Figure 13: VLL Resilience with Pseudowire Redundancy and Switching
Pseudowire switching is a method for scaling a large network of VLL or VPLS services by
removing the need for a full mesh of T-LDP sessions between the 7x50 PE nodes as the number of
these nodes grows over time. In the network in Figure 4
Like in the application in
PE1 node switches the path of a VLL to a secondary standby pseudowire in the case of a network
side failure causing the VLL binding status to be DOWN or if T-PE2 notified it that the remote
SAP went down. This application requires that pseudowire status notification messages generated
by either a 7x50 T-PE node or a 7x50 S-PE node be processed and relayed by the S-PE nodes.
Note that it is possible that the secondary pseudowire path terminates on the same target PE as the
primary, for example, T-PE2. This provides protection against network side failures but not
