Abstract
In general, techniques are described for measuring service-specific packet data unit (PDU) loss for individual pseudowires that interconnect two or more L2 customer networks in a L2 virtual private network (L2VPN), such as a VPLS instance. In one example of the techniques, for every pseudowire of a VPLS instance pseudowire mesh, a pseudowire label policer at each of the pseudowire endpoints maintains respective counters for the number of PDUs transmitted and received at the endpoint. The pseudowire label policer may identify service-specific PDUs transmitted and received over individual pseudowires of the VPLS instance by mapping pseudowire labels for the PDUs to the VPLS instance.
