Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   information for both layer 2 and layer 3 VPNs is encoded in a new
   IPv6 Destination Option.  The new IPv6 Destination Option is called

   One purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate that the VPN Service
   Option can be implemented and deployed in a production network.
   Another purpose is to demonstrate that the security considerations,
   described in this document, have been sufficiently addressed.
   Finally, this document encourages replication of the experiment.
