   This document specifies a mechanism for protecting pseudowires (PW)
   against egress attachment circuit (AC) failure and egress PE failure.
   Designed on the basis of multi-homed CE, upstream label assignment
   and context specific label switching, the mechanism enables local
   repair to be performed immediately upon a failure.  In particular,
   the router at point of local repair (PLR) can redirect PW traffic to
   a protector PE via a bypass LSP in the order of tens of milliseconds,
   achieving fast protection that is comparable to MPLS fast reroute.
