>In any Provider Provisioned-Based VPN (PPVPN) scheme, the Provider
>    Edge (PE) devices attached to a common VPN must exchange certain
>    information as a prerequisite to establish VPN-specific
>    connectivity. The purpose of this draft is to define a BGP based
>    auto-discovery mechanism for both layer-2 VPN architectures and
>    layer-3 VPNs (Virtual Routers ?VR [VPN-VR]). This mechanism is based
>    on the approach used by BGP/MPLS-IP-VPN [BGP/MPLS-IP-VPN] for
>    distributing VPN routing information within the service provider(s).
>    Each VPN scheme uses the mechanism to automatically discover the
>    information needed by that particular scheme.
