A Layer 3 destination may be an attached DLEP router, in the case of | 1.1. Terminology | |||
a modem that provides Layer 3 wide area network connectivity between | ||||
devices, or a logical destination that describes a set of attached | ||||
subnets, when referring to some upstream backbone network | ||||
infrastructure. | ||||
1.1. Requirements | Local Layer 2 domain: The Layer 2 domain that links the router and | |||
modem participants of the current DLEP session. | ||||
Layer 3 DLEP Destination: A DLEP Destination that is not directly | ||||
addressable within the local Layer 2 domain, but is reachable via | ||||
a node addressable within the local Layer 2 domain. | ||||
Gateway Node: The last device with a MAC address reachable in the | ||||
local Layer 2 domain on the path from the DLEP router participant, | ||||
towards the Layer 3 DLEP Destination. This device is commonly the | ||||
DLEP peer modem but could be another DLEP Destination in the Layer | ||||
2 domain. | ||||
1.2. Applicability | ||||
This extension was designed primarily to address the following use | ||||
cases: | ||||
1. A radio system that does not operate in Layer 2 bridge mode, but | ||||
instead provides Layer 3 connectivity between destinations, often | ||||
using its own embedded Layer 3 routing function. | ||||
2. A point-to-multipoint tunnel system, such as an SD-WAN | ||||
deployment, where the tunnel provider acts as a modem, having | ||||
knowledge of the characteristics of the underlay network, and | ||||
providing that information as availability and metrics between | ||||
tunnel endpoints in the overlay network. | ||||
3. A modem that provides connectivity to a remote wide-area network | ||||
via a wireless link, but the concept of a Layer 2 reachable | ||||
remote router does not apply. An example of such a modem would | ||||
be an LTE device or 802.11 station that provides variable | ||||
connectivity to the Internet. | ||||
This list of use-cases is not exhaustive, and this extension may well | ||||
be applicable to future, currently unforeseen, use-cases. | ||||

Layer 2 domain beyond which the Layer 3 DLEP Destination resides. | ||||
For example, if the over-the-air network is not a single Layer 2 | ||||
domain, the MAC Address Data Item might be the address of the LAN- | ||||
side interface of the local modem. Alternatively, when used with | ||||
some kind of backbone infrastructure, the MAC Address Data Item would | ||||
be the address of the last device reachable on the local Layer 2 | ||||
domain. However, how such remote destinations are discovered is | ||||
beyond the scope of this specification. | ||||
As only modems are initially aware of Layer 3 DLEP Destinations, Link | As only modems are initially aware of Layer 3 DLEP Destinations, Link | |||
