Pseudowire Setup and Maintenance Using the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP)
RFC 8077 also known as STD 84

Received changes through RFC Editor sync (changed abstract to 'Layer 2 services (such as Frame Relay, Asynchronous Transfer Mode, and Ethernet) can be emulated over an MPLS backbone by encapsulating the Layer 2 Protocol Data Units (PDUs) and then transmitting them over pseudowires (PWs). It is also possible to use pseudowires to provide low-rate Time-Division Multiplexed and Synchronous Optical NETworking circuit emulation over an MPLS-enabled network. This document specifies a protocol for establishing and maintaining the pseudowires, using extensions to the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP). Procedures for encapsulating Layer 2 PDUs are specified in other documents.

This document is a rewrite of RFC 4447 for publication as an Internet Standard.')
