Pseudowire signaling requires that the Pseudowire Type (PW Type) be
identical in both directions.  For certain applications the
configuration of the PW Type is most easily accomplished by
configuring this information at just one PW endpoint.  In any form of
LDP-based signaling, each PW endpoint must initiate the creation of a
unidirectional LSP.  In order to allow the initiation of these two
LSPs to remain independent, a means is needed for allowing the PW endpoint
(lacking a priori knowledge of the PW Type) to initiate the creation of
an LSP.  This document defines a Wildcard PW Type to
satisfy this need.  [STANDARDS TRACK]
