Encapsulation

The packet is encapsulated on an Ethernet pseudowire, which is associated with a pseudowire port on the converged PE, and a spoke SDP on the access PE. The SDP could use an LDP LSP, RSVP LSP, segment routed tunnel, BGP RFC3107 tunnel, or LDP over RSVP tunnel. Hash labels are not supported. The SDP may be bound to a port or a LAG, although shaping Vports for pseudowire ports on LAGs in distributed mode is not supported. If an SDP is rerouted, then the corresponding pseudowire ports are brought operationally down. Pseudowire ports are associated with an SDP by configuration.
