IESG Note

   This memo documents a way of tunneling PPP over Sonet over MAPOS
   networks.  This document is NOT the product of an IETF working group
   nor is it a standards track document.  It has not necessarily
   benefited from the widespread and in depth community review that
   standards track documents receive.

Abstract

   This document specifies tunneling configuration over MAPOS (Multiple
   Access Protocol over SONET/SDH) networks.  Using this mode, a MAPOS
   network can provide transparent point-to-point link for PPP over
   SONET/SDH (Packet over SONET/SDH, POS) without any additional
   overhead.

1. Introduction

   MAPOS [1][2] frame is designed to be similar to PPP over SONET/SDH
   (Packet over SONET/SDH, POS)[3][4] frame (Figure 1).
