Abstract
An Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Pseudowire (PW) is used to carryATM cells over an MPLS network. This enables service providers tooffer "emulated" ATM services over existing MPLS networks. Thisdocument specifies methods for the encapsulation of ATM cells withina pseudowire. It also specifies the procedures for using a PW toprovide an ATM service. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
