The IESG has approved 'A Framework for Layer 3 Provider Provisioned Virtual Private Networks' <draft-ietf-ppvpn-framework-08.txt> as an Informational RFC. This document is the product of the Provider Provisioned Virtual Private Networks Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Bert Wijnen and Scott Bradner. ======== RFC Editor Note: Section 4.2.1.1, 1st paragraph Replace OLD: VPN configuration information could be entered into the network management application and distributed via SNMP, XML, CLI, or other means to the remote sites. With NEW: VPN configuration information could be entered into a network management application and distributed to the remote sites via the same means used to distribute other network management information. ---------------------------------------------- Section 4.3.6.2, 6th paragraph (5th item) Replace OLD: An SP network which supports VPNs must do extensive IP address filtering at its borders to prevent spoofed packets from penetrating the VPNs. An SP network which supports VPNs must do extensive IP address filtering at its borders to prevent spoofed packets from penetrating the VPNs. With NEW: An SP network which supports VPNs must do extensive IP address filtering at its borders to prevent spoofed packets from penetrating the VPNs. ---------------------------------------------- Section 4.7.1, 4th paragraph Replace OLD: Use of proprietary command-line interfaces is highly undesirable for this task, as they do not lend themselves to standard representations of managed objects. With NEW: Use of proprietary command-line interfaces has the disadvantage that proprietary interfaces do not lend themselves to standard representations of managed objects. ---------------------------------------------- Section 5.2, 3rd paragraph DELETE OLD: With layer 3 VPNs it is normal for PEs to have a physical link per VPN. In this case the PEs which terminate the interworking interface have a tunnel per VPN. ---------------------------------------------- Intellectual Property, 1st paragraph Replace OLD: The IETF has been notified of intellectual property rights claimed in regard to some or all of the specification contained in this document.
