MPLS-TP on pseudowires

MPLS-TP is supported on PWs with static labels. The provisioning model supports RFC 6370-style PW path identifiers for MPLS-TP PWs.

MPLS-TP PWs reuse the static PW provisioning model of previous 7210 SAS releases. The primary distinguishing feature for an "MPLS-TP" PW is the ability to configure MPLS-TP PW path identifiers, and to support MPLS-TP OAM and static PW status signaling.

The 7210 SAS can perform the role of a T-PE for a PW with MPLS-TP. The 7210 SAS-R6 and 7210 SAS-R12 can perform the role of S-PE for MPLS-TP PW. The 7210 SAS-T does not support S-PE functionality.

A spoke-SDP with static PW labels and MPLS-TP identifiers and OAM capabilities can use an SDP that uses either an MPLS-TP tunnel, or that uses regular RSVP-TE LSPs. The control word is supported for all MPLS-TP PWs.
