SUMMARY:
This is the draft requirements document for the PPVPN working group.
It identifes requirements applicable to a number of individual approaches
that a Service 
Provider may use for the provisioning of a VPN service. 
This document expresses a Service Provider perspective, based upon past
experience
of IP-based service offerings and the ever-evolving needs of the customers
of such services. 
Toward this end, it first defines terminology and states general
requirements. 
Detailed requirements are expressed from a customer as well as a Service
Provider perspective.
