The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) for the Pseudowire Virtual Circuit Connectivity Verification (VCCV) ' <draft-ietf-pwe3-vccv-bfd-07.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Pseudowire Emulation Edge to Edge Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Ralph Droms and Jari Arkko. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-pwe3-vccv-bfd-07.txt Technical Summary This document describes new Connectivity Verification (CV) types using Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) with Virtual Circuit Connectivity Verification (VCCV). VCCV provides a control channel that is associated with a Pseudowire (PW), as well as the corresponding operations and management functions such as connectivity verification to be used over that control channel. Working Group Summary The draft originated as a part of the VCCV work, originally being developed as a part of draft-ietf-pwe3-vccv. The VCCV-BFD text was then split out from that draft (which later became RFC5085). The proposed protocol in draft-ietf-pwe3-vccv-bfd-05.txt has therefore been widely reviewed over a long period by many experts in PWE3. A number reviewers were also apponited by the WG chairs during the WG last call process. Document Quality There are no concerns about protocol quality. There are understood to be implementations of this protocol.
