If I understand "L2PT" right here, this is the classic "EoMPLS" (in
Cisco language) or "CCC" thing, as in "transparently connecting exactly
*two* ethernet ports together, over MPLS or L2TPv3 or ... transport"?

If yes, is this something people do over EVPN?

I'm asking because I'm trying to understand options - we see EVPN as
a tool for "I need a learning bridge in the middle, with more than two
endpoints", while EoMPLS/CCC is "I want to connect exactly two endpoints,
and the middleboxes must be fully transparent, including STP forwarding".
