I wrote the sentence and then deleted it, because I didn't want to go
into details :-).
Yes, _some_ of it is called AToM (Any Transport over MPLS). Like the
name implies these are MPLS-based L2 VPN services. There are others,
especially the ones implemented using L2TPv3, that do not require
underlying MPLS network to operate. Now, Cisco has a name to call them
all, but for the love of God, I can't recall it. It is something along
the "consolidated l2 vpn" lines. This also covers "local switching",
L2 interworking (where you have two L2 endpoints using different
technologies, for example L2 circuit between FR and Ethernet, or ATM
and Ethernet), etc.
