Abstract
The Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol, Version 3 (L2TPv3) defines an
extensible tunneling protocol to transport layer 2 services over IP
networks. This document describes the specifics of how to use the
L2TP control plane for Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Pseudowires
and provides guidelines for transporting various ATM services over an
IP network.

1. Introduction
This document describes the specifics of how to use the Layer 2
Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) for Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)
Pseudowires, including encapsulation, carrying various ATM services,
such as AAL5 SDU, ATM VCC/VPC/Port cell relay over L2TP, and mapping
ATM defects to L2TP Set-Link-Info (SLI) messages to notify the peer
L2TP Control Connection Endpoint (LCCE).
Any ATM-specific AVPs or other L2TP constructs for ATM Pseudowire
(ATMPW) support are defined here as well. Support for ATM Switched
