A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories. This draft is a work item of the Point-to-Point Protocol
Extensions Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Layer Two Tunneling Protocol "L2TP" - Security
Extensions for Non-IP networks
Author(s) : Pat Calhoun, W. Mark Townsley
Filename : draft-ietf-pppext-l2tp-sec-00.txt
Pages : 8
Date : 06/16/1997
The L2TP Document defines the base protocol which describes the
method of tunneling PPP data. The spec states that the security mechanism
used over an IP network is to use the IETF's IPSEC protocols.
L2TP was designed in such a way as to be able to run over any
underlying layer (i.e. Frame Relay, ATM, etc.). This document specifies
extensions to the L2TP protocol in order to provide authentication
and integrity of individual packets in a tunneled session over a
non-IP network. It does not intend to provide a mechanism for
encryption of packets.

Send a message to: mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-pppext-l2tp-sec-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net 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.
