The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Pseudowire Redundancy on S-PE' (draft-ietf-pals-redundancy-spe-03.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Pseudowire And LDP-enabled Services Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Alia Atlas and Deborah Brungard. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pals-redundancy-spe/ Technical Summary This document describes Multi-Segment Pseudowire (MS-PW) protection scenarios in which the pseudowire redundancy is provided on the Switching-PE (S-PE). Operations of the S-PEs which provide PW redundancy are specified in this document. Signaling of the preferential forwarding status as defined in [RFC 6870] is reused. This document does not require any change to the T-PEs of MS-PW. Working Group Summary There was nothing particularly unusual in the progress of the draft. The document originated in the PWE3 working group and moved to the PALS working group when PWE3 was concluded in November 2014. The primary discussion in PWE3 was around clarification of the new procedures at the S-PE. Document Quality There are multiple implementations of PW redundancy, based on RFC6718 and RFC6870. This document reuses the procedures in those RFCs in the context of an S-PE. The document has also been widely reviewed by the original authors and contributors to those RFCs. I do not have any concerns with the quality of the document. Personnel The Document Shepherd is Matthew Bocci (matthew.bocci@alcatel-lucent.com) The Responsible Area Director is Deborah Brungard (db3546@att.com)
