[c-nsp] EoMPLS restrictions

[nasir.shaikh at bt.com]

Hi,
Can someone shed some light on the following limitation of EoMPLS?
Layer 2 connection restrictions:
- You cannot have a direct Layer 2 connection between provider-edge routers with EoMPLS
Why is this?
I have a MAN running MPLS where my PE are directly connected. I need to do extend my datacenter LANs from location A to location B. I was thinking of using EoMPLS but this limitation is bothering me because I don't understand this limitation.
Anyone care to explain?
Topology as under:
CE--(trunk)dot1q(tunnel)-->PE--MPLS--PE--tunnel(dot1q)trunk-->CE
                                               |                     |
                                         MPLS           MPLS
                                               |                     |
CE--(trunk)dot1q(tunnel)-->PE--MPLS--PE--tunnel(dot1q)trunk-->CE

The CE on the right hand side are under my control and there is another cascaded CE device behind which the data center resides. So I could convert the CE to a PE to resolve this.
Any suggestions are welcome
