Um, if you order an MPLS connection between two distant sites, doesn't
the provider normally (in my experience) just hand you ports that are
effectively layer 2? IPvAnything doesn't even factor in.

oh, so it occurs to me that when I read the original post I read it as
'mpls network' not 'mpls p2p link', I suppose if the OP was looking
for an L2 circuit emulated across an MPLS network ... that's the same
thing as a wave (basically) at the customer hand off.
