 It fits in the PPVPN box. While  it has peices (like GMPLS encodings that
 fit into the CCAMP box.

WHY IS IT TARGETED AT THIS WG

 This WG is looking at port based VPN over an IP/MPLS infrastructure.
 This work is exactly a port-based optical VPN using IP related
 building blocks.


JUSTIFICATION

   Some work done at the CCAMP, some at the OIF relates to optical
   VPN. Thisis the only work that tries to address optical VPN from
   end to end using BGP and GMPLS as building blocks.

   The current PPVPN chairs have already discussed this work and are
   considering this work in the next IETF meeting to expand the charter
   to include layer-1/Optical VPNs.
