Due to technical changes made during AUTH48, the IESG is issuing an additional Last Call on the following document: - 'Pseudowire Status for Static Pseudowires' <draft-ietf-pwe3-static-pw-status-10.txt> as a Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-04-30. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document specifies a mechanism to signal Pseudowire (PW) status messages using an PW associated channel (ACh). Such a mechanism is suitable for use where no PW dynamic control plane exits, known as static PWs, or where a Terminating Provider Edge (T-PE) needs to send a PW status message directly to a far end T-PE. The mechanism allows PW OAM message mapping and PW redundancy to operate on static PWs. This document also updates rfc5885 in the case when Bi-directional Forwarding Detection (BFD) is used to convey PW status signaling information. The file can be obtained via http://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc6478.txt/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pwe3-static-pw-status/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
