	Title		: Generalized MPLS Signaling for Layer-2 Label Switched 
			  Paths (LSP)

Most efforts on Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) have been focused to
environments of single switching capability devices e.g. one data
plane layer covering either Packet LSPs or Circuit oriented LSPs
(Sonet/SDH, OTH, etc.). Relatively few have been said about the
GMPLS signaling capability to support Layer-2 Label Switched Paths
(LSPs), and in particular native Ethernet LSPs.

This document does not extend these capabilities but simply
details their utilization in several network environments including
overlays. As such, it may be referred to as detailing the
applicability statements for GMPLS for Ethernet switching
environments in support of various deployment scenarios, including
the peer model and the overlay model (e.g. Generalized VPN (GVPN)
and user-network interfaces).

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.
