+1. Introduction
+
+ [RFC3931] defines a base protocol for Layer 2 Tunneling over IP
+ networks. This document defines the specifics necessary for
+ tunneling Frame Relay over L2TPv3. Such emulated circuits are
+ referred to as Frame Relay Pseudowires (FRPWs).
+
+ Protocol specifics defined in this document for L2TPv3 FRPWs
+ operating in a "virtual circuit-to-virtual circuit" mode include
+ those necessary for frame encapsulation, PVC creation and deletion,
+ and status change notification. Frame Relay traffic may also be
+ transported in a "port-to-port" or "interface-to-interface" fashion
+ using High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) Pseudowires as defined in
+ [RFC4349]. Support for Switched Virtual Circuits (SVCs) and
+ Switched/Soft Permanent Virtual Circuits (SPVCs) are outside the
+ scope of this document.
+
+ The reader is expected to be very familiar with the terminology and
+ protocol constructs defined in [RFC3931].

+
+1.2. Specification of Requirements
+
+ In this document, several words are used to signify the requirements
+ of the specification. These words are often capitalized. The key
+ words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD",
+ "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document
+ are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
+
+2. Control Connection Establishment
+
+ In order to tunnel a Frame Relay circuit over IP using L2TPv3, an
+ L2TPv3 Control Connection MUST first be established as described in
+ [RFC3931]. The L2TPv3 SCCRQ Control Message and corresponding SCCRP
+ Control Message MUST include the Frame Relay Data Link Connection
+ Identifier (DLCI) PW Type of 0x0001 (see IANA Considerations), in the
+ Pseudowire Capabilities List, as defined in Section 5.4.3 of
+ [RFC3931]. This identifies the control connection as able to
+ establish L2TP sessions to support Frame Relay Pseudowires (FRPWs).
+
+ An LCCE MUST be able to identify itself uniquely in the SCCRQ and
+ SCCRP messages via a globally unique value. By default, this is
+ advertised via the structured Router ID Attribute Value Pairs (AVP)
+ [RFC3931], though the unstructured Hostname AVP [RFC3931] MAY be used
+ to identify LCCEs as well.
+
+3. PVC Status Notification and Session Establishment
+
+ This section specifies how the status of a PVC is reported between
+ two LCCEs. This includes what should happen when a PVC is created,
+ deleted or when it changes state between ACTIVE and INACTIVE. When
+ emulating a Frame Relay service, if the procedures for PVC status
+ management defined in [Q933] Annex A are being used between an LCCE
+ and the attached Remote System, an LCCE MUST participate in them (see
+ Section 3.3).

+
+RFC 4591 Frame Relay over L2TPv3 July 2006
+
+
+3.1. L2TPv3 Session Establishment
+
+ PVC creation (provisioning) results in establishment of an L2TP
+ session via the standard three-way handshake described in Section
+ 3.4.1 of [RFC3931]. An LCCE MAY initiate the session immediately
+ upon PVC creation or wait until the PVC state transitions to ACTIVE
+ before attempting to establish a session for the PVC. Waiting until
+ the PVC transitions to ACTIVE may be preferred, as it delays
+ allocation of L2TP resources until it is absolutely necessary.
+
+ The Pseudowire Type AVP defined in Section 5.4.4 of [RFC3931],
+ Attribute Type 68, MUST be present in the Incoming-Call-Request
+ (ICRQ) messages and MUST include the Frame Relay DLCI PW Type of
+ 0x0001 for FRPWs.
+
+ The Circuit Status AVP (see Section 3.4) MUST be present in the ICRQ
+ and Incoming-Call-Reply (ICRP) messages and MAY be present in the Set
+ Link Info (SLI) message for FRPWs.
+
+ The Frame Relay Header Length AVP (see Section 3.5) MAY be present in
+ the ICRQ and ICRP messages.
+
+ The following is an example of the L2TP messages exchanged for an
+ FRPW that is initiated after a new PVC is provisioned and becomes
+ ACTIVE.
+
+ LCCE (LAC) A LCCE (LAC) B
+ ------------------ ------------------
+ FR PVC Provisioned
+ FR PVC Provisioned
+ FR PVC ACTIVE
+
+ ICRQ (status = 0x03) ---->
+
+ FR PVC ACTIVE
+
+ <---- ICRP (status = 0x03)
+
+ L2TP session established,
+ OK to send data into tunnel
+
+ ICCN ----->
+ L2TP session established,
+ OK to send data into tunnel
+
+ In the example above, an ICRQ is sent after the PVC is created and
+ becomes ACTIVE. The Circuit Status AVP indicates that this PVC is
+ ACTIVE and New (0x03). The Remote End ID AVP [RFC3931] MUST be
+
+
+
+Townsley, et al. Standards Track [Page 4]
+
+RFC 4591 Frame Relay over L2TPv3 July 2006
+
+
+ present in the ICRQ in order to identify the PVC (together with the
+ identity of the LCCE itself, as defined in Section 2) to associate
+ the L2TP session with. The Remote End ID AVP, defined in [RFC3931],
+ is of opaque form and variable length, though one MUST at a minimum
+ support use of an unstructured four-octet value that is known to both
+ LCCEs (either by direct configuration, or some other means). The
+ exact method of how this value is configured, retrieved, discovered,
+ or otherwise determined at each LCCE is outside the scope of this
+ document.
