	Title		: BGP-based Auto-Discovery for L1VPNs

        The purpose of this draft is to define a BGP-based auto-
        discovery mechanism for layer-1 VPNs. The auto-discovery 
        mechanism for l1vpns allows the provider network devices to 
        dynamically discover the set of PEs having ports attached to 
        CEs member of the same VPN. That information is necessary for 
        completing the signaling phase. One main objective of l1vpn 
        auto-discovery mechanism is to support "single-end 
        provisioning" model, where addition of a new port to a given 
        l1vpn would involve configuration changes only on the PE that 
        has this port and on the CE that is connected to the PE via 
        this port.

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.
