PW-CE2-E Alternatively “Edge to Edge” could mean “CEto CE” PW CE IWF IWF CE PE PE attachment circuit attachment circuit PSN
Pros & Cons PW-PE2-E • migration to PW doesn’t require customer upgrade • single (large) IWF serves multiple customers • service provider responsible for IWF PW-CE2-E • Ethernet access may be cheaper • easier to provide many different services • customer responsible for IWF • suitable for enterprise scenarios
Questions • PWE3 Charter states • Service providers are seeking to offer multiple services acrossa common packet switched network … • From the customer perspective, the pseudo wire is perceived as anunshared link … of the chosen service • does this rule out PW-CE2-E ? • if so, can we fix it when we re-charter? • PWE3 architecture draft figure 2 (PWE3 Network Reference Model) is specifically PW-PE2-E • do we want to modify this ? • do we want to define 2 scenarios?
