Hi Sophia,

Other L2 VPN technologies should also do the trick (e.g. martini,
l2vpn and gre, as mentioned by Dave). Since CCC is not based on a
standard, it is likely to be available only on networks using Juniper
at the edge. CCC has recently had some interesting new capabilities
added which allow it to connect diverse encapsulations (e.g. ATM to
FR or PPP to FR but, unfortunately, not yet including Enet).

Martini and l2vpn are limited to similar encapsulations at both ends
of the VPN (the l2vpn draft does provide for interworking of
differing encapsulations so long as you only want to carry IP but
that doesn't meet your requirements).

Hope that helps.

Guy
