Abstract:
This document specifies a mechanism to signal Pseudowire (PW) status messages
using a PW associated channel (ACh). Such a mechanism is suitable for use where no
PW dynamic control plane exits, known as static PWs, or where a Terminating Provider Edge
(T-PE) needs to send a PW status message directly to a far-end T-PE. The mechanism
allows PW Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) message mapping and PW redundancy to operate on
static PWs. This document also updates RFC 5885 in the case when Bi-directional
Forwarding Detection (BFD) is used to convey PW status-signaling information. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
