NAME OF I-D:

  http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-kompella-mpls-l2vpn-02.txt

SUMMARY

  This ID describes an approach to provisioning Layer 2 VPNs in a
  Service Provider network.  From the VPN customers' point of view,
  the VPNs look like the traditional Layer 2 connections (Frame Relay,
  ATM, ...); the benefits here are to the SP, whose job provisioning
  and managing the connections within their network is simplified.
