Dynamic Placement of Multi Segment Pseudo Wires
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.
