Juan/Wenbo,

An alternative to draft-rosen-rfc2547bis is l2vpn as described in
draft-kompella-mpls-l2vpn-01.txt .   One advantage of this method is the
separation of administrative responsibilities.  In MPLS L2VPNs,  the
service provider does not participate in the customer's L3 routing. This
may provide better stability than L3 VPNs.
