Hi, Please can the authors help me understand why this is a PALS draft, or indeed why it is a draft at all? I don’t think it proposes to extend the PALS technology. It simply uses PWs to carry L2 (presumably Ethernet) across a provider network, something that PWs already do. Maybe I don’t understand the draft, but this looks like a deployment description that does not need standardisation. Please can the authors help the WG better understand why this needs to be an IETF specification?
