Hi Nick,
Spot on re the L2VPN, this is how we would deliver the service across our
network to our client. It is getting the service in the first place that is the
issue. NTT are refusing to sell a BGP service, whether on a dedicated port or a
VLAN on an existing, unless it's directly to the end user.
Re transport, I'm not sure where this has come from. We aren’t discussing
transport at all. We require a transit service, low CDR commit, but critically
with BGP and a full table. To confirm, this is not a transport requirement.
Thanks for your time.
Kind regards,
Matthew Butt

Then wouldn't it be possible to take the client in on a l2vpn / p2p ethernet
connection, and hook this up to a physical cross-connect into the NTT service?
It's more expensive, but there's no reason that it wouldn't work.
Maybe part of the issue here seems to be that NTT isn't in the business of
providing low speed transport services, e.g. anything less than 10G carrier.
