Encapsulation Methods for Transport of Layer 2 Frames over MPLS Networks
RFC 4905, “Encapsulation Methods for Transport of Layer 2 Frames over MPLS Networks”, is a Historic document published in June 2007 by L. Martini, E. Rosen, N. El-Aawar. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes methods for encapsulating the Protocol Data Units (PDUs) of layer 2 protocols such as Frame Relay, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), or Ethernet for transport across an MPLS network. This document describes the so-called "draft-martini" protocol, which has since been superseded by the Pseudowire Emulation Edge to Edge Working Group specifications described in RFC 4447 and related documents. This memo defines a Historic Document for the Internet community.
What “Historic” means
A specification that has been superseded or is otherwise no longer recommended for use.
