ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides for a method and apparatus for an end-to-end connection between an RPR and an MPLS network, where the RPR network is linked to the MPLS network (and viceversa) through a TLS layer. In a preferred solution, the client layer is Ethernet, but any client layer can be considered.
