This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in the Internet community. In particular, it describes a MIB module for PW operation over Multi- Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switch Router (LSR).

"Definitions of Textual Conventions for Pseudowires (PW) Management", Thomas Nadeau, David Zelig, Orly Nicklass, 9-Jan-08. ( bytes)

This memo defines a Management Information Base (MIB) module which contains Textual Conventions (TCs) to represent commonly-used Pseudowire (PW) management information. The intent is that these TCs will be imported and used in PW-related MIB modules that would otherwise define their own representations.

"Ethernet Pseudowire (PW) Management Information Base (MIB)", David Zelig, Thomas Nadeau, 9-Jan-08. ( bytes)

This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in the Internet community. In particular, it describes managed objects for modeling of Ethernet Pseudowire (PW) services.

"Managed Objects for ATM over Packet Switched Network (PSN)", Thomas Nadeau, 29-Apr-08. ( bytes)

This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in the Internet community. In particular, it describes managed objects for modeling ATM Pseudowire (PW) carrying ATM cells over Packet Switch Network (PSN).

"Managed Objects for TDM over Packet Switched Network (PSN)", Orly Nicklass, 29-Apr-08. ( bytes)

This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in the Internet community. In particular, it describes managed objects for pseudo wire encapsulation for structured or unstructured TDM (T1, E1, T3, E3) circuits over a Packet Switch Network (PSN).

"Pseudo Wire (PW) OAM Message Mapping", Thomas Nadeau, 22-Feb-08. ( bytes)

This document specifies the mapping of defect states between a Pseudo Wire and the Attachment Circuits (AC) of the end-to-end emulated service. This document covers the case whereby the ACs and the PWs are of the same type in accordance to the PWE3 architecture [RFC3985] such that a homogenous PW service can be constructed.

"Requirements for Multi-Segment Pseudowire Emulation Edge-to-Edge (PWE3)", Matthew Bocci, Luca Martini, 17-Dec-07. ( bytes)

This document describes the necessary requirements to allow a service provider to extend the reach of pseudowires across multiple domains. These domains can be autonomous systems under one provider administrative control, IGP areas in one autonomous system, different autonomous systems under the administrative control of two or more service providers, or administratively established pseudowire domains.

"Segmented Pseudo Wire", Luca Martini, 25-Feb-08. ( bytes)

This document describes how to connect pseudo wires (PW) between two distinct PW control planes or PSN domains. The PW control planes may belong to independent autonomous systems, or the PSN technology is heterogeneous, or a PW might need to be aggregated at a specific PSN point. The PW packet data units are simply switched from one PW to another without changing the PW payload.

"Control Protocol Extensions for Setup of TDM Pseudowires in MPLS Networks", Sasha Vainshtein, Yaakov Stein, 20-Mar-08. ( bytes)

This document defines extension to the PWE3 control protocol [RFC4447] and PWE3 IANA allocations [RFC4446] required for setup of TDM pseudowires in MPLS networks.

"Dynamic Placement of Multi Segment Pseudo Wires", Florin Balus, 19-Nov-07. ( bytes)

There is a requirement for service providers to be able to extend the reach of pseudo wires (PW) across multiple Packet Switched Network domains. A Multi-Segment PW is defined as a set of two or more contiguous PW segments that behave and function as a single point- to-point PW. This document describes extensions to the PW control protocol to dynamically place the segments of the multi segment pseudo wire among a set of Provider Edge (PE) routers.

"Encapsulation Methods for Transport of Fibre Channel frames Over MPLS Networks", Moran Roth, 17-Jan-08. ( bytes)

A Fibre Channel pseudowire (PW) is used to carry Fibre Channel frames over an MPLS network. This enables service providers to offer "emulated" Fibre Channel services over existing MPLS networks. This document specifies the encapsulation of Fibre Channel PDUs within a pseudowire. It also specifies the procedures for using a PW to provide a Fibre Channel service.

"Application of Ethernet Pseudowires to MPLS Transport Networks", Stewart Bryant, Monique Morrow, George Swallow, Thomas Nadeau, Neil Harrison, 7-Feb-08. ( bytes)

A requirement has been identified by the operator community for the transparent carriage of the MPLS network of one party over the MPLS network of another party. This document describes an IETF- recommended method of satisfying this need using the existing RFC4448 PWE3 Ethernet pseudowire standard.

"Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) for the Pseudowire Virtual Circuit Connectivity Verification (VCCV)", Thomas Nadeau, Carlos Pignataro, 25-Feb-08. ( bytes)

This document describes new Connectivity Verification (CV) types using Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) with Virtual Circuit Connectivity Verification (VCCV). VCCV provides a control channel that is associated with a Pseudowire (PW), as well as the corresponding operations and management functions such as connectivity verification to be used over that control channel.

"Preferential Forwarding Status bit definition", Praveen Muley, Mustapha Aissaoui, Matthew Bocci, Pranjal Dutta, Marc Lasserre, 25-Feb-08. ( bytes)

This document describes a mechanism for standby status signaling of redundant PWs between their termination points. A set of redundant PWs is configured between PE nodes in SS-PW applications, or between T-PE nodes in MS-PW applications. In order for the PE/T-PE nodes to indicate the preferred PW path to forward to one another, a new status bit is needed to indicate a preferential forwarding status of active or standby for each PW in the redundancy set. In addition, a second status bit is defined to allow peer PE/T-PE nodes to coordinate a switchover operation of the PW/MS-PW path.

"Pseudowire (PW) Redundancy", Praveen Muley, Matthew Bocci, 28-Mar-08. ( bytes)

This document describes a framework comprised of few scenarios and associated requirements where PW redundancy is needed. A set of redundant PWs is configured between PE nodes in SS-PW applications, or between T-PE nodes in MS-PW applications. In order for the PE/T-PE nodes to indicate the preferred PW path to forward to one another, a new status is needed to indicate the preferential forwarding status of active or standby for each PW in the redundancy set.
