Transport of Layer 2 Frames Over MPLS

“…This document and its contents have since been superseded by the Pseudowire Emulation Edge to Edge Working Group specifications: [RFC4447], [RFC4385], [RFC4448], [RFC4717], [RFC4618], [RFC4619], [RFC4553], [RFC4842], and related documents. This document serves as a documentation of current implementations, and MUST NOT be used for new implementations.…”

Pseudowire Setup and Maintenance Using the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP)

“…Introduction [RFC4619], [RFC4717], [RFC4618], and [RFC4448] explain how to encapsulate a Layer 2 Protocol Data Unit (PDU) for transmission over an MPLS-enabled network. Those documents specify that a "pseudowire header", consisting of a demultiplexer field, will be prepended to the encapsulated PDU.…”
