Technical Summary

This document provides requirements for Layer 2 Provider Provisioned 
Virtual Private Networks (L2VPNs).  It first provides taxonomy and 
terminology and states generic and general service requirements.  It 
covers point-to-point VPNs referred to as Virtual Private Wire 
Service (VPWS), as well as multipoint-to-multipoint VPNs also known 
as Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS).  Detailed requirements are 
expressed from a customer as well as a service provider perspective. 

Working Group Summary

There was little controversy in creation of L2VPN requirements.

Protocol Quality

Thomas Narten, when acting as co-chair of the Internet Area, has

A significant number of vendors have implemented, and a large
number of SP's have deployed, L2VPN protocols based on
requirements contained within this document.
