The IESG has received a request from the Pseudowire And LDP-enabled Services WG (pals) to consider the following document: - 'MPLS LSP PW status refresh reduction for Static Pseudowires' <draft-ietf-pals-status-reduction-04.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 2017-03-31. 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 method for generating an aggregated pseudowire status message transmitted on a Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Path (LSP) to indicate the status of one or more pseudowires carried on the LSP. The method for transmitting the pseudowire (PW) status information is not new, however this protocol extension allows a Service Provider (SP) to reliably monitor the individual PW status while not overwhelming the network with multiple periodic status messages. This is achieved by sending a single cumulative summary status verification message for all the PWs grouped in the same LSP.
