This document describes an IP/MPLS network that has an infrastructure
that can be separated into two or more strata.  For the
implementation described in this document, the infrastructure has
been separated into two strata: one for the "Hard Pipes", called the
"Hard Pipe Stratum", and one for the normal IP/MPLS traffic, called
the "Normal IP/MPLS Stratum".

This document introduces the concept of a Hard Pipe -- an MPLS Label
Switched Path (LSP) or a pseudowire (PW) with a bandwidth that is
guaranteed and can neither be exceeded nor infringed upon.

The Hard Pipe stratum does not use statistical multiplexing; for the
LSPs and PWs set up within this stratum, the bandwidth is guaranteed
end to end.

The document does not specify any new protocol or procedures.  It
does explain how the MPLS standards implementation has been deployed
and operated to meet the requirements from operators that offer
traditional Virtual Leased Line (VLL) services.
