TDM Pseudowire Profile
Pseudowire emulation is a method for transmitting any Layer 2 protocol over PSNs
(Packet Switched Networks). It allows a seamless connection between two network ele-
ments by creating logical links, or virtual tunnels, across the packet network. In TDM
pseudowires, the transmitted E1, T1, E3, or T3 streams are encapsulated in packets upon
entering the network and then reconstructed at the pseudowire egress, where clocking in-
formation is also regenerated. As a result, real-time traffic is delivered transparently with-
out distortion, avoiding the complexities of translating signaling data, while ensuring that
synchronization criteria are met.
In order to perform the TDM pseudowire related configuration, you should create/enter
the TDM pseudowire profile. For the creation and configuration of the profile, see the fol-
lowing sections.
