This document describes a mechanism for standby status signaling of 
redundant pseudowires (PWs) between their termination points. A set 
of redundant PWs is configured between provider edge (PE) nodes in 
single-segment pseudowire (SS-PW) applications, or between 
terminating provider edge (T-PE) nodes in multi-segment pseudowire 
(MS-PW) applications.  

In order for the PE/T-PE nodes to indicate the preferred PW to use 
for forwarding PW packets to one another, a new status bit is needed 
to indicate a preferential forwarding status of active or standby for 
each PW in a redundant set.  

In addition, a second status bit is defined to allow peer PE nodes to 
coordinate a switchover operation of the PW.
