Colleagues,

What's the current view of how to support MPLS over MPLS-TP?

Do we put a PW in the middle (like draft-bryant) or do we just use the label
stack and have MPLS directly over MPLS-TP?

Advantage of the first is that it gives layer separation (e.g. If the two
layers are operated by different parties), advantage of the second is it's
probably a bit simpler.

Do the drafts we have say anything about the MPLS over MPLS-TP case? Same
for IP over MPLS-TP?

Thanks
Ben
