摘要:
A method, apparatus and computer program product for providing point-to-multipoint multihop distribution using Pseudowires (PWs) is presented. Data is received at a switching provider edge (S-PE) router from an upstream originating provider edge (O-PE) router by way of a first PW, the first PW having a head-end coupled to the O-PE and a tail end coupled to the S-PE. The data received is replicated by the S-PE to at least one receiver provider edge (R-PE) router by way of a respective PW for each of the at least one R-PE, each of the respective PW between the S-PE and the R-PE having a head end coupled to the SPE and a tail end coupled to the R-PE.
摘要:
A method, apparatus and computer program product for routing data within a packet-switched network using a PW wherein the PW is terminated directly on the layer-3 routing device such that certain services and applications can be utilized is presented. The method, apparatus and computer program product receives an encapsulated layer-2 Protocol Data Unit (PDU) from a pseudowire emulating a service. The encapsulation is removed from the encapsulated layer-2 PDU and a layer-2 circuit associated with the pseudowire is terminated. The circuit is treated as an interface and the PDU is forwarded based on upper layer protocol information within the PDU.
