RFC 4591, “Frame Relay over Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol Version 3”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2006 by M. Townsley, G. Wilkie, S. Booth, S. Bryant, J. Lau. 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 a protocol for tunneling a variety of data link protocols over IP networks. This document describes the specifics of how to tunnel Frame Relay over L2TPv3, including frame encapsulation, virtual-circuit creation and deletion, and status change notification. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
