L2VPN BGP Route Target Config Table.
          
This table specifies the Route Targets that are imported and
exported during BGP auto-discovery.
          
In BGP auto-discovery each L2VPN instance advertises itself
by originating a BGP L2VPN route and discovers other L2VPN
instances by importing their BGP L2VPN routes.
          
The Route Target configuration controls which L2VPN
instances import which BGP L2VPN routes, and so determines
which L2VPN instances discover each other and establish
pseudowires.
          
-  When an L2VPN instance originates a BGP L2VPN route it
   includes its export Route Targets as extended community
   attributes in the BGP L2VPN route.
          
-  When an L2VPN instance receives a BGP L2VPN route it only
   imports the route if one of its import Route Targets
   matches the received route.
          
-  The result is that two L2VPN instances only discover each
   other if each exports a Route Target that the other
   imports.
          
Each L2VPN instance that uses BGP auto-discovery must be
configured with at least one Route Target, otherwise it
will never discover other L2VPN instances (no import Route
Target) and never be discovered by other L2VPN instances
(no export Route Target).
          
The simplest configuration is for each L2VPN instance to
import and export a single Route Target that is unique to
the L2VPN that it belongs to.
          
This MIB table corresponds to vplsBgpRteTargetTable in
draft-ietf-l2vpn-vpls-mib-10, and is also used for
configuration of  BGP Route Targets for VPWS instances that
are provisioned using the colored-pools method.
