Structure-Aware Time Division Multiplexed Circuit Emulation Service over Packet Switched Network

Overview

RFC 5086, “Structure-Aware Time Division Multiplexed Circuit Emulation Service over Packet Switched Network”, is an Informational document published in December 2007 by A. Vainshtein, I. Sasson, E. Metz, T. Frost, P. Pate. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document describes a method for encapsulating structured (NxDS0) Time Division Multiplexed (TDM) signals as pseudowires over packet-switching networks (PSNs). In this regard, it complements similar work for structure-agnostic emulation of TDM bit-streams (see RFC 4553). This memo provides information for the Internet community.
