Abstract

This document describes the preferred design of a PseudowireEmulation Edge-to-Edge (PWE3) Control Word to be used over an MPLSpacket switched network, and the Pseudowire Associated ChannelHeader. The design of these fields is chosen so that an MPLS LabelSwitching Router performing MPLS payload inspection will not confusea PWE3 payload with an IP payload. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
