The IESG has received a request from the Pseudowire Emulation Edge to Edge WG (pwe3) to consider the following document: - 'Requirements and Framework for Point-to-Multipoint Pseudowires over MPLS PSNs' <draft-ietf-pwe3-p2mp-pw-requirements-07.txt> as Informational RFC 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 2014-03-27. 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 presents a set of requirements and a framework for providing a Point-to-Multipoint Pseudowire (PW) over MPLS PSNs. The requirements identified in this document are related to architecture, signaling and maintenance aspects of Point-to-Multipoint PW operation. They are proposed as guidelines for the standardization of such mechanisms. Among other potential applications, Point-to- Multipoint PWs can be used to optimize the support of multicast layer 2 services (Virtual Private LAN Service and Virtual Private Multicast Service) as defined in the Layer 2 Virtual Private Network Working Group.
