[j-nsp] l2circuit or l2vpn

[Phil Bedard]

Like someone else said, l2circuit is a Martini-style pw where you need  
to specify the remote end of the pw as a targeted ldp session  
"protocols l2circuit".  There is no dynamic control protocol for the  
setup/teardown of those sessions.   l2vpn is the Kompella-style which  
uses MP-BGP as the control protocol for the setup of those sessions.

There is no direct replacement for L2TPv3 pw on the Juniper platform,  
since it doesn't support L2TPv3; it must run over MPLS.   You can do  
MPLS over a GRE tunnel if you want to go over an IP network in the  
middle.
