Title : The Nortel Networks Ethernet Layer 2 Virtual Private
Service Protocol

This draft specifies an Ethernet Layer 2 Virtual Private Service
Protocol using Ethernet addressing hierarchy and service
separation. This protocol enables Service Providers to deploy an
Ethernet Network and offer scalable and manageable layer 2
Transparent LAN Services (L2TLS). The primary goal of this
protocol is to eliminate the need of the Service Provider to
manage customer address information and forwarding within its
network. Another goal is to allow auto provisioning of VPN service
instances within the Service Provider networks. This solution
maintains customer benefits of simplicity of access to the VPN,
allows efficient utilization of Service Provider network
resources, and overcomes distance limitations of customer's LANs.

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.
