[mpls-tp] Query regarding draft-ietf-mpls-tp-linear-protection-01

[Mukund Mani <[e-mail]>]

Hi Yaacov

Have a small question w.r.t draft "*draft-ietf-mpls-tp-linear-protection-01".
*

Wanted to know if this draft applies for Pseudowires as well.. Will the same
PSC mechanism be used for PseudoWire protection switching also...?

There are some drafts eg"draft-ietf-pwe3-redundancy-03" in the PWE3 group
which talk about PW protection.

Quoting the Survivability Framewrok which specifies the following:

   Pseudowires provide end-to-end connectivity over the MPLS-TP network
   and may comprise a single pseudowire segment, or multiple segments
   "stitched" together to provide end-to-end connectivity.

   The pseudowire may, itself, require a level of protection, in order
   to meet the service-level guarantees of its SLA.  This protection
   could be provided by the MPLS-TP LSPs that support the pseudowire, or
   could be a feature of the pseudowire layer itself.

   As indicated above, the functional architecture described in this
   document applies to both LSPs and pseudowires.  *However, the recovery
   mechanisms for pseudowires are for further study and will be defined
   in a separate document by the PWE3 working group.
*


Aside from this generally we talk about PW's as bidirectional.. Would 1:1
unidirectional protection switching be applicable for PW as well?

Looking forward for your reply...

Thanks
