A pseudowire (PW) can be used to carry Point to Point Protocol (PPP)
or High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) Protocol Data Units over a
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) network without terminating the
PPP/HDLC protocol.  This enables service providers to offer "emulated"
HDLC, or PPP link services over existing MPLS networks.  This document
specifies the encapsulation of PPP/HDLC Packet Data Units (PDUs)
within a pseudowire.  [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
