Title : Dry-Martini: Supporting PWE3 Over Sub-IP Networks
Author(s) : P. Pan
Filename : draft-pan-pwe3-over-sub-ip-00.txt
Pages : 9
Date : 2004-6-23
This memo proposes a method for transporting layer-2 frames over
existing transport networks by establishing "pseudo-wires" between edge
nodes. The key difference with the existing PWE3 design is that, in our
proposal, pseudo-wires can be established directly on top of all types
of "tunnels", including SONET cross-connects, optical wavelength and ATM
circuits without introducing MPLS LSR functionality on all network
intermediate nodes. The general mechanism for establishing and managing
pseudo-wires is the same as what has been defined in draft-martini. At
data forwarding level, we adapt the same encapsulation methods that have
been defined in IETF PWE3 WG. This memo articulates some of the
requirements for adapting such method.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-pan-pwe3-over-sub-ip-00.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.
