Ballot Text

Technical Summary

This informational document describes how a service provider can
supply VPN services using provider-provisioned CE-based devices
which make use of IPsec for tunneling across the provider network
between the CE based devices.

Working Group Summary

These documents were a product of first the PPVPN WG, and later the L3VPN
WG. They passed WG Last Call, but have not been actively discussed in the
WG for some time. There is little interest to work on CE-based VPN
problems within the WG today. The L3VPN WG is being rechartered to reflect
this, and these documents are being advanced as Informational for the
historical record.

The chairs reported that there were no WG conflicts regarding this draft.



Protocol Quality

This document was reviewed by Ross Callon and Mark Townsley.
