The IESG has approved the following document: - 'PWE3 Control Word for use over an MPLS PSN ' <draft-ietf-pwe3-cw-06.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Pseudo Wire Emulation Edge to Edge Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Mark Townsley and Margaret Wasserman. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-pwe3-cw-06.txt - Technical Summary This document describes the preferred designs of the PWE3 MPLS Control Word, and the Pseudo Wire Associated Channel Header. The design of these fields is chosen so that an MPLS LSR performing MPLS payload inspection will not confuse a PWE3 payload with an IP payload. - Working Group Summary This work has been thoroughly analysed by the working group and there is consensus for the design. - Protocol Quality The PWE3 WG and AVT WG have abided by this design. This document places the reasons for this design on record as guidance for future MPLS payload designers. RFC Editor Note: Editor, please update the [RFC1883] to RFC 2460. RFC 2460 obsoletes RFC 1883. Please spell out the first use of "OAM." _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
