The Layer 2 Tunnel Protocol Version 3 feature expands on Cisco support of the Layer 2 Tunnel

Protocol Version 3 (L2TPv3). L2TPv3 is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) l2tpext working
group draft that provides several enhancements to L2TP for the capability to tunnel any Layer 2
payload over L2TP.
Specifically, L2TPv3 defines the L2TP protocol for tunneling Layer 2 payloads over an IP core
network using Layer 2 virtual private networks (VPNs). Benefits of this feature include the
following:
•L2TPv3 simplifies deployment of VPNs
•L2TPv3 does not require Multiprotocol Label Switching
•L2TPv3 supports Layer 2 tunneling over IP for any payload

Cisco Any Transport over MPLS (AToM) is a solution for transporting Layer 2 packets over an
MPLS backbone. It enables Service Providers to supply connectivity between customer sites with
existing data link layer (Layer 2) networks via a single, integrated, packet-based network
infrastructure: a Cisco MPLS network. Without separate networks that each have network
management environments, Service Providers can deliver Layer 2 connections over an MPLS
backbone.
Cisco AToM provides a common framework to encapsulate and transport supported Layer 2 traffic
types over an MPLS network core. Service Providers can use a single MPLS network
infrastructure to offer connectivity for supported Layer 2 traffic and for IP traffic in Layer 3 VPNs.
