Abstract

This document describes how to connect pseudowires (PWs) betweendifferent Packet Switched Network (PSN) domains or between two ormore distinct PW control plane domains, where a control plane domainuses a common control plane protocol or instance of that protocol fora given PW. The different PW control plane domains may belong toindependent autonomous systems, or the PSN technology isheterogeneous, or a PW might need to be aggregated at a specific PSNpoint. The PW packet data units are simply switched from one PW toanother without changing the PW payload. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
