Hi Claude,

I have some concerns about the descriptions for port mode and L2TPv3.

There is an implication that there is no one-to-one capability for L2TPv3,
since L2TPv3 uses port mode and that port mode is for mapping all the DLCIs
on a port to a single pseudowire.

I don't think port mode is a good name.
If you are going to tunnel the whole port across a pseudowire,
you may as well use HDLC mode.
A better name might be DLCI mode, since the DLCI header is included.
You could use this mode for one-to-one mapping or mapping any arbitrary subset
of DLCIs on the port to a particular pseudowire.

Cheers.
