Title : Retiring TLVs from the Associated Channel Header of
the MPLS Generic Associated Channel

Abstract:
The MPLS Generic Associated Channel (G-ACh) is a generalization of
the applicability of the Pseudowire (PW) Associated Channel Header
(ACH). RFC 5586 defines the concept of TLV constructs that can be
carried in messages on the G-ACh by placing them in the ACH between
the fixed header fields and the G-ACh message. These TLVs are called
ACH TLVs
No Associated Channel Type yet defined uses an ACH TLV. Furthermore,
it is believed that handling TLVs in hardware introduces significant
problems to the fast-path, and since G-ACh messages are intended to
be processed substantially in hardware, the use of ACH TLVs is
undesirable.
This document updates RFC 5586 by retiring ACH TLVs and removing the
associated registry.