+
+ As with the ICRQ, the ICRP is sent only after the FR PVC transitions
+ to ACTIVE as well. If LCCE B had not been provisioned for the PVC
+ identified in the ICRQ, a Call-Disconnect-Notify (CDN) would have
+ been immediately returned indicating that the circuit was not
+ provisioned or available at this LCCE. LCCE A SHOULD then exhibit a
+ periodic retry mechanism. If so, the period and maximum number of
+ retries MUST be configurable.
+
+ An Implementation MAY send an ICRQ or ICRP before a PVC is ACTIVE, as
+ long as the Circuit Status AVP reflects that the PVC is INACTIVE and
+ an SLI is sent when the PVC becomes ACTIVE (see Section 3.3).
+
+ The Incoming-Call-Connected (ICCN) is the final stage in the session
+ establishment, confirming the receipt of the ICRP with acceptable
+ parameters to allow bidirectional traffic.
+
+3.2. L2TPv3 Session Teardown
+
+ In the event that a PVC is deleted (unprovisioned) at either LCCE,
+ the associated L2TP session MUST be torn down via the CDN message
+ defined in Section 3.4.3 of [RFC3931].
+
+ General Result Codes regarding L2TP session establishment are defined
+ in [RFC3931]. Additional Frame Relay result codes are defined as
+ follows:
+
+ 17: FR PVC was deleted permanently (no longer provisioned) 18: FR
+ PVC has been INACTIVE for an extended period of time 19:
+ Mismatched FR Header Length
+
+3.3. L2TPv3 Session Maintenance
+
+ FRPW over L2TP makes use of the SLI control message defined in
+ [RFC3931] to signal Frame Relay link status notifications between
+ LCCEs. This includes ACTIVE or INACTIVE notifications of the VC, and
+ any other parameters that may need to be shared between the tunnel
+ endpoints or LCCEs in order to provide proper PW emulation. The SLI
+ message is a single message that is sent over the L2TP control
+
+
+
+Townsley, et al. Standards Track [Page 5]
+
+RFC 4591 Frame Relay over L2TPv3 July 2006
+
+
+ channel signalling the state change. Since the message is delivered
+ reliably, there is no additional response or action required of the
+ PW subsystem to ensure that the state change notification was
+ received by the tunnel peer.
+
+ The SLI message MUST be sent any time there is a circuit status
+ change that may be reported by any values identified in the Circuit
+ Status AVP. The only exceptions to this are the initial ICRQ, ICRP,
+ and CDN messages, which establish and tear down the L2TP session
+ itself when the PVC is created or deleted. The SLI message may be
+ sent from either LCCE at any time after the first ICRQ is sent (and
+ perhaps before an ICRP is received, requiring that the peer to
+ perform a reverse Session ID lookup).
+
+ An LCCE participating in the procedures for PVC status management
+ defined in [Q933], Annex A, MUST transmit an SLI message including
+ the Circuit Status AVP (see Section 3.4) when it detects a change in
+ the status for a particular local FR PVC (i.e., when it detects a
+ service-affecting condition or the clearing of such a condition). An
+ LCCE receiving an SLI message indicating a change in the status of a
+ particular FRPW SHOULD generate corresponding updates for the FR PVC
+ towards the Remote System, as defined in [Q933], Annex A.
+
+ All sessions established by a given control connection utilize the
+ L2TP Hello facility, defined in Section 4.4 of [RFC3931], for session
+ keepalive. This gives all sessions basic dead peer and path
+ detection between LCCEs.
+
+3.4. Use of the Circuit Status AVP for Frame Relay
+
+ Frame Relay circuit status is reported via the Circuit Status AVP
+ defined in [RFC3931], Attribute Type 71. For reference, this AVP is
+ shown below:
+
+ 0 1
+ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ | Reserved |N|A|
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+
+ The Value is a 16-bit mask with the two least significant bits
+ defined and the remaining bits reserved for future use. Reserved
+ bits MUST be set to 0 by the sender and ignored by the receiver.
+
+ The N (New) bit indicates whether the Circuit Status indication is
+ for a new FR PVC (1) or an existing FR PVC (0).
