SERVICE MULTIPLEXING AND DEMULTIPLEXING USING A SINGLE PSEUDOWIRE SERVICE/LABEL SWITCHED PATH LABEL IN A MULTIPROTOCOL LABEL SWITCHING NETWORK

摘要

A system for packet transmission over an MPLS tunnel may include a plurality of network devices. The network devices may include ingress and egress routers and intermediate routers. The system may be configured to use payload type indication labels and payload type headers to transmit packets from a plurality of user devices having different payload types and service instances over a single pseudo-wire service in a label switched path of the MPLS network.
