METHOD FOR ESTABLISHING MULTI SEGMENT PSEUDOWIRE ACROSS DOMAINS HAVING DIFFERENT PSEUDOWIRE SIGNALING PROTOCOL

摘要

A method of establishing a multi-segment pseudowire across domains executing different pseudowire signaling protocols augments the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) label message to include a MS-PW TLV. The MS-PW TLV carries pseudowire signal 22 FEC TLV protocol information associated with signaling protocols of other segments of the MS-PW. As a result a multi-segment pseudowire can be extended between domains that execute different pseudowire signaling protocols.
