[cisco-bba] Multiple virtual circuits over single link

[Vince Mammoliti]

One option would be to do a GRE or L2TP tunnel from the Customer CPE device.

Darren, 

It is technically possible, but as you do not operate the last mile (BT...),
not sure what services they could offer.

What you could do is create an IP overlay over the regular IP uplink... So
you have the PPPoE session for connectivity and the main service, and then
use a GRE tunnel terminating in the other service VRF on the CE device to
tunnel the traffic to where it should go on your infrastructure.
If you need Layer 2 extension, you could look at L2TPv3
