Jounay, Ed., Y. Kamite, Ed., G. Heron, M. Bocci Status: Informational Stream: IETF Date: September 2014 Mailbox: frederic.jounay@orange.ch, y.kamite@ntt.com, giheron@cisco.com, Matthew.Bocci@alcatel-lucent.com Pages: 18 Characters: 36120 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-pwe3-p2mp-pw-requirements-10.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7338.txt This document presents a set of requirements and a framework for providing a point-to-multipoint pseudowire (PW) over MPLS Packet Switched Networks. 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). This document is a product of the Pseudowire Emulation Edge to Edge Working Group of the IETF. INFORMATIONAL: This memo provides information for the Internet community.
