A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Layer Two Tunneling Protocol Extensions Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: L2TP Session Information (``SESINFO'')
	Author(s)	: W. Palter
	Filename	: draft-ietf-l2tpext-sesinfo-03.txt

The Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol ('L2TP') [1] defines a mechanism for
tunneling PPP sessions.  The current RFC is lacking a way for the LAC
to provide the LNS with data about the PPP session which can be
useful for accounting and debugging purposes. This is especially a
problem when the session transverses several L2TP tunnels before it
is finally terminated (sometimes called 'tunnel switching' or
'Multihop'). This draft provides additional AVPs that MAY be used to
provide port type and port identication information to the
terminating LNS, for accounting and debugging use.

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.
