Abstract
The Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol, Version 3, (L2TPv3) defines a protocol for tunneling a variety of data link protocols over IP networks. These data link protocols must be of the same technology and the L2TPv3 session carries frames of that technology. However, if it is known beforehand that the frames to be transported only carry IP datagrams as payload, it is possible to provide L2TPv3 sessions that connects unlike data link technologies (e.g., ethernet and PPP). This is achieved by terminating the Layer 2 protocol in the LCCE and transporting only the IP datagrams over L2TPv3, such that the L2TPv3 session links uniform Pseudowire terminations (i.e. IP Layer 2 Transport Pseudowire Type) and an NSP function provides interworking. This document describes the control messaging and encapsulation specifics of how to tunnel IP datagrams directly over L2TPv3 to allow for connecting different data link technologies in an interworking fashion.
