The IESG has received a request from the Pseudowire And LDP-enabled
Services WG (pals) to consider the following document:
- 'Pseudowire Setup and Maintenance using the Label Distribution
Protocol'
<draft-ietf-pals-rfc4447bis-05.txt> as Internet 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 2016-09-21. 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

Layer 2 services (such as Frame Relay, Asynchronous Transfer Mode,
and Ethernet) can be "emulated" over an MPLS backbone by
encapsulating the Layer 2 Protocol Data Units (PDU) and then
transmitting them over "pseudowires". It is also possible to use
pseudowires to provide low-rate Time Division Multiplexed and
Synchronous Optical NETworking circuit emulation over an MPLS-enabled
network. This document specifies a protocol for establishing and
maintaining the pseudowires, using extensions to the Label
Distribution Protocol (LDP). Procedures for encapsulating Layer 2
PDUs are specified in a set of companion documents.

This document has been written to address errata in a previous
version of this standard.
