The pseudo wire switching [6] draft describes how a Pseudowire can
span across multiple PSN domains. This multi-segment PW (MS-PW)
threads through one or more PEs that are not the endpoints of the PW
and are called switching PE (S-PE). The switching PE at each hop is
configured a-priori with two single hops PW information that enables
it to conduct splicing between the two. The configuration of such
information at each S-PE for possibly thousands of MS-PWs is
cumbersome. We describe a mechanism whereby a S-PE can identify and
process the PW control signaling with the information present in the
signaling message in a manner that eliminates the requirement to
configure PW splicing information. In this mechanism source PE
inserts information about the destination PE and the PW endpoint that
is recognized by the receiving PE to identify his role as a switching
PE and engage in propagating the PW signal towards the destination
PE.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
