PEs for dual-homing PW local protection.

See RFC 3967 for additional information: rfc5921: A Framework for MPLS in Transport Networks (Informational - IETF stream) Note that some of these references may already be listed in the acceptable Downref Registry.
