Where Does it Fit in the Picture of the Sub-IP Work
PPVPN Working Group

Why is it targeted at this WG
This document provides requirements for Provider Provisioned Virtual 
Private Networks (PPVPNs). 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.

Justification
This document includes original input from several Service Providers and 
revised text from existing ITU-T Draft Recommendations (Y.1311.1, Y.1311). 
It  was prepared by a design team at the request of the working group chairs
and 
area directors as input to the PPVPN working group. It will evolve on the
basis of 
additional input from the design team itself, comments received and the
ongoing
efforts of the working group.
