This document describes methods for encapsulating the Protocol Data
Units (PDUs) of layer 2 protocols such as Frame Relay, Asynchronous
Transfer Mode (ATM), or Ethernet for transport across an MPLS network.
This document describes the so-called "draft-martini" protocol, which
has since been superseded by the Pseudowire Emulation Edge to Edge
Working Group specifications described in RFC 4447 and related
documents.  This memo defines a Historic Document for the Internet 
community.
