A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 5659 Title: An Architecture for Multi-Segment Pseudowire Emulation Edge-to-Edge Author: M. Bocci, S. Bryant Status: Informational Date: October 2009 Mailbox: matthew.bocci@alcatel-lucent.com, stbryant@cisco.com Pages: 24 Characters: 55614 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-pwe3-ms-pw-arch-07.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5659.txt This document describes an architecture for extending pseudowire emulation across multiple packet switched network (PSN) segments. Scenarios are discussed where each segment of a given edge-to-edge emulated service spans a different provider's PSN, as are other scenarios where the emulated service originates and terminates on the same provider's PSN, but may pass through several PSN tunnel segments in that PSN. It presents an architectural framework for such multi-segment pseudowires, defines terminology, and specifies the various protocol elements and their functions.
