A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Pseudo Wire Emulation Edge to Edge Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Encapsulation Methods for Transport of Ethernet Frames
Over IP/MPLS Networks
Author(s) : L. Martini et al.

An Ethernet Pseudowire (PW) allows Ethernet/802.3 Protocol Data Units
(PDUs) to be carried over a Packet Switched Network (PSN) such as IP
or MPLS. This ability enables service providers to leverage an
existing PSN to offer ethernet services. This document addresses the
encapsulation of Ethernet/802.3 PDUs within a pseudowire, and issues
associated with the point-to-point emulation of ethernet within a PW.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-pwe3-ethernet-encap-01.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
