Abstract


   In some scenarios, MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) Pseudowires (PWs)
   (RFC 5921) may be statically configured (management plane based),
   when a dynamic control plane is not available.  A fast protection
   mechanism for MPLS-TP PWs is needed to protect against the failure of
   an Attachment Circuit (AC), the failure of a Provider Edge (PE), or a
   failure in the Packet Switched Network (PSN).  The framework and
   typical scenarios of dual-homing PW local protection are described in
   [draft-ietf-pals-mpls-tp-dual-homing-protection].  This document
   proposes a dual-homing coordination mechanism for MPLS-TP PWs, which
   is used for state exchange and switchover coordination between the
   dual-homing PEs for dual-homing PW local protection.
