Re: draft-kawakami-mpls-lsp-vlan-00.txt
hi,
per gmpls, Layer-2 Switch Capable (L2SC) interfaces are
defined:
Interfaces that recognize frame/cell boundaries and can forward data
based on the content of the frame/cell header. Examples include
interfaces on Ethernet bridges that forward data based on the
content of the MAC header and interfaces on ATM-LSRs that forward
data based on the ATM VPI/VCI.
i agree with juergen, this i-d should be discussed at
the ccamp working group
thanks,
- dimitri.
