Rosen and Giles Heron}, title = {{Encapsulation Methods for Transport of Ethernet over MPLS Networks}}, pagetotal = 24, year = 2006, month = apr, abstract = {An Ethernet pseudowire (PW) is used to carry Ethernet/802.3 Protocol Data Units (PDUs) over an MPLS network. This enables service providers to offer "emulated" Ethernet services over existing MPLS networks. This document specifies the encapsulation of Ethernet/802.3 PDUs within a pseudowire. It also specifies the procedures for using a PW to provide a "point-to-point Ethernet" service. {[}STANDARDS-TRACK{]}}, }