+
+
+
+
+
+Townsley, et al. Standards Track [Page 6]
+
+RFC 4591 Frame Relay over L2TPv3 July 2006
+
+
+ The A (Active) bit indicates whether the FR PVC is ACTIVE (1) or
+ INACTIVE (0).
+
+3.5. Frame Relay Header Length AVP
+
+ The "Frame Relay Header Length AVP", Attribute type 85, indicates the
+ number of bytes in the Frame Relay header. The two peer LCCEs MUST
+ agree on the length of the Frame Relay header.
+
+ This AVP is exchanged during session negotiation (in ICRQ, ICRP). If
+ the other LCCE supports a different Frame Relay header length, the
+ associated L2TP session MUST be torn down via CDN message with result
+ code 19 (see Section 3.2).
+
+ If the Frame Relay Header Length AVP is not signalled, it MUST be
+ assumed that the peer uses a 2-byte Frame Relay header.
+
+ The Attribute Value field for this AVP has the following format:
+
+ Frame Relay Header Length (ICRQ, ICRP)
+
+ 0 1
+ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ | Frame Relay Header Length |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+
+ The Frame Relay Header Length Type is a 2-octet unsigned integer with
+ the following values defined in this document:
+
+ 2: Two-octet Frame Relay Header 4: Four-octet Frame Relay Header
+
+ This AVP MAY be hidden (the H bit MAY be 0 or 1). The M bit for this
+ AVP MAY be set to 0 but MAY vary (see Section 5.2 of [RFC3931]). The
+ length (before hiding) of this AVP is 8.
+
+4. Encapsulation
+
+4.1. Data Packet Encapsulation
+
+ The FR PDU is transported in its entirety, excluding the opening and
+ closing High Level Data Link Control (HDLC) flags and the frame check
+ sequence (FCS). Bit stuffing is undone. The L2TPv3 Session Header
+ is that as defined in [RFC3931]. If sequencing or other features
+ require presence of an L2-Specific Sublayer, the Default format
+ defined in Section 4.6 of [RFC3931] MUST be used.
+
+
+
+
+
+Townsley, et al. Standards Track [Page 7]
+
+RFC 4591 Frame Relay over L2TPv3 July 2006
+
+
+ The FR header is defined in [Q922]; however, the notation used
+ differs from that used in IETF specifications. For reference, the FR
+ header (referred to as Address Field in [Q922]) in IETF notation is
+
+ 0 1
+ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ | hi dlci |C|0|lo dlci|F|B|D|1|
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+
+ Two-octet FR Header
+
+ 0 1 2 3
+ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ | hi dlci |C|0| dlci |F|B|D|0| dlci |0| dlci_lo |0|1|
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+
+ Four-octet FR Header
+
+ C/R (bit 6) FR frame C/R (command/response) bit [Q922].
+
+ F - FECN (bit 12): FR FECN (Forward Explicit Congestion
+ Notification) bit [Q922].
+
+ B - BECN (bit 13):
+
+ FR BECN (Backward Explicit Congestion Notification) bit [Q922].
+
+ D - DE (bit 14) FR DE bit indicates the discard eligibility [Q922].
+
+ Usage of the C/R, FECN, BECN, and DE bits is as specified in [Q922].
+
+ The C/R bit is conveyed transparently. Its value MUST NOT be changed
+ by the LCCE.
+
+ The FECN bit MAY be set by the LCCE to notify the receiving end-user
+ that the frames it receives have encountered congestion. The end-
+ user may use this indication for destination-controlled transmit rate
+ adjustment. The bit must never be cleared by the LCCE. If the LCCE
+ does not support FECN, it shall pass the bit unchanged.
+
+ The BECN bit MAY be set by the LCCE to notify the receiving end-user
+ that the frames it transmits may encounter congestion. The end-user
+ may use this indication to adjust its transmit rate. The bit must
+ never be cleared by the LCCE. If the LCCE does not support BECN, it
+ shall pass the bit unchanged.
+
+
+
+
+Townsley, et al. Standards Track [Page 8]
+
+RFC 4591 Frame Relay over L2TPv3 July 2006
+
+
+ The DE bit MAY be set by a policing function on the LCCE to indicate
+ that this frame SHOULD be discarded in preference to other frames in
+ a congestion situation. The bit must never be cleared by the LCCE.
+ If the LCCE does not support DE, it shall pass the bit unchanged.
+
+ The encapsulation of Frame Relay frames with the two-octet FR Header
+ is REQUIRED. The encapsulation of Frame Relay frames with the four-
+ octet FR Header is OPTIONAL. The encapsulation of Frame Relay frames
+ with the three-octet FR Header is outside the scope of this document.
+
+4.2. Data Packet Sequencing
+
+ Data Packet Sequencing MAY be enabled for FRPWs. The sequencing
+ mechanisms described in [RFC3931] MUST be used for signalling
+ sequencing support. FRPW over L2TP MUST request the presence of the
+ L2TPv3 Default L2-Specific Sublayer when sequencing is enabled and
+ MAY request its presence at all times.
