	Title		: Pseudowire Customer Edge to Customer Edge Emulation

The PWE3 architecture document places the interworking function
solely in the PE, so that the attachment circuit between PE and CE
carries the native service.  This is appropriate for a service
provider that offers the customer a seamless alternative for
transporting the native service.  An alternative is to place the
interworking function in the CE, with ethernet access from CE to PE.
We present advantages of this approach and note required changes to
the PWE architecture.

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.
