Elk,

AFAIK

i believe my english & grammar was quite clear.anyway if you are so
challenged ill waste a bit of BW and server space--

the  RFC2547bis part was in quotes(pasted straight from Juniper whitepaper
by c.semeria) after which my question/message started.

feel free to reply offline if you wish.
no point polluting a good list by such trivial issues.


Regards,

Devendra Vyas

AFAIK

Within the scope of RFC 2574 bis , never heard about  : "  i have heard
there is a workaround for such scenarios wherein...a sort of virtual router

that mimics a L3 CE device is created on the PE of the
provider which connects to L2 CE..and the VPN in turn starts from the PE
connecting to this PE. "

Since the CE in this case is not L3 speaker so we need to define statically

the routing ,
on the PE we use static routing and on the HOST's (connected through the
switch ) using
a default routing pointing to the PE port .
