For an end user of this technology then I am pretty much stuck with If I want to provide L2 VPN services using draft-martini across PEs, then use martini. Else, work some magic?? Because vendor X's implementation of the draft does not support providing L2 VPN services off the same PE using martini? Doesn't this sound silly? Am I missing something? -----Original Message----- From: Jim Guichard [mailto:jguichar@cisco.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2002 7:36 AM To: jlin@doradosoftware.com; Vach Kompella; Andrew G.
