Encapsulation Methods for Transport of Asynchronous Transfer Mode over MPLS Networks
RFC 4717, “Encapsulation Methods for Transport of Asynchronous Transfer Mode over MPLS Networks”, is a Proposed Standard document published in December 2006 by L. Martini, J. Jayakumar, M. Bocci, N. El-Aawar, J. Brayley, G. Koleyni. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
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]
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.
