Abstract
An Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Pseudowire (PW) is used to carry
ATM cells over an MPLS network. This enables service providers to
offer "emulated" ATM services over existing MPLS networks. This
document specifies methods for the encapsulation of ATM cells within
a pseudowire. It also specifies the procedures for using a PW to
provide an ATM service.
