Abstract: Data is transferred from a plurality of ingress application flows over an MPLS network. Application flow control information is identified from the unencapsulated headers of the ingress data streams and a flow parameter is appended to the header stack. Application outbound load balancing identifies multiple equal cost network bound paths and utilizes application flow parameters to distribute data streams over a plurality of pseudowires without exceeding predetermined thresholds.

Abstract: Providing protection to network data traffic over Pseudowires includes sending a Pseudowire TLV containing a precedence parameter to each of a set redundant Pseudowires between provider edge nodes. In the event that the designated active Pseudowire of a set of Pseudowires becomes unavailable, this configuration parameter allows peer provider edge nodes to be notified of the precedence of each Pseudowire in the redundant set in order to coordinate a switchover operation to a preferred protection Pseudowire.
Abstract: Transferring data in a network is disclosed. Transferring includes receiving a Provider Backbone Transport (PBT) frame, identifying a plurality of location specific identifiers in the PBT frame, mapping the PBT frame to a service based at least in part on the plurality of location specific identifiers, formatting the PBT frame according to the service to obtain a service frame, and transferring the service frame to a network associated with the service.
