A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : IP over LAN Service (IPLS) Author(s) : H. Shah et al. Filename : draft-shah-ppvpn-ipls-00.txt Pages : 16 Date : 2002-10-21 A Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) [VPLS] is used to interconnect systems across a wide-area or metropolitan-area network, making it appear to those systems as if they are interconnected on a private LAN. The systems which are interconnected in this way may themselves be LAN switches. If, however, the interconnected systems are NOT LAN switches, but rather are IP hosts or IP routers, certain simplifications are possible. We call this simplified type of virtual private LAN service an 'IP over LAN Service' (IPLS). In IPLS, as in VPLS, LAN interfaces are run in promiscuous mode, and frames are forwarded based on their MAC Destination Addresses. However, the maintenance of the MAC forwarded tables is done via signaling, rather than via the 'MAC Address Learning' procedures of IEEE 802.1D. Further, Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) messages are proxied, rather than being carried transparently. This draft specifies the protocols and procedures for support of the IPLS service.

Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-shah-ppvpn-ipls-00.txt". A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-shah-ppvpn-ipls-00.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
