SUMMARY:

        This memo presents an approach for building core Virtual
        Private Network (VPN) services in a service provider's MPLS backbone.
        This approach uses Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) running in
        the backbone to provide premium services in addition to best effort
        services. The central vision is for the service provider to provide a
        virtual router service to their customers. The keystones of this
        architecture are ease of configuration, user security, network
        security, dynamic neighbor discovery, scaling and the use of existing
        routing protocols as they exist today without any modifications.

WHERE DOES IT FIT IN THE PICTURE OF THE SUB-IP WORK
         
         This work fits in the PPVPN box.
                 
WHY IS IT TARGETED AT THIS WG
        It addresses the following work item from the PPVPN WG charter:
        The working group is expected to consider at least three
        specific approaches including BGP-VPNs (e.g. RFC 2547), virtual routers and port-based
        VPNs. This ID is based on the virtual router approach.

JUSTIFICATION
         The WG should consider this document as it specifically addresses
         work items called out in the charter of the PPVPN working group.
