"pseudo" is a term meaning "almost" or "like a" or "fake". So a pseudo-wire
is "like" a wire going all the way across a WAN infrastructure. It creates
a connection just as if you were local and had a real physical cable plugged
in (close anyway). Or that's the intention of the term!
L2TP and MPLS are used to simulate this connection.
