Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS, also known as Transparent LAN
Service) is a useful Service Provider offering. A common scenario
where this offering is made is in the metro area, where several
Multi-Tenant buildings are connected to an Office, and several
Offices are connected by a metro area network. The Service Provider
places a simple, low-cost box (MTU) in each building; these MTUs have
uplinks to some box (PE) in one or more Offices. In such a scenario,
it is useful to decouple the functions needed to offer VPLS across
the MTU and PE; this document proposes one way of accomplishing that.

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.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
