The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Dynamic Placement of Multi-Segment Pseudowires' (draft-ietf-pwe3-dynamic-ms-pw-22.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Pseudowire Emulation Edge to Edge Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Adrian Farrel and Alia Atlas. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pwe3-dynamic-ms-pw/ Technical Summary RFC5254 describes the service provider requirements for extending the reach of pseudowires (PW) across multiple Packet Switched Network domains. A Multi-Segment PW is defined as a set of two or more contiguous PW segments that behave and function as a single point- to-point PW. This document describes extensions to the PW control protocol to dynamically place the segments of the multi-segment pseudowire among a set of Provider Edge (PE) routers. This document also updates RFC6073 as follows: it updates the value of the length field of the PW Switching Point PE Sub-TLV Type 0x06 to 14. Working Group Summary The working group process was pretty straightforward, though sometimes a bit slow since it has been waiting for completion of other documents. Several individual proposals were intiially sent to the PWE3 group to suggest solutions to the Dynamic MS-PW space. The working group requested that they were merged into a single document. This document were accepted as a working group document. To the shepherd's knowledge, there is no dissent regarding the final version of thedocument. Document Quality The document is well reviewed and the shepherd has no concerns about the level of review. The working group mailing list has been polled about implementations of this draft. We know existing implementations of this draft, and we know of further vendors that has stated that they will implement the draft. We also have indications that the implementations have been deployed. Personnel Loa Andersson is the Document Shepherd Adrian Farrel is the Responsible AD RFC Editor Note The RFC editor will want to discuss with the document editors which names to include in the Authors' Addresses section
