Transport of Ethernet Frames over Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol Version 3
RFC 4719, “Transport of Ethernet Frames over Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol Version 3”, is a Proposed Standard document published in November 2006 by R. Aggarwal, M. Townsley, M. Dos Santos. It has since been updated by RFC 5641. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes the transport of Ethernet frames over the Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol, Version 3 (L2TPv3). This includes the transport of Ethernet port-to-port frames as well as the transport of Ethernet VLAN frames. The mechanism described in this document can be used in the creation of Pseudowires to transport Ethernet frames 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.
