A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Layer 2 Virtual Private Networks Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Virtual Private LAN Service
Author(s) : K. Kompella, et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-l2vpn-vpls-bgp-03.txt
Pages : 19
Date : 2005-1-4
Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS), also known as Transparent LAN
Service, and Virtual Private Switched Network service, is a useful
Service Provider offering. The service offered is a Layer 2 VPN;
however, in the case of VPLS, the customers in the VPN are connected
by a multipoint network, in contrast to the usual Layer 2 VPNs, which
are point-to-point in nature.
This document describes the functions required to offer VPLS, and
proposes a mechanism for signaling a VPLS, as well as for forwarding
VPLS frames across a packet switched network.

In the body type:

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.
