The architecture of an MPLS VPN solution relies on the establishment
of two layers of reachability information. The first is the
association of a prefix, interface, or route table to a VPNv4 label
that is used on the egress PE to delineate a Virtual Route Forwarding
table. The second is the association of the next-hop to reach the
egress PE. By default, the MPLS VPN establishes an LSP tunnel from
the ingress PE to the egress PE. A requirement exists to establish
an IP tunnel between the ingress and egress PE in lieu of an LSP.
The egress PE's tunnel capability needs to be distributed to all the
potential ingress PE's as well as the attributes of the tunnel. The
tunnel end-point discovery may occur within and across Autonomous
Systems. BGP is the logical protocol of choice that is widely
deployed for MPLS VPN solutions and can carry this information in a
synchronized manner. This document defines how BGP speakers can
convey Tunnel end-point reachability information.

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.
