The IESG has received a request from the Pseudowire Emulation Edge to Edge WG (pwe3) to consider the following document: - 'Explicit Path Routing for Dynamic Multi-Segment Pseudowires' <draft-ietf-pwe3-mspw-er-05.txt> as 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 2014-08-22. 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 Dynamic Multi-Segment Pseudowire (MS-PW) setup through an explicit path may be required to provide a simple solution for 1:1 protection with diverse primary and backup MS-PWs for a service, or to enable controlled signaling (strict or loose) for special MS-PWs. This document specifies the extensions and procedures required to enable dynamic MS-PWs to be established along explicit paths. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pwe3-mspw-er/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pwe3-mspw-er/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
