An Asynchronous Transfer Mode (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 methods for the encapsulation of ATM cells within
a pseudowire.  It also specifies the procedures for using a PW to
provide an ATM service.  [STANDARDS TRACK]

This document is a product of the Pseudo Wire Emulation Edge to Edge
Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track
protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and 
suggestions for improvements.Please refer to the current edition of the 
Internet Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization 
state and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is 
unlimited.
