	Title		: Framework for IPsec Protected Virtual Links for PPVPNs
	Author(s)	: M. Duffy

This memo explores some choices that arise when IPsec is to be used 
to implement secure 'virtual links' interconnecting customer premises 
VPN devices and/or network based virtual routers.  The main focus is 
on the network based cases. 
Requirements are proposed and some relevant aspects of the IPsec 
protocol suite are discussed.  A number of different protocol 
architectures for virtual links are then evaluated. 
This memo is informational in nature; it is intended that it will 
focus discussion toward a standard in this area.

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.
