Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) is a type of Layer-2 Provider
Provisioned Virtual Private Network (L2 PPVPN) offered service, which
has been described in [PPVPN-FRWK]. If the Service Provider network
provides IP multicast functionality, then this network capability can
be leveraged in providing very efficient VPLS service and yet
simplifying the implementation of such service. This document describes
a solution for providing VPLS service based on IP multicast feature
referred to as Multicast Virtual Private LAN Service (MVPLS).

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-sajassi-mvpls-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
