Title : Layer-3 Extensions to DLEP
Authors : Rick Taylor

Filename : draft-taylor-manet-l3-dlep-00.txt
Pages : 8

Abstract:
There exists a class of devices where DLEP functionality is desired
but as the devices operate at layer-3, supporting the core DLEP
specification with its requirement that modems operate as transparent
layer-2 bridges is inappropriate.
This document introduces two optional extensions to the core DLEP
specification. Each extension may be used in isolation without
breaking backwards compatibility.
By relaxing the requirement that all DLEP destinations be identified
by MAC address, and the addition of a new extension TLV describing
available destination routes, the functionality of DLEP can be
implemented by layer-3 forwarding devices.
Note:
o This document is intended as an extension to the core DLEP
specification, and readers are expected to be fully conversant
with the operation of core DLEP.
o The DLEP specification is still in draft, and this document serves
a secondary purpose to explore and validate the extension
mechanisms detailed in DLEP. This document will therefore require
further update as the core DLEP draft progresses towards standards
track.
