NAME OF I-D:
SUMMARY
This document describes a transparent virtual LAN
service (VLS) solution over MPLS,
sometimes known as Transparent LAN Services (TLS).
VLS simulates an Ethernet
virtual 802.1d bridge [6] [7] for a given set of
users. It delivers a layer 2
broadcast
domain that is fully capable of learning and
forwarding on Ethernet MAC addresses
that is closed to a given set of users. Many VLS services can be supported from
a single
PE node.

THE SUB-IP WORK
PPVPN
WHY IS IT TARGETTED AT THIS
WG
The charter of the PPVPN WG includes
L2 VPN services and this draft specifies
a model for Ethernet L2 VPN services
over MPLS.
JUSTIFICATION
Existing Internet drafts specify how
to provide point-to-point Ethernet L2 VPN
services over MPLS. This draft
defines how multipoint Ethernet services can be provided.
