Is it that L2 and L3 VPNs are services on top of the infrastructure
provided by the network, but L1VPNs can allocate the infrastructure
resources themselves?  L1VPNs aren't (necessarily) "over" anything?  In
G.805-speak, unlike L2 and L3 VPNs, they aren't necessarily path layer
networks.  It is an end-to-end service, but not necessarily an Internet
service (the control of it is)?
