This document describes the application of multi-segment pseudowires
(MS-PWs) in a dual-technology environment comprising a Passive
Optical Network (PON) and a Packet Switched Network (PSN).

Static configuration of at least one PW segment is a typical case for
a MS-PW.  This is often one of the end segments and, in the case of
mobile backhaul, it is the segment closest to the aggregation device.
But, when MS-PW is implemented in a PON, there may be a very large
number of PW Terminating Provider Edge nodes (T-PEs).  This makes
static provisioning a heavy burden for the network manager.

Making use of a Gigabit-capable Passive Optical Network (GPON)
management protocol helps to reduce the labor of configuration,
simplify and speed up the PW provision procedure to a great extent,
and notify to switching Provider Edge node (S-PE) (which is the
Optical Line Termination node (OLT)) of the status of the AC at the
T-PE (which is the Optical Network Unit (ONU)).

This document describes how to end-to-end MPLS MS-PWs can be provided
through the integration of MPLS and GPON provisioning and control
protocols, and describes how the MPLS-PW can be carried by the link
layer of the GPON with penultimate hop popping (PHP).  This document
does not make any changes to the mechanisms for MPLS PWs.
