NAME OF I-D:

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-rosen-vpns-ospf-bgp-mpls-02.txt

SUMMARY

The  base  specification  for  RFC2547 VPNs,  i.e.,  draft-rosen-rfc2547bis-
03.txt, allows  for several methods by  which a VPN  customer may distribute
VPN routes  to and  receive VPN  routes from a  service provider.   One such
method is  by the use  of OSPF  on the link  connecting the customer  to the
service  provider.  However, the  base specification  does not  describe the
full set  of procedures needed  in order to  use OSPF in this  manner.  This
draft provides the specification of those procedures.

WHERE DOES IT FIT IN THE PICTURE OF THE SUB-IP WORK

This work fits squarely 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).

It  extends the  base specification  for RFC2547  VPNs by  adding procedures
governing a fairly common case.

JUSTIFICATION

The WG should consider this document as it specifically addresses one of the
work items called out in the charter.
