The widespread interest in provider-provisioned Virtual Private
Network (VPN) solutions lead to memos proposing different and
overlapping solutions.  The IETF working groups (first Provider
Provisioned VPNs and later Layer 2 VPNs and Layer 3 VPNs) have
discussed these proposals and documented specifications.  This has
lead to the development of a partially new set of concepts used to
describe the set of VPN services.

To a certain extent, more than one term covers the same
concept, and sometimes the same term covers more than one concept.
This document seeks to make the terminology in the
area clearer and more intuitive.

This document is a product of the Layer 3 Virtual Private Networks
Working Group of the IETF.
