Description of Working Group:

This working group is responsible for defining and specifying a
limited number of solutions for supporting provider-provisioned
layer-3 (routed) virtual private networks (L3VPNs).

The WG is responsible for standardization of the following solutions:

 1. BGP/MPLS IP VPNs (based on RFC 2547)
 2. IP VPNs using Virtual Routers
 3. CE-based VPNs using IPSEC

As part of this effort the WG will work on the following tasks
(additional work items will require rechartering):

 1. Generic framework for Layer 3 VPNs

 2. Solution documents for each approach listed above (including
    applicability statements)

 3. MIB definitions for each approach
 
 4. Security mechanisms for each approach (2547b in particular)

The WG will address intra-AS scenarios only at this point (inter-AS
considerations will be considered for inclusion in the updated
charter when the current one is completed.)
   
As a general rule, the WG will not create new protocols, but will 
provide functional requirements for extensions of the existing 
protocols that will be discussed in the protocol-specific WGs.

Future work items may also include OAM, and multicast support.
