Abstract
An edge termination point (ETP) transport protocol between two or more ETPs in a network, such as a Layer 2 transport network, may be provided. A device may receive an incoming internet protocol (IP) transaction at an edge termination point (ETP) in a network. The device may terminate the received incoming IP transaction at the ETP. The device may map the terminated incoming IP transaction onto an ETP-to-ETP communication. The device may control the ETP-to-ETP communication. For example, the device may control the ETP-to-ETP communication based on a resource management regime. The device may map the ETP-to-ETP communication onto one or more outgoing IP transactions at the ETP. The device may map the IP transaction onto an ETP-ETP communication. The ETP-ETP communication may include one or more ETP flows and one or more ETP transactions.
