An Ethernet pseudowire (PW) is used to carry Ethernet/802.3 Protocol
Data Units (PDUs) over an MPLS network.  This enables service providers to
offer "emulated" Ethernet services over existing MPLS networks.  This
document specifies the encapsulation of Ethernet/802.3 PDUs within a
pseudowire.  It also specifies the procedures for using a PW to
provide a "point-to-point Ethernet" service.  [STANDARDS TRACK]

This document is a product of the Pseudo Wire Emulation Edge to Edge
Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track
protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and 
suggestions for improvements.Please refer to the current edition of 
the Internet Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization 
state and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is
