This document describes how to proxy Ethernet frames in HTTP. This protocol is similar to IP proxying in HTTP, but for Layer 2 instead of Layer 3. More specifically, this document defines a protocol that allows an HTTP client to create a tunnel to exchange Layer 2 Ethernet frames through an HTTP server with an attached physical or virtual Ethernet segment.
