Method and system for layer-2 pseudo-wire rapid-deployment service over unknown internet protocol networks

摘要

An International Standards Organization (OSI) Layer-2 (Ethernet) Pseudo-wire (OSI Layer-1 type service) appliance, method, system and hub service is disclosed. The method and system facilitate the rapid deployment of Layer-2 Pseudo-wires over unknown and untrusted Internet Protocol (IP) networks. The method and system facilitate the fluid edge of corporate networks and any situation where the Layer-3 network addresses cannot be changed.
