Hello, In the years following the publication of the PPPoE protocol much operational experience and customer feedback was gathered. These deployments led to the discovery of several shortcomings or enhancements needed such as (but not limited to): QoS, Multicast, MIBs, Route Updates, Seamless Service Selection, etc. Even tough several companies stepped forward and wrote drafts proposing solutions to these issues, the lack of a appropriate forum within the IETF to discuss them had undesired consequences for these proposals such as little adoption or interoperability problems when adopted. Not to mention that the original PPPoE RFC (2516) has an informational status. Due to the widespread use of this protocol and the issues mentioned above, we are proposing that the interested parties join the newly created mailing list for the purpose to discuss how to create within the IETF an official forum to standardize the PPPoE protocol and related work. We are also working with the Internet Area Directors on possibly holding a BOF, and one of the purposes of creating the mailing list is to gauge interest and discuss what a WG would do. Here are some references to work related to the PPPoE protocol: http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-song-pppoe-ext-multicast-00.txt http://community.roxen.com/developers/idocs/drafts/draft-wheeler-info-pppoe- mib-00.html http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-penno-pppoe-ext-qos-00.txt http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-penno-pppoe-ext-service-03.txt http://community.roxen.com/developers/idocs/drafts/draft-carrel-info-pppoe-e xt-00.html http://community.roxen.com/developers/idocs/drafts/draft-fiaschi-qoscapabili ty-ppp-00.txt http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-dasilva-l2tp-relaysvc-00.txt http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2516.txt?number=2516 To subscribe to the mailing list, visit the URL: http://eng.registro.br/mailman/listinfo/pppoe-ietf or send a message to pppoe-ietf-request@eng.registro.br with the word "subscribe" (without the quotes) in the message body thanks, Reinaldo Penno
