The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Encapsulation Methods for Transport of ATM Over MPLS Networks ' <draft-ietf-pwe3-atm-encap-11.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Pseudo Wire Emulation Edge to Edge Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Mark Townsley and Jari Arkko. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-pwe3-atm-encap-11.txt * Technical Summary An ATM Pseudowire (PW) is used to carry ATM cells over an MPLS network. This enables service providers to offer "emulated" ATM services over existing MPLS networks. This document specifies a number of methods for the encapsulation of ATM cells within a pseudowire, and describes the applicability of each method. * Working Group Summary The PWE3 WG have thoroughly reviewed this design. The design is technically identical to Y.1411 and Y.1412, and the design represents the combined efforts of ITU SG13 and IETF PWE3WG. * Protocol Quality There are a number of existing implementations of this protocol. This document was reviewed for the IESG by Mark Townsley. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
