This document describes a method to setup a Layer 2 tunnel over
networks based on Ethernet technology. For this purpose, the ports of
an Ethernet switch are configured to forward VLAN tag-labeled packets
incoming from a certain port to another unambiguous port by using
VLAN tag information. The Ethernet switches themselves are a part of
the Label Switching Routers (LSRs), which distribute the VLAN tags
using Label Distribution Protocol (LDP). To enable LDP to fulfil this
function, an LDP extension is proposed. The introduced method
simplifies the transport of Ethernet frames over wide area Ethernet
networks.

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.
