Hi, Joel, The statement is that pure overlay VPNs cannot meet the requirement of some new services, and it would require integration between the underlay and the overlay networks. As mentioned in this document, there is existing technology in the underlay to support enhanced VPNs , such as using a set of MPLS-TE based resource reserved point-to-point paths, while it scalability is the concern of many operators. Thus VTN is introduced to provide the required topology and resource attribute in the underlay in a scalable manner. This is described in the introduction section. Hope this helps.

As the description is quite vague, I can not be certain. But I do not know of any difficulty in providing the described capabilities with current technology, without introducing a new, undescribed, construct called a VTN.
