The IESG has approved the following document: - 'PWE3 Frame Check Sequence Retention ' <draft-ietf-pwe3-fcs-retention-04.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-fcs-retention-04.txt Technical Summary The PWE3 encapsulation specifications for Ethernet, Frame Relay, and HDLC pseudowires Ethernet, Frame Relay, and HDLC pseudowires require that the original Frame Check Sequence (FCS) be removed at pseudowire ingress and regenerated at pseudowire egress. This document defines an optinal mechanism for preserving frame FCS and transporting it over the pseudowire. Working Group Summary The PWE3 WG have thoroughly reviewed this design. There are mixed opinions in the PWE3 WG on how beneficial this option is. Protocol Quality This is a simple modification to a well known encapsulation and the associated signalling protocol. The document was reviewed by Mark Townsley. Note to RFC Editor Please expand the following terms when used first in section 5.
