Page 2 Introduction Two most deployed services are  Ethernet services E-LINE, E-TREE and E-LAN  PDH circuit emulation services  Two IWF specifications available  MEF8 for PDH over Ethernet  RFC4553 for PDH over MPLS Do we need peer-interworking functions for those services?  For the case of MPLS-TP deploying EVC as generic transport service layer  For the case of MPLS-TP deploying EVC as mp2mp/rmp transport service layer and MPLS-TP VC (MS-PW) as p2p/p2mp transport service layer

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Page March 2009 Conclusion

Page 15 Conclusion Number of peer-interworking functions is minimized when MPLS-TP deploys EVC layer as generic transport service layer  Peer-interworking only necessary between IP/MPLS and multi- technology (ethernet & mpls-tp) packet transport network for non- Ethernet services  Peer-interworking simplest via “stitching”
