Asynchronous Transfer Mode over Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol Version 3
RFC 4454, “Asynchronous Transfer Mode over Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol Version 3”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2006 by S. Singh, M. Townsley, C. Pignataro. It has since been updated by RFC 5641. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
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. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
