Abstract:
The MPLS Generic Associated Channel (G-ACh) is a generalization of
the applicability of the Pseudowire (PW) Associated Channel Header
(ACH). RFC 5586 defines the concept of Type-Length-Variable (TLV)
constructs that can be carried in messages on the G-ACh by placing
them in the ACH.
No Associated Channel Type yet defined uses a TLV. Furthermore, it
is believed that handling TLVs in hardware introduces significant
problems to the fast-path, and since G-ACh messages are intended to
be processed substantially in hardware, the use of TLVs in
undesirable.
This document updates RFC 5586 by retiring ACH TLVs and removing the
associated registry.