+
+ If the FRPW is known to be carrying data that does not require packet
+ order be strictly maintained (such as IP), then packet sequencing for
+ the FRPW SHOULD NOT be enabled.
+
+4.3. MTU Considerations
+
+ With L2TPv3 as the tunneling protocol, the packet resulted from the
+ encapsulation is N bytes longer than Frame Relay frame without the
+ opening and closing HDLC flags or FCS. The value of N depends on the
+ following fields:
+
+ L2TP Session Header:
+ Flags, Ver, Res 4 octets (L2TPv3 over UDP only)
+ Session ID 4 octets
+ Cookie Size 0, 4, or 8 octets
+ L2-Specific Sublayer 0 or 4 octets (i.e., with sequencing)
+
+ Thus, the range for N in octets is:
+
+ N = 4 - 16 L2TPv3 data messages are over IP
+ N = 16 - 28 L2TPv3 data messages are over UDP
+ (N does not include the IP header)
+
+ The MTU and fragmentation implications resulting from this are
+ discussed in Section 4.1.4 of [RFC3931].
+
+

+
+RFC 4591 Frame Relay over L2TPv3 July 2006
+
+
+5. Applicability Statement
+
+ The Frame Relay PW emulation described in this document allows a
+ service provider to offer a Frame Relay PVC-based service across an
+ IP packet-switched network (PSN). A Frame Relay port-based service
+ can be offered using [RFC4349].
+
+ The FRPW emulation has the following characteristics in relationship
+ to the native service:
+
+ o There is a one-to-one mapping between a Frame Relay PVC and an
+ FRPW, supporting bi-directional transport of variable length
+ frames. The Frame Relay frame is transported in its entirety,
+ including the DLCI and the C/R, FECN, BECN, and DE bits, but
+ excluding the opening and closing flags and the FCS. The egress
+ LCCE re-writes the DLCI and regenerates the FCS.
+
+ o Two- and four-octet address fields are supported. The length is
+ negotiated between LCCEs during session establishment (see Section
+ 3.5).
+
+ o The availability or unavailability of the PVC is signalled between
+ LCCEs using the Circuit Status AVP (see Section 3.4). Loss of
+ connectivity between LCCEs can be detected by the L2TPv3 keepalive
+ mechanism (see Section 4.4 in [RFC3931]). These indications can be
+ used to determine the PVC status to be signalled through [Q933]
+ procedures at the Frame Relay interface.
+
+ o The maximum frame size that can be supported is limited by the PSN
+ MTU, unless fragmentation and reassembly is used (see Section 4.1.4
+ of [RFC3931]).
+
+ o Sequencing may be enabled on the FRPW to ensure that frames are
+ delivered in order (see Section 4.2).
+
+ o Quality of Service characteristics, such as throughput (CIR),
+ committed burst size (bc), excess burst size (be), and priority,
+ can be provided by leveraging Quality of Service features of the
+ LCCEs and the underlying PSN.
+
+6. Security Considerations
+
+ Frame Relay over L2TPv3 is subject to the security considerations
+ defined in [RFC3931]. There are no additional considerations
+ specific to carrying Frame Relay that are not present for carrying
+ other data link types.
+
+
+
+
+
+Townsley, et al. Standards Track [Page 10]
+
+RFC 4591 Frame Relay over L2TPv3 July 2006
+
+
+7. IANA Considerations
+
+7.1. Pseudowire Type
+
+ The following value for the Frame Relay DLCI PW Type (see Pseudowire
+ Capabilities List, as defined in 5.4.3 of [RFC3931], and L2TPv3
+ Pseudowire Types in 10.6 of [RFC3931]) is allocated by the IANA
+ (number space already created as part of publication of [RFC3931]):
+
+ L2TPv3 Pseudowire Types
+ -----------------------
+
+ 0x0001: Frame Relay DLCI Pseudowire Type
+
+7.2. Result Code AVP Values
+
+ This number space is managed by IANA as described in Section 2.3 of
+ [RFC3438]. Three new L2TP Result Codes for the CDN message appear in
+ Section 3.2. The following is a summary:
+
+ Result Code AVP (Attribute Type 1) Values
+ -----------------------------------------
+
+ 17: PVC was deleted permanently (no longer provisioned)
+ 18: PVC has been INACTIVE for an extended period of time
+ 19: Mismatched FR Header Length
+
+7.3. Control Message Attribute Value Pairs (AVPs)
+
+ This number space is managed by IANA as described in Section 2.2 of
+ [RFC3438]. An additional AVP Attribute, specified in Section 3.5,
+ was allocated for this specification:
+
+ Control Message Attribute Value Pairs
+ -------------------------------------
+
+ 85: Frame Relay Header Length
