Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2011-10-05. 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 This document specifies a mechanism to signal Pseudowire (PW) status messages using an 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 OAM message mapping and PW redundancy to operate on static PWs. This document also updates rfc5885 in the case when BFD is used to convey PW status signaling information. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pwe3-static-pw-status/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pwe3-static-pw-status/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
