Abstract
An InfiniBand(IB) pseudowire (PW) is used to carry InfiniBand frames over an MPLS network. This enables service providers to offer "emulated" InfiniBand services over existing MPLS networks. This document specifies the encapsulation of InfiniBand PDUs within a pseudowire. It also specifies how islands of IB fabrics can be connected via PWs to form a single IB subnet.
