Framework for Pseudo Wire Emulation Edge-to-Edge (PWE3)

Overview This document describes a framework for Pseudo Wires Emulation Edge- to-Edge (PWE3). It discusses the emulation of circuits (such as T1, E1, T3, E3 and SONET/SDH) and services (such as ATM and Frame Relay) over packet switched networks (PSNs) using IP, L2TP or MPLS. It presents an architectural framework for pseudo wires (PWs), defines terminology, specifies the various protocol elements and their functions, overviews some of the services that will be supported and discusses how PWs fit into the broader context of protocols.

MPLS: The icing on the networking cake?

Are we on the verge of a step-change in the quality of networking, a change that will put what we've come to expect from the likes of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), Frame Relay and all-IP to shame?

IP over everything?

In practice, the former involves finding a method of utilising traditional SDH infrastructure to transport IP using time-honoured protocols such as ATM and Frame Relay. In each location, we have an IP VPN router, SDH optical equipment and a Frame...

Has Gigabit Ethernet come of age?

The advent of its fatter version is opening up the transfer of WAN data from ATM, frame-relay or packet over SONET/SDH to a potentially more efficient and cheaper method. However, as yet Gigabit Ethernet and its even fatter younger sibling 10...

AA slashes £2m a year off voice and data costs

The AA was running an old BT frame-relay network for its data and wide area network and using Energis for its voice network and call centre management but has now switched to a three-year managed services deal with Cable & Wireless (C&W).

Convergence: lower costs and extra flexibility - the IP VPN promise

For multinationals, moving from international Frame Relay circuits to an MPLS IP VPN does not necessarily save money in the short term though longer-term financial payoffs are already being reported by early adopters.

FT spends £3.5m on WAN from BT

The FT is migrating from Frame Relay technology to an IP VPN-based network that uses MPLS, a protocol that allows greater flexibility and the prioritising of data. The key is that the network is managed - we don't expect BT to own all the circuits...
