Time Division Multiplexing over IP

Overview

RFC 5087, “Time Division Multiplexing over IP”, is an Informational document published in December 2007 by Y(J). Stein, R. Shashoua, R. Insler, M. Anavi. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

Time Division Multiplexing over IP (TDMoIP) is a structure-aware method for transporting Time Division Multiplexed (TDM) signals using pseudowires (PWs). Being structure-aware, TDMoIP is able to ensure TDM structure integrity, and thus withstand network degradations better than structure-agnostic transport. Structure-aware methods can distinguish individual channels, enabling packet loss concealment and bandwidth conservation. Accessibility of TDM signaling facilitates mechanisms that exploit or manipulate signaling. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
