Abstract

The Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol, Version 3 (L2TPv3) defines aprotocol for tunneling a variety of payload types over IP networks.This document defines how to carry an MPLS label stack and itspayload over the L2TPv3 data encapsulation. This enables anapplication that traditionally requires an MPLS-enabled core network,to utilize an L2TPv3 encapsulation over an IP network instead. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
