In the emulation of Core-LAPF links over PWs:
a) [RFC4591] (FRoPW L2TPv3):
+ FRPW Payload: Core-LAPF PDU is transported in its entirety,
excluding flags and FCS, bit stuffing is undone. So, FRPW payload
transports Core-LAPF "address and data" fields.
+ L2-Specific Sublayer: presents if sequencing or other features
required. The Default format defined in Section 4.6 of [RFC3931] MUST be
used.
+ Bits of the Core-LAPF Address:
* C/R: conveyed transparently. Its value MUST NOT be changed by
the LCCE.
* FECN, BECN, DE: MAY be set by the LCCE.
b) [RFC4619] (FRoMPLS):
+ FRPW Payload: Core-LAPF PDU is transported in its entirety,
excluding bit/byte stuffing, frame relay header, and FCS. I understand
"frame relay header" means "Core-LAPF address field". So, FRPW payload
would ONLY transport Core-LAPF data field.
+ L2-Specific Sublayer (CW): always presents, with the bits C, D, F, B
+ Bits of the Core-LAPF Address:
* C/R: copied unchanged in the CW (bit C)
* FECN: copied in the CW (bit F). If it is not already set, it
MAY be set as a result of ingress frame policing.
* BECN: copied in the CW (bit B). If it is not already set, it
MAY be set as a result of ingress frame policing.
* DE: copied in the CW (bit D). If it is not already set, it MAY
be set as a result of ingress frame policing.
Why these differences?.
In RFC4591, I understand FRPW payload transports "Core-LAPF address
field", but egress LCCE does not use it (apart from "C/R" bit). Why?
Why does RFC4591 transports "Core-LAPF address field" in the FRPW
payload insteed of using the L2-Specific Sublayer such as RFC4619?
