If you're doing straight LDP-based EoMPLS pw's, then this is vanilla.

If you're doing BGP-based EoMPLS pw's that are not VPLS/EVPN, I know
this is what Juniper call(ed) L2VPN. Cisco did not support this back in
the day, but since they now support BGP AD for VPLS/EVPN, there might be
support for this; I'm not sure.

The only time we consider signaling pw's via BGP is if we're doing VPLS
or EVPN, not point-to-point circuits.
