Abstract
A Packet Pseudowire (PPW) must be able to carry a packet of any protocol that can be carried over Ethernet. In many cases IP and MPLS are the pre-dominant protocols on a PPW transported over an MPLS PSN. Other protocols are used mainly for control purposes. In such a scenario it is highly beneficial to make IP/MPLS encapsulation efficient. This document defines such an encapsulation while retaining the ability to exchange packets of any other protocol over the PPW.
