RFC 5254, "Requirements for Multi-Segment Pseudowire Emulation Edge-to-Edge (PWE3)", October 2008

Source of RFC: pwe3 (int)

Errata ID: 1792
Status: Verified
Type: Editorial
Publication Format(s) : TEXT

Section 2 says:

Single-Segment Pseudowire (SS-PW).  

A PW setup directly between two PE devices.  Each direction of an SS-PW traverses one PSN tunnel that connects the two PEs.


It should say:

Single-Segment Pseudowire (SS-PW). 

A PW set up directly between two T-PE devices. Each PW in one direction of a SS-PW traverses one PSN tunnel that connects the two T-PEs.

Notes:

The document defines two types of PE, T-PE and S-PE. An SS-PW can only exist between a pair of T-PEs, so this is an editorial rather than a technical errata.

This errata aligns the definition of SS-PW with draft-ietf-pwe3-ms-pw-arch

                Figure 2: PW Switching Reference Model

   Figure 2 extends this architecture to show a multi-segment case.
   Terminating PE1 (T-PE1) and Terminating PE3 (T-PE3) provide PWE3
   service to CE1 and CE2.  These PEs terminate different PSN tunnels,
   PSN Tunnel 1 and PSN Tunnel 2, and may reside in different PSN or
   pseudowire domains.  One PSN tunnel extends from T-PE1 to S-PE1
   across PSN1, and a second PSN tunnel extends from S-PE1 to T-PE2
   across PSN2.

                Figure 2: PW Switching Reference Model

   Figure 2 extends this architecture to show a multi-segment case.
   Terminating PE1 (T-PE1) and Terminating PE3 (T-PE3) provide PWE3
   service to CE1 and CE2.  These PEs terminate different PSN tunnels,
   PSN Tunnel 1 and PSN Tunnel 2, and may reside in different PSN or
   pseudowire domains.  One PSN tunnel extends from T-PE1 to S-PE2
   across PSN1, and a second PSN tunnel extends from S-PE2 to T-PE2
   across PSN2.

Notes:

Rationale:

The original diagram was inconsistent. The proposed edits correct this inconsistency. Specifically the PEs are now labels xPE1, xPE2, xPE3 across
the page and the text is modified accordingly.


The erratum is technically correct, but since the purpose of this RFC was to establish the requirements in RFC5659 and the error does not occur in RFC5659 the problem may be classified as fixed in update.
