If you mean STEP as in:
http://www.netcore.fi/pekkas/ietf/draft-savola-v6ops-conftun-
setup-02.txt (because it has expired from the id-dir already)

this primarly only defines the problem and mentions some of the various
solutions that can be taken, but no final word is given on actually
doing it, let alone any implementation.

The appendices name a number of other protocols which actually do the
work. IMHO it thus fills some gap between the other problem statements
and solutions documents; While the real problem is more: who are you are
trying to give connectivity, what do you have now and how would you like
to do it. And there is no single solution for that problem, especially
when considering that some ISP's want to use it as an upgrade path to
native lines, without having to renumber their clients later on and of
course with as less possible changes in their infrastructure. Custom
solutions based on a number of predefined solutions is thus probably the
answer, but a single solution, not IMHO ;)
