Biridging Control Protocol (BCP)

Bonjour,

Do you know if the Ethernet encapsulation over BCP is really used ?
The BCP protocol is specified in RFC3518 (april 2003) that obsoletes
RFC2878, and would be adapted to remote bridging communications.

Thanks,
Michelot

I don't understand your question. BCP simply specifies a means to
encapsulate RemoteBridge-to-RemoteBridge control messages in PPP. The
encapsulation used is PPP, not Ethernet. The format of the inner
(encapsulated) messages doesn't change.
