8.4 Ethernet Pseudowire
Because VPLS mimics a simple wired Ethernet connection to your service provider’s router,
the connection between the WiMAX Modem and the peer device is known as an “Ethernet
pseudowire” or “PW”.
The Ethernet pseudowires use MPLS (MultiProtocol Label Switching) virtual circuit labels to
define the connection. In any such pseudowire, the ingress label on one device must be the
same as the egress label on the peer device, as shown in the following figure. A is your
WiMAX Modem and B is your service provider’s router.
