	Title		: Use of PE-PE IPsec in RFC2547 VPNs
	Author(s)	: E. Rosen et al.

[RFC2547bis] specifies a particular way of implementing Layer 3 VPNs.
It presupposes the use of MPLS Label Switched Paths (LSPs) for
carrying VPN traffic between Provider Edge (PE) routers, and
specifies the use of two labels in the MPLS label stack.  In some
circumstances, it is desirable to support the same type of VPN
architecture, using an IPsec Security Association in place of an MPLS
LSP, thus replacing the topmost of the two MPLS labels with an
IP/IPsec header.  This enables the VPN packets to be carried securely
over non-MPLS networks, using standard IPsec authentication and/or
encryption functions to protect them.  This draft specifies the
procedures which are specific to support of RFC2547bis VPNs using the
IPsec encapsulation.

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.
